How Few Receive with Cordial Faith

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. How few receive with cordial faith The tidings which we bring? How few have seen the arm revealed Of Heav’n’s eternal King? 2. The Savior comes! no outward pomp Bespeaks His presence nigh; No earthly beauty shines in Him To draw the carnal eye. 3. Fair as a beauteous tender flower Amidst the desert grows, So slighted by a rebel race The heav’nly Savior rose. 4. Rejected and despised of men, Behold a Man of woe! Grief was His close companion still Through all His life below. 5. Yet all the griefs He felt were ours, Ours were the woes He bore: Pangs, not His own, His spotless soul With bitter anguish tore. 6. We held Him as condemned by Heav’n, An outcast from His God, While for our sins He groaned, He bled, Beneath His Father’s rod. 7. His sacred blood hath washed our souls From sin’s polluted stain; His stripes have healed us, and His death Revived our souls again. 8. We all, like sheep, had gone astray In ruin’s fatal road: On Him were our transgressions laid; He bore the mighty load. 9. Wronged and oppressed how meekly He In patient silence stood! Mute, as the peaceful harmless lamb, When brought to shed its blood. 10. Who can His generation tell? From prison see Him led! With impious show of law condemned, And numbered with the dead. 11. ’Midst sinners low in dust He lay; The rich a grave supplied: Unspotted was His blameless life; Unstained by sin He died. 12. Yet God shall raise His head on high, Though thus He brought Him low; His sacred offering, when complete, Shall terminate His woe. 13. For, saith the Lord, My pleasure then Shall prosper in His hand; His shall a numerous offspring be, And still His honors stand. 14. His soul, rejoicing, shall behold The purchase of His pain; And all the guilty whom He saved Shall bless Messiah’s reign. 15. He with the great shall share the spoil, And baffle all His foes; Though ranked with sinners, here He fell, A Conqueror He rose. 16. He died to bear the guilt of men, That sin might be forgiv’n: He lives to bless them and defend, And plead their cause in Heav’n.

Lord, if Thine Eye Surveys Our Faults

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Lord, if Thine eye surveys our faults, And justice grows severe, Thy dreadful wrath exceeds our thoughts, And burns beyond our fear. 2. Thine anger turns our frame to dust; By one offense to Thee Adam with all his sons have lost Their immortality. 3. Life, like a vain amusement, flies, A fable or a song; By swift degrees our nature dies, Nor can our joys be long. 4. ’Tis but a few whose days amount To threescore years and ten; And all beyond that short account Is sorrow, toil, and pain. 5. Our vitals with laborious strife Bear up the crazy load, And drag those poor remains of life Along the tiresome road. 6. Almighty God, reveal Thy love, And not Thy wrath alone; O let our sweet experience prove The mercies of Thy throne! 7. Our souls would learn the heav’nly art T’ improve the hours we have, That we may act the wiser part, And live beyond the grave.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 207 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. O for a shout of sacred joy To God the sov’reign King! Let ev’ry land their tongues employ, And hymns of triumph sing. 2. Jesus our God ascends on high, His heav’nly guards around Attend Him rising through the sky, With trumpets’ joyful sound. 3. While angels shout and praise their King, Let mortals learn their strains; Let all the earth His honors sing; O’er all the earth He reigns. 4. Rehearse His praise with awe profound, Let knowledge lead the song, Nor mock Him with a solemn sound Upon a thoughtless tongue. 5. In Israel stood His ancient throne, He loved that chosen race; But now He calls the world His own, And heathens taste His grace. 6. The British islands are the Lord’s, There Abraham’s God is known; While powers and princes, shields and swords, Submit before His throne.

Throughout the world its breadth is known, Wide as infinity, So wide it never passed by one; Or it had passed by me. 4. My trespass was grown up to Heaven; But far above the skies, In Christ abundantly forgiven, I see Thy mercies rise! 5. The depth of all-redeeming love, What angel-tongue can tell? O may I to the utmost prove The gift unspeakable! 6. Deeper than hell, it plucked me thence; Deeper than inbred sin: Jesus’ love my heart shall cleanse, When Jesus enters in. 7. Come quickly, then, my Lord, and take Possession of Thine own; My longing heart vouchsafe to make Thine everlasting throne. 8. Assert Thy claim, receive Thy right, Come quickly from above, And sink me to perfection’s height, The depth of humble love.
