O God, how many are my fears!

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: O God, how many are my fears! How fast my foes increase! Conspiring my eternal death, they try to break my peace. I cry, and from your holy hill you bow a listening ear; I call on you, my Lord and God, and you subdue my fear. You give soft slumbers to my eyes, in spite of all my foes; I wake, and wonder at the grace which guarded my repose. What though the hosts of death and hell, all armed, against me stood! Such foes shall shake my soul no more; my refuge is in God. Arise, O Lord! Fulfill your grace! It moves my heart to sing! My God will break the serpent's teeth, and death has lost its sting. Salvation is from you, O God; your arm alone will save; your blessings will attend us here and reach beyond the grave. Scripture: Psalm 3 Used With Tune: THIRSTING DEER Text Sources: Psalm 3, alt

Lift Up thine eyes, afflicted soul

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: Lift up thine eyes, afflicted soul! From earth uplift thine eyes, Though dark the shades of evening roll, And daylight beauty dies; One sun is set,--a thousand more Their rounds of glory run, Where science leads thee to explore In every star a sun. Thus, when some long-loved comfort ends, And frailty would despair, Faith to the heaven of heavens ascends, And meets ten thousand there. 182 First faint and small, then clear and bright, They gladden all the gloom, As stars, that seem but points of light, The rank of suns assume.

God, help us make your glories known

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: God, help us make your glories known, your works of power and grace: and we'll convey your wonders on to each and every race, remembering how you split the sea, and showed a pathway through; the watery walls defined the way as Israelites fled their foe. Your wondrous pillar marked their road, a guide of shade and light; by day it proved a sheltering cloud, a leading fire by night. Their need for water was supplied, abundant waters fell! A rock gushed rivers by their side — a constant miracle. And manna, like a morning shower, lay thick around their feet: the corn of heaven, so light, so pure, was their angelic meat. God, all may learn that you alone are where our hope shall stand, for we can see your glorious works, and yield to your commands Scripture: Psalm 78 Used With Tune: FARLEIGH WICK Text Sources: Psalm 78, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Parts, alt.

When, rising from the bed of death

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 260 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, rising from the bed of death, O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear, I view my Maker face to face, O how shall I appear? If yet, while pardon may be found, And mercy may be sought, My heart with inward horror shrinks, And trembles at the thought; 2 When thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclosed In majesty severe, And sit in judgement on my soul, O how shall I appear? But thou hast told the troubled mind Who does her sins lament, The timely tribute of her tears, Shall endless woe prevent. 3 Then see the sorrow of my heart, Ere yet it be too late; And hear my Saviour’s dying groans, To give those sorrows weight. For never shall my soul despair Her pardon to procure, Who knows thine only Son has died To make her pardon sure. Topics: The Christian Year Passiontide Used With Tune: THIRD MODE MELODY
