"Weary, heavy laden"
Author: John Newton Appears in 612 hymnals First Line: Approach, my soul! the mercy-seat Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul! the mercy-seat,
Where Jesus answers prayer;
There humbly fall before his feet,
For none can perish there.
2 Thy promise is my only plea,
With this I venture nigh:
Thou callest burdened souls to thee,
And such, O Lord! am I.
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By Satan sorely pressed;
By war without, and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.
4 Be thou my shield and hiding-place,
That, sheltered near thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
And tell him--thou hast died.
5 Oh, wondrous Love--to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead thy gracious name! Topics: Christ Hiding-Place; Christ Refuge; Prayer and Invocation Scripture: Psalm 50:15 Used With Tune: GIFT
"Weary, heavy laden"
Continued help
Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 997 hymnals First Line: When all thy mercies, O my God! Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God!
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts, to my soul,
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom those comforts flowed.
3 When, in the slippery paths of youth,
With heedless steps, I ran,
Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe,
And led me up to man.
4 Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart,
That tastes those gifts with joy.
5 Through every period of my life,
Thy goodness I'll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
6 Through all eternity, to thee
A joyful song I'll raise:
For, oh, eternity's too short
To utter all thy praise! Topics: Dependence On Providence; God: The Father Scripture: Deuteronomy 32:11 Used With Tune: RALSTON

O God, Thy Power Is Wonderful
Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, Thy power is wonderful,
Thy glory passing bright;
Thy wisdom, with its deep on deep,
A rapture to the sight.
2. I see Thee in the eternal years
In glory all alone,
Ere round Thine uncreated fires
Created light had shone.
3. I see Thee walk in Eden’s shade,
I see Thee all through time;
Thy patience and compassion seem
New attributes sublime.
4. I see Thee when the doom is o’er,
And outworn time is done,
Still, still incomprehensible,
O God, yet not alone.
5. Angelic spirits, countless souls,
Of Thee have drunk their fill;
And to eternity will drink
Thy joy and glory still.
6. O little heart of mine! shall pain
Or sorrow make thee moan,
When all this God is all for thee,
A Father all thine own? Used With Tune: POWER Text Sources: Oratory Hymns, 1854
O God, Thy Power Is Wonderful
Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord
Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1701-1751 Appears in 157 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord,
Chase all your fears away;
And bow with rapture down to see
The place where Jesus lay.
2 Thus low the Lord of Life was brought,
Such wonders love can do;
Thus cold in death that bosom lay,
Which throbbed and bled for you.
3 But raise your eyes, and tune your songs,
The Saviour lives again;
Not all the bolts and bars of death
The Conqueror could detain.
4 High o'er the angelic bands He rears
His once dishonoured head;
And through unnumbered years He reigns,
Who dwelt among the dead.
5 With joy like His shall every saint
His vacant tomb survey;
Then rise with his ascending Lord
To realms of endless day. Topics: Christ Conqueror; Christ Resurrection of; Conqueror, Christ the ; The Son Easter; Easter Hymns; Resurrection Of Christ Used With Tune: ST. ANTHOLIN
