With Joy We Meditate the Grace

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: VU1996 #351 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: SALZBURG (HAYDN) Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace of our high priest above; his heart is made of tenderness, it overflows with love. 2 Touched with a sympathy within, he knows our feeble frame; he knows what sore temptations mean, for he has felt the same. 3 But spotless, innocent, and pure the great Redeemer stood while Satan's fiery darts he bore, and did resist to blood. 4 He, in the days of feeble flesh, poured out his cries and tears; and in his measure feels afresh what every member bears. 5 He'll never quench the smoking flax, but raise it to a flame; the bruised reed he never breaks, nor scorns the meanest name. 6 Then let our humble faith address his mercy and his power; we shall obtain delivering grace in each distressing hour.

Isaiah the Prophet Has Written of Old

Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: VU1996 #680 (1996) Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Tune Title: SAMANTHRA Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old how God's new creation shall come, instead of the thorn tree the fir tree shall grow; the wolf shall lie down with the lamb. The mountains and hills shall break forth into song, the peoples be led forth in peace, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world, and conflict turns parent from child. Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth; the brier and the thorn tree grow wild. God, bring to fruition your will for the earth, that no one shall hurt or destroy, when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land and your people shall go forth in joy.
