While Sinners Utter Boasting Words

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While sinners utter boasting words, And glory in their shame; The Lord, well pleased, an ear affords To those who fear His name. 2 They often meet to seek His face, And what they do or say, Is noted in His book of grace, Against another day. 3 For they, by faith, a day descry, A joyfully expect, When He, descending from the sky, His jewels will collect. 4 Unnoticed now, because unknown, A poor and suffering few; He comes to claim them for His own, And bring them forth to view. 5 With transport then, their Savior’s care And favor they shall prove; As tender parents guard and spare The children of their love. 6 Assembled worlds will then discern The saints alone are blest; When wrath shall like an oven burn, And vengeance strike the rest.

There seems a voice in every gale, A tongue in every flower, Which tells, O Lord, the wondrous tale Of Thy almighty power. 2. The birds, that rise on quivering wing, Proclaim their maker’s praise, And all the mingling sounds of spring To Thee an anthem raise. 3. Shall I be mute, great God, alone ’Midst nature’s loud acclaim? Shall not my heart, with answering tone, Breathe forth Thy holy name? 4. All nature’s debt is small to mine; Nature shall cease to be; Thou gavest proof of love divine, Immortal life to me. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

O Lord, While We Confess the Worth

Author: Mary B. Peters Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord, while we confess the worth Of this the outward seal, Do Thou the truths herein set forth To every heart reveal. 2. Death to the world we here avow, Death to each fleshly lust; Newness of life our calling now, A risen Lord our trust. 3. And we, O Lord, who now partake Of resurrection life, With every sin, for Thy dear sake, Would be at constant strife. 4. Baptized into the Father’s name, We’d walk as sons of God; Baptized in Thine, we own Thy claim As ransomed by Thy blood. 5. Baptized into the Holy Ghost, We’d keep His temple pure, And make Thy grace our only boast, And by Thy strength endure.
