Laden with Guilt, and Full of Fears

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Laden with guilt, and full of fears, I fly to Thee, my Lord, And not a glimpse of hope appears But in Thy written Word. 2. The volume of my Father’s grace Does all my griefs assuage; Here I behold my Savior’s face Almost in every page. 3. This is the field where hidden lies The pearl of price unknown; That merchant is divinely wise Who makes the pearl his own. 4. Here consecrated water flows To quench my thirst of sin; Here the fair tree of knowledge grows, Nor danger dwells therein. 5. This is the Judge that ends the strife Where wit and reason fail, My guide to everlasting life Through all this gloomy vale. 6. O may Thy counsels, mighty God, My roving feet command; Nor I forsake the happy road That leads to Thy right hand. Used With Tune: ST. SAVIOUR (Baker) Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-1709

Though Troubles Assail Us

Author: John Newton Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 430 hymnals First Line: Though troubles assail us and dangers affright Lyrics: 1. Though troubles assail us and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail us and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us, The Lord will provide. 2. The birds, without garner or storehouse, are fed; From them let us learn to trust God for our bread. His saints what is fitting shall ne’er be denied So long as ’tis written, The Lord will provide. 3. We all may, like ships, by tempest be tossed On perilous deeps, but can not be lost; Though Satan enrages the wind and the tide, Yet Scripture engages, The Lord will provide. 4. His call we obey, like Abraham of old: We know not the way, but faith makes bold; For though we are strangers, we have a sure guide, And trust in all dangers, The Lord will provide. 5. When Satan assails us to stop up our path, And courage all fails us, we triumph by faith. He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried, This heart cheering promise, The Lord will provide. 6. He tells us we’re weak, our hope is in vain, The good that we seek we never shall obtain, But when such suggestions, our graces have tried, This answers all questions, The Lord will provide. 7. No strength of our own and no goodness we claim; Yet, since we have known of the Savior’s great name, In this our strong tower for safety we hide: The Lord is our power, The Lord will provide. 8. When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of His grace shall comfort us through, Not fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side, We hope to die shouting, The Lord will provide.
