The Beggar's Prayer
Author: Medley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: A beggar poor, at mercy's door Lyrics: 1 A beggar poor, at mercy’s door,
Lies such a wretch as I;
Thou know’st my need is great indeed,
Lord, hear me when I cry.
2 With guilt beset, and deep in debt,
For pardon, Lord I pray;
O let thy love sufficient prove
To take my sins away.
3 A wicked heart is no small part
Of my distress and shame;
Let sovereign grace its crimes efface,
Through Jesus’ blessed name.
4 [My darkened mind, I daily find,
Is prone to go astray;
Lord, on it shine, with light divine,
And guide it in thy way.]
5 [My stubborn will opposes still
Thy wise and holy hand;
Thy Spirit send to make it bend
To thy supreme command.]
6 Affections wild, by sin defiled,
Oft hurry me away;
Lord, bring them home, nor let them roam
From Christ, the Living Way.
7 [A conscience hard does oft retard
My walk in holy peace;
Let it by thee made tender be,
And all its hardness cease.]
8 [My memory bad, but what is sad,
Can folly still retain;
O fill it, Lord, with thy sweet word,
And let it there remain.]
9 Before thy face I’ve told my case;
Lord, help, and mercy send;
Pity my soul, and make me whole,
And love me to the end. Topics: Prayer and Watchfulness

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
Author: Nahum Tate Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,121 hymnals First Line: While shepherds watched their flocks by night Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
2 "Fear not!" said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind;
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and humankind.
3 "To you, in David's town, this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior, who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign.
4 "The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All humbly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid."
5 Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:
6 "All glory be to God on high,
And to the Earth be peace;
Good will to all from highest heaven
Begin and never cease!"

Approach, my soul, the mercy seat
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 616 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
Approach, my soul, the mercy seat,
Where Jesus answers prayer;
There humbly fall before his feet,
For none can perish there.
2.
Thy promise is my only plea,
With this I venture nigh;
Thou callest burdened souls to thee,
And such, O Lord, am I.
3.
Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By Satan sorely pressed,
By wars without, and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.
4.
Be thou my shield and hiding place,
That, sheltered near thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
And tell him, Thou hast died.
5.
O wondrous love! to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead thy gracious name!
6.
"Poor tempest tossed soul, be still;
My promised grace receive;"
'Tis Jesus speaks—I must, I will,
I can, I do believe.

Why Did the Nations Join to Slay
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Why did the nations join to slay
The Lord’s anointed Son?
Why did they cast His laws away,
And tread His Gospel down?
2. The Lord, that sits above the skies,
Derides their rage below;
He speaks with vengeance in His eyes,
And strikes their spirits through.
3. “I call him my eternal Son,
And raise Him from the dead;
I make My holy hill His throne,
And wide His kingdom spread.
4. Ask Me, My Son, and then enjoy
The utmost heathen lands:
Thy rod of iron shall destroy
The rebel that withstands.
5. Be wise, ye rulers of the earth,
Obey th’ anointed Lord,
Adore the king of heav’nly birth,
And tremble at His Word.
6. With humble love address His throne;
For if He frown, ye die:
Those are secure, and those alone,
Who on His grace rely. Used With Tune: MANOAH Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

We seek to do Thy will.

Set up instead of Thee.

And Heav’n its happiness. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

Let wilful sinners boast and say
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let wilful sinners boast and say,
The Lord will never come:
We need not fear a future day,
Or wait a fearful doom.
2 The things wherof we have been told
That they should come to pass;
Are now just as they were of old,
And will forever last.
3 For, since the fathers fell asleep,
The world has took no change;
Should God our crimes in mem'ry keep,
That would be very strange.
4 Just so it was, before the flood,
Tho' men had long been warn'd;
They still despis'd the threats of God!
And lived unconcern'd.
5 When long they had despis'd his grace;
At last they found it true;
When suddenly a change took place,
Which prov'd their overthrow.
6 The righteous judgments of the Lord,
At his appointed times;
Proves daring sinners' just reward
For all their guilt and crimes.
