To Thee this temple we devote

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thee this temple we devote, Our Father and our God; Accept it Thine, and seal it now Thy Spirit's blest abode. 2 Here may the prayer of faith ascend, The voice of praise arise; Oh, may each lowly service prove Accepted sacrifice. 3 Here may the sinner learn his guilt, And weep before his Lord; Here pardon'd, sing a Saviour's love, And here his vows record. 4 Here may affliction dry the tear, And learn to trust in God; Convinced it is a Father smites, And love that guides the rod. 5 Peace be within these sacred walls, Prosperity be here, Still smile upon Thy people, Lord, And evermore be near.

My soul, repeat His praise

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 468 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And, when His wrath is felt, His strokes are fewer than or crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His grace subdues our sins, And His forgiving love Far as the east is from the west Doth all our guilt remove. 5 The pity of the Lord, To those who fear His name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 6 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower! If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour. 7 But thy great compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

I was a wand'ring sheep

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 500 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I was a wand'ring sheep, I did not love the fold, I did not love my Shepherd's voice, I would not be controll'd: I was a wayward child, I did not love my home, I did not love my Father's voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child, He follow'd me o'er vale and hill, O'er deserts waste and wild; He found me nigh to death, Famish'd, and faint, and lone; He bound me with the bands of love, He saved the wand'ring one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is, 'Twas He that loved my soul, 'Twas He that wash'd me in His blood, 'Twas He that made me whole; 'Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wand'ring sheep, 'Twas He that brought me to the fold-- 'Tis He that still doth keep. 4 No more a wand'ring sheep, I love to be controll'd, I love my tender Shepherd's voice, I love the peaceful fold: No more a wayward child, I seek no more to roam, I love my Heavenly Father's voice-- I love, I love His home.

Jesus, my strength, my hope

Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 389 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, my strength, my hope, On Thee I cast my care, With humble confidence look up, And know Thou hear’st my prayer. Give me on Thee to wait, Till I can all things do; On Thee, almighty to create, Almighty to renew. 2 I want a godly fear, A quick discerning eye, That looks to Thee when sin is near, And sees the tempter fly: A spirit still prepared, And arm'd with jealous care, For ever standing on its guard, And watching unto prayer. 3 I want a heart to pray, To pray and never cease, Never to murmur at thy stay Or wish my suff'rings less. This blessing, above all, Always to pray, I want, Out of the deep on Thee to call, And never, never faint. 4 I rest upon Thy Word; The promise is for me: My succor and salvation, Lord, Shall surely come from Thee. But let me still abide, Nor from my hope remove, Till Thou my patient spirit guide Into Thy perfect love.
