Father of mercies, in Thy Word
Ye Wretched, Hungry, Starving Poor
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 326 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor,
Behold a royal feast!
Where mercy spreads her bounteous store
For every humble guest.
2 See, Jesus stands with open arms;
He calls, He bids you come:
Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms;
But see, there yet is room.
3 Room in the Savior’s bleeding heart;
There love and pity meet;
Nor will He bid the soul depart
That trembles at His feet.
4 In Him, the Father reconciled
Invites your souls to come;
The rebel shall be called a child,
And kindly welcomed home.
5 O come, and with His children taste
The blessings of His love;
While hope attends the sweet repast
Of nobler joys above.
6 There, with united heart and voice,
Before th’eternal throne,
Ten thousand, thousand souls rejoice,
In ecstasies unknown.
7 And yet ten thousand, thousand more,
Are welcome still to come;
Ye longing souls, the grace adore,
Approach, there yet is room. Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760

Think gently of the erring one

Think gently of the erring one
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Author: Richard Baxter Appears in 258 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
He that into God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessèd face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be?
5 Then I shall end my sad complaints
And weary sinful days,
And join with the triumphant saints
Who sing my Saviour's praise.
6 My knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him.
Amen.

The Harp at Nature's Advent Strung
Author: John G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 48 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The harp at Nature’s advent strung
Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars of morning sung
Has never died away.
2. And prayer is made, and praise is giv’n,
By all things near and far;
The ocean looketh up to Heav’n,
And mirrors every star.
3. Its waves are kneeling on the strand,
As kneels the human knee,
Their white locks bowing to the sand,
The priesthood of the sea!
4. They pour their glittering treasures forth,
Their gifts of pearl they bring,
And all the listening hills of earth
Take up the song they sing.
5. The green earth sends its incense up
From many a mountain shrine;
From folded leaf and dewy cup
She pours her sacred wine.
6. The mists above the morning rills
Rise white as wings of prayer;
The altar-curtains of the hills
Are sunset’s purple air.
7. The winds with hymns of praise are loud,
Or low with sobs of pain—
The thunder-organ of the cloud,
The dropping tears of rain.
8. With drooping head and branches crossed
The twilight forest grieves,
Or speaks with tongues of Pentecost
From all its sunlit leaves.
9. The blue sky is the temple’s arch,
Its transept earth and air,
The music of its starry march
The chorus of a prayer.
10. So Nature keeps the reverent frame
With which her years began,
And all her signs and voices shame
The prayerless heart of man. Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL

O That the Lord Would Guide My Ways
Author: William H. Havergal, 1793-1870 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 385 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O that the Lord would guide my ways
To keep His statutes still!
O that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!
2. Order my footstpes by thy Word,
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.
3. Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep;
And should I e'er forget thy way,
Restore thy wandering sheep.
4. Make me to walk in thy commands--
'Tis a delightful road--
Nor let my head or heart or hands
Offend against my God. Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL
