With What Delight, Great God, I Trace

Author: James Merrick, 1720-1769 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 With what delight, great God, I trace Each act of Thy stupendous grace! Great are the works Thy hand has wrought, And deep beyond all search Thy thought. 2 Thy acts the minds of brutish mold With unregarding eye behold, And, strangers to Thy wise design, In erring censure madly join: 3 Nor know, that, when the impious band, Fresh as the flower, conspicuous stand, Mature for death their heads they rear, And swift destruction waits them near. 4 But Thou above the starry plain In endless majesty shalt reign; And downward from th’ethereal height O’er subject worlds extend Thy might.

The day hath dawned—the day of days

Author: Nikolas Hermann; Arthur T. Russell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The day hath dawned—the day of days, Transcending all our joy and praise: This day our Lord triumphant rose; This day He captive led our foes. 2 The serpent’s craft, sin, death and hell, This day before the Conqueror fell: All suffering, sorrow, ill, the name Of Jesus risen this day o’ercame. 3 The sun, the earth, all things adore, As at His death they mourned before: All own with joy upon this day The foe’s dominion passed away. 4 Then, as is meet, we now will sing Glad hallelujahs to our king: To Thee, Lord, doth our praise pertain, Who for our joy art risen again.

When Lying on the Bed of Pain

Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 When lying on the bed of pain, And earth and all its joys are vain, How sweet, my God to know Thy pow'r Sustains me in this trying hour. 2 I would Thy holy Word obey E'en while upon my bed I lie; I call the elders here, O Lord, To do according to Thy Word. 3 And while the oil's by faith applied, o may my soul be sanctified By the blest unction from above, And then be filled with heav'nly love. 4 Then shall my cheerful, grateful tongue In rap'trous strains Thy praise prolong. My ransom'd soul adore Thy grace And swifter run the heav'nly race. 5 Or should my days be near their end, and I through death my steps must wend, Then, O my Lord, receive me home, To mingle with the blood washed throng.
