Great God, a Blessing from Your Throne

Author: Conrad H. L. Schuette Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Great God, a blessing from Your throne Grant us who lay this cornerstone, To build a church in which Your Word Is purely taught and gladly heard. 2. The work is Yours and not our own; Oh, come, and make Your presence known; Our prayers accept, our off’ring bless, Our labors crown with due success. 3. We are the people of Your choice, And while we in this grace rejoice, Our prayer is this, our constant care, That others too our bliss may share. 4. Lord, here erect a blessèd home Where Christ will ever bid us come, From Him receiving grace for grace Till we behold You face to face.

The King of Saints, How Fair His Face

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 86 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The King of saints, how fair His face; Adorned with majesty and grace! He comes with blessings from above, And wins the nations to His love. 2. At His right hand our eyes behold The queen arrayed in purest gold; The world admires her heav’nly dress, Her robe of joy and righteousness. 3. He forms her beauties like His own; He calls and seats her near His throne; Fair stranger, let thine heart forget The idols of thy native state. 4. So shall the King the more rejoice In Thee, the favorite of His choice; Let Him be loved and yet adored, For He’s thy Maker and thy Lord. 5. O happy hour, when thou shalt rise To His fair palace in the skies, And all thy sons (a numerous train) Each like a prince in glory reign! 6. Let endless honors crown His head; Let every age His praises spread; While we with cheerful songs approve The condescensions of His love.

My Refuge Is the God of Love

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 60 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My refuge is the God of love; Why do my foes insult and cry, Fly like a timorous, trembling dove, To distant woods or mountains fly? 2. If government be all destroyed, That firm foundation of our peace, And violence make justice void, Where shall the righteous seek redress? 3. The Lord in Heav’n has fixed His throne, His eye surveys the world below: To Him all mortal things are known, His eyelids search our spirits through. 4. If He afflicts His saints so far, To prove their love and try their grace, What may the bold transgressors fear? His very soul abhors their ways. 5. On impious wretches He shall rain Tempests of brimstone, fire and death; Such as He kindled on the plain Of Sodom, with His angry breath. 6. The righteous Lord loves righteous souls, Whose thoughts and actions are sincere; And with a gracious eye beholds The men that His own image bear.

O Righteous God, Thou Judge Supreme

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O righteous God, Thou judge supreme, We tremble at Thy dreadful name, And all our crying guilt we own, In dust and tears before Thy throne. 2 So manifold our crimes have been, Such crimson tincture dyes our sin, That, could we all its horrors know, Our streaming eyes with blood might flow. 3 Britain, the land Thine arm hath saved, That arm most impiously hath braved; Britain, the isle its God hath loved, A rebel to that love hath proved. 4 Estranged from reverential awe, We trample on Thy sacred law; And though such wonders grace hath done, Anew we crucify Thy Son. 5 Justly might this polluted land Prove all the vengeance of Thy hand; And, bathed in Heaven Thy sword might come To drink our blood, and seal our doom. 6 Yet hast Thou not a remnant here, Whose souls are filled with pious fear? O bring Thy wonted mercy nigh, While prostrate at Thy feet they lie. 7 Behold their tears, attend their moan, Nor turn away their secret groan; With these we join in humble prayer: Our nation shield, our country spare. 8 But if the sentence be decreed, And our dear native land must bleed, By Thy sure mark may we be known, And save in life or death Thy own.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 103 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O wondrous type! O vision fair Of glory that the Church shall share, Which Christ upon the mountain shows, Where brighter than the sun He glows! 2 From age to age the tale declare, How with the three disciples there, Where Moses and Elijah meet, The Lord holds converse high and sweet. 3 With shining face and bright array, Christ deigns to manifest to-day What glory shall be theirs above Who joy in God with perfect love. 4 And faithful hearts are raised on high By this great vision's mystery, For which in joyful strains we raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise. 5 O Father, with the eternal Son And Holy Spirit, ever One, Vouchsafe to bring us by Thy grace To see Thy glory face to face. Amen.

