Praise to the Redeemer

Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 362 hymnals First Line: To our redeemer's glorious name Lyrics: 1 To our redeemer's glorious name, Awake the sacred song! O may his love, (immortal flame!) Tune every heart and tongue. 2 His love, what mortal thought can reach? What mortal tongue display? Imagination's utmost stretch In wonder dies away. 3 He left his radient throne on high, Left the bright realms of bliss, And came to earth to bleed and die!— Was ever love like this! 4 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay Our humble thanks to thee; May every heart with rapture say, "The savior dy'd for me." 5 O may the sweet, the blissful theme, Fill every heart and tongue; Till strangers love thy charming name, And join the sacred song.

For the 5th of November

Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: To thee, almighty God, we bring Lyrics: 1 To thee, almighty God, we bring The humble tribute of our songs; O teach our thankful hearts to sing, Or praise will languish on their tongues. 2 While Britain (favor'd of the skies) Recalls the wonders God hath wrought; Let grateful joy adoring rise, And warm to rapture every thought. 3 When hell and Rome combin'd their power, And doom'd these isles their certain prey; Thy hand forbade the fatal hour, Their impious plots in ruin lay. 4 Again our restless cruel foes Resum'd, avow'd their black design; Again to save us God arose, And Britain own'd the hand divine. 5 Why, gracious God, is Britain sav'd? Why bless'd with liberty and light? Nor by fell tyranny enslav'd, Nor lost in superstition's night? 6 Not for our sake, we conscious own; A wretched, vile, ungrateful race: 'Tis done to make thy glory known; To show the wonders of thy grace. 7 The wonders of thy grace complete; Reform this wretched guilty land! Let thankful love, beneath thy feet, Confess thy kind, thy guardian hand! 8 Let every age adore thy name, While nature's circling wheels shall roll! Thy mercies every tongue proclaim, And sound thy praise from pole to pole.

Author: Jesse Appears in 20 hymnals First Line: Unclean, unclean, and full of sin Lyrics: 1 Unclean! unclean! and full of sin, From first to last, alas, I've been! Deceitful is my heart: Guilt presses down my burden'd soul, But Jesus can the waves controul, And bid my fears depart. 2 When first I heard his word of grace, Ungratefully I hid my face, Ungratefully delay'd: At length his voice more powerful came, " 'Tis I" he cry'd "I, still the same, "Thou need's not be afraid." 3 My heart was chang'd, in that same hour My soul confess'd his mighty power, Outflow'd the briny tear: I listen'd still to hear his voice, Again he said, "in me rejoice, " 'Tis I, thou need's not fear." 4 "Unworthy of thy love," I cry'd, "Freely I love," he soon reply'd, "On me thy faith be staid; "On me for every thing depend, "I'm Jesus still, the sinner's friend.

Peace prayed for

Author: Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: On Britain, long a favor'd Isle Lyrics: 1 On Britain, long a favor'd Isle, Now o'erwhelmed with sin and shame, Deign, mighty God, once more to smile; The same thy power, thy grace the same. 2 Let peace descend with balmy wing, And all its blessings round her shed; Her liberties be well secur'd, And commerce raise its fainting head: 3 Let the loud cannon cease to roar, The warlike trump no longer sound; The din of arms be heard no more, Nor human blood pollute the ground. 4 Let hostile troops from their hands, The useless sword, the glittering spear; And join in friendship's sacred bands, Nor one dissentient voice be there. 5 Thus save, O Lord, a sinking land, Millions of tongues shall then adore, Resound the honors of thy name, From spread thy praise from shore to shore.
