Great Shepherd of Thine Israel

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 90 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Great Shepherd of Thine Israel, Who didst between the cherubs dwell, And lead the tribes, Thy chosen sheep, Safe through the desert and the deep; 2. Thy church is in the desert now, Shine from on high and guide us through; Turn us to Thee, Thy love restore, We shall be saved and sigh no more. 3. Great God, whom heav’nly hosts obey, How long shall we lament and pray, And wait in vain Thy kind return? How long shall Thy fierce anger burn? 4. Instead of wine and cheerful bread Thy saints with their own tears are fed: Turn us to Thee, Thy love restore, We shall be saved, and sigh no more. 5. Hast thou not planted with Thy hands A lovely vine in heathen lands? Did not Thy power defend it round, And heav’nly dews enrich the ground? 6. How did the spreading branches shoot, And bless the nations with the fruit! But now, dear Lord, look down and see Thy mourning vine, that lovely tree. 7. Why is its beauty thus defaced? Why hast Thou laid her fences waste? Strangers and foes against her join, And every beast devours the vine. 8. Return, Almighty God, return, Nor let Thy bleeding vineyard mourn; Turn us to Thee, Thy love restore, We shall be saved, and sigh no more. 9. Lord, when this vine in Canaan grew, Thou wast its strength and glory too; Attacked in vain by all its foes, Till the fair Branch of Promise rose: 10. Fair Branch, ordained of old to shoot From David’s stock, from Jacob’s root; Himself a noble vine, and we The lesser branches of the tree. 11. ’Tis Thy own Son; and He shall stand Girt with Thy strength at Thy right hand; Thy first-born Son, adorned and blest With power and grace above the rest. 12. O for His sake attend our cry, Shine on Thy churches lest they die; Turn us to Thee, Thy love restore, We shall be saved, and sigh no more.

Who Hath Believed The Tidings?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Who hath believed the tidings? Who? Lyrics: 1 Who hath believed the tidings? Who? Or felt the joys our words impart? Gladly confessed our record true, And found the Savior in his heart? Planted in nature’s barren ground, And cherished by Jehovah’s care, There shall th’immortal Seed be found, The Root divine shall flourish there. 2 See the Desire of Nations comes, Nor outward pomp bespeaks Him near: A veil of flesh the God assumes, A servant’s form He stoops to wear. He lays His every glory by; Ignobly low, obscurely mean, Of beauty void, in reason’s eye, The source of loveliness is seen. 3 Rejected and despised of men, A man of griefs, inured to woe; His only intimate is pain, And grief is all His life below. We saw, and from the irksome sight Disdainfully our faces turned; Hell followed Him with fierce despite, And earth the humble Object scorned. 4 Surely for us He humbled was, And grieved with sorrows not His own: Of all His woes were we the cause, We filled His soul with pangs unknown. Yet Him th’Offender we esteemed, Stricken by Heav’n’s vindictive rod, Afflicted for Himself we deemed, And punished by an angry God. 5 But, O! with our transgressions stained, For our offense He wounded was; Ours were the sins that bruised and pained And scourged, and nailed Him to the cross. The chastisement that bought our peace, To sinners due, on Him was laid: Conscience, be still! Thy terrors cease! The debt’s discharged, the ransom’s paid. 6 What though we all as wandering sheep Have left our God, and loved to stray, Refused His mild commands to keep, And madly urged the downward way? Father, on Him Thy bolt did fall, The mortal law Thy Son fulfilled, Thou laid on Him the guilt of all, And by His stripes we all are healed. 7 Accused, His mouth He opened not; He answered not, by wrongs oppressed. Pure though He was from sinful spot, Our guilt He silently confessed. Meek as a lamb to slaughter led, A sheep before His shearers dumb, To suffer in the sinner’s stead Behold the spotless Victim come! 8 Who could His heav’nly birth declare, When bound by man He silent stood; When worms arraigned Him at their bar, And doomed to death th’eternal God! Patient the sufferings to sustain, The vengeance to transgressors due, Guiltless He groaned and died for man: Sinners, rejoice, He died for you! 9 For your imputed guilt He bled, Made sin a sinful world to save; Meekly He sunk among the dead: The rich supplied an honored grave! For, O! devoid of sin, and free From actual or entailed offense, No sinner in Himself was He, But pure and perfect innocence. 10 Yet Him th’almighty Father’s will With bruising chastisements pursued, Doomed Him the weight of sin to feel, And, sternly just, required His blood. But, lo! the mortal debt is paid, The costly sacrifice is o’er; His soul, for sin an offering made, Revives, and He shall die no more. 11 His numerous seed He now shall see, Scattered through all the earth abroad, Blest with His immortality, Begot by Him, and born of God. Head to His Church o’er all below, Long shall He here His sons sustain; Their bounding hearts His power shall know, And bless the loved Messiah’s reign. 12 ’Twixt God and them He still shall stand, The children whom His Sire hath giv’n; Their cause shall prosper in His hand, While Righteousness looks down from Heaven: While pleased He counts the ransomed race, And calls and draws them from above; The travail of His soul surveys, And rests in His redeeming love. 13 “Tis done! My justice asks no more, The satisfaction’s fully made: Their sins He in His body bore, Their Surety all the debt has paid. My righteous Servant and My Son Shall each believing sinner clear; And all who stoop to abjure their own, Shall in His righteousness appear. 14 “Them shall He claim His just desert, Them His inheritance receive, And many a contrite humble heart Will I for His possession give. Satan He thence shall chase away, Assert His right, His foes o’ercome; Stronger than hell, retrieve the prey, And bear the spoil triumphant home. 15 "For charged with all their guilt He stood, Sinners from suffering to redeem; For them He poured out all His blood, Their substitute, He died for them. He died, and rose His death to plead, To testify their sins forgiven: And still I hear Him intercede, And still He makes their claim to Heaven."
