My Heart Does Overflow

Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 12 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 My heart does overflow, a goodly theme is mine; my eager tongue with joyful song does praise the King divine. Supremely fair you are, your lips with grace o'erflow; his richest blessings evermore does God on you bestow. 2 Now gird you with your sword, O strong and mighty one, in splendid majesty arrayed, more glorious than the sun. Triumphantly ride forth for meekness, truth, and right; your arm shall gain the victory in wondrous deeds of might. 3 Your strength shall overcome all those that hate the King, and under your dominion strong the nations you shall bring. Your royal throne, O God, forevermore shall stand; eternal truth and justice wield the scepter in your hand. 4 Since you were sinless found, the Lord, by you confessed, anointed you with perfect joy, you are supremely blessed. Your garments breathe of myrrh and spices sweet and rare; glad strains of heav'nly music ring thro'out your palace fair. 5 Amid your glorious train the royal daughters stand, and fairest gems bedeck your bride, the queen at your right hand. O royal bride, give heed, my holy words attend; for Christ, the King, forsake the world and ev'ry former friend.

A heritage for me Jehovah will remain; My portion rich and full is he, My right he will maintain. 2 The lot to me that fell Is beautiful and fair; The heritage in which I dwell Is good beyond compare. I praise the Lord above Whose counsel guides aright; My heart instructs me in his love In seasons of the night. 3 I keep before me still The Lord whom I have proved; At my right hand he guards from ill, And I shall not be moved. Life's pathway thou wilt show, To thy right hand wilt guide, Where streams of pleasure ever flow, And boundless joys abide. Amen.

Ah! Whither Should I Go?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 193 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 First Line: Ah! whither should I go Lyrics: 1. Ah! whither should I go, Burdened and sick and faint? To whom should I my trouble show, And pour out my complaint? My Savior bids me come; Ah! why do I delay? He calls the weary sinner home, And yet from Him I stay. 2. What is it keeps me back, From which I cannot part, Which will not let the Savior take Possession of my heart? Searcher of hearts, in mine Thy trying power display; Into its darkest corners shine, And take the veil away. 3. I now believe in Thee, Compassion reigns alone; According to my faith, to me O let it, Lord, be done! 4. In me is all the bar, Which Thou wouldst fain remove; Remove it, and I shall declare That God is only love. The following verses are commonly omitted: 5. Some cursèd thing unknown Must surely lurk within, Some idol which I will not own, Some secret bosom sin. 6. Jesu, the hindrance show, Which I have feared to see; Yet let me now consent to know What keeps me out of Thee. Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER Text Sources: Hymns on God's Everlasting Love, 1741
