O Thou, Who All Things Canst Control

Author: Sigmund C. Gmelin, 1679-1707; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 66 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. O Thou, who all things canst control, Chase this dead slumber from my soul; With joy and fear, with love and awe, Give me to keep Thy perfect law. 2. O, may one beam of Thy blest light Pierce through, dispel the shades of night: Touch my cold breast with heavenly fire, With holy, conquering zeal inspire. 3. For zeal I sigh, for zeal I pant; Yet heavy is my soul and faint: With steps unwavering, undismayed, Give me in all Thy paths to tread. 4. With outstretched hands, and streaming eyes, Oft I begin to grasp the prize; I groan, I strive, I watch, I pray; But ah! how soon it dies away! 5. The deadly slumber soon I feel Afresh upon my spirit steal: Rise, Lord; stir up Thy quickening power, And wake me that I sleep no more. 6. Single of heart, O! may I be, Nothing may I desire but Thee: Far, far from me the world remove, And all that holds me from Thy love. Used With Tune: REST (Bradbury) Text Sources: Translation in Hymns and Sacred Poems (London: William Strahan, 1739), pages 12-13

To Thee before the close of day, Creator of the world, we pray That, with Thy wonted favor, Thou Wouldst be our guard and keeper now. 2.

Lord, When Thine Israel We Survey

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, when Thine Israel we survey, We in their crimes discern our own; And if Thou turn our prayer away, Our misery must, like theirs, be known. 2 To us Thy prophets have been sent With words of terror and of love; But not the vengeance, nor the grace, Ten thousand stubborn hearts will move. 3 Our eyes are blind, and deaf our ears; Our hearts are hardened into stone; As we would bar Thy mercy out, And leave a way for wrath alone. 4 Justly our God might give us up To plague and famine and the sword; Till towns and cities, rich and fair, Lay desolate without a Lord. 5 O’er bleeding wounds of slaughtered friends Rivers of helpless grief might flow, Till the fierce conqueror’s haughty rage Dragged us to chains and slaughter, too. 6 But spare a nation long Thine own, And show new miracles of grace, ’Tis Thine to heal the deaf and blind, And wake the dead to life and praise. Used With Tune: REST Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)
