How Tedious and Tasteless the Hours

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 650 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours When Jesus no longer I see! Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers, Have all lost their sweetness to me; The midsummer sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in Him, December's as pleasant as May. 2 His name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music His voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice; I should, were He always thus nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal so happy as I, My summer would last all the year. 3 Content with beholding His face, My all to His pleasure resigned, No changes of seasons or place Would make any change in my mind: While blest with a sense of His love, A palace a toy would appear; And prisons would palaces prove, If Jesus would dwell with me there. 4 Dear Lord, if indeed I am Thine, If Thou art my sun and my song, Say, why do I languish and pine, And why are my winters so long? O drive these dark clouds from my sky, Thy soul-cheering presence restore; Or take me to Thee upon high, Where winter and clouds are no more. Amen.

The Heavens in Their Splendor

Author: Rev. Edward A. Collier, D. D. Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The heav'ns in their splendor declare Lyrics: 1 The heav'ns in their splendor declare The might and the glory of God, For day unto day speaks His praise, And night tells His wisdom abroad. They speak not with audible word, Yet clear is the message they send; Their witness goes out thro' the earth, Their word to the world's farthest end. 2 The law that the Lord has ordained Is perfect, the soul to restore; His truth makes the simple most wise, The truth that is sure evermore. His precepts are righteous and just, Rejoicing the heart and the mind; And all His commandments are pure, Enlight'ning the eyes of the blind. 3 The fear of the Lord is most clean, Forever unmoved it has stood; His judgments are perfectly true, In all things most righteous and good. Such treasure no gold can supply, Such sweetness no honey afford; Their warnings none heed and obey But find most abundant reward. 4 O who can his errors discern? From hidden faults, Lord, keep me free; Let pride never reign in my heart, And clear of great sin I shall be. I pray that my words and my tho'ts May all with Thy precepts accord, And ever be pleasing to Thee, My Rock, my Redeemer, my Lord.
