Sweet is the memory of Thy grace

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 234 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the memory of Thy grace, My God, my heavenly King! Let age to age Thy righteousness In sounds of glory sing. 2 God reigns on high, but ne'er confines His goodness to the skies; Through the whole earth His bounty shines, And every want supplies. 3 With longing eyes Thy creatures wait On Thee for daily food; Thy liberal hand provides their meat, And fills their mouths with good. 4 How kind are Thy compassions, Lord! How slow Thine anger moves! But soon He sends His pardoning word, To cheer the souls He loves. 5 Creatures with all their endless race, Thy power and praise proclaim; But saints, who taste Thy richer grace, Delight to bless Thy Name.

Christ Is Gone Up

Author: John M. Neale Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Christ is gone up; yet ere He passed Lyrics: 1. Christ is gone up; yet ere He passed From earth, in Heav’n to reign, He formed one holy Church to last Till He should come again. 2. His twelve Apostles first He made His ministers of grace; And they their hands on others laid, To fill in turn their place. 3. So age by age, and year by year, His grace was handed on; And still the holy Church is here, Although her Lord is gone. 4. Let those find pardon, Lord, from Thee, Whose love to her is cold: Bring wanderers in, and let there be One Shepherd and one fold. 5. And now we haste with thankful feet To seek our Savior’s face; And in the holy Church to meet, His chosen dwelling place. Used With Tune: ST.

They in the Lord that firmly trust

Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 They in the Lord that firmly trust shall be like Zion hill, which at no time can be removed, but stand for ever will. 2 As round about Jerusalem the mountains stand alway, the Lord his folk doth compass so, from henceforth and for aye. 3 For ill men's rod upon the lot of just men shall not lie; lest righteous men stretch forth their hands unto iniquity. 4 Do thou to all those that be good thy blessing, Lord, impart; thy blessing give thou unto all who upright are in heart.

God will I bless all times; his praise

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God will I bless all times; his praise my mouth shall still express. 2 My soul shall boast in God: the meek shall hear with joyfulness. 3 Extol the Lord with me, let us his name together praise; 4 I sought the Lord, he heard, and did above all fears me raise. 5 They looked to him and lightened were: their faces were not shamed; 6 this poor man cried, God heard, and him from all distress redeemed. 7 The angel of the Lord encamps, and round encompasseth all those about that do him fear, and them delivereth. 8 O taste and see that God is good: who trusts in him is blessed. 9 Fear God his saints: none that him fear shall be with want oppressed. 10 The lions young may hungry be, and they may lack their food: but they that truly seek the Lord shall not lack any good. 11 O children, hither do ye come, and unto me give ear; I shall you teach to understand how ye the Lord should fear. 12 What man is he that life desires, to see good would live long? 13 Thy lips refrain from speaking guile, and from ill words thy tongue. 14 Depart from ill, do good, seek peace, pursue it earnestly. 15 God’s eyes are on the just; his ears are open to their cry. 16 The face of God is set against those that do wickedly, that he may quite out from the earth cut off their memory. 17 The righteous cry unto the Lord, he unto them gives ear; and they out of their troubles all by him delivered are. 18 The Lord is ever nigh to them in heart that broken be; those who in spirit contrite are he saveth graciously. 19 The troubles that afflict the just in number many be; but yet at length out of them all the Lord doth set him free. 20 He carefully his bones doth keep, whatever may befall; that not so much as one of them can broken be at all. 21 Ill shall the wicked slay; condemned shall be who hate the just. 22 The Lord redeems his servants’ souls; none perish that him trust.

Lord, Who Hast Sought Us Out, Unsought

Author: George Croly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, who hast sought us out, unsought, Arise, and make us whole: Teach us to love Thee as we ought, And give Thee all the soul. 2 Grant that all we, who meet, this hour, Within Thy house of prayer, May have Thy peace, and own Thy power, But spare our weakness, spare! 3 Give us Thy grace, Thy faith, Thy love, In all our hearts’ distress; O Thou! in whom we live and move, Look down, and hear, and bless. 4 Jesus! assume Messiah’s throne, Thy foes before Thee driven, Thy will, in grace and glory, done In earth as ’tis in Heaven.
