O Righteous God, Thou Judge Supreme
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O righteous God, Thou judge supreme,
We tremble at Thy dreadful name,
And all our crying guilt we own,
In dust and tears before Thy throne.
2 So manifold our crimes have been,
Such crimson tincture dyes our sin,
That, could we all its horrors know,
Our streaming eyes with blood might flow.
3 Britain, the land Thine arm hath saved,
That arm most impiously hath braved;
Britain, the isle its God hath loved,
A rebel to that love hath proved.
4 Estranged from reverential awe,
We trample on Thy sacred law;
And though such wonders grace hath done,
Anew we crucify Thy Son.
5 Justly might this polluted land
Prove all the vengeance of Thy hand;
And, bathed in Heaven Thy sword might come
To drink our blood, and seal our doom.
6 Yet hast Thou not a remnant here,
Whose souls are filled with pious fear?
O bring Thy wonted mercy nigh,
While prostrate at Thy feet they lie.
7 Behold their tears, attend their moan,
Nor turn away their secret groan;
With these we join in humble prayer:
Our nation shield, our country spare.
8 But if the sentence be decreed,
And our dear native land must bleed,
By Thy sure mark may we be known,
And save in life or death Thy own. Used With Tune: ALLMÄCHTIGER GOTT Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)

We praise, dear Lord, Thy Name divine,
For Thou hast triumphed o'er the tomb;
No more we need to dread its gloom.
2 The tree where Thou wast offered up
Now bears the fruit of life and hope:
Thy precious blood for us is shed,
Now we may feed on heav'nly bread.
3 We thank Thee, Jesus, that Thy hand
Has freed us from sin's galling band;
No more its thralldome we need fear;
The year of liberty is here.
4 O Jesus Christ, God's Son elect,
Our Paschal Lamb without defect,
To us Thou givest strength indeed,
In all our conflicts, all our need.
5 O grant, that as Thou didst arise,
We, too, with joy, may heavenward rise,
First from our sin, to love Thy way,
Then from the grave on that great Day.
6 All praise to Thee who from death's might,
From carnal lust and sin's dark plight
Redeemest me, that even I
May reach eternal life on high.

Wohl Dem, Der In Gottesfurcht Steht
Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wohl dem, der in Gottesfurcht steht,
Und der auf seinem Wege geht;
Dein eigen Hand dich nähren soll,
So lebst du recht und geht dir wohl.
2 Dein Weib wird in dei’m Hause sein
Wie ein’ Reben voll Trauben fein,
Und dein’ Kinder um deinen Tisch
Wie Ölpflanzen, gesund und frisch.
3 Sich so reich Segen hängt dem an,
Wo in Gottes Furcht lebt ein Mann,
Von ihm lässt der alt’ Fluch und Zorn,
Den Menschenkindern angebor’n.
4 Aus Zion wird Gott segnen dich,
Dass du wirst schauen stetiglich
Das Glück der Stadt Jerusalem,
Für Gott in Gnaden angenehm.
5 Fristen wird er das Leben dein
Und mit Güte stets bei dir sein,
Dass du sehen wirst Kindes Kind
Und dass Israel Friede findt. Used With Tune: ALLMÄCHTIGER GOTT Text Sources: Eyn Enchiridion (Erfurt, Germany: 1524)

Have Mercy, Lord, Thy Wrath Remove
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Have mercy, Lord, Thy wrath remove,
Nor let Thy judgments weigh me down;
I cannot live without Thy love,
I cannot stand beneath Thy frown.
2 Wilt Thou not once Thy face display,
And dart a ray of heavenly light?
Still must I urge my cheerless way,
And mourn throughout my long-lived night?
3 Lo! In my prayer I ever mourn,
Vexed with the sad remains of sin,
Broken, and bruised, and racked, and torn,
How shall I bear this hell within?
4 This unbelief, these cruel fears,
Distracting doubts, and torturing pain,
While Thou art silent at my tears,
Thou see’st them ever flow in vain.
5 And must I yield to black despair?
In vain on Thee for mercy call,
Tempted above what I can bear!
And wilt Thou suffer me to fall?
6 Never again disclose Thy face,
Or show me the atoning blood?
Have I exhausted all Thy grace?
Hath God forgotten to be good?
7 Forever is Thy mercy gone,
Thy truth, and faithfulness, and love?
Doth angry justice rule alone?
Have I no advocate above?
8 Then pour Thy vengeance on my head,
And quench the smoking flax in me,
Break (if Thou canst) a bruisèd reed,
And cast me out who come to Thee.
9 Jesu, I come my doom to meet,
A sinner whom Thou wilt not spare:
But I will perish at Thy feet,
The first that ever perished there!

