And Are We Wretches Yet Alive?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And are we wretches yet alive? And do we yet rebel? ’Tis boundless, ’tis amazing love, That bears us up from hell! 2 The burden of our weighty guilt Would sink us down to flames; And threatening vengeance rolls above, To crush our feeble frames. 3 Almighty goodness cries, Forbear! And straight the thunder stays; And dare we now provoke His wrath, And weary out His grace? 4 Lord, we have long abused Thy love, Too long indulged our sin; Our aching hearts e’en bleed to see What rebels we have been. 5 No more, ye lusts, shall ye command, No more will we obey; Stretch out, O God, Thy conquering hand, And drive Thy foes away. Used With Tune: GREENWICH Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs 1707-09, Book II

Oh, It Is Hard to Work for God

Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Oh, it is hard to work for God, To rise and take His part Upon this battlefield of earth, And not sometimes lose heart! 2. He hides Himself so wondrously, As though there were no God; He is least seen when all the pow’rs Of ill are most abroad. 3. Ah, God is other than we think, His ways are far above, Far beyond reason’s height, and reached Only by childlike love. 4. Workman of God! O lose not heart, But learn what God is like, And in the darkest battlefield Thou shalt know where to strike. 5. Then learn to scorn the praise of men, And learn to lose with God; For Jesus won the world through shame, And beckons thee His road. 6. For right is right, as God is God, And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter were to sin. Used With Tune: GREENWICH Text Sources: Jesus and Mary, 1849. Several variants of these lyrics have been published; This version appeared in Hymns Ancient and Modern.
