Let Every Tongue Thy Goodness Speak

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 214 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let every tongue Thy goodness speak, Thou sovereign Lord of all; Thy strengthening hands uphold the weak, And raise the poor that fall. 2. When sorrow bows the spirit down, Or virtue lies distressed, Beneath some proud oppressor’s frown, Thou giv’st the mourners rest. 3. The Lord supports our tottering days, And guides our giddy youth; Holy and just are all His ways, And all His words are truth. 4. He knows the pains His servants feel, He hears His children cry, And their best wishes to fulfill, His grace is ever nigh. 5. His mercy never shall remove From men of heart sincere; He saves the souls whose humble love Is joined with holy fear. 6. His stubborn foes His sword shall slay, And pierce their hearts with pain; But none that serve the Lord shall say, They sought His aid in vain. 7. My lips shall dwell upon His praise, And spread His fame abroad; Let all the sons of Adam rise The honors of their God. Used With Tune: BEDFORD Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Why should I love my sports so well

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: Why should I love my sports so well, So constant at my play, And lose the thoughts of heaven and hell, And then forget to pray? 76 What do I read my Bible for, But, Lord, to learn thy will? And shall I daily know thee more, And less obey thee still? How senseless is my heart, and wild! How vain are all my thoughts! Pity the weakness of a child, And pardon all my faults. Make me thy heavenly voice to hear, And let me love to pray; Since God will lend a gracious ear To what a child can say.

How shall we count the matchless sum, How pay the mighty debt? 2 High on a throne of radiant light Dost Thou exalted shine: What can our poverty bestow, When all the worlds are Thine? 3 But Thou hast brethren here below, The partners of Thy grace, And wilt confess their humble names Before Thy Father's face. 4 In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed, And visited and cheered; And in their accents of distress Our Saviour's voice is heard. 5 Thy face, with reverence and with love, We in Thy poor would see; Oh, may we minister to them, And in them, Lord, to Thee.
