Now Satan Comes with Dreadful Roar

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Now Satan comes with dreadful roar And threatens to destroy; He worries whom he can’t devour With a malicious joy. 2. Ye sons of God, oppose his rage, Resist, and he’ll begone; Thus did our dearest Lord engage And vanquish him alone. 3. Now he appears almost divine, Like innocence and love; But the old serpent lurks within When he assumes the dove. 4. Fly from the false deceiver’s tongue, Ye sons of Adam, fly; Our parents found the snare too strong, Nor should the children try.

Oh Thou Whose Tender Mercy Hears

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 362 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Oh Thou whose tender mercy hears Contrition’s humble sigh, Whose hand indulgent, wipes the tears From sorrow’s weeping eye. 2. See, Lord, before Thy throne of grace, A wretched wanderer mourn: Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face? Hast Thou not said, return? 3. And shall my guilty fears prevail To drive me from Thy feet? Oh, let not this dear refuge fail, This only safe retreat. 4. Absent from Thee, my Guide, my Light! Without one cheering ray, Through dangers, fears, and gloomy nights, How desolate my way! 5. O shine on this benighted heart, With beams of mercy shine! And let Thy healing voice impart A taste of joys divine.

O send thy light forth and thy truth

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O send thy light forth and thy truth; let them be guides to me, and bring me to thine holy hill, even where thy dwellings be. 2 Then will I to God's altar go, to God my chiefest joy: yea, God, my God, thy name to praise my harp I will employ. 3 Why art thou then cast down, my soul? what should discourage thee? Any why with vexing thoughts art thou disquieted in me? 4 Still trust in God; for him to praise good cause I yet shall have: he of my countenance is the health, my God that doth me save.

Hear thou my prayer, O God, hide not

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hear thou my prayer, O God, hide not from my entreating voice: 2 attend and hear me, in my plaint I mourn and make a noise; 3 for voice of enemies, and for vile men’s oppression great: on me they cast iniquity, and they in wrath me hate. 4 Sore pained within me is my heart: death’s terrors on me fall. 5 On me comes trembling, fear and dread me overwhelmed withal. 6 O that I like a dove had wings, said I, then would I flee far hence, that I might find a place where I in rest might be. 7 Lo, then far off I wander would, and in the desert stay; 8 from stormy wind and tempest I would haste to ‘scape away. 9 O Lord, on them destruction bring, do thou their tongues divide; for in the city violence and strife have I descried. 10 They day and night upon the walls do compass it around: there mischief is, and sorrow there in midst of it is found. 11 Abundant wickedness there is within its inward part; and from its streets deceitfulness and guile do not depart. 12 He was no foe that me reproached, for that I could abide; no hater that against me rose, else I from him might hide. 13 'Twas thou, a man, mine equal, guide, who mine acquaintance wast: 14 we joined sweet counsels: to God’s house amidst the throng we passed. 15 Let death them seize, and to the grave alive let them depart; for wickedness is in their house and evil in their heart. 16 I call on God; the Lord me saves. 17 I make my plaint and sigh at evening, morning, and at noon; and he regards my cry. 18 He hath my soul delivered, that it in peace might be from battle that against me was; for many were with me. 19 The Lord shall hear and them afflict (of old abideth he), even them who have no fear of God, and changes never see. 20 ’Gainst those that were at peace with him he hath put forth his hand: the covenant that he had made, by breaking he profaned. 21 More smooth than butter were his words, while in his heart was war: his speeches were more soft than oil, and yet drawn swords they are. 22 Cast thou thy burden on the Lord, and he shall thee sustain; yea, he shall cause the righteous man unmoved to remain. 23 But thou, O God, in judgment just those men shalt overthrow, and in destruction’s dungeon dark at last shalt lay them low; The bloody and deceitful men shall not live half their days: but upon thee with confidence I will depend always.
