O God, Regard My Humble Plea

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, regard my humble plea; I cannot be so far from Thee But Thou wilt hear my cry; When I by trouble am distressed, Then lead me on the rock to rest That higher is than I. 2 In Thee my soul hath shelter found, And Thou hast been from foes around The tower to which I flee. Within Thy house will I abide; My refuge sure, whate'er betide, Thy sheltering wings shall be. 3 For Thou, O God, my vows hast heard, On me the heritage conferred Of those that fear Thy Name; A blest anointing Thou dost give, And Thou wilt make me ever live Thy praises to proclaim. 4 Before Thy face shall I abide; O God, Thy truth and grace provide To guard me in the way; So I will make Thy praises known, And, humbly blending at Thy throne, My vows will daily pay.

Ye Righteous, in the Lord Rejoice

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice; 'Tis comely that with joyful voice God's saints His Name should praise. With harp and hymn of gladness sing, Your gift of sweetest music bring, To Him a new song raise. 2 For upright is Jehovah's word, And all the doings of the Lord In justice have their birth. In judgment and in deeds of right The Lord forever takes delight, With goodness fills the earth. 3 Jehovah speaks, the heavens appear; He breathes, and, lo, each shining sphere In splendor stands arrayed. He rolls the waters heap on heap, He stores away the mighty deep In garners for it made. 4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear, Let all that dwell both far and near In awe before Him stand; For lo, He spake and it was done, And all, with sovereign power begun, Stood fast at His command. 5 He makes the nations’ counsels vain, The plans the peoples would maintain Are thwarted by His hand. Jehovah’s counsel stands secure, His purposes of heart endure, Forevermore they stand. 6 O truly is the nation blest Whose God, before the world confessed, Jehovah is alone; And blest the people is whom He Has made His heritage to be, And chosen for His own.

Fret Not Thyself

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Fret not thyself, nor envious be Lyrics: 1. Fret not thyself, nor envious be, When wicked workers thou shalt see, Who prosper in their way; For like the grass they perish soon, And, like the herb cut down at noon, They wither in a day. 2. Trust in the Lord and still do well, Within the land securely dwell, Feed on His faithfulness; Delight thee also in the Lord, And to thy heart He will accord The good it would possess. 3. Yea, to the Lord thy way is known; Confide in Him who on the throne Abides in power divine; Thy righteousness He shall display; Resplendent as the light of day, It shall unclouded shine. 4. Rest in the Lord and be thou still, With patience wait His holy will, Enduring to the end. Fret not though sinners’ gains increase; Forsake thy wrath, from anger cease; It will to evil tend. 5. The evil-doer soon shall die, But those that on the Lord rely Shall all the land obtain. A little while and thou shalt see That wicked man cut off shall be, They shall be sought in vain. 6. Yea, thou shalt soon consider well The place where they were wont to dwell, And it shall not be found; But saints shall all the land possess, And find delight and happiness Where fruits of peace abound. 7. The vile may plot against the just Who in the Lord Jehovah trust, But God will scorn them all; The Lord their coming day shall see, When broken all their power shall be, And ruin on them fall.

How Good and Pleasant Is the Sight

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How good and pleasant is the sight when brethren make it their delight to dwell in blest accord; such love is like anointing oil that consecrates for holy toil the servants of the Lord. 2 Such love in peace and joy distills as o’er the slopes of Hermon’s hills refreshing dew descends; the Lord commands his blessing there, and they that walk in love shall share in life that never ends. 3 How good and pleasant is the sight when brethren make it their delight to dwell in blest accord; the Lord commands his blessing there, and they that walk in love shall share in life that never ends.

The Bridegroom Coming At Midnight

Author: William C. Dix Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Dark fall the hours this winter-tide Lyrics: 1 Dark fall the hours this winter-tide, Strange silence reigns on every side, And day seems wrapped in gloom, Save few short hours, which, all too brief, Light up bare tree and fallen leaf, Then fade in hapless doom. 2 Now let each lamp be burning bright, Lest, unaware, the sudden night Enshroud us in the dark, And we in vain, through snow and cold, With wavering feet, seek out the fold, And Love’s all sheltering ark. 3 O silent hours of wintry days, From summer’s joy and golden rays, From autumn’s harvest song, We turn to you, for ye reveal The waiting bride, and make us feel, The Bridegroom comes ere long.

