Oh! thou, whose tender mercy hears
Hymnal: SH1835 #290 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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, low 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 night,
How desolate my way!
5.
Oh! shine on this benighted heart,
With beams of mercy shine!
And let thy healing voice impart
A taste of joys divine.
Languages: English Tune Title: THE PENITENT'S PRAYER
Oh! thou, whose tender mercy hears
My dearest, lovely, native land
Hymnal: SH1835 #290b (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
My dearest, lovely, native land,
Where peace and pleasure grow,
Where joy, with fairest softest hand,
Wipes off the tears of woe;
Thy Sabbath's laws, and happy shores,
And name I love them well,
And looking o'er those richest stores,
How can I say farewell?
Languages: English Tune Title: MISSIONARY'S ADIEU
My dearest, lovely, native land
'Tis by the faith of joys to come
Hymnal: SH1835 #291 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
1.
'Tis by the faith of joys to come
We walk through deserts dark as night,
Till we arrive at heaven our home,
Faith is our guide, and faith our light.
2.
The want of sight she well supplies;
She makes the pearly gates appear;
Far into distant worlds she pries,
And brings eternal glories near.
3.
Cheerful we tread the desert through,
While faith inspires a heavenly ray,
Though lions roar and tempests blow
And rocks and dangers fill the way.
4.
So Abraham, by divine command,
Left his own house to walk with God;
Hid faith beheld the promised land,
And fired his zeal along the road.

'Tis by the faith of joys to come
Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear
Hymnal: SH1835 #291b (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high:
To thee will I direct my prayer,
To thee lift up mine eye:
2.
Thou art a God, before whose sight
The wicked shall not stand;
Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight,
Nor dwell at thy right hand.
3.
But to thy house will I resort,
To taste thy mercies there;
I will frequent thy holy court,
And worship in thy fear.
4.
O may thy Spirit guide my feet
In ways of righteousness;
Make every path of duty straight,
And plain before my face.
Languages: English Tune Title: WARWICK
Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Hymnal: SH1835 #292 (1854) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics:
1.
Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave, and follow thee;
Naked, poor, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my all shalt be:
Let the world neglect and leave me,
They have left my Savior, too;
Human hopes have oft deceived me;
Thou art faithful, thou art true;
2.
Perish earthly fame and treasure!
Come, disaster, scorn and pain!
In thy service, pain is pleasure;
With thy favor, loss is gain.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While thy bleeding love I see,
O 'tis not in joy to charm me,
When that love is hid from me.
Languages: English Tune Title: RIPLEY
Jesus, I my cross have taken
His hoary frost, his fleecy snow
Hymnal: SH1835 #293 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
His hoary frost, his fleecy snow,
Descend and clothe the ground,
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.
Languages: English Tune Title: WINTER
His hoary frost, his fleecy snow
When I can read my title clear to mansions in the skies
Hymnal: SH1835 #293b (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
When I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies,
I'll bid farewell to every fear,
And wipe my weeping eyes.
2.
Should earth against my soul engage,
And fiery darts be hurled,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage,
And face a frowning world.
3.
Let cares like a wild deluge come,
And storms of sorrow fall,
May I but safely reach my home,
My God, my heaven, my all:
4.
There I shall bathe my weary soul
In seas of heavenly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast.
This world is not my home,
This world is not my home,
This world's a wilderness of owe,
But heaven is my home.
Languages: English Tune Title: THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME
When I can read my title clear to mansions in the skies
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish
Hymnal: SH1835 #294 (1854) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics:
1.
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish;
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel;
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
2.
Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure,
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,
"Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure."
3.
Here see the bread of life; see waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above;
Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow but Heaven can remove.
Languages: English Tune Title: COME, YE DISCONSOLATE [1]
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish
This Life's a dream, an empty show
Hymnal: SH1835 #295 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
1.
This life's a dream, an empty show,
But the bright world to which I go
Hath joys substantial and sincere;
When shall I wake, when shall I wake and find me there.
Languages: English Tune Title: GLASGOW
This Life's a dream, an empty show
Let every creature join
Hymnal: SH1835 #296 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
Let every creature join
To praise the eternal God;
Ye heavenly hosts, the song begin,
(Repeat previous line),
And sound his name abroad.
Thou sun with golden beams,
And moon with paler rays,
297
Ye starry lights, ye twinkling flames,
Shine on your maker's praise
(Repeat previous 2 lines).
2.
He built those worlds above
And fixed their wondrous frame;
By his command they stand or move,
(Repeat previous line),
And ever speak his name.
Ye vapors, when ye rise,
Or fall in showers or snow,
Ye thunders murmuring round the skies,
His power and glory show.
(Repeat previous 2 lines).
3.
Wind, hail, and flashing fire,
Agree to praise the Lord,
When ye in dreadful storms conspire
(Repeat previous line),
To execute his word.
By all his works above
His honors be expressed;
But saints that taste his saving love
Should sing his praises best.
(Repeat previous 2 lines).
4.
Let earth and ocean know
They owe their Maker praise;
Praise him, ye watery worlds below,
(Repeat previous line),
And monsters of the seas.
From mountains near the sky
Let his high praise resound,
From humble shrubs and cedars high,
And vales and fields around.
(Repeat previous 2 lines).
5.
Ye lions of the wood,
And tamer beasts that graze,
Ye live upon his daily food,
(Repeat previous line),
And he expects your praise.
Ye birds of lofty wing,
On high his praises bear;
Or sit on flowery boughs, and sing
Your Maker's glory there.
(Repeat previous 2 lines).
6.
Ye creeping ants and worms,
His various wisdom show,
And flies, in all your shining swarms,
(Repeat previous line),
Praise him that dressed you so.
By all the earth born race
His honors be expressed:
But saints that know his heavenly grace
Should learn to praise him best.
(Repeat previous 2 lines).
7.
Monarchs of wide command,
Praise ye the eternal King;
Judges, adore that sovereign hand
(Repeat previous line),
Whence all your honors spring.
Let vigorous youth engage
To sound his praises high;
While growing babes, and withering age,
their feebler voices try.
(Repeat previous 2 lines).
8.
United zeal be shown
His wondrous fame to raise;
God is the Lord: his name alone
(Repeat previous line),
Deserves our endless praise.
Let nature join with art,
And all pronounce him blest;
But saints that dwell so near his heart
Should sing his praises best.
(Repeat previous 2 lines).
