Thou Grace Divine, Encircling All
Author: Eliza Scudder Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6568 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Thou grace divine, encircling all,
A soundless, shoreless sea!
Wherein at last our souls must fall
O love of God most free!
2. And though we turn us from thy face,
And wander wide and long,
Thou hold’st us still in Thine embrace,
O love of God most strong!
3. The saddened heart, the restless soul,
The toil worn frame and mind,
Alike confess thy sweet control,
O love of God most kind!
4. And filled and quickened by Thy breath,
Our souls are strong and free,
To rise o’er sin and fear and death,
O love of God, to Thee! Languages: English Tune Title: ABIDING GRACE
Thou Grace Divine, Encircling All
Father, We Wait To Feel Thy Grace
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9995 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father, we wait to feel Thy grace,
To see Thy glories shine;
The Lord will His own table bless,
And make the feast divine.
2 We touch, we taste the heav’nly bread,
We drink the sacred cup;
With outward forms our sense is fed,
Our souls rejoice in hope.
3 We shall appear before the throne
Of our forgiving God,
Dressed in the garments of His Son,
And sprinkled with His blood.
4 We shall be strong to run the race,
And climb the upper sky;
Christ will provide our souls with grace,
He bought a large supply.
5 Let us indulge a cheerful frame,
For joy becomes a feast;
We love the memory of His name
More than the wine we taste. Languages: English Tune Title: ABIDING GRACE

How Oft Doth Beauty Lead To Sin
Author: Susanna Harrison Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8692 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How oft doth beauty lead to sin,
And tempt the heart to stray;
It charms awhile, then hides again,
And soon it fades away!
2 Not all the art, and pains, and care
Of man can make it sure;
Nor can the fairest of the fair
The transient bliss secure.
3 Sickness and pain may soon disgrace
The most admirèd charms:
Soon must they sleep in death’s embrace,
And lose their lovely forms.
4 How vain is beauty, then, my Muse!
Unworthy of thy lays:
Turn, and a nobler subject choose,
Let virtue have thy praise.
5 How wise is she whose constant care
Pursues the heav’nly road:
She shall the Eternal’s favor share,
And every real good.
6 She ever shuns the snares of vice
How circumspect her ways!
Wise in simplicity she is;
Unsought her general praise.
7 If she is called to mingle souls,
How cautious is her choice;
No vain pretense her love controls,
She scorns the flatterer’s voice.
8 United, see, illustrious shines
The tender, prudent wife;
Humility her soul refines,
Grace governs all her life.
9 What undissembled love she bears
To him who has her hand:
How does she soften all his cares,
And all his woes attend!
10 Is she a friend? How kind and true!
Her charity, how pure!
Her friendship is not like the dew
That passes in an hour.
11 She shall be praised when beauty fails,
And years and age increase:
She shall be blest while grace prevails,
And end her days in peace. Languages: English Tune Title: ABIDING GRACE
How Oft Doth Beauty Lead To Sin
Come, Humble Sinner
Author: Edmund Jones Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #856 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Come, humble sinner, in whose breast Lyrics: 1. Come, humble sinner, in whose breast,
A thousand thoughts revolve,
Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,
And make this last resolve.
2. I’ll go to Jesus, though my sin
Like mountains round me close;
I know His courts, I’ll enter in,
Whatever may oppose.
3. Prostrate I’ll lie before His throne,
And there my guilt confess,
I’ll tell Him, I’m a wretch undone,
Without His sovereign grace.
4. I’ll to the gracious King approach,
Whose scepter pardon gives;
Perhaps he command my touch,
And then the suppliant lives.
5. Perhaps He will admit my plea,
Perhaps will hear my prayer;
But, if I perish, I will pray,
And perish only there.
6. I can but perish if I go;
I am resolved to try;
But if I stay away, I know
I must forever die.
7. But, if I die with mercy sought,
When I the King have tried,
This were to die (delightful thought!)
As sinner never died. Languages: English Tune Title: ABIDING GRACE
Come, Humble Sinner
On Man, in His Own Image Made
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5243 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. On man, in His own image made,
How much did God bestow?
The whole creation homage paid,
And owned him lord, below!
2. He dwelt in Eden’s garden, stored
With sweets for every sense;
And there with his descending Lord
He walked in confidence.
3. But O! by sin how quickly changed!
His honor forfeited,
His heart, from God and truth, estranged,
His conscience filled with dread!
4. Now from his maker’s voice he flees,
Which was before his joy:
And thinks to hide, amidst the trees,
From an all seeing eye.
5. Compelled to answer to his name,
With stubbornness and pride
He cast, on God Himself, the blame,
Nor once for mercy cried.
6. But grace, unasked, his heart subdued
And all his guilt forgave;
By faith, the promised seed he viewed,
And felt His pow’r to save.
7. Thus we ourselves would justify,
Though we the law transgress;
Like him, unable to deny,
Unwilling to confess.
8. But when by faith the sinner sees
A pardon bought with blood;
Then he forsakes his foolish pleas,
And gladly turns to God. Languages: English Tune Title: ABIDING GRACE
On Man, in His Own Image Made
When Peter Boasted, Soon He Fell
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7648 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. When Peter boasted, soon he fell,
Yet was by grace restored;
His case should be regarded well
By all who fear the Lord.
2. A voice it has, and helping hand,
Backsliders to recall;
And cautions those who think they stand,
Lest suddenly they fall.
3. He said, Whatever others do,
With Jesus I’ll abide;
Yet soon amidst a murderous crew
His suffering Lord denied.
4. He who had been so bold before,
Now trembled like a leaf;
Not only lied, but cursed and swore,
To gain the more belief.
5. While he blasphemed he heard the cock,
And Jesus looked in love;
At once, as if by lightning struck,
His tongue forbore to move.
6. Delivered thus from Satan’s snare
He starts, as from a sleep;
His Savior’s look he could not bear,
But hasted forth to weep.
7. But sure the faithful cock had crowed
A hundred times in vain;
Had not the Lord that look bestowed,
The meaning to explain.
8. As I, like Peter, vows have made,
Yet acted Peter’s part;
So conscience, like the cock, upbraids
My base, ungrateful heart.
9. Lord Jesus, hear a sinner’s cry,
My broken peace renew;
And grant one pitying look, that I
May weep with Peter too. Languages: English Tune Title: ABIDING GRACE

