Lord, I have made Thy Word my choice, My lasting heritage; There shall my noblest powers rejoice, My warmest thoughts engage. 2.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Behold what witnesses unseen encompass us around, who, once like us, with suffering tried, but now with glory crowned. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, begin the Christian race, and, freed from each encumbering weight, their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a witness nobler still, who trod affliction's path, Jesus, at once the finisher and author of our faith. 4 He for the joy before him set, so generous was his love, endured the cross, despised the shame, and now he reigns above. 5 Then let our hearts no more despond, our hands be weak no more; still let us trust our Father's love, his wisdom still adore.

Above Me Hangs The Silent Sky

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Above me hangs the silent sky; Around me rolls the sea; The crew is at all at rest, and I Am, Lord, alone with Thee. 2 Go where I may, from all remote, Thou, Lord, art ever near: No secret thought, but Thou canst note; No word, but Thou canst hear. 3 When all around are sunk to sleep, Thy presence here I find; To me Thou walkest o’er the deep, Or speakest in the wind. 4 In winds, and waves, and starry sky; I see Thee present here; And, looking at myself, I cry, Can I still be Thy care? 5 I think of days and dangers past, When I have found Thee nigh; And wonder how Thy love can last To one so vile as I. 6 I think of terrors near at hand, Of judgment yet to come; When I before Thy face must stand And hear my final doom. 7 The sense of all I’ve been and done Would fill me with despair; But to my Savior’s cross I run, And find a refuge there. 8 I know He has the power to aid, I know He has the will: And He who once for sinners bled, Can rescue sinners still. 9 Lord, arm my soul with faith in Thee, And fill my heart with love, My path from sin and danger free, And guide me safe above. 10 And while the waves around me beat, Lord, often thus descend, And grant me here communion sweet With Thee, the sinner’s friend.

Lord, thee my God, I'll early seek

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, thee my God, I’ll early seek: my soul doth thirst for thee; my flesh longs in a dry parched land, wherein no waters be: 2 that I thy power may behold, and brightness of thy face, as I have seen thee heretofore within thy holy place. 3 Since better is thy love than life, my lips thee praise shall give. 4 I in thy name will lift my hands, and bless thee while I live. 5 Even as with marrow and with fat my soul shall filled be; then shall my mouth with joyful lips sing praises unto thee. 6 When I do thee upon my bed remember with delight, I meditate on thee throughout the watches of the night. 7 In shadow of thy wings I’ll joy; for thou mine help hast been. 8 My soul thee follows hard; and me thy right hand doth sustain. 9 To lowest depths of earth shall go those who my soul would slay; 10 They by the sword shall perish all, of foxes be the prey. 11 Yet shall the king in God rejoice, and each one glory shall that swear by him; but stopped shall be the mouth of liars all.

How lovely is your dwelling-place

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 53 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 How lovely is thy dwelling-place, O Lord of hosts, to me! The tabernacles of thy grace how pleasant, Lord, they be! 2 My thirsty soul longs veh’mently, yea faints, thy courts to see; my very heart and flesh cry out, O living God, for thee. 3 Behold, the sparrow findeth out an house wherein to rest; the swallow also for herself provided hath a nest; even thine own altars, where she safe her young ones forth may bring, O thou almighty Lord of hosts, who art my God and King. 4 Blest are they in thy house that dwell, they ever give thee praise. 5 Blest is the man whose strength thou art, in whose heart are thy ways: 6 who as they pass through Baca’s vale, make it a place of springs, also the rain that falleth down rich blessing to it brings. 7 So they from strength unwearied go still forward unto strength, until in Zion they appear before the Lord at length. 8 Lord God of hosts, my prayer hear; O Jacob’s God, give ear. 9 See, God our shield, look on the face of thine anointed dear. 10 For in thy courts one day excels a thousand; rather in my God’s house will I keep a door, than dwell in tents of sin. 11 For God the Lord’s a sun and shield: he’ll grace and glory give; and will withhold no good from them that uprightly do live. 12 O thou that art the Lord of hosts, that man is truly blest, who with assured confidence on thee alone doth rest.

Let hills and mountains join the hymn, and joy through nature flow. 2 Behold how gracious is our God! hear the consoling strains, in which he cheers our drooping hearts, and mitigates our pains. 3 Cease ye, when days of darkness come, in sad dismay to mourn, as if the Lord could leave his saints forsaken or forlorn. 4 Can the fond mother e’er forget the infant whom she bore? and can its plaintive cries be heard, nor move compassion more? 5 She may forget: nature may fail a parent’s heart to move; But Sion on my heart shall dwell in everlasting love. 6 Full in my sight, upon my hands I have engrav'd her name: my hands shall build her ruin'd walls, and raise her broken frame.
