From thee all skill and science flow
Father, I Sing Thy Wondrous Grace
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 70 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Father, I sing Thy wondrous grace,
I bless my Savior’s name;
He bought salvation for the poor,
And bore the sinner’s shame.
2. His deep distress has raised us high;
His duty and His zeal
Fulfilled the law which mortals broke,
And finished all Thy will.
3. His dying groans, His living songs,
Shall better please my God
Than harp or trumpet’s solemn sound,
Than goat’s or bullock’s blood.
4. This shall His humble followers see,
And set their hearts at rest;
They by His death draw near to Thee,
And live forever blessed.
5. Let Heav’n and all that dwell on high
To God their voices raise,
While lands and seas assist the sky,
And join t’advance the praise.
6. Sion is thine, most holy God,
Thy Son shall bless her gates;
And glory purchased by His blood
For Thy own Israel waits. Used With Tune: FARNHAM Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

God, To Correct A Guilty World
Author: Thomas Jervis Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 God, to correct a guilty world,
In wrath is slow to rise;
But comes at length, in thunder clothed,
And darkness veils the skies.
2 His awful banners, lifted high,
The nations’ God declare;
And stained with blood, with terrors marked,
Spread wonder and despair.
3 All earthly glory, pomp and pride,
Are in His presence lost:
Empires o’erturned, thrones, scepters, crowns,
In wild confusion tossed.
4 While war and misery prevail,
And desolation wide,
In God, the sovereign Lord of all,
The righteous still confide.
5 Dark and mysterious is the course
Of His tremendous way:
His path is in the trackless winds,
And in the foaming sea.
6 Yet, though enveloped in the cloud,
And from our view concealed,
The righteous Judge will soon appear,
In majesty revealed!
7 Then will He curb the lawless power,
The deadly wrath of man;
And all the windings will unfold
Of His own gracious plan.
8 Then all the sons of tyranny
In ruin shall be hurled;
And light, and liberty, and bliss,
Embrace the new born world. Used With Tune: FARNHAM Text Sources: A Collection of Hymns and Psalms for Public and Private Worship (London:1795)
God, To Correct A Guilty World
Frail Youth Are On A Slippery Path
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Frail youth are on a slippery path,
Beset with mighty foes;
Surrounded with disease and death,
Unnumbered sins and woes.
2 Their passions war against the soul,
And lead their feet astray;
Submitting to the world’s control,
They shun the narrow way.
3 To vanities of time and sense,
Their youthful hearts are prone;
How difficult to draw them thence,
To seek a heav’nly goal.
4 Great God, the work is wholly Thine,
To guide our erring youth;
Do Thou their wandering hearts incline,
To seek the ways of truth.
5 Restrain impetuous passions, Lord,
Upwards direct their eyes;
Give them a heart to know Thy word,
And all Thy counsels prize. Used With Tune: FARNHAM Text Sources: Hymns Adapted to Public Worship (London: Burton & Briggs, 1818)
