How gentle God's commands!

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: SDAH1886 #91 (1886) Lyrics: 1 How gentle God's commands! How kind his precepts are! Come, cast your burdens on the Lord, And trust his constant care. 2 Beneath his watchful eye His saints securely dwell; That hand which bears all nature up Shall guard his children well. 3 Why should this anxious load Press down your weary mind? Haste to your heavenly Father's throne, And sweet refreshment find. 4 His goodness stands approved Through each succeeding day: I'll drop my burden at his feet, And bear a song away.

God is love; his mercy brightens

Author: Sir John Bowring Hymnal: SDAH1886 #92 (1886) Lyrics: 1 God is love; his mercy brightens All the path in which we rove; Bliss he wakes, and woe he lightens: God is wisdom, God is love. 2 Chance and change are busy ever; Man decays, and ages move; But his mercy waneth never: God is wisdom, God is love. 3 E'en the hour that darkest seemeth, Will his changeless goodness prove; From the gloom his brightness streameth: God is wisdom, God is love. 4 He with earthly cares entwineth Hope and comfort from above; Everywhere his glory shineth: God is wisdom, God is love.

There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: SDAH1886 #93 (1886) Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in his justice, Which is more than liberty. 2 There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in his blood. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, We should take him at his word; and our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord.

Mighty God! while angels bless thee

Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: SDAH1886 #94 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Mighty God! while angels bless thee, May a mortal lisp thy name? Lord of men, as well as angels! Thou art every creature's theme: 2 Lord of every land and nation! Ancient of eternal days! Sounded through the wide creation Be thy just and awful praise. 3 For the grandeur of thy nature Grand, beyond a seraph's thought; For the wonders of creation, Works with skill and kindness wrought; 4 For thy providence, that governs Through thine empire's wide domain, Wings an angel, guides a sparrow, Blessed be thy gentle reign. 5 For thy rich, thy free redemption Bright, though vailed in darkness long Thought is poor, and poor, expression; Who can sing that wondrous song? 6 Christ the brightness of thy glory, By thy mercy came to die; How can mortal tongue be silent? How can praise unmuttered lie? 7 Leaving all his exaltation, Bearing all our sin and woe, O, what love divine was shown us! Flow, my praise, forever flow.

Lord, thy glory fills the heaven

Author: Richard Mant Hymnal: SDAH1886 #95 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord, thy glory fills the heaven; Earth is with its fullness stored; Unto thee be glory given, Holy, holy, holy Lord! Heaven is still with anthems ringing; Earth takes up the angels' cry, Holy, holy, holy, singing, Lord of hosts, thou Lord most high. 2 Ever thus in God's high praises, Brethren, let our tongues unite; While our thought his greatness raises, And our love his gifts excite: With his seraph train before him, With his holy church below, Thus unite we to adore him, Bid we thus our anthem flow. 3 Lord, thy glory fills the heaven, Earth is with its fullness stored; Unto thee be glory given, Holy, holy, holy Lord! Thus thy glorious name confessing, We adopt the angels' cry, Holy, holy, holy, blessing Thee, the Lord our God most high! Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Tune Title: FABEN

Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Hymnal: SDAH1886 #96 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee For the bliss thy love bestows; For the pardoning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows: Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise; Thou must light the flame, or never Can my soul be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wanderer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away; Praise, with love's devotest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear, And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained cross appear. 3 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express: Low before thy footstool kneeling, Deign thy suppliant's prayer to bless; Let thy grace, my soul's chief treasure, Love's pure flame within me raise; And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth thy praise.

O worship the King, all-glorious above

Author: Robert Grant Hymnal: SDAH1886 #97 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all-glorious above, And gratefully sing his wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace, Whose robe is the light; whose canopy, space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies, how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Tune Title: LYONS

Though trouble assail us, and dangers affright

Author: John Newton Hymnal: SDAH1886 #98 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Though troubles assail, and dangers affright; Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us, "The Lord will provide." 2 The birds, without barn or store-house, are fed; From them let us learn to trust for our bread: His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, So long as 'tis written, "The Lord will provide." 3 When Satan appears to close up our path, And fills us with fears, we triumph by faith; He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried, The heart-cheering promise, "The Lord will provide." 4 He tells us we're weak, our hope is in vain; The good that we seek we ne'er shall obtain: But when such suggestions our graces have tried, This answer all questions, "The Lord will provide." 5 No strength of our own, nor goodness, we claim, Our trust is all thrown on Jesus' dear name; In this our strong tower, for safety we hide, The Lord is our power--"The Lord will provide. 6 When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of his grace shall comfort us through; Not fearing or doubting, with Christ at our side, We'll still trust his promise, "The Lord will provide."

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: SDAH1886 #99 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee; Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty! God over all, who rules eternity. 2 Holy, holy, holy! angels adore thee, Casting down their bright crowns around the glassy sea; Thousands, and ten thousands worship low before thee, Which wert and art and evermore shalt be. 3 Holy, holy, holy! though darkness hide thee, Though the eyes of man thy great glory may not see; Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee, Perfect in power, in love and purity.

As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #100 (1886) Lyrics: 1 As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs, That sinks exhausted in the summer's chase, So pants my soul for thee, great King of kings, So thirst to reach thy sacred dwelling-place, 2 Lord, thy sure mercies, ever in my sight, My tender shall gladden through the tedious day; And 'midst the dark and gloomy shades of night, To thee, my God, I'll tune the grateful lay. 3 Why faith, my soul? why doubt Jehovah's aid? Thy God the God of mercy still shall prove; Within his courts thy thanks shall yet be paid; Unquestioned be his faithfulness and love.
