Except the Lord Conduct the Plan
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Except the Lord conduct the plan,
The best concerted schemes are vain,
And never can succeed;
We spend our wretched strength for naught;
But if our works in Thee be wrought,
They shall be blest indeed.
2 Lord, if Thou didst Thyself inspire
Our souls with this intense desire
Thy goodness to proclaim;
Thy glory if we now intend,
O let our deeds begin and end
Complete in Jesus' name.
3 Now, Jesus, now Thy love impart,
To govern each devoted heart,
And fit us for Thy will;
Deep founded in the truth of grace,
Build up Thy rising Church, and place
The city on the hill.
4 O let our love and faith abound;
O let our lives, to all around
With purest luster shine;
That all around our works may see,
And give the glory, Lord, to Thee,
The heavenly light divine. Topics: Lay and Ordained Ministry Used With Tune: MERIBAH

O People Blest, Whose Sons in Youth
Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O people blest, whose sons in youth,
in sturdy strength and noble truth,
like plants in vigor spring;
whose daughters fair, a queenly race,
are like the cornerstones that grace
the palace of a king,
the palace of a king.
2 O people blest, when flock and field
their rich, abundant increase yield,
and blessings multiply;
when plenty all thy children share,
and no invading foe is there,
and no distressful cry,
and no distressful cry.
3 O happy people, favored land,
to whom the Lord with lib'ral hand
has thus his goodness shown;
yea, surely is that people blest
by whom Jehovah is confessed
to be their God alone,
to be their God alone.

How Precious, Lord, Thy Sacred Word
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How precious, Lord, Thy sacred Word,
What light and joy those leaves afford
To souls in deep distress!
Thy precepts guide our doubtful way,
Thy fear forbids our feet to stray,
Thy promise leads to rest.
2. Thy threat’nings wake our slum’bring eyes,
And warn us where our danger lies;
But ’tis Thy Gospel, Lord,
That makes the guilty conscience clean,
Converts the soul, and conquers sin,
And gives a free reward. Used With Tune: HIGHTON Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719 (originally, "I Love the Volumes of Thy Word"); Appeared in altered form in Carmina Sacra, (Boston, Massachusetts: J. H. Wilkins & R. B. Carter, 1844), p. 84

Be It According to Thy Word
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Be it according to Thy word,
Merciful unto all, O Lord.
Be merciful to me:
Avert the wrath I deprecate,
Nor crush me with Thy judgments weight,
Who would return to Thee,
Who would return to Thee.
2 Thy wrath shall not forever last,
If pained at my pollutions past,
I groan to be made clean:
And lo, I now with grief confess
My inward parts are wickedness.
And all my life is sin,
And all my life is sin.
3 I have mine idols multiplied,
Before the shrine of self and pride
With vile devotion fell;
Followed where'er the tempter led,
And by each beastly, devilish deed
Debased my soul to hell,
Debased my soul to hell.
4 My heart was hardened from Thy fear,
Thy warning voice I would not hear.
But cast Thy words behind:
Yet for my Saviour's sake forgive;
And in Thy mercy's arms receive
Our whole apostate kind,
Our whole apostate kind.
AMEN.

O God, Regard My Humble Plea
Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, regard my humble plea;
I cannot be so far from Thee
But Thou wilt hear my cry;
When I by trouble am distressed,
Then lead me on the rock to rest
That higher is than I.
2 In Thee my soul hath shelter found,
And Thou hast been from foes around
The tower to which I flee.
Within Thy house will I abide;
My refuge sure, whate'er betide,
Thy sheltering wings shall be.
3 For Thou, O God, my vows hast heard,
On me the heritage conferred
Of those that fear Thy Name;
A blest anointing Thou dost give,
And Thou wilt make me ever live
Thy praises to proclaim.
4 Before Thy face shall I abide;
O God, Thy truth and grace provide
To guard me in the way;
So I will make Thy praises known,
And, humbly blending at Thy throne,
My vows will daily pay. Topics: Nearness to God; God of Christ our Refuge; Vows Scripture: Psalm 61 Used With Tune: MERIBAH
