Unto thine altar Lord

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #12 (1812) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Unto thine altar Lord, A broken heart I bring; And wilt thou graciously accept Of such a worthless thing? 2 To CHRIST the bleeding lamb, My faith directs its eyes Thou may'st reject that worthless thing, But not his sacrifice. 3 When he gave up the Ghost, The law was satisfy'd; And now to its most rigorous claims, I answer, "JESUS died."

Almighty Maker, God!

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #15 (1812) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Almighty Maker, God! How wondrous is thy name! Thy glories now diffus'd abroad Thro' the creation's frame. 2 Nature in every dress Her humble homage pays, And finds a thousand ways t'express thine undissembled praise. 3 My soul would rise and sing To her Creator too, Fain would my tongue adore my King, And pay the worship due. 4 [But pride, that busy sin, Spoils all that I perform, Curs'd pride, that creeps securely in, And swells a haughty worm.] 5 Create my soul anew, Else all my worship's vain; This wretched heart will ne'er be true, Until 'tis formed again. 6 Let joy and worship spend The remnant of my days, And to my God, my soul ascend In sweet perfumes of praise.
