Duke Street

Author: John Needham Appears in 195 hymnals First Line: Awake, my tongue, thy tribute bring Lyrics: 1 Awake, my tongue, thy tribute bring, To Him who gave thee pow'r to sing; Praise Him who is all praise above, The source of wisdom and of love. 2 How vast His knowledge! how profound! A deep where all our thoughts are drowned; The stars He numbers and their names, He gives to all those heav'nly flames. 3 Thro' each bright world above, behold, Ten thousand thousand charms unfold, Earth, air, and mighty seas combine To spead His wisdom all divine. 4 But in redemption, O what grace! Its wonders, O what thought can trace, Here wisdom shines forever bright; Praise Him, my soul, with sweet delight. Topics: Praise Used With Tune: [Awake, my tongue, thy tribute bring]

Depth of Mercy!--Can There Be

Author: Rev. Charles Wesley Appears in 813 hymnals First Line: Depth of mercy! can there be Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Can my God his wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare? 2 I have long withstood his grace; Long provoked him to his face: Would you hearken to his calls; Grieved him by a thousand falls. 3 Kindled his relentings are; Me he now delights to spare; Cries, How shall I give thee up? Lets the lifted thunder drop. 4 There for me the Saviour stands; Shows his wounds and spreads his hands! God is love! I know, I feel: Jesus weeps, and loves me still.

Uxbridge

Author: Harriet Auber Appears in 98 hymnals First Line: Ere mountains reared their forms sublime Lyrics: 1 Ere mountains reared their forms sublime, Or heav'n and earth in order stood; Before the birth of ancient time, From everlasting, thou art God. 2 A thousand ages in their flight, With thee are as a fleeting day; Past, present, future to thy sight At once their various scenes display. 3 But our brief life's a shadowy dream, A passing tho't, that soon is o'er, That fades with morning's earliest beam, And fills the musing mind no more. 4 To us, O Lord, the wisdom give Each passing moment so to spend That we at length with thee may live, Where life and bliss shall never end.
