While o'er our guilty land, O Lord

Author: Rev. Samuel Davies Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While o’er our guilty land, O Lord, We view the terrors of Thy sword, O whither shall the helpless fly? To whom but Thee direct their cry? 2 The helpless sinner's cries and tears Are grown familiar to Thine ears; Oft has Thy mercy sent relief, When all was fear and hopeless grief. 3 See, we repent, we weep, we mourn— To our forsaken God we turn! O spare our guilty country— spare The Church which Thou hast planted there. 4 We plead Thy grace, indulgent God; We plead Thy Son’s atoning blood, We plead Thy gracious promises-- And are they unavailing pleas? 5 These pleas, presented at Thy throne, Have brought ten thousand blessings down On guilty lands in helpless woe; Let them prevail and help us, too.

Your Word Sheds Light upon My Path

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Your word sheds light upon my path; a shining light, it guides my feet. Your righteous judgments to observe, my solemn vow I now repeat. 2 In my distress I plead with you; send help according to your word. Accept my sacrifice of praise and make me know your judgments, LORD. 3 When danger brings me close to death, your law stays with me night and day. The wicked lay a snare for me, yet from your truth I will not stray. 4 Your precepts are my heritage; they make my heart and soul rejoice. To keep your statutes faithfully shall ever be my willing choice.

The Lord, How Wondrous Are His Ways

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The Lord, how wondrous are His ways! How firm His truth! How large His grace! He takes His mercy for His throne, And thence He makes His glories known. 2. Not half so high His power hath spread The starry heav’ns above our head, As His rich love exceeds our praise, Exceeds the highest hopes we raise. 3. Not half so far hath nature placed The rising morning from the west, As His forgiving grace removes The daily guilt of those He loves. 4. How slowly doth His wrath arise! On swifter wings salvation flies; And if He lets His anger burn, How soon His frowns to pity turn. 5. Amidst His wrath compassion shines; His strokes are lighter than our sins; And while His rod corrects His saints, His ear indulges their complaints. 6. So fathers their young sons chastise With gentle hand and melting eyes; The children weep beneath the smart, And move the pity of their heart. 7. The mighty God, the wise and just, Knows that our frame is feeble dust; And will no heavy loads impose Beyond the strength that He bestows. 8. He knows how soon our nature dies, Blasted by every wind that flies; Like grass we spring, and die as soon, Or morning flowers that fade at noon. 9. But His eternal love is sure To all the saints, and shall endure; From age to age His truth shall reign, Nor children’s children hope in vain.
