We are the people of Your choice, And while we in this grace rejoice, Our prayer is this, our constant care, That others too our bliss may share. 4.

Great God, How Oft Did Israel Prove

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1752 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Great God, how oft did Israel prove By turns Thine anger and Thy love! There in a glass our hearts may see How fickle and how false they be. 2. How soon the faithless Jews forgot The dreadful wonders God had wrought! Then they provoke Him to His face Nor fear His power, nor trust His grace. 3. The Lord consumed their years in pain, And made their travels long and vain; A tedious march through unknown ways Wore out their strength, and spent their days. 4. Oft when they saw their brethren slain They mourned, and sought the Lord again; Called Him the Rock of their abode, Their high Redeemer, and their God. 5. Their prayers and vows before Him rise As flattering words or solemn lies, While their rebellious tempers prove False to His covenant and His love. 6. Yet did His sovereign grace forgive The men who not deserved to live; His anger oft away He turned, Or else with gentle flame it burned. 7. He saw their flesh was weak and frail, He saw temptations still prevail; The God of Abraham loved them still, And led them to His holy hill. Languages: English Tune Title: ALLMÄCHTIGER GOTT

The King of Saints, How Fair His Face

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3543 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. The King of saints, how fair His face; Adorned with majesty and grace! He comes with blessings from above, And wins the nations to His love. 2. At His right hand our eyes behold The queen arrayed in purest gold; The world admires her heav’nly dress, Her robe of joy and righteousness. 3. He forms her beauties like His own; He calls and seats her near His throne; Fair stranger, let thine heart forget The idols of thy native state. 4. So shall the King the more rejoice In Thee, the favorite of His choice; Let Him be loved and yet adored, For He’s thy Maker and thy Lord. 5. O happy hour, when thou shalt rise To His fair palace in the skies, And all thy sons (a numerous train) Each like a prince in glory reign! 6. Let endless honors crown His head; Let every age His praises spread; While we with cheerful songs approve The condescensions of His love. Languages: English Tune Title: ALLMÄCHTIGER GOTT

My Refuge Is the God of Love

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4449 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. My refuge is the God of love; Why do my foes insult and cry, Fly like a timorous, trembling dove, To distant woods or mountains fly? 2. If government be all destroyed, That firm foundation of our peace, And violence make justice void, Where shall the righteous seek redress? 3. The Lord in Heav’n has fixed His throne, His eye surveys the world below: To Him all mortal things are known, His eyelids search our spirits through. 4. If He afflicts His saints so far, To prove their love and try their grace, What may the bold transgressors fear? His very soul abhors their ways. 5. On impious wretches He shall rain Tempests of brimstone, fire and death; Such as He kindled on the plain Of Sodom, with His angry breath. 6. The righteous Lord loves righteous souls, Whose thoughts and actions are sincere; And with a gracious eye beholds The men that His own image bear. Languages: English Tune Title: ALLMÄCHTIGER GOTT

My Spirit Sinks Within Me, Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4470 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: My spirit sinks with me, Lord Lyrics: 1. My spirit sinks with me, Lord, But I will call Thy name to mind, And times of past distress record, When I have found my God was kind. 2. Huge troubles with tumultuous noise Swell like a sea, and round me spread; Thy water-spouts drown all my joys, And rising waves roll o’er my head. 3. Yet will the Lord command His love, When I address His throne by day, Nor in the night His grace remove; The night shall hear me sing and pray. 4. I’ll cast myself before His feet, And say, My God, my heav’nly rock, Why doth Thy love so long forget The soul that groans beneath Thy stroke? 5. I’ll chide my heart that sinks so low, Why should my soul indulge her grief? Hope in the Lord, and praise Him, too; He is my rest, my sure relief. 6. Thy light and truth shall guide me still, Thy Word shall my best thoughts employ, And lead me to Thine heav’nly hill, My God, my most exceeding joy. Languages: English Tune Title: ALLMÄCHTIGER GOTT

Thee Will I Love, O Lord, My Strength

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6981 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength, My rock, my tower, my high defense; Thy mighty arm shall be my trust, For I have found salvation thence. 2. Death, and the terrors of the grave, Stood round me with their dismal shade; While floods of high temptations rose, And made my sinking soul afraid. 3. I saw the opening gates of hell, With endless pains and sorrows there, Which none but they that feel can tell; While I was hurried to despair. 4. In my distress I called my God, When I could scarce believe Him mine: He bowed His ear to my complaint, Then did His grace appear divine. 5. With speed He flew to my relief, As on a cherub’s wing He rode; Awful and bright as lightning shone The face of my deliverer, God. 6. Temptations fled at His rebuke, The blast of His almighty breath; He sent salvation from on high, And drew me from the deeps of death. 7. Great were my fears, my foes were great, Much was their strength, and more their rage; But Christ, my Lord, is conqueror still, In all the wars that devils wage. 8. My song for ever shall record That terrible, that joyful hour; And give the glory to the Lord, Due to His mercy and His power. Languages: English Tune Title: ALLMÄCHTIGER GOTT

Why, Herod, Unrelenting Foe

Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie; Caelius Sedulius Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7456 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Why, Herod, unrelenting foe, Doth the Lord’s coming move thee so? He doth no earthly kingdom seek Who brings His kingdom to the meek. 2. Led by the star, the wise men find The Light that lightens all mankind; The threefold presents which they bring Declare Him God, and Man, and King. 3. In Jordan’s sacred waters stood The meek and heavenly Lamb of God, And He who did no sin, thereby Cleansed us from all iniquity! 4. And now a miracle was done: Six water pots stood there of stone; Christ spake the word with power divine, The water reddened into wine. 5. All honor unto Christ be paid, Pure offspring of the holy maid, With Father and with Holy Ghost, Till time in endless time be lost. Languages: English; German Tune Title: ALLMÄCHTIGER GOTT

O Righteous God, Thou Judge Supreme

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8369 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O righteous God, Thou judge supreme, We tremble at Thy dreadful name, And all our crying guilt we own, In dust and tears before Thy throne. 2 So manifold our crimes have been, Such crimson tincture dyes our sin, That, could we all its horrors know, Our streaming eyes with blood might flow. 3 Britain, the land Thine arm hath saved, That arm most impiously hath braved; Britain, the isle its God hath loved, A rebel to that love hath proved. 4 Estranged from reverential awe, We trample on Thy sacred law; And though such wonders grace hath done, Anew we crucify Thy Son. 5 Justly might this polluted land Prove all the vengeance of Thy hand; And, bathed in Heaven Thy sword might come To drink our blood, and seal our doom. 6 Yet hast Thou not a remnant here, Whose souls are filled with pious fear? O bring Thy wonted mercy nigh, While prostrate at Thy feet they lie. 7 Behold their tears, attend their moan, Nor turn away their secret groan; With these we join in humble prayer: Our nation shield, our country spare. 8 But if the sentence be decreed, And our dear native land must bleed, By Thy sure mark may we be known, And save in life or death Thy own.
