Thou wast, O God, and Thou wast blest

Author: John Mason Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou wast, O God, and Thou wast blest Before the world begun; Of Thine Eternity possest Before Time's glass did run. Thou needesst none Thy praise to sing, As if Thy joy could fade: Couldst Thou have needed anything, Thou couldst have nothing made. 2 Great and good God, it pleaséd Thee Thy Godhead to declare; And what Thy goodness did decree, Thy greatness did prepare: Thou spak'st, and heaven and earth appeared, And answered to Thy call; As if their Maker's voice they heard, Which is the creature's all. 3 To whom, Lord should I sing, but Thee, The Maker of my tongue? Lo! other lords would seize on me, But I to Thee belong. As waters haste unto their sea, And earth unto its earth, So let my soul return to Thee, From whom it had its birth. 4 But ah! I'm fallen on the night, And cannot come to Thee: Yet speak the word, "Let there be Light!" It shall enlighten me. And let Thy Word, most mighty Lord, Thy fallen creature raise; O make me o'er again, and I Shall sing my Maker's praise. Topics: Creation Used With Tune: BRUNSWICK

And let this feeble body fail

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 351 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail, And let it droop or die; My soul shall quit the mournful vale And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints, And find its long-sought Rest, That only bliss for which it pants, In the Redeemer's breast. 2 In hope of that immortal crown, I now the Cross sustain, And gladly wander up and down, And smile at toil and pain: I suffer on my three-score years Till my Deliverer come, And wipe away His servant's tears, And take His exile home. 3 O what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravished eyes Rivers of life divine I see, And trees of paradise! I see a world of spirits bright, Who reap the pleasures there; They all are clothed in robes of white, And conquering palms they bear. 4 O what are all my sufferings here, If, Lord, Thou count me meet, With that enraptured host to appear, And worship at Thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away; But let me find them all again In that eternal day.
