My God, how wonderful thou art!

Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 346 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful thou art! Thy majesty how bright! How beautiful thy mercy-seat, In depth of burning light! 2 How dread are thine eternal years, O everlasting Lord! By prostrate angels day and night Incessantly adored! 3 How beautiful, how beautiful, The sight of thee must be! Thine endless wisdom, boundless power, And awful purity! 4 O how I fear thee, living God! With deepest, tenderest fears; And worship thee with trembling hope And penitential tears. 5 Yet I may love thee too, O Lord! Almighty as thou art; For thou hast stooped to ask of me The love of my poor heart. Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Used With Tune: GENEVA

Nature with open volume stands

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 148 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands To spread her Maker's praise abroad, And every labor of his hands Shows something worthy of a God; 2 But in the grace that rescues man His brighter form of glory shines; Here on the cross 'tis fairest drawn In precious blood and crimson lines. 3 O, the sweet wonders of that cross, Where Christ, the Saviour, loved and died! The noblest life my spirit draws From his dear wounds and bleeding side. 4 I would forever speak his name In tones to mortal ears unknown, With angels join to praise the Lamb, And worship at his Father's throne.

Not all the nobles of the earth

Author: Samuel Stennett Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not all the nobles of the earth, Who boast the honors of their birth, So high a dignity can claim, As those who bear the Christian name. 2 To them the privilege is given To be the sons and heirs of heaven; Sons of the God who reigns on high, And heirs of joy beyond the sky. 3 He teaches their young feet the way, And early leads them to obey; Whispers instruction to their minds, And on their hearts his precepts binds. 4 Their daily wants his hands supply, Their steps he guards with watchful eye; Leads them from earth to heaven above, And crowns them with eternal love.

O day of rest and gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Appears in 821 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright; On thee, the high and lowly, Who bend before the throne, Sing, Holy, holy, holy, To the Eternal One. 2 Thou art a port protected From storms that round us rise, A garden intersected With streams of paradise; Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, We view our promised land. 3 A day of sweet reflection Thou art, a day of love; A day to raise affection From earth to things above. New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We seek the rest remaining In mansions of the blest. Topics: Worship The Sabbath Used With Tune: EWING

O for a heart to praise my God!

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1,178 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God! A heart from sin set free! A heart that's sprinkled with the blood So freely shed for me! 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My dear Redeemer's throne; Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone! 3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart, Believing, true, and clean, Which neither life nor death can part From Him that dwells within. 4 A heart in every thought renewed, And filled with love divine! Perfect, and right, and pure, and good, A copy, Lord, of thine! 5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart, Come quickly from above, Write thy new name upon my heart, Thy new, best name of love.

O God, my inmost soul convert

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 88 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, my inmost soul convert, And deeply on my thoughtful heart Eternal things impress; Cause me to feel their solemn weight, And tremble on the brink of fate. And wake to righteousness. 2 Before me place in dread array The pomp of that tremendous day When thou with clouds shalt come To judge the nations at thy bar; And tell me, Lord, shall I be there, To hear thy welcome home? 3 Be this my one great business here, With serious industry and fear Eternal bliss t'insure Thy utmost counsel to fulfill, And suffer all thy righteous will, And to the end endure. 4 Then, Father, then my soul receive, Transported from this vale, to live And reign with thee above, Where faith is sweetly lost in sight, And hope in full, supreme delight, And everlasting love.

O, how divine, how sweet the joy

Author: John Needham Appears in 124 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O, how divine, how sweet the joy, When but one sinner turns, And, with an humble, broken heart, His sins and errors mourns! 2 Pleased with the news, the saints below In songs their tongues employ; Beyond the skies the tidings go, And heaven is filled with joy. 3 Well pleased the Father sees and hears The conscious sinner's moan; Jesus receives him in his arms, And claims him as his own.

O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills

Author: J. M. Neale Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills The bounds of the eternal hills, And yet vouchsafes, in Christian lands, To dwell in temples made with hands; 2 Endue thy creatures with the grace That shall adorn thy dwelling-place; The beauty of the oak and pine, The gold and silver, make them thine. 3 Both now and ever, Lord, protect The temple of thine own elect; Be thou in us and we in thee, Through time and in eternity.

O Lord, thy heavenly grace impart

Author: Jean F. Oberlin Appears in 125 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thy heavenly grace impart, And fix my frail, inconstant heart; Henceforth my chief desire shall be To dedicate myself to thee. 2 Whate'er pursuits my time employ, One thought shall fill my soul with joy; That silent, secret thought shall be That all my thoughts are fixed on thee. 3 Thy gracious eye pervadeth space; Thy presence, Lord, fills every place; And wheresoe'er my lot may be, Still shall my spirit rest with thee. 4 Renouncing every worldly thing, And safe beneath thy spreading wing, My sweetest thoughts henceforth shall be, That all I want I find in thee.
