Now Let Our Cheerful Eyes Survey

Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 143 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Now let our cheerful eyes survey Our great high priest above, And celebrate His constant care, And sympathetic love. 2. Though raised to a superior throne, Where angels bow around, And high o’er all the shining train, With matchless honors crowned— 3. The names of all His saints He bears Engraven on His heart; Nor shall a name once treasured there E’er from His care depart. 4. Those characters shall fair abide Our everlasting trust, When gems, and monuments, and crowns, Are moldered down to dust. 5. So, gracious Savior! on my breast, May Thy dear name be worn, A sacred ornament and guard, To endless ages borne. Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL (Irons)

O Lord, I unto thee do cry

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I unto thee do cry, do thou make haste to me, and give an ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. 2 As incense let my prayer be directed in thine eyes; and the uplifting of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 3 Set, Lord, a watch before my mouth, keep of my lips the door. 4 My heart incline thou not unto the ills I should abhor, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity; and with their dainties let me not and them partaker be. 5 Let him that righteous is me smite, it shall a kindness be; let him reprove, I shall it count a precious oil to me, such oil my head shall not refuse, for yet shall come the day when I, in their calamities to God pray for them shall pray. 6 When down the sides of rugged rocks their judges shall be cast, then shall they hear my words; for they shall sweet be to their taste. 7 About the grave’s devouring mouth our bones are scattered round, as wood which men do cut and cleave lies scattered on the ground. 8 But unto thee, O God the Lord, mine eyes uplifted be: my soul do not leave destitute; my trust is set on thee. 9 Lord, keep me safely from the snares which they for me prepare; and from the subtle gins of them that evil-doers are. 10 Let workers of iniquity into their own nets fall, Whilst I do, by thine help, escape the danger of them all. Scripture: Psalm 141 Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM (FENWICK)

According to Thy Gracious Word

Heal Us, Immanuel, Hear Our Prayer

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer; we wait to feel your touch; deep-wounded souls to you repair, and, Savior, we are such. 2 Our faith is feeble, we confess; we faintly trust your word; but will you pity us the less? Be that far from you, Lord! 3 Remember him who once applied with trembling for relief; "Lord, I believe," with tears he cried; "O help my unbelief!" 4 She, too, who touched you in the press, and healing virtue stole, was answered, "Daughter, go in peace: your faith hath made you whole." 5 Like her, with hopes and fears we come to touch you if we may; O send us not despairing home; send none unhealed away.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: How great and solemn is the thing Lyrics: 1 How great and solemn is the thing, For which we here are come; To view the death of Zion’s King, And gaze upon his tomb; 2 To see him, under death’s arrest, Enter the dismal grave; Awhile in that dark cell to rest, Our mortal flesh to save; 3 To see him in his grave-clothes lie, His life and glory gone; To ask ourselves the reason why This wondrous deed was done; 4 To view the wounds of which he died And own our sins the cause; To honour Christ the crucified, Adhering to his laws; 5 To trace him rising from the tomb In victory over all; The first-born Son of nature’s womb, That rose no more to fall. 6 Here, humble saints, your tribute pay; A risen Saviour sing; Come, be baptized without delay, In honour of your King.
