How Shall I Look Upon That Brow?

Author: K. Y. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: How shall I look upon that brow Lyrics: 1 How shall I look upon that brow, O crowned with thorns for me? How shall I lift my sinful eyes, Those glorious eyes to see? 2 How shall I dare to look upon The piercèd hands and feet, When all the dead in Christ shall rise Their risen Lord to meet? 3 How shall I venture, holy Lord, To come before Thee now, All stained with sin my evil heart, Its mark upon my brow? 4 My waywardness, my willfulness, The sins I dare not name, Gave to the Lord of Life His death, The Lord of Glory shame. 5 The lame and blind were hated then Of holy David’s soul; They came to Thee in temple, Lord, And Thou didst make them whole. 6 The leper dared not sit or rest Where trace of man had been; Yet didst Thou deign, all merciful, To touch, and make him clean. 7 From some the righteous pure will shrink, And shun their face to see, But harlot and the publican Thou calledst unto Thee. 8 And when Thy blessèd hands were pierced, Upon the bitter tree, Even in that hour of agony, Thou thought with love of me. 9 Alas! I knew not what I did, I know not what I do, When by my sins I crucify The Son of God anew. 10 I only know that I am vile, More vile than words can say, But know that Jesus did not will The worst be cast away.

In Mercy, Not In Wrath, Rebuke

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 In mercy, not in wrath, rebuke Thy feeble worm, my God! My spirit dreads Thine angry look, And trembles at Thy rod. 2 Have mercy, Lord, for I am weak, Regard my heavy groans; O let Thy voice of comfort speak, And heal my broken bones! 3 By day my busy beating head Is filled with anxious fears; By night, upon my restless bed, I weep a flood of tears. 4 Thus desolate I sit and mourn, Mine eyes grow dull with grief; How long, my Lord, ere Thou return, And bring my soul relief? 5 O come and show Thy power to save, And spare my fainting breath; For who can praise Thee in the grave, Or sing Thy name in death? 6 Hear Satan, cruel and envious foe, Insult me in my pain; He smiles to see me brought so low, And tells me hope is vain. 7 But hence, thou enemy, depart! Nor tempt me to despair; My Savior comes to cheer my heart, The Lord has heard my prayer. Used With Tune: MAITLAND Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1

How Hast Thou, Lord, From Year To Year

Author: Thomas Gibbons, 1720-1785 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 How hast Thou, Lord, from year to year, Our land with plenty crowned! And generous fruit and golden grain Have spread their riches round. 2 But we Thy mercies have abused To more abounding crimes; What heights, what daring heights in sin Disgrace and mark our times! 3 Equal, though awful, is the doom, That fierce descending rain Should into inundations swell, And crush the rising grain! 4 How just, that in the autumn’s reign, When we had hoped to reap, Our fields of sorrow and despair Should lie a hideous heap! 5 But Lord, have mercy on our land, Those floods of vengeance stay: Dispel these glooms, and let the sun Shine in unclouded day! 6 To Thee alone we look for help; None else of dew or rain Can give the world the smallest drop Or smallest drop restrain.

Sweet Is The Light, What'er It Be

Author: Thomas Davis Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Sweet is the light, whate’er it be Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the light, whate’er it be, That leads us to the Lord; And sure are they, who seek His face, To find their great reward. 2 A star once led a chosen few To gaze with raptured heart Upon the infant Savior’s form, And costliest gifts impart. 3 More blest are we, although not led To Him we worship thus: The star is gone; the risen Sun Reveals Himself to us. 4 O may His beams yet dearer grow, Till ours be that bright crown Received where He for ever shines, A Sun that goes not down!
