My God, how wonderful thou art

Author: Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 344 hymnals Matching Instances: 44 Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful thou art, thy majesty how bright, how beautiful thy mercy-seat in depths of burning light! 2 How dread are thine eternal years, O everlasting Lord, by prostrate spirits day and night incessantly adored! 3 How wonderful, how beautiful, the sight of thee must be, thine endless wisdom, boundless power, and aweful purity! 4 O how I fear thee, living God, with deepest, tenderest fears, and worship thee with trembling hope and penitential tears! 5 Yet I may love thee too, O Lord, almighty as thou art, for thou hast stooped to ask of me the love of my poor heart. 6 No earthly father loves like thee, no mother, e'er so mild, bears and forbears as thou hast done with me, thy sinful child. 7 Father of Jesus, love's reward, what rapture will it be, prostrate before thy throne to lie and gaze and gaze on thee!

Give Me the Wings of Faith

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 514 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 First Line: Give me the wings of faith to rise Lyrics: 1 Give me the wings of faith to rise within the veil, and see the saints above, how great their joys, how bright their glories be. 2 Once they were mourners here below, and poured out sighs and tears; they wrestled hard, as we do now, with sins and doubts and fears. 3 I ask them whence their victory came; they with united breath ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, their triumph to his death. 4 They marked the footsteps that he trod, his zeal inspired their breast; and, following their incarnate God, possess the promised rest. 5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise, for his own pattern given; while the long cloud of witnesses show the same path to heaven.

Faith grasps the blessing she desires, Hope points the upward gaze; And Love, celestial Love, inspires The eloquence of praise. 2.

Thee we adore, Eternal Name

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 371 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Thee we adore, Eternal Name, And humbly own to Thee, How feeble is our mortal frame, What dying worms are we! 2 Our wasting lives grow shorter still, As days and months increase; And every beating pulse we tell Leaves but the number less. 3 The year rolls round, and steals away The breath that first it gave: Whate'er we do, where'er we be, We're travelling to the grave. 4 Dangers stand thick through all the ground, To push us to the tomb; And fierce diseases wait around, To hurry mortals home. 5 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense, To walk this dangerous road; And if our souls are hurried hence May they be found with God.

Why rage the heathen? and vain things

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Why rage the heathen? and vain things why do the people mind? 2 Kings of the earth do set themselves, and princes are combined, to plot against the Lord, and his anointed, saying thus, 3 let us asunder break their bands, and cast their cords from us. 4 He that in heaven sits shall laugh; the Lord shall scorn them all. 5 Then shall he speak to them in wrath, in rage he vex them shall. 6 Yet, I my King appointed have upon my holy hill; on Zion mount his throne is set, established by my will. 7 The sure decree I will declare: the Lord hath said to me, thou art mine only Son; this day I have begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and for heritage the heathen I’ll make thine; and for possession I to thee will give earth’s utmost line. 9 Thou with a rod of iron shalt beat down and break them all; them, as a potter’s vessel, thou shalt dash in pieces small. 10 Now therefore, kings, be wise; be taught ye judges of the earth: 11 serve ye the Lord in holy fear; join trembling with your mirth. 12 Kiss ye the Son, lest in his ire ye perish from the way, for suddenly his wrath may burn: blest all that on him stay.

Yea, God is good to Israel

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Yea, God is good to Israel, to each pure-hearted one. 2 But as for me, my steps nigh slipped, my feet were almost gone. 3 For I envious was, and grudged the foolish folk to see, when I perceived wicked men enjoy prosperity. 4 For still their strength continues firm; their death of bands is free. 5 Not troubled they like other men, nor plagued, as others be. 6 Therefore their pride, like to a chain, them compasseth about: and, as a garment, violence doth cover them throughout. 7 Their eyes stand out with fat; they have more than their hearts could seek; 8 they mock, and loftily of wrong and of oppression speak. 9 They set their mouth against the heavens in proud and haughty talk; their boastful and reviling tongue upon the earth doth walk. 10 His people oftentimes for this look back, and turn about; since waters of so full a cup to these are poured out. 11 And thus they say, How can it be that God these things doth know? Or, Can there in the Highest be knowledge of things below? 12 Lo these the wicked are, and yet they prosper at their will in worldly things; they do increase in wealth and riches still. 13 I verily have done in vain my heart to purify; to no effect in innocence my hands made clean have I. 14 For daily, and all day throughout, great plagues I suffered have; yea, every morning I anew did chastisement receive. 15 If in this manner foolishly to speak I would intend, the generation of thy sons, behold, I should offend. 16 But when I thought this thing to know, it was too hard for me, 17 till to God’s sanctuary I went; then I their end did see. 18 Upon a slippery place them set assuredly thou hast; and down into destruction thou dost suddenly them cast. 19 How in a moment suddenly to ruin brought are they! With fearful terrors utterly they are consumed away. 20 Even like unto a dream, when one from sleeping doth arise; so thou, O Lord, when thou awak’st their image shalt despise. 21 Thus I was grieved in my heart, and in my reins oppressed. 22 So rude was I, and ignorant, and in thy sight a beast. 23 And yet, O Lord, I do abide continually with thee: thou dost me take by my right hand, and still upholdest me. 24 Thou with thy counsel, while I live, wilt me conduct and guide; and to thy glory afterward receive me to abide. 25 Whom have I in the heavens high but thee, O Lord, alone? And in the earth whom I desire besides thee there is none. 26 My flesh and heart doth faint and fail; but God doth fail me never: for of my heart God is the strength and portion for ever. 27 For, lo, they that are far from thee for ever perish shall; them that forsake thee wantonly thou hast destroyed all. 28 But surely it is good for me that I draw near to God: In God I trust, that all thy works I may declare abroad.

Jehovah said unto my Lord
