Great Source of Unexhausted Good

Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Great Source of unexhausted good, Who givest us health and friends and food And peace and calm content; Like fragrant incense, to the skies, Let songs of grateful praises rise For all Thy blessings lent. 2. Through all the dangers of the day, Thy providence attends our way, To guard us and to guide; Thy grace directs our wandering will, And warns us, lest seducing ill Allure our souls aside. 3. To Thee our lives, our all, we owe, Our peace and sweetest joys below, And brightest hopes above; Then let our lives, and all that’s ours, Our souls, and all our active powers, Be sacred to Thy love.

Whene'er I Look Into Thy Word

Author: Samuel Pearce, 1766-1799 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: Whene’er I look into Thy word Lyrics: 1 Whene’er I look into Thy word, And read about my dearest Lord, The friend of sinful man, And trace my Savior’s footsteps there; What humble love, what holy fear, Through all His conduct ran! 2 If I regard the matchless grace He showed unto the human race, How He for them became A poor sojourner here below, Oppressed by pain and sorrow too, I can’t but love His name. 3 And when I view His love to God, Those steps in which the Savior trod, I long to tread them too; I long to be inspired with zeal, To execute my Father’s will, As Jesus used to do. 4 I read, that He on duty bent, To lonely places often went, To seek His Father there: The early morn and dewy ground Can witness, they the Savior found, Engaged in fervent prayer. 5 And did my Savior use to pray, Before the light unveiled the day; And shall I backward be? No, dearest Lord, forbid the thought, Help me to fight as Jesus fought, Each foe that hinders me. 6 And you, my friends, who love His name, Who love to imitate the Lamb, And more of Jesus know; Come let us all surround His throne, And see what blessings on His own Our Savior will bestow. 7 Though fears be great, temptations strong, And though we oft have waited long, Perhaps He may design This morn to give each soul to see, And say with Paul, "He died for me," And my Redeemer’s mine. 8 Now cheerful we’ll begin to pray, That He will wash our sins away In His atoning blood; That He His blessing may bestow, And give each sinner here to know That he’s a child of God.
