Lamb of God! to thee I cry

Author: Richard Mant Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God! to thee I cry: By thy bitter agony, By thy pangs to us unknown, By thy spirit's parting groan, Lord, thy presence let me see, Manifest thyself to me. 2 Prince of life! to thee I cry: By thy glorious majesty, By thy triumph o'er the grave, Meek to suffer, strong to save, Lord, thy presence let me see, Manifest thyself to me. 3 Lord of glory, now on high, Hear thy needy servant's cry; With thy love my bosom fill, Prompt me to perform thy will; Then thy glory I shall see, Thou wilt bring me home to thee.

Sweet is the memory of thy grace

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 234 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the memory of thy grace, My God, my heavenly King; Let age to age thy righteousness In psalms of glory sing. 2 God reigns on high, but ne'er confines His goodness to the skies, Through the whole earth his bounty shines, And every want supplies. 3 With longing eyes thy creatures wait On thee for daily food; Thy liberal hand provides their meat, And fills their mouth with good. 4 How kind are thy compassions, Lord; How slow thine anger moves! But soon he sends his pardoning word To cheer the soul he loves. Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Used With Tune: ZERAH

O, how happy are they

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 707 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O, how happy are they Who their Saviour obey, And have laid up their treasure above! Tongue can never express The sweet, comfort and peace Of a soul in its earliest love. 2 That sweet comfort is mine, Since the favor divine I received through the blood of the Lamb; Since my heart first believed, What a joy I've received, What a heaven in Jesus' dear name! 3 'Tis a heaven below My Redeemer to know; And the angels can do nothing more Than to fall at his feet, And the story repeat, And the Lover of sinners adore. 4 Jesus all the day long Is my joy and my song; O that all to this refuge might fly! He hath loved me, indeed, He did suffer and bleed, To redeem such a rebel as I. 5 On the wings of his love, I am carried above All my sin, and temptation, and pain; O, that all would believe, And by sin never grieve, And thus cause him to suffer again.

He reigns! the Lord, the Saviour reigns

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 137 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He reigns! the Lord, the Saviour reigns! Sing to his name in lofty strains, Let all the saints in songs rejoice, And in his praise exalt their voice. 2 Deep are his counsels, and unknown, But grace and truth support his throne; Though gloomy clouds his way surround, Justice is their eternal ground. 3 In robes of judgment, lo, he comes! Shakes the wide earth, and cleaves the tombs; Before him burns devouring fire, The mountains melt, the seas retire. 4 His enemies with wild dismay Fly from the sight, and shun the day; Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high, And sing, for your redemption's nigh.

Jesus, my love, my chief delight

Author: Anon. Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my love, my chief delight, For thee I long, for thee I pray, Amid the shadows of the night, Amid the business of the day. 2 When shall I see thy smiling face, That face which I have often seen? Arise, thou Sun of Righteousness, Scatter the clouds that intervene. 3 Thou art the glorious Gift of God To sinners weary and distressed; The first of all his gifts bestowed, And certain pledge of all the rest. 4 Since I can say this gift of mine, I'll tread the world beneath my feet, No more at poverty repine, Nor envy the rich sinner's state. 5 The precious jewel I will keep, And lodge it deep within my heart; At home, abroad, awake, asleep, It never shall from thence depart.