Since Without Thee We Do No Good

By Faith We Find the Place Above
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #706 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. By faith we find the place above,
The Rock that rent in twain;
Beneath the shade of divine love,
And in the clefts remain.
2. Jesus, to Thy dear wounds we flee,
We sink into Thy side;
Assured that all who trust in Thee
Shall evermore abide.
3. Then let the thundering trumpet sound,
The latest lightning glare,
The mountains melt, the solid ground
Dissolve as liquid air.
4. The huge celestial bodies roll,
Amidst that general fire,
And shrivel as a parchment scroll,
And all in smoke expire!
5. Yet still the Lord, the Savior reigns,
When nature is destroyed,
And no created thing remains
Throughout the flaming void.
6. Sublime upon His azure throne,
He speaks the almighty word;
His fiat is obeyed! ’tis done;
And Paradise restored.
7. So be it! let this system end,
This ruinous earth and skies,
The new Jerusalem descend,
The new creation rise!
8. Thy power omnipotent assume,
Thy brightest majesty!
And when Thou dost in glory come,
My Lord, remember me!
9. These verses are part of a larger hymn. Here are the remaining verses, shown in Wesley’s hymnal before the ones above.
10. Woe to the men on earth who dwell,
Nor dread the Almighty’s frown,
When God doth all His wrath reveal,
And shower his judgments down!
11. Sinners, expect those heaviest showers,
To meet your God prepare;
For, lo! the seventh angel pours
His phial in the air.
12. Lo! from their seats the mountains leap,
The mountains are not found;
Transported far into the deep,
And in the ocean drowned.
13. Who then shall live, and face the throne,
And face the Judge severe?
When heaven and earth are fled and gone,
O where shall I appear?
14. Now, only now, against that hour
We may a place provide;
Beyond the grave, beyond the power
Of hell, our spirits hide.
15. Firm in the all destroying shock,
May view the final scene;
For, lo! the everlasting Rock
Is cleft to take us in. Languages: English Tune Title: ABIDING GRACE
By Faith We Find the Place Above
Father, Forgive, the Savior Said
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1465 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Father, forgive, the Savior said
They know not what they do;
His heart was moved when thus He prayed
For me, my friends, and you.
2. He saw, that as the Jews abused
And crucified His flesh,
So He, by us, would be refused,
And crucified afresh.
3. Through love of sin, we long were prone
To act as Satan bid;
But now, with grief and shame we own,
We knew not what we did.
4. We knew not the desert of sin,
Nor whom we thus defied;
Nor where our guilty souls had been,
If Jesus had not died.
5. We knew not what a law we broke,
How holy, just and pure!
Nor what a God we durst provoke,
But thought ourselves secure.
6. But Jesus all our guilt foresaw,
And shed His precious blood
To satisfy the holy law,
And make our peace with God.
7. My sin, dear Savior, made Thee bleed,
Yet didst Thou pray for me!
I knew not what I did, indeed,
When ignorant of Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: ABIDING GRACE
Father, Forgive, the Savior Said
