Deep Are the Wounds That Sin Has Made

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 166 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Deep are the wounds that sin has made; Where shall the sinner find a cure? In vain, alas! is nature’s aid; The work exceeds all nature’s power. 2. And can no sovereign balm be found? And is no kind physician nigh, To ease the pain, and heal the wound, Ere life and hope for ever fly? 3. There is a great Physician near; Look up, O fainting soul, and live! See in His heavenly smiles appear Such ease as nature cannot give. 4. See in the dying Savior’s blood Life, health, and bliss abundant flow! ’Tis only this dear, sacred flood Can ease thy pain, and heal thy woe. 5. Sin throws in vain its pointed dart, For here a sovereign cure is found, A cordial for the fainting heart, A balm for every painful wound. Used With Tune: ST. SEPULCHRE Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760

Who, ere the earliest dawn of light, Wast from eternal ages born, Immense in glory as in might. 2 Immortal hope of all mankind! In whom the Father’s face we see; Hear Thou the prayers Thy people pour This day throughout the world to Thee. 3 Remember, O Creator Lord! That in the virgin’s sacred womb Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh Didst our mortality assume. 4 This ever blest recurring day Its witness bears, that all alone, From Thy own Father’s bosom forth, To save the world Thou camest down. 5 O Day! to which the seas and sky, And earth and Heav’n, glad welcome sing; O Day! which healed our misery, And brought on earth salvation’s king. 6 We too, O Lord, who have been cleansed In Thy own fount of blood divine, Offer the tribute of sweet song, On this blest natal day of thine. 7 O Jesu! born of virgin bright, Immortal glory be to Thee; Praise to the Father infinite, And Holy Ghost eternally.

To Thee we look, on Thee we call; Lord, we are nothing in Thy sight, But Thou to us art all in all. 3 Still may Thy children in Thy word Their common trust and refuge see; O bind us to each other, Lord, By one great bond, – the love of Thee. 4 Here, at the portal of Thy house, We leave our mortal hopes and fears; Accept our prayers and bless our vows, And dry our penitential tears. 5 So shall our sun of hope arise, With brighter and still brighter ray, Till Thou shalt bless our longing eyes With beams of everlasting day.

O For That Flame Of Living Fire

Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 94 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for that flame of living fire, Which shone so bright in saints of old! Which bade their souls to Heav’n aspire, Calm in distress, in danger bold. 2 Where is that Spirit, Lord, which dwelt In Abraham’s breast, and sealed him Thine? Which made Paul’s heart with sorrow melt, And glow with energy divine? 3 That Spirit which, from age to age, Proclaimed Thy love, and taught Thy ways? Brightened Isaiah’s vivid page, And breathed into David’s hallowed lays? 4 Is not Thy grace as mighty now As when Elijah felt its power; When glory beamed from Moses’ brow, Or Job endured the trying hour? 5 Remember, Lord, the ancient days; Renew Thy work; thy grace restore; Warm our cold hearts to prayer and praise, And teach us how to love Thee more.

Exert Thy Power

Author: Mrs. Vokes Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals First Line: Exert Thy power, Thy rights maintain Lyrics: 1 Exert Thy power, Thy rights maintain, Insulted, everlasting King! The influence of Thy crown increase, And strangers to Thy footstool bring. 2 We long to see that happy time, That dear, expected, blissful day, When countless myriads of our race The second Adam shall obey. 3 Thy prophecies must be fulfilled, Though earth and hell should dare oppose; The stone cut from the mountain’s side, Tho’ unobserved, to empire grows. 4 Soon shall the mingled image fall, Brass, silver, iron, gold and clay, And superstition’s gloomy reign To light and liberty give way. 5 In one sweet symphony of praise, Gentile and Jew shall then unite; And infidelity, ashamed, Sink in th’abyss of endless night. 6 Afric’s emancipated sons Shall join, with Europe’s polished race, To celebrate, in different tongues, The glories of redeeming grace. 7 From east to west, from north to south, Immanuel’s kingdom shall extend; And every man, in every face, Shall meet a brother, and a friend.