Lob Sei Dem Allmächtigen Gott

Author: Michael Weisse Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lob sei dem allmächtigen Gott, Der unser sich erbarmet hat, Gesandt sein’n allerliebsten Sohn Aus ihm gebor’n im höchsten Thron. 2 Auf daß er unser Heiland würd, Uns freiet von der Sündenbürd, Und durch sein Gnade und Wahrheit, Führet zur ewigen Klarheit. 3 O große Gnad und Gütigkeit! O tiefe Lieb und Mildigkeit! Gott thut ein Werk, das ihm kein Mann, Auch kein Engel verdanken kann. 4 Gott nimmt an sich unsre Natur, Der Schöpfer aller Kreatur; Er veracht’t nicht ein armes Weib, Mensch zu werden in ihrem Leib. 5 Des Vaters Wort von Ewigkeit Wird Fleisch in aller Reinigkeit; Das A und O, Anfang und End, Giebt sich für uns in groß Elend. 6 Was ist der Mensch, was ist sein Thun, Daß Gott für ihn giebt seinen Sohn! Was darf unser das höchste Gut, Daß er solch’s unserthalben thut? 7 O weh dem Volk! das dich veracht’t, Der Gnad sich nicht theilhastig macht, Nicht hören will des Sohnes Stimm! Denn auf ihm bleibet Gottes Grimm. 8 O Mensch! wie? daß du nicht verstehst Und dem König entgegen gehst, Der dir so ganz demüthig kommt Und sich dein so treulich annimmt. 9 Ei, nimm ihn heut mit Freuden an, Bereit ihm deines Herzens Bahn, Auf daß er komm in dein Gemüth, Und du genießest seiner Güt. 10 Unterwirf ihm deine Vernunft In dieser gnadenreichen Zukunft, Untergieb seiner Heiligkeit Die Werk deiner Gerechtigkeit. 11 Wo du dies thust, so ist er dein, Bewahrt dich für der Höllenpein; Wo nicht, so sieh dich ehen für, Denn er schleußt dir des Himmels Thür. 12 Sein erste Zukunft in die Welt Ist in sanftmüthiger Gestalt, Die ander wird erschrecklich sein, Den Gottlosen zu großer Pein. 13 Die aber jetzt in Christo stehn, Werden alsdenn zur Freud eingehn, Und besitzen der Engel Chor, Daß sie kein Uebel mehr berühr. 14 Dem Vater in dem höchsten Thron, Sammt seinem eingebornen Sohn, Dem heilgen Geist gleicher Weis, In Ewigkeit sei Dank und Preis.

Have Mercy, Lord, Thy Wrath Remove

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Have mercy, Lord, Thy wrath remove, Nor let Thy judgments weigh me down; I cannot live without Thy love, I cannot stand beneath Thy frown. 2 Wilt Thou not once Thy face display, And dart a ray of heavenly light? Still must I urge my cheerless way, And mourn throughout my long-lived night? 3 Lo! In my prayer I ever mourn, Vexed with the sad remains of sin, Broken, and bruised, and racked, and torn, How shall I bear this hell within? 4 This unbelief, these cruel fears, Distracting doubts, and torturing pain, While Thou art silent at my tears, Thou see’st them ever flow in vain. 5 And must I yield to black despair? In vain on Thee for mercy call, Tempted above what I can bear! And wilt Thou suffer me to fall? 6 Never again disclose Thy face, Or show me the atoning blood? Have I exhausted all Thy grace? Hath God forgotten to be good? 7 Forever is Thy mercy gone, Thy truth, and faithfulness, and love? Doth angry justice rule alone? Have I no advocate above? 8 Then pour Thy vengeance on my head, And quench the smoking flax in me, Break (if Thou canst) a bruisèd reed, And cast me out who come to Thee. 9 Jesu, I come my doom to meet, A sinner whom Thou wilt not spare: But I will perish at Thy feet, The first that ever perished there!
