What Law, Beloved Jesu

Author: Johann Heerman; Arthur T. Russell Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: What law, beloved Jesu, hast Thou broken? Lyrics: 1 What law, belovèd Jesu, hast Thou broken? Why have Thy foes such cruel judgment spoken? What is Thy crime? for what do they disdain Thee? Why thus arraign Thee? 2 What laid on Thee the griefs Thy soul endurèd? Ah! Lord, my guilt Thy stripes and wounds procurèd; My sad desert, whose sins my God have grievèd, Thou has receivèd. 3 How great, how wonderful is this correction, The Shepherd’s death becomes His sheep’s protection! The servant’s sin to Heav’n for vengeance crieth; His good Lord dieth! 4 To reach Thy grace in vain all thought ascendeth; Above my praise Thy mercy far exendeth! Thy deeds of love surpass our utmost measure Of work and treasure.

From The Recesses Of A Lowly Spirit

Author: John Bowring Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 90 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 From the recesses of a lowly spirit, Our humble prayer ascends; O Father! hear it, Upsoaring on the wings of awe and meekness; Forgive its weakness! 2 I know, I feel, how mean and how unworthy The trembling sacrifice I pour before Thee; What can I offer in Thy presence holy, But sin and folly? 3 For in Thy sight—who every bosom viewest, Cold are our warmest vows, and vain our truest; Thoughts of a hurrying hour; our lips repeat them, Our hearts forget them. 4 We see Thy hand—it leads us, it supports us: We hear Thy voice—it counsels and it courts us: And then we turn away—and still Thy kindness Pardons our blindness. 5 And still Thy rain descends, Thy sun is glowing, Fruits ripen round, flowers are beneath us blowing And, as if man were some deserving creature, Joys cover nature. 6 O how long-suffering, Lord! but Thou delightest To win with love the wandering—Thou invitest, By smiles of mercy—not by frowns or terrors, Man from his errors. 7 Father and Savior! plant within that bosom The seeds of holiness—and bid them blossom In fragrance and in beauty bright and vernal, And spring eternal. 8 Then place them in Thine everlasting gardens, Where angels walk, and seraphs are the wardens; Where every flower that creeps thro’ death’s dark portal, Becomes immortal.

When The Fierce North Wind

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 31 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: When the fierce north wind with his airy forces Lyrics: 1 When the fierce north wind with his airy forces Rears up the Baltic to a foaming fury; And flame of lightning, with a storm of hail comes Rushing amain down. 2 How the poor sailors stand amazed and tremble! While the hoarse thunder, like a bloody trumpet, Roars a loud onset to the gaping water Quick to devour them. 3 Such shall the noise be, and the wild disorder, If things eternal may be like these earthly; Such the dire terror when the great archangel Shakes all creation. 4 Tears the strong pillars of the vault of Heaven, Breaks up old marble, the repose of princes; See the graves open, and the bones arising, Flames all around them! 5 Hark, the shrill outcries of the guilty wretches! Lively bright horror, and amazing anguish; Stare through their eyelids, while the living worm lies Gnawing within them. 6 Thoughts, like old vultures, prey upon their heart strings, And the smart twinges, when their eye beholds the Lofty Judge frowning, and a flood of vengeance Rolling afore Him. 7 Hopeless immortals! how they scream and shiver While devils push them to the pit wide yawning, Hideous and gloomy, to receive them headlong Down to the center. 8 Stop here, my fancy: all away, ye horrid Doleful ideas, come, now arise to Jesus; How he sits Godlike! And the saints around Him Throned, yet adoring! 9 O may I sit there when He comes triumphant, Dooming the nations! Then ascend to glory, While our hosannas all along the passage Shout the Redeemer.
