My soul, repeat His praise

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 467 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise, Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And when His wrath is felt, His strokes are fewer than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heavens are raised, Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His grace subdues our sins; And His forgiving love Far as the east is from the west Doth all our guilt remove. 5 The pity of the Lord, To those that fear His name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 6 Our days as are the grass, Or like the morning flower; If one sharp blast sweep o’er the field It withers in an hour. 7 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children’s children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

Nor let His mercies lie Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die. 3 'Tis He forgives thy sins; 'Tis He relieves thy pain; 'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses, And gives thee strength again. 4 He crowns thy life with love When rescued from the grave; He that redeemed our souls from death Hath boundless power to save. 5 He fills the poor with good; He gives the sufferers rest. The Lord hath judgments for the proud And mercy for th'oppressed. 6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known, But sent the world His truth and grace By His beloved Son.

Begin my soul, th' exalted lay

Appears in 210 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Begin, my soul, th' exalted lay; Let each enraptured thought obey, And praise the Almighty's name: Lo! heaven and earth, and seas and skies, In one melodious concert rise, To swell the inspiring theme. 2 Ye angels, catch the thrilling sound, While all the adoring thrones around His boundless mercy sing: Let every listening saint above Wake all the tuneful soul of love, And touch the sweetest string. 3 Let every element rejoice; Ye thunders, burst with awful voice To Him who bids you roll: His praise, in softer notes, declare Each whispering breeze of yielding air, And breathe it to the soul. 4 Wake, all ye soaring tribes, and sing; Ye cheerful warblers of the spring, Harmonious anthems raise To Him, who shaped your finer mould-- Who tipped your glittering wings with gold, And tuned your voice to praise. 5 Let man, by noblest passions swayed, The feeling heart, the judging head, In heavenly praise employ: Spread the Creator's name around, Till heaven's broad arch rings back the sound-- The general burst of joy.

How condescending and how kind

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind Was God’s eternal Son! Our misery reached His heavenly mind, And pity brought Him down. 2 This was compassion like a God, That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was His blood, His pity ne’er withdrew. 3 Now, though He reigns exalted high, His love is still as great: Well He remembers Calvary, Nor let His saints forget. 4 Here we receive repeated seals Of Jesus’ dying love: Hard is the wretch that never feels One soft affection move. 5 Here let our hearts begin to melt, While we His death record, And with our joy for pardoned guilt, Mourn that we pierced the Lord.
