"We've no abiding city here"
Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 182 hymnals Lyrics: 1 "We've no abiding city here,"
This may distress the worldly mind;
But should not cost a saint a tear,
Who hopes a better rest to find.
2 "We've no abiding city here,"
We seek a city out of sight:
Zion it's name,--the Lord is there,
It shines with everlasting light.
3 O sweet abode of peace and love,
Where pilgrims freed from toil are blest;
Had I the pinions of the dove,
I'd flee to thee, and be at rest.
4 But hush, my soul! nor dare repine;
The time my God appoints is best:
While here, to do His will be mine,
And His to fix my time of rest.
Amen. Topics: Heaven Rest in; Pilgrimage Used With Tune: BLACKBURN

Human Corruption
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: The God Who sits enthroned on high Lyrics: 1 The God Who sits enthroned on high
The foolish in their heart deny;
Not one does good; corrupt in tho't,
Unrighteous works their hands have wrought.
2 From heav'n the Lord with searching eye
Looked down the sons of men to try,
To see if any understood
And sought for God, the only good.
3 From righteousness they all depart,
Corrupt are all, and vile in heart;
yea, ev'ry man has evil done;
Not one does good, not even one.
4 Has knowledge with the wicked failed,
That they My people have assailed,
That they delight in works of shame,
And call not on Jehovah's Name?
5 Thy lowly servant they despise,
Because he on the Lord relies;
But they shall tremble yet in fear,
For to the righteous God is near.
6 O that from Zion His abode
Salvation were on us bestowed!
When God His exiles shall restore,
They shall in song His grace adore.

Beneath Thy Wing
God of my life, to Thee I call!
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 171 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to Thee I call!
Afflicted at Thy feet I fall;
When the great water-floods prevail,
Leave not my trembling heart to fail.
2 Friend of the friendless and the faint!
Where should I lodge my deep complaint?
Where but with Thee, whose open door
Invites the helpless and the poor!
3 Did ever mourner plead with Thee.
And Thou refuse that mourner's plea?
Does not Thy word still fixed remain,
That none shall seek Thy face in vain!
4 Poor though I am--despised, forgot,
Yet God, my God, forgets me not;
And he is safe, and must succeed,
For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.
Amen. Topics: Trials Comfort in; Trials Prayer in; Trials Refuge in; Trust In God Used With Tune: BLACKBURN

My Spirit Looks to God Alone
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 126 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My spirit looks to God alone;
My rock and refuge is His throne;
In all my fears, in all my straits,
My soul on His salvation waits.
2. Trust Him, ye saints, in all your ways,
Pour out your hearts before His face:
When helpers fail, and foes invade,
God is our all-sufficient aid.
3. False are the men of high degree,
The baser sort are vanity;
Laid in the balance, both appear
Light as a puff of empty air.
4. Make not increasing gold your trust,
Nor set your hearts on glittering dust;
Why will you grasp the fleeting smoke,
And not believe what God has spoke?
5. Once has His awful voice declared,
Once and again my ears have heard,
All power is His eternal due;
He must be feared, and trusted, too.
6. For sovereign power reigns not alone,
Grace is a partner on the throne:
Thy grace and justice, mighty Lord,
Shall well divide our last reward. Used With Tune: BLACKBURN Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
