Praise to God for renewing Grace

Stennett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals First Line: To God, my Savior and my king Lyrics: 1 To God, my Savior and my king, Fain would my soul her tribute bring Join me, ye saints, in songs of praise, For ye have known and felt his grace. 2 Wretched and helpless once I lay, Just breathing all my life away; He saw me welt'ring in my blood, And felt the pity of a God. 3 With peed he fled to my relief, Bound up my wounds, and sooth'd my grief; Pour'd joys divine into my heart, And bade each anxious fear depart. 4 These proofs of love, my dearest lord, Deep in my breast I will record: The life which I from thee receive, To thee, behold, I freely give. 5 My heart and tongue shall tune thy praise, Thro' the remainder of my days; And when I join the powers above, My soul shall better sing thy love.

Stennett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals First Line: To God the universal king Lyrics: 1 To God the universal king Let all mankind their tribute bring: All that have breath, your voices raise, In songs of never-ceasing praise. 2 The spacious earth on which we tread, And wider heavens stretch'd o'er our head, A large and solemn temple frame, To celebrate its builder's fame. 3 Here the bright sun that rules the day, As thro' the sky he makes his way, To all the world proclaims aloud The boundless sov'reignty of God. 4 When from his courts the sun retires, And with the day his voice expires, The moon and stars adopt the song, And thro' the night the praise prolong. 5 The list'ning earth with rapture hears Th' harmonious music of the spheres; And all her tribes the notes repeat, That God is wise, and good, and great. 6 But man endow'd with nobler pow'rs, His God in nobler strains adores: His is the gift to know the song, As well as sing with tuneful tongue.

Pity from thine eye let fall; Bless me, whilst on thee I call; Am I thine thou Son of God? Take the purchase of thy blood. 6 Father, see the victim slain, Offer'd up for guilty man; Hear his blood's prevailing cry; Let the bowels then reply: Then thro' him the sinner see; Then, in Jesus, look on me.
