May ev'ry tongue Be tuned to praise And join to raise A grateful song. 4 Earth, hear your Maker's voice; Your great Redeemer own; Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship him alone. Cast down your pride, Your sin deplore, And bow before The Crucified. 5 And when in pow'r he comes, Oh, may our native land From all its rending tombs Send forth a glorious band, A countless throng, With joy to sing To heav'n's high king Salvation's song!

There Stands a Fountain Where for Sin

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800; Nathaniel Micklem Hymnal: LW1982 #506 (1982) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There stands a fountain where for sin Immanuel was slain, And sinners who are washed therein Are cleansed from ev'ry stain, Are cleansed from ev'ry stain. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed all my sins away, Washed all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood Shall never lose its pow'r Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved and sin no more, Be saved and sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die. 5 When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing thy pow'r to save.

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: LW1982 #508 (1982) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to thy mercy fly While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Savior, hide Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide. Oh, receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on thee. Leave, ah, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me! All my trust on thee is stayed, All my help from thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of thy wing. 3 Wilt thou not regard my call, Wilt thou not accept my prayer? Lo, I sink, I faint, I fall; Lo, on thee I cast my care; Reach me out thy gracious hand! While I of thy strength receive, Hoping against hope I stand, Dying, and behold, I live! 4 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name: I am all unrighteousness, False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace. 5 Plenteous grace with thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin. Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of thee; Spring thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity.
