Be it my only wisdom here

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: CBWM1872 #467 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Be it my only wisdom here To serve the Lord with filial fear, With loving gratitude! Knowledge divine may I display, By shunning every evil way, And walking in the good. 2 O may I still from sin depart! A wise and understanding heart, Jesus, to me be given! And let me through thy Spirit know To glorify my God below, And find my way to heaven. Topics: The Christian Life Wisdom and Self-Knowledge Languages: English Tune Title: PURLEIGH

Before Jehovah's awful throne

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: CBWM1872 #1 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awesome throne, All nations, bow with sacred joy: Know that the Lord is God alone, He can create, and He destroy. 2 His sovereign power without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to His fold again. 3 We are His people, we His care, Our souls and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy Name? 4 We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heaven our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is Thy command, Vast as eternity Thy Love; Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

Before the Lord we bow

Author: Francis Scott Key Hymnal: CBWM1872 #494 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Before the Lord we bow, The God who reigns above, And rules the world below Boundless in power and love; Our thanks we bring In joy and praise, Our hearts we raise To heaven's high King. 2 The nation Thou hast blest, May well Thy love declare, From foes and fears at rest, Protected by Thy care. For this fair land, For this bright day, Our thanks we pay,-- Gifts of Thy hand. 3 May every mountain height, Each vale and forest green, Shine in Thy Word's pure light, And its rich fruits be seen! May every tongue Be tuned to praise, And join to raise A grateful song. 4 Earth! hear thy Maker's voice, The great Redeemer own; Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship Him alone. Cast down thy pride, Thy sin deplore, And bow before The Crucified. 5 And when in power He comes, O may our native land, From all its rending tombs, Send forth a glorious band, A countless throng, Ever to sing To heaven's high King Salvation's song.

Behold the amazing sight

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: CBWM1872 #180 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold the amazing sight, The Saviour lifted high! Behold the Son of God's delight Expire in agony! 2 For whom, for whom, my heart, Were all these sorrows borne? Why did He feel that piercing smart, And meet that various scorn? 3 For love of us He bled, And all in torture died; 'Twas Love that bowed His fainting head, And oped His gushing side. 4 Drawn by such cords as these, Let all the earth combine, With cheerful ardor to confess The energy divine. 5 In Thee our hearts unite, Nor share Thy griefs alone, But from Thy Cross pursue their flight To Thy triumphant throne.

Behold the Saviour of mankind

Author: Samuel Wesley Sr. Hymnal: CBWM1872 #179 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold the Saviour of mankind Nailed to the shameful tree! How vast the love that Him inclined To bleed and die for thee! 2 Hark, how He groans! while nature shakes, And earth's strong pillars bend! The temple's veil in sunder breaks, The solid marbles rend. 3 'Tis done; the precious ransom's paid: "Receive my soul!" He cries: See where He bows His sacred head! He bows His head and dies. 4 But soon He'll break death's envious chain, And in full glory shine. O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love like Thine?

Behold the sure Foundation Stone

Author: Watts Hymnal: CBWM1872 #264 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold the sure Foundation Stone Which God in Zion lays, To build our heavenly hopes upon, And His eternal praise. 2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear, And saints adore the Name; They trust their whole salvation here, Nor shall they suffer shame. 3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest, Reject it with disdain; Yet on this Rock the church shall rest, And envy rage in vain. 4 What though the gates of hell withstood, Yet must this Building rise: 'Tis Thine own work, almighty God, And wondrous in our eyes.

Behold, where in a mortal form

Author: William Enfield Hymnal: CBWM1872 #151 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold, where in a mortal form Appears each grace divine! The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine. 2 To spread the rays of heavenly light, To give the mourner joy, To preach glad tidings to the poor, Was His divine employ. 3 'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn, Patient and meek He stood. His foes, ungrateful, sought His life; He labored for their good. 4 In the last hours of deep distress, Before His Father's throne, With soul resigned He bowed, and said, "Thy will, not mine, be done!" 5 Be Christ our Pattern and our Guide! His image may we bear! O may we tread His holy steps, His joys and glory share!

Beset with snares on every hand

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: CBWM1872 #450 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Beset with snares on every hand, In life’s uncertain path I stand: Saviour divine! diffuse Thy light, To guide my doubtful footsteps right. 2 Engage this roving treacherous heart Wisely to choose the better part; To scorn the trifles of a day, For joys that none can take away. 3 Then let the wildest storms arise; Let tempests mingle earth and skies: No fatal shipwreck shall I fear, But all my treasures with me bear. 4 If Thou, my Jesus, still be nigh, Cheerful I live, and joyful die: Secure, when mortal comforts flee, To find ten thousand worlds in Thee.
