The Lord, who truly knows

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord, who truly knows The heart of ev'ry saint, Invites us by His holy word To pray and never faint. 2 He bows His gracious ear; We never plead in vain; Yet we must wait till He appear, And pray, and pray again. 3 Though unbelief suggest, Why should we longer wait? He bids us never give Him rest, But be importunate. 4 'Twas thus a widow poor, Without support or friend, Beset the unjust judge's door, And gain'd at last her end. 5 And shall not Jesus hear His children when they cry? Yes, though He may awhile forbear, He'll not their suit deny. 6 Then let us earnest be, And never faint in prayer; He loves our importunity, And makes our cause His care.

Jesus, my strength, my hope

Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 389 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, my strength, my hope, On Thee I cast my care, With humble confidence look up, And know Thou hear’st my prayer. Give me on Thee to wait, Till I can all things do; On Thee, almighty to create, Almighty to renew. 2 I want a godly fear, A quick discerning eye, That looks to Thee when sin is near, And sees the tempter fly: A spirit still prepared, And arm'd with jealous care, For ever standing on its guard, And watching unto prayer. 3 I want a heart to pray, To pray and never cease, Never to murmur at thy stay Or wish my suff'rings less. This blessing, above all, Always to pray, I want, Out of the deep on Thee to call, And never, never faint. 4 I rest upon Thy Word; The promise is for me: My succor and salvation, Lord, Shall surely come from Thee. But let me still abide, Nor from my hope remove, Till Thou my patient spirit guide Into Thy perfect love.

O Zion, afflicted with wave upon wave

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Zion, afflicted with wave upon wave, Whom no man can comfort, whom no man can save; With darkness surrounded, by terrors dismay'd, In toiling and rowing, thy strength is decay'd. 2 Loud roaring, the billows now nigh o’erwhelm, But skilful’s the Pilot who sits at the helm; His wisdom conducts thee, His power thee defends; In safety and quiet thy warfare He ends. 3 "O fearful! O faithless!" in mercy He cries; “My promise, my truth, are they small in thine eyes? Still, still I am with thee, my promise shall stand; Through tempest and tossing I’ll bring thee to land."

With triumph or regret? A fearful or a joyful doom, A curse or blessing meet? 5 O Thou that wouldst not have One wretched sinner die, Who diedst thyself, my soul to save From endless misery. 6 Show me the way to shun Thy dreadful wrath severe, That when Thou comest on Thy throne, I may with joy appear.

Not all the blood of beasts

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 607 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away the stain. 2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away; A sacrifice of nobler name And richer blood than they. 3 My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of Thine, While as a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin. 4 My soul looks back to see The burden Thou didst bear When hanging on the curséd tree, And hopes her guilt was there.

Ye saints, proclaim abroad

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye saints, proclaim abroad The honors of your King To Jesus, your incarnate God, Your songs of praises sing. 2 Not angels round the throne Of majesty above, Are half so much obliged as we, To our Immanuel's love. 3 They never sunk so low, They are not raised so high; They never knew such depths of woe, Such heights of majesty. 4 The Saviour did not join Their nature to His own; For them He shed no blood divine, Nor breath'd a single groan. 5 May we with angels vie The Saviour to adore; Our debts are greater far than theirs, Oh, be our praises more!