How Vain, Great God

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: How vain, great God, and worse than vain Lyrics: 1 How vain, great God, and worse than vain, How sinful our pretended pain In this our evil day! Unless we to our Smiter turn, The cause of all our evils mourn, And cast our sins away. 2 ’Gainst vice we partially declaim, With undiscerning censure blame Our nation’s wickedness: But O! The sin that loudest cries For all the vengeance of the skies, We never once confess. 3 O might we from our hearts repent Of scorning Him Thy pity sent To heal our sin and grief! Assist us through Thy Spirit’s power, To own, and feelingly deplore Our damning unbelief. 4 Convince the wretches who deny Their Lord, that stooped for them to die, Who triumph in His pain, Who trample on His precious blood, And hate, and scoff the dying God, And crucify again. 5 Confound the misbelieving pride Of those that impiously divide Thy dearest Son and Thee, Who will not Him Thine equal own, But madly threaten to dethrone The filial Deity. 6 And O! Almighty Son of God, Into the blind self righteous crowd Thy sharpest arrows dart; The men who infidels condemn, Nor ever knew themselves the same, Mere infidels in heart. 7 A formal self deceiving race, Who mock the counsel of Thy grace, The sense of sins forgiven, The power of godliness explode, The witness, and the peace of God, And faith that leads to Heaven. 8 Forgive us, Lord, for such we were, And all our guilty brethren spare, Our unbelief reprove, Give us that root of sins to own, And make our wounded spirits groan Beneath their want of love. 9 Let all the faithless nation cry, Redeem us, Savior, or we die, A second death to feel: O Jesus, Thine only name and blood Can save us from the wrath of God, Can ransom us from hell. 10 On Thee our dying souls we cast, Our dying souls receive at last, And in Thy arms embrace, To triumph in Thy pardoning love, And sing with all the saved above Thine everlasting praise.

Thus Hath The Son Of Jesse Said

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Thus hath the Son of Jesse said, When Israel’s God had raised his head To high imperial sway: Struck with his last poetic fire, Then Zion’s psalmist tuned his lyre To this harmonious lay. 2 Thus dictates Israel’s sacred Rock: Thus hath the God of Jacob spoke By my responsive tongue: Behold the just one over men Commencing his religious reign! Great subject of my song. 3 So gently shines with genial ray Th’unclouded lamp of rising day, And cheers the tender flowers, When midnight’s soft diffusive rain Hath blessed the gardens and the plain With kind refreshing showers. 4 Shall not my house this honor boast? My soul th’eternal covenant trust, Well ordered still and sure? There all my hopes and wishes meet; In death I call its blessings sweet, And feel its bond secure. 5 The sons of Belial shall not spring, Who spurn at Heav’n’s appointed king, And scorn his high command: Tho’ wide the briars infest the ground, And all the sharpest thorns around Defy a tender hand. 6 A dreadful warrior shall appear With iron arms, and massy spear, And tear them from their place: Touched with the lightning of his ire, At once they kindle into fire, And vanish in the blaze.

Jesus Of Nazareth, Look Down

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jesus of Nazareth, look down On those Thou call’st Thy flesh and bone, Thy suffering members here; Arise, in their defense arise, And now, in all the heathens’ eyes, Be their protector near. [originally, "On Israel’s part appear."] 2 Thy weakest confessors defend, And let them on Thyself depend, For help in their distress: Support, confirm the feeble mind, And keep them all on Thee reclined, And keep in perfect peace. 3 Let none forsake the fold and fly, Let none thro’ fear their Lord deny, But stand the fiery hour; The greatness of Thy mercy prove, The truth of Thy redeeming love, And all sufficient power. 4 Let none unwarily give place To Satan, with his angel face, And yield their souls to sell; To sell their conscience, and their God, Or weary leave the narrow road, And go for ease—to hell. 5 Still may they on the world look down, Superior to its smile and frown, Its threats and promises; The tempter tread beneath their feet, And Thee, where Satan keeps his seat, In life, and death confess. 6 O, Savior, now their fears remove, The sense of Thy redeeming love Abundantly impart, To all whose sacred love we feel; The prayer of faith this moment seal On every panting heart.
