Long have I sat beneath the sound
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 162 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 77 Lyrics:
Long have I sat beneath the sound
Of thy salvation, Lord;
But still how weak my faith is found,
And knowledge of thy word!
Oft I frequent thy holy place,
And hear almost in vain;
How small a portion of thy grace
My memory can retain!
[My dear Almighty, and my God,
How little art thou known
By all the judgments of thy rod,
And blessings of thy throne!]
How cold and feeble is my love!
How negligent my fear!
How low my hope of joys above!
How few affections there!
Great God! thy sovereign power impart
To give thy word success;
Write thy salvation in my heart,
And make me learn thy grace.
[Show my forgetful feet the way
That leads to joys on high;
There knowledge grows without decay,
And love shall never die.]

such guilty rebel souls to spare;
this is thy grand prerogative,
and none shall in the honour share: [Refrain]

we take the pardon of our God,
pardon for sins of deepest dye,
a pardon sealed with Jesus' blood: [Refrain]

this God-like miracle of grace,
teach mortal tongues, like those above,
to raise this song of lofty praise: [Refrain] Topics: Proper 10 Year B; Third Sunday Before Advent Year C Used With Tune: VATER UNSER

God Leads Us Along
Author: G. A. Young Appears in 95 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 77:6 First Line: In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet Refrain First Line: Some thro' the waters Lyrics: 1 In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,
God leads His dear children along;
Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet,
God leads His dear children along.
Chorus:
Some thro' the waters, some through the flood,
Some thro' the fire, but all through the blood;
Some thro' great sorrow, but God gives a song,
In the night season and all the day long.
2 Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,
God leads His dear children along;
Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,
God leads His dear children along. (Chorus)
3 Tho' sorrows befall us and Satan oppose,
God leads His dear children along;
Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,
God leads His dear children along. (Chorus)
4 Away from the mire and away from the clay,
God leads His dear children along;
Away up in glory, eternity’s day,
God leads His dear children along. (Chorus)

God is a name my soul adores
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 82 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 77:19 Lyrics: 1 God is a name my soul adores,
the almighty Three, the eternal One;
nature and grace with all their powers
confess the infinite unknown.
2 Thy voice produced the sea and spheres,
bade the waves roar, the planets shine;
but nothing like thyself appears
through all these spacious works of thine.
3 Still restless nature dies and grows;
from change to change the creatures run:
thy being no succession knows,
and all thy vast designs are one.
4 A glance of thine runs through the globe.
rules the bright worlds and moves their frame;
of light thou form'st thy dazzling robe.
thy ministers are living flame.
5 How shall polluted mortals dare
to sing thy glory or thy grace?
Beneath thy feet we lie afar,
and see but shadows of thy face.
6 Who can behold the blazing light?
Who can approach consuming flame?
None but thy wisdom knows thy might,
none but thy word can speak thy name. Topics: Creation Used With Tune: BRESLAU

whose voice created, and whose wisdom guides,
on darkened souls in pure effulgence shine,
and cheer the clouded mind with light divine.
2 'Tis thine alone to calm the pious breast
with silent confidence and holy rest.
From thee, great God, we spring, to thee we tend --
path, motive, guide, original, and end.

How shall I sing that majesty
Author: John Mason, 1646-1694 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 40 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 77:19 Lyrics: 1 How shall I sing that majesty
which angels do admire?
Let dust in dust and silence lie;
sing, sing, ye heavenly choir.
Thousands of thousands stand around
thy throne, O God most high;
ten thousand times ten thousand sound
thy praise; but who am I?
2 Thy brightness unto them appears,
whilst I thy footsteps trace;
a sound of God comes to my ears,
but they behold thy face:
I shall, I fear, be dark and cold,
with all my fire and light;
yet when thou dost accept their gold,
Lord, treasure up my mite.
3 Enlighten with faith's light my heart,
inflame it with love's fire;
then shall I sing and bear a part
with that celestial choir.
They sing, because thou art their sun;
Lord, send a beam on me;
for where heaven is but once begun
there alleluias be.
4 How great a being, Lord, is thine,
which doth all beings keep!
Thy knowledge is the only line
to sound so vast a deep:
thou art a sea without a shore,
a sun without a sphere;
thy time is now and evermore,
thy place is everywhere. Topics: St. Michael and All Angels Used With Tune: COE FEN

Why should this earth delight us so?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 77 Lyrics:
Why should this earth delight us so?
Why should we fix our eyes
On these low grounds where sorrows grow,
And every pleasure dies ?
While time his sharpest teeth prepares
Our comforts to devour,
There is a land above the stars,
And joys above his power.
Nature shall be dissolved and die,
The sun must end his race,
The earth and sea for ever fly
Before my Savior's face.
When will that glorious morning rise?
When the last trumpet sound,
And call the nations to the skies,
From underneath the ground?