Have Mercy, Lord, Thy Wrath Remove
When Joshua, By God's Command
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: When Joshua, by God’s command Lyrics: 1 When Joshua, by God’s command,
Invaded Canaan’s guilty land;
Gibeon, unlike the nations round,
Submission made and mercy found.
2 Their stubborn neighbors who, enraged,
United war against them waged,
By Joshua soon were overthrown,
For Gibeon’s cause was now his own.
3 He, from whose arm they ruin feared,
Their leader and ally appeared;
An emblem of the Savior’s grace,
To those who humbly seek His face.
4 The men of Gibeon wore disguise,
And gained their peace by framing lies;
For Joshua had no power to spare,
If he had known from whence they were.
5 But Jesus invitations sends,
Treating with rebels as His friends;
And holds the promise forth in view,
To all who for His mercy sue.
6 Too long His goodness I disdained,
Yet went at last and peace obtained;
But soon the noise of war I heard,
And former friends in arms appeared.
7 Weak in myself for help I cried,
"Lord, I am pressed on every side;
The cause is Thine: They fight with me,
But every blow is aimed at Thee." Used With Tune: ALMÄCHTITER GOTT Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1

Lob Sei Dem Allmächtigen Gott
Author: Michael Weisse Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lob sei dem allmächtigen Gott,
Der unser sich erbarmet hat,
Gesandt sein’n allerliebsten Sohn
Aus ihm gebor’n im höchsten Thron.
2 Auf daß er unser Heiland würd,
Uns freiet von der Sündenbürd,
Und durch sein Gnade und Wahrheit,
Führet zur ewigen Klarheit.
3 O große Gnad und Gütigkeit!
O tiefe Lieb und Mildigkeit!
Gott thut ein Werk, das ihm kein Mann,
Auch kein Engel verdanken kann.
4 Gott nimmt an sich unsre Natur,
Der Schöpfer aller Kreatur;
Er veracht’t nicht ein armes Weib,
Mensch zu werden in ihrem Leib.
5 Des Vaters Wort von Ewigkeit
Wird Fleisch in aller Reinigkeit;
Das A und O, Anfang und End,
Giebt sich für uns in groß Elend.
6 Was ist der Mensch, was ist sein Thun,
Daß Gott für ihn giebt seinen Sohn!
Was darf unser das höchste Gut,
Daß er solch’s unserthalben thut?
7 O weh dem Volk! das dich veracht’t,
Der Gnad sich nicht theilhastig macht,
Nicht hören will des Sohnes Stimm!
Denn auf ihm bleibet Gottes Grimm.
8 O Mensch! wie? daß du nicht verstehst
Und dem König entgegen gehst,
Der dir so ganz demüthig kommt
Und sich dein so treulich annimmt.
9 Ei, nimm ihn heut mit Freuden an,
Bereit ihm deines Herzens Bahn,
Auf daß er komm in dein Gemüth,
Und du genießest seiner Güt.
10 Unterwirf ihm deine Vernunft
In dieser gnadenreichen Zukunft,
Untergieb seiner Heiligkeit
Die Werk deiner Gerechtigkeit.
11 Wo du dies thust, so ist er dein,
Bewahrt dich für der Höllenpein;
Wo nicht, so sieh dich ehen für,
Denn er schleußt dir des Himmels Thür.
12 Sein erste Zukunft in die Welt
Ist in sanftmüthiger Gestalt,
Die ander wird erschrecklich sein,
Den Gottlosen zu großer Pein.
13 Die aber jetzt in Christo stehn,
Werden alsdenn zur Freud eingehn,
Und besitzen der Engel Chor,
Daß sie kein Uebel mehr berühr.
14 Dem Vater in dem höchsten Thron,
Sammt seinem eingebornen Sohn,
Dem heilgen Geist gleicher Weis,
In Ewigkeit sei Dank und Preis. Used With Tune: ALLMÄCHTIGER GOTT

Blood Has A Voice To Pierce The Skies
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blood has a voice to pierce the skies,
"Revenge!" the blood of Abel cries;
But the dear stream when Christ was slain
Speaks peace as loud from every vein.
2 Pardon and peace from God on high;
Behold, He lays His vengeance by,
And rebels that deserved His sword
Become the favorites of the Lord.
3 To Jesus let our praises rise
Who gave His life a sacrifice;
Now He appears before His God,
And for our pardon pleads His blood. Used With Tune: ALLMÄCHTIGER GOTT Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-09, Book II
