My God, in whom are all the springs Of bound-less love, and grace un-known, Hide me be-neath Thy spread-ing wings Till the dark cloud is o-ver-blown. Up to the heavens I send my cry, The Lord will my de-sires per-form; He sends His an-gel from the sky, And saves me from the threat-'ning storm. Be Th... Read More

My heart does o-ver-flow, a good-ly theme is mine; My ea-ger tongue with joy-ful song does praise the King di-vine. Su-preme-ly fair You are, Your lips with grace o'er-flow; His rich-est bless-ings ev-er-more does God on You be-stow. Now gird you with your sword, O strong and might-y One, In splen-d... Read More

My ref-uge is the God of love; Why do my foes in-sult and cry, "Fly like a tim-orous trem-bling dove, To dis-tant woods or moun-tains fly"? If God's con-trol be all des-troyed, (That firm foun-da-tion of our peace) And vi-o-lence make jus-tice void, Where shall the right-eous seek re-lief? The Lord ... Read More

My Shep-herd will sup-ply my need: Je-ho-vah is His name; In pas-tures fresh He makes me feed, Be-side the liv-ing stream. He brings my wan-der-ing spir-it back When I for-sake His ways, And leads me, for His mer-cy's sake, In paths of truth and grace. When I walk through the shades of death His pre... Read More

My song for-ev-er shall re-cord The ten-der mer-cies of the Lord; Your faith-ful-ness will I pro-claim, And ev-ery age shall know your name. I sing of mer-cies that en-dure, For-ev-er build-ed firm and sure, Of faith-ful-ness that nev-er dies, Es-tab-lished change-less in the skies. Be-hold God's tr... Read More

My soul, Thy great Cre-a-tor praise: When clothed in His cel-es-tial rays He in full maj-es-ty ap-pears, And, like a robe, His glo-ry wears. The heavens are for His cur-tains spread, The un-fa-thomed deep He makes His bed; Clouds are His char-iot, when He flies On wing-ed storms a-cross the skies. A... Read More

My spi-rit looks to God a-lone; My rock and ref-uge is His throne; In all my fears, in all my straits, My soul on His sal-va-tion waits. Trust Him, ye saints, in all your ways, Pour out your hearts be-fore His face; When help-ers fail, and foes in-vade, God is our all suff-i-cient aid. God is our al... Read More

My spir-it sinks with-in me, Lord, But I will call Thy Name to mind, And times of past dis-tress re-cord, When I have found my God was kind. Huge trou-bles, with tu-mul-tuous noise, Swell like a sea, and round me spread; Thy wat-er-spouts drown all my joys, And ris-ing waves roll o'er my head. Yet w... Read More

No con-dem-na-tion now in Christ Je-sus! Great con-so-la-tion—Je-sus has died! Our sin laid on Him, full par-don gives us. Look-ing by faith dim, we're jus-ti-fied! With judg-ment sure, must God re-com-pense us? He per-fect-ly just, what is our plea? This: "Christ is for us! Who is a-gainst us?" His... Read More

Not all the blood of beasts On Jew-ish al-tars slain Could give the guil-ty con-science peace Or wash a-way the stain. But Christ, the heaven-ly Lamb, Takes all our sins a-way; A sac-ri-fice of no-bler name And rich-er blood than they. My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of Thine While lik... Read More

Not un-to us, O Lord of heaven, But un-to You be glo-ry given; In love and truth You do ful-fill The coun-sels of Your sov-ereign will; Though na-tions fail your power to own, Yet You do reign, and You a-lone. Let Is-rael trust in God a-lone, The Lord whose grace and power are known; To Him your ful... Read More

Not what my hands have done Can save my guilt-y soul; Not what my toil-ing flesh has borne Can make my spir-it whole. Not what I feel or do Can give me peace with God; Not all my prayers and sighs and tears Can bear my aw-ful load. Thy work a-lone, O Christ, Can ease this weight of sin; Thy blood a-... Read More

Now be my heart in-spired to sing The glo-ries of my Sa-viour-King, Je-sus the Lord; how heaven-ly fair His form! how bright His beau-ties are! His form! how bright His beau-ties are! O'er all the sons of hu-man race He shines with a su-per-ior grace, Love from His lips di-vine-ly flows, And bles-si... Read More

Now may the God of power and grace At-tend His peo-ple's hum-ble cry! Je-ho-vah hears when Is-rael prays, And brings de-liv-erance from on high. The name of Ja-cob's God de-fends Bet-ter than shields or bra-zen walls; He from His sanc-tu-ar-y sends Suc-cour and strength, when Zi-on calls. Well He re... Read More

Now plead my cause, al-might-y God, With all the sons of strife; And fight a-gainst the men of blood Who fight a-gainst my life. Draw out Thy spear and stop their way, Lift Thine a-veng-ing rod; But to my soul in mer-cy say, I am thy Sav-iour God. They plant their snares to catch my feet, And nets o... Read More

Now thank we all our God, With heart and hands and voi-ces, Who won-drous things hath done, In whom His world re-joi-ces; Who from our mo-ther's arms Hath blessed us on our way With count-less gifts of love, And still is ours to-day. O may this boun-teous God Through all our life be near us, With ev... Read More

O bless the Lord, my soul; Let all with-in me join, And aid my tongue to bless His name, Whose fa-vors are di-vine. O bless the Lord, my soul, Nor let His mer-cies lie For-got-ten in un-thank-ful-ness, And with-out prai-ses die. 'Tis He for-gives your sins, 'Tis He re-lieves your pain, 'Tis He that ... Read More

O Christ, our King, Cre-a-tor, Lord, Sa-vior of all who trust Thy Word, To them who seek Thee ev-er near, Now to our prais-es bend Thine ear. In Thy dear cross a grace is found (It flows from ev-ery stream-ing wound) Whose power in-bred sin con-trols, Breaks the firm bond, and frees our souls. Thou ... Read More

O could I speak the match-less worth, O could I sound the glo-ries forth Which in my Sav-ior shine! I'd sing His per-fect right-eous-ness, And mag-ni-fy the won-drous grace Which made sal-va-tion mine, Which made sal-va-tion mine. I'd sing the pre-cious blood He spilt, My ran-som from the dread-ful ... Read More

O for a thou-sand tongues to sing My great Re-deem-er's praise, The glo-ries of my God and King, The tri-umphs of His grace! My gra-cious Mas-ter and my God, As-sist me to pro-claim, To spread through all the earth a-broad The hon-ors of Thy name. Je-sus! the name that charms our fears, That bids ou... Read More
