We walk by faith, and not by sight
Author: Dean Alford Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 72 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words we hear
From Him who spake as man ne'er spake;
But we believe Him near.
2. We may not touch His hands and side,
Nor follow where He trod;
But in His promise we rejoice,
And cry, "My Lord and God!"
3. Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
And may our faith abound,
To call on Thee when Thou art near,
And seek where Thou art found:
4. That, when our life of faith is done,
In realms of clearer light
We may behold Thee as Thou art,
With full and endless sight. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Thomas; Doubt Used With Tune: [We walk by faith, and not by sight]

Whose judgments yet delay;
Who yet suspends the lifted sword,

But let us not despair;
Still open is the mercy seat
To penitence and prayer.
3. Kind Intercessor, to Thy love
This blessèd hope we owe;
O let Thy mercies plead above,
While we implore below!
4. Though justice near Thy awful throne
Attends Thy dread command,
Lord, hear Thy servants, hear Thy Son,
And save a guilty land. Used With Tune: BEDFORD Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760

Let Every Tongue Thy Goodness Speak
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 214 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Let every tongue Thy goodness speak,
Thou sovereign Lord of all;
Thy strengthening hands uphold the weak,
And raise the poor that fall.
2. When sorrow bows the spirit down,
Or virtue lies distressed,
Beneath some proud oppressor’s frown,
Thou giv’st the mourners rest.
3. The Lord supports our tottering days,
And guides our giddy youth;
Holy and just are all His ways,
And all His words are truth.
4. He knows the pains His servants feel,
He hears His children cry,
And their best wishes to fulfill,
His grace is ever nigh.
5. His mercy never shall remove
From men of heart sincere;
He saves the souls whose humble love
Is joined with holy fear.
6. His stubborn foes His sword shall slay,
And pierce their hearts with pain;
But none that serve the Lord shall say,
They sought His aid in vain.
7. My lips shall dwell upon His praise,
And spread His fame abroad;
Let all the sons of Adam rise
The honors of their God. Used With Tune: BEDFORD Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Spirit of Truth, on This Thy Day
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Spirit of truth, on this Thy day
To Thee for help we cry,
To guide us through the dreary way
Of dark mortality.
2. We ask not, Lord, Thy cloven flame,
Or tongues of various tone;
But long Thy praises to proclaim
With fervor in our own.
3. We mourn not that prophetic skill
Is found on earth no more;
Enough for us to trace Thy will
In Scripture’s sacred lore.
4. We neither have nor seek the power
Ill demons to control;
But Thou in dark temptation’s hour
Shalt chase them from the soul.
5. No heavenly harpings soothe our ear,
No mystic dreams we share;
Yet hope to feel Thy comfort near,
And bless Thee in our prayer.
6. When tongues shall cease, and power decay,
And knowledge empty prove,
Do Thou Thy trembling servants stay,
With faith, with hope, with love. Used With Tune: BEDFORD Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Written and Adapted to the Weekly Service of the Church Year (London: J. Murray, 1827)

And taste and see and live.

To cheer the fainting mind,
And thirsty souls receive supplies
And sweet refreshment find.

Spreads heav'nly peace around,
And life and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.

And still new beauties may I see
And still increasing light!

Teach me to love Thy sacred Word,
And view my Savior here.

To Our Redeemer's Glorious Name

Awake the sacred song.
Oh, may His love, immortal flame,
Tune ev'ry heart and tongue!
2 His love, what mortal thought can reach,
What mortal tongue portray?
Imagination's utmost stretch
In wonder dies away.
3 He left His radiant throne on high,
Left realms of heav'nly bliss,
And came to earth to bleed and die--
Was ever love like this?
4 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay
Our humble thanks to Thee,
May every heart with rapture say,
"The Savior died for me!"
5 Oh, may the sweet, the blissful theme
Fill every heart and tongue
Till strangers love Thy charming name,
And join the sacred song!
