A holy God worshiped with Reverence

Appears in 115 hymnals First Line: Exalt the Lord our God Lyrics: 1 Exalt the Lord our God, And worship at his feet; His nature is all holiness, And mercy is his seat. 2 When Israel was his church, When Aaron was his priest, When Moses cry'd, when Samuel pray'd, He gave his people rest. 3 Oft he forgave their sins; Nor would destroy their race; And oft he made his vengeance known, When they abus'd his grace. 4 Exalt the Lord our God, Whose grace is still the same; Still he's a God of holiness, And jealous for his name.

A prayer of the afflicted

Appears in 64 hymnals First Line: Hear me, O God, nor hide thy face Lyrics: 1 Hear me, O God, nor hide thy face, But answer, lest I die; Hast thou not built a throne of grace, To hear when sinners cry? 2 My days are wasted like the smoke Dissolving in the air; My strength is dry'd, my heart is broke, And sinking in despair. 3 My spirits flag like withering grass Burnt with excessive heat: In secret groans my minutes pass, And I forget to eat. 4 As on some lonely building’s top, The sparrow tells her moan, Far from the tents of joy and hope I sit and grieve alone. 5 My soul is like a wilderness Where beasts of midnight howl; Where the sad raven finds her place, And where the screaming owl. 6 Dark dismal thoughts and boding fears Dwell in my troubled breast; While sharp reproaches wound my ears, Nor give my spirit rest. 7 My cup is mingled with my woes, And tears are my repast; My daily bread, like ashes grows Unpleasant to my taste. 8 Sense can afford no real joy To souls that feel thy frown; Lord ’twas thy hand advanc'd me high Thy hand hath cast me down. 9 My looks like wither'd leaves appear; And life’s declining light Grows faint as evening-shadows are, That vanish into night. 10 But thou forever art the same, O my eternal God; Ages to come shall know thy name, And spread thy works abroad. 11 Thou wilt arise, and show thy face, Nor will my Lord delay, Beyond th’ appointed hour of grace, That long expected day. 12 He hears his saints, he knows their cry, And by mysterious ways, Redeems the prisoners, doom'd to die, And fills their tongues with praise.

Appears in 154 hymnals First Line: Let Zion, and her sons rejoice Lyrics: 1 Let Zion and her sons rejoice, Behold the promis'd hour: Her Gos hath heard her mourning voice, And comes t' exalt his power. 2 Her dust and ruins that remain, Are precious in our eyes; Those ruins shall be built again, And all that dust shall rise. 3 The Lord will raise Jerusalem, And stand in glory there; Nations shall bow before his name, And kings attend with fear. 4 He sits a sovereign on his throne, With pity in his eyes: He hears the dying prisoners' groan, And sees their sighs arise. 5 He frees the souls condemn'd to death, And when his saints complain, It shan't be said, "That praying breath "Was ever spent in vain." 6 This shall be known when we are dead, And left on long record; That ages yet unborn may read, And trust, and praise the Lord.

Appears in 50 hymnals First Line: It is the Lord our Saviour's hand Lyrics: 1 It is the Lord our Saviour's hand Weakens our strength amidst the race; Disease and death at his command Arrest us, and cut short our days. 2 Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray, Nor let our sun go down at noon; Thy years are one eternal day, And must thy children die so soon? 3 Yet in the midst of death and grief This thought our sorrow should assuage; "Our Father and our Saviour live; :Christ is the same through every age." 4 'Twas he this earth's foundation laid; Heaven is the building of his hand; This earth grows old, these heavens shall fade; And all be chang'd at his command. 5 The starry curtains of the sky, Like garments, shall be laid aside: But still thy throne stands firm on high; Thy church forever must abide. 6 Before thy face thy church shall live; And on thy throne thy children reign; This dying world shall they survive, And the dead saints be rais'd again.

God's gentle Chastisement; or, his tender Mercy to his People

Appears in 93 hymnals First Line: The Lord, how wondrous are his ways Lyrics: 1 The Lord, how wondrous are his ways! How firm his truth! how large his grace! He takes his mercy for his throne, And thence he makes his glories known. 2 Not half so high his power hath spread The starry heavens above our head, As his rich love exceeds our praise, Exceeds the highest hopes we raise. 3 Not half so far hath nature plac'd The rising morning from the west As his forgiving grace removes The daily guilt of those he loves. 4 How slow his awful wrath to rise! On swifter wings salvation flies; And if he lets his anger burn, How soon his frowns to pity turn! 5 Amidst his wrath compassion shines; His strokes are lighter than our sins: And while his rod corrects his saints, His ear indulges their complaints. 6 So fathers their young sons chastise, With gentle hand and melting eyes: The children weep beneath the smart, And move the pity of their heart. Pause 7 The mighty God, the wise and just, Knows that our frame is feeble dust; And will no heavy loads impose Beyond the strength that he bestows. 8 He knows how soon our nature dies, Blasted by every wind that flies; Like grass we spring, and die as soon, Or morning flowers that fade at noon. 9 But his eternal love is sure To all the saints, and shall endure: From age to age his truth shall reign, Nor children's children hope in vain.
