Witness, ye men and angels; now
Author: B. Beddome Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 231 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Witness, ye men and angels; now
Before the Lord we speak;
To Him we make our solemn vow,
A vow we dare not break;
2 That long as life itself shall last,
Ourselves to Christ we yield;
Nor from His cause will we depart,
Or ever quit the field.
3 We trust not in our native strength,
But on His grace rely;
That, with returning wants, the Lord
Will all our needs supply.
4 Lord, guide our doubtful feet aright,
And keep us in Thy ways;
And, while we turn our vows to prayers,
Turn Thou our prayers to praise.
Amen. Topics: Confession of Christ; Confirmation Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

Thy love our footsteps guide:

That fear all fear beside.

Oh, let thy grace supply!
The good unasked in mercy grant;
The ill, though asked, deny.
Amen. Topics: Faith; Protection; Providence; Trust Used With Tune: [Eternal God, we look to Thee]

Afflictions, Though They Seem Severe
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 174 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Afflictions, though they seem severe;
In mercy oft are sent;
They stopped the prodigal’s career,
And forced him to repent.
2. Although he no relentings felt
Till he had spent his store;
His stubborn heart began to melt
When famine pinched him sore.
3. “What have I gained by sin, he said,
But hunger, shame, and fear;
My father’s house abounds with bread,
While I am starving here.
4. I’ll go, and tell him all I’ve done,
And fall before his face
Unworthy to be called his son,
I’ll seek a servant’s place.
5. His father saw him coming back,
He saw, and ran, and smiled;
And threw his arms around the neck
Of his rebellious child.
6. Father, I’ve sinned—but O forgive!
I’ve heard enough, he said,
“Rejoice my house, my son’s alive,
For whom I mourned as dead.
7. Now let the fatted calf be slain,
And spread the news around;
My son was dead, but lives again,
Was lost, but now is found.
8. ’Tis thus the Lord His love reveals,
To call poor sinners home;
More than a father’s love He feels,
And welcomes all that come. Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 104
Afflictions, Though They Seem Severe
How Hurtful Was the Choice of Lot
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. How hurtful was the choice of Lot,
Who took up his abode
(Because it was a fruitful spot)
With them who feared not God!
2. A prisoner he was quickly made,
Bereaved of all his store;
And, but for Abraham’s timely aid,
He had returned no more.
3. Yet still he seemed resolved to stay
As if it were his rest;
Although their sins from day to day
His righteous soul distressed.
4. Awhile he stayed with anxious mind,
Exposed to scorn and strife;
At last he left his all behind,
And fled to save his life.
5. In vain his sons-in-law he warned,
They thought he told his dreams;
His daughters too, of them had learned,
And perished in the flames.
6. His wife escaped a little way,
But died for looking back:
Does not her case to pilgrims say,
Beware of growing slack?
7. Yea; Lot himself could ling’ring stand,
Though vengeance was in view;
’Twas mercy plucked him by the hand,
Or he had perished too.
8. The doom of Sodom wilt be ours
If to the earth we cleave;
Lord, quicken all our drowsy pow’rs,
To flee to Thee and live. Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)
