My God, my portion, and my love
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 253 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
My God, my portion, and my love,
My everlasting All,
I've none but thee in heaven above,
Or on this earthly ball.
2.
What empty things are all the skies,
And this inferior clod!
There's nothing here deserves my joys,
There's nothing like my God.
3.
In vain the bright, the burning sun
Scatters his feeble light;
'Tis thy sweet beams create my noon;
If thou withdraw 'tis night.
4.
And whilst upon my restless bed,
Among the shades I roll,
If my Redeemer shows his head,
'Tis morning with my soul.
5.
To thee I owe my wealth, and friends,
And health, and safe abode:
Thanks to thy name for meaner things:
But they are not my God.
6.
How vain a toy is glittering wealth,
If once compared to thee;
Or what's my safety, or my health,
Or all my friends to me?
7.
Were I possessor of the earth,
And called the stars my own,
Without thy graces and thyself,
I were a wretch undone.
8.
Let others stretch their arms like seas,
And grasp in all the shore;
Grant me the visits of thy grace,
And I desire no more.

My God, my portion, and my love
Sing to the Lord, Ye Heav'nly Hosts
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 68 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sing to the Lord, ye heav’nly hosts,
And thou, O earth, adore;
Let death and hell through all their coasts
Stand trembling at His power.
2. His sounding chariot shakes the sky,
He makes the clouds His throne;
There all His stores of lightning lie,
Till vengeance darts them down.
3. His nostrils breathe out fiery streams
And from His awful tongue
A sovereign voice divides the flames,
And thunder roars along.
4. Think, O my soul! the dreadful day,
When this incensèd God
Shall rend the sky, and burn the sea,
And fling His wrath abroad.
5. What shall the wretch, the sinner do?
He once defied the Lord;
But he shall dread the Thund’rer now,
And sink beneath His Word.
6. Tempests of angry fire shall roll
To blast the rebel worm,
And beat upon his naked soul
In one eternal storm. Used With Tune: AWFUL MAJESTY Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-9, Book II, number 62, with the note "Made in a great sudden storm of thunder, August 20, 1697"

God, When I Came into This Life
We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight
Author: Henry Alford. 1810-1871 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words draw near,
O Christ , Who spoke as none e’er spoke;
"My preace be with you here."
2 We may not touch Your hands and side,
Nor follow where You trod;
But in your promise we rejoice,
And cry, “My Lord and God!”
3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
And may our faith abound
To call on You when You are near,
And seek where You are found.
4 That, when our life of faith is done,
In realms of clearer light
We may behold You as You are,
With full and endless sight.

The Day Approcheth
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 46 hymnals First Line: The day approacheth, O my soul Lyrics: 1 The day approacheth, O my soul,
The great decisive day,
Which from the verge of mortal life
Shall bear thee far away.
2 Another day more awful dawns;
And lo, the Judge appears;
Ye heav’ns, retire before His face,
And sink, ye darkened stars.
3 Yet does one short preparing hour,
One precious hour remain;
Rouse thee, my soul, with all thy power,
Nor let it pass in vain.
4 With me my brethren soon must die,
And at that bar appear:
Now be our intercourse improved
To mutual comfort there.
5 For this, Thy temple, Lord, we throng;
For this, Thy board surround;
Here may our service be approved,
And in Thy presence crowned. Used With Tune: AWFUL MAJESTY Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scripture. By the Late Reverend Philip Doddridge, D. D., by Job Orton (J. Eddowes & J. Cotton: 1755)
