Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 116 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye; See Adam's race in ruin lie; Sin spreads its trophies o'er the ground, And scatters slaughter'd heaps around. 2 And can these mouldering corpses live? And can these perish'd bones revive? That, mighty God, to thee is known; That wondrous work is all thy own. 3 Thy ministers are sent in vain To prophesy upon the slain; In vain they call, in vain they cry, Till thine almighty aid is nigh. 4 But if thy Spirit deign to breathe, Life spreads thro' all the realms of death: Dry bones obey thy powerful voice; They move, they waken, they rejoice: 5 So when thy trumpet's awful sound Shall shake the heavens and rend the ground, Dead saints shall from their tombs arise, And spring to life beyond the skies. Scripture: Ezekiel 37:3

Come, Saviour Jesus, from above!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 135 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Saviour Jesus, from above! Assist me with thy heav'nly grace; Empty my heart of earthly love, And for thyself prepare the place. 2 O let thy sacred presence fill, And set my longing spirit free! Which pants to have not other will, But night and day to feast on thee. 3 While in this region here below, No other good will I pursue: I'll bid this world of noise and show, With all its glitt'ring snares adieu. 4 That path with humble speed I'll seek, In which my Saviour's footsteps shine; Now will I hear, nor will I speak, Of any other love but thine. 5 Henceforth may no profane delight Divide this consecrated soul: Possess it thou who hast the right, As Lord and master of the whole. 6 Nothing on earth do I desire, But thy pure love within my breast; This only this, will I require, And freely give up all the rest.
