To make Thine honor ours.

Till they who wander far shall seek
And find and serve Thee well.

Their praises at Thy throne. Used With Tune: GRÄFENBERG

As O'er The Past My Memory Strays
Author: Thomas F. Middleton, 1769-1832 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 83 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: As o’er the past my memory strays Lyrics: 1 As o’er the past my memory strays,
Why heaves the secret sigh?
’Tis that I mourn departed days,
Still unprepared to die.
2 The world and worldly things beloved,
My anxious thoughts employed;
And time unhallowed, unimproved,
Presents a fearful void.
3 Yet, holy Father, wild despair
Chase from my laboring breast;
Thy grace it is which prompts the prayer,
That grace can do the rest.
4 My life’s brief remnant all be Thine;
And when Thy sure decree
Bids me this fleeting breath resign,
O speed my soul to Thee.

The Promised Land
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 305 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Far from these narrow scenes of night Lyrics: 1 Far from these narrow scenes of night
Unbounded glories rise,
And realms of infinite delight
Unknown to mortal eyes.
2 Far distant land—could mortal eyes
But half its joys explore,
How would our spirits long to rise,
And dwell on earth no more!
3 There pain and sickness never come,
And grief no more complains!
Health triumphs in immortal bloom,
And endless pleasure reigns!
4 From discord free and war’s alarms,
And want and pining care,
Plenty and peace unite their charms,
And smile unchanging there.
5 There rich varieties of joy,
Continual feast the mind;
Pleasures which fill, but never cloy,
Immortal and refined!
6 No factious strife, no envy there,
The sons of peace molest,
But harmony and love sincere,
Fill every happy breast.
7 No cloud those blissful regions know,
For ever bright and fair!
For sin, the source of mortal woe,
Can never enter there.
8 There no alternate night is known,
Nor sun’s faint sickly ray;
But glory from the sacred throne
Spreads everlasting day.
9 That glorious Monarch there displays
His beams of wondrous grace;
His happy subjects sing His praise,
And bow before His face.
10 O may the heavenly prospect fire
Our hearts with ardent love,
Till wings of faith and strong desire
Bear every thought above.
11 Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine,
For Thy bright courts on high;
Then bid our spirits rise and join
The chorus of the sky.

Blest With The Joys Of Innocence
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Blest with the joys of innocence,
Adam our father stood,
Till he debased his soul to sense,
And ate th’unlawful food.
2 Now we are born a sensual race,
To sinful joys inclined;
Reason has lost its native place,
And flesh enslaves the mind.
3 While flesh, and sense, and passion reigns,
Sin is the sweetest good;
We fancy music in our chains,
And so forget the load.
4 Great God! renew our ruined frame,
Our broken powers restore,
Inspire us with a heav’nly flame,
And flesh shall reign no more.
5 Eternal Spirit! write Thy law
Upon our inward parts,
And let the second Adam draw
His image on our hearts. Used With Tune: GRÄFENBERG Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-09, Book II

Wie bist du mir so innig gut
Author: Gerhard Tersteegen, 1697-1769 Appears in 67 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Wie bist du mir so innig gut,
mein Hoherpriester Du!
Wie kräftig spricht Dein teures Blut
und bring mein Herz zur Ruh.
2 Wenn mein Gewissen zagen will
Vor meiner Sündenschuld,
so macht Dein Blut mich wieder still,
setzt mich bei Gott in Huld.
3 Es gibt dem schwerbedrückten Sinn
Freimütigkeit zu Dir,
daß ich in Dir zufrieden bin,
wie arm ich bin in mir.
4 Bin ich gestrauchelt hier und da
Und will verzagen fast,
spür Dein Versöhnungsblut ich nah;
das nimmt mir meine Last.
5 Es lindert meinen tiefen Schmerz
Durch seine milde Kraft,
es stillet mein verstörtes Herz
und neuen Glauben schafft.
6 Zieh mich in Dein versöhnend Herz,
mein Jesus, tief hinein,
laß es in aller Not und Schmerz
mir Burg und Zuflucht sein! Used With Tune: [Wie bist du mir so innig gut]
Wie bist du mir so innig gut
Now that the sun is beaming bright
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 105 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Now that the sun is beaming bright,
Once more to God we pray
That He, the uncreated light,
May guide our souls this day.
2 No sinful word, no deed of wrong,
No thoughts that idly rove,
But simple truth be on our tongue,
And in our hearts be love.
3 And while the hours in order flow,
O Christ, securely fence
Our gates, beleaguered by the foe,
The gate of every sense.
4 And grant that to Thine honor, Lord,
Our daily toil may tend:
That we begin it at Thy word,
And in Thy favor end. Topics: Worship Morning Used With Tune: NOW THANK THE LORD
Now that the sun is beaming bright
God moves in a mysterious way
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,127 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own Interpreter,
And He will make it plain. Topics: God the Father Providence of Used With Tune: NOW THANK THE LORD
