Why Do the Wealthy Wicked Boast?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals First Line: Why do the wealthy wicked boast Lyrics: 1. Why do the wealthy wicked boast, And grow profanely bold? The meanest portion of the just Excels the sinner’s gold. 2. The wicked borrows of his friends, But ne’er designs to pay; The saint is merciful and lends, Nor turns the poor away. 3. His alms with liberal heart he gives Amongst the sons of need; His memory to long ages lives And blessèd is his seed. 4. His lips abhor to talk profane, To slander or defraud; His ready tongue declares to men What he has learned of God. 5. The law and Gospel of the Lord Deep in his heart abide; Led by the Spirit and the Word, His feet shall never slide. 6. When sinners fall, the righteous stand, Preserved from every snare; They shall possess the promised land And dwell for ever there. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

How Bright These Glorious Spirits Shine

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 158 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats of everlasting day? 2 Lo, these are they from sufferings great who came to realms of light, and in the blood of Christ have washed those robes which shine so bright. 3 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand before the throne on high, and serve the God they love, amidst the glories of the sky. 4 His presence fills each heart with joy, tunes every mouth to sing: by day, by night, the sacred courts with glad hosannas ring. 5 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, nor sun with scorching ray: God is their sun, whose cheering beams diffuse eternal day. 6 The Lamb which dwells amidst the throne shall o'er them still preside, feed them with nourishment divine, and all their footsteps guide. 7 To pastures green he'll lead his flock where living streams appear; and God the Lord from every eye shall wipe off every tear.

Kéréseink Az Úr Előtt

Author: Andrew Kippis; Anna Piroska Williams Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Kéréseink az Úr előtt Sűrűn feltárjuk itt, De látjuk-e a sok nyomort, Félárvák könnyeit? 2 Ne várja balgán, könnyelműn Az ég áldásait, Ki látja társa nyomorát, De rá se hederít. 3 Megindul szívünk másokon, Vagy jéghideg marad? Segítségért ki könyörög, Szíve, keze mit ad? 4 A Mindenható joggal vár, Hogy utain járjunk, Mit Véle tennénk szívesen, Mással is úgy bánjunk. 5 Az Úr Jézus e földön járt, Mindenkit fogadott, Ha hittel bárki hozzá jött, Hiába az nem volt. 6 Csodát úgy tenni nem tudunk, Mint egykor Jézusunk, De példát hagyott minekünk, Szeressünk, mint Urunk. 7 De legfőbb dolgunk ez legyen: Vessük a jó magot, Tanítsuk, óvjuk, vezessük, Kit Isten ránk bízott. 8 És áldja Ő meg gazdagon, Mit másokért teszünk, Hogy dicsőítsék szent nevét, Dicsérjék Istenünk.
