Sweet is the memory of thy grace

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 234 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the memory of thy grace, My God, my heavenly King; Let age to age thy righteousness In psalms of glory sing. 2 God reigns on high, but ne'er confines His goodness to the skies, Through the whole earth his bounty shines, And every want supplies. 3 With longing eyes thy creatures wait On thee for daily food; Thy liberal hand provides their meat, And fills their mouth with good. 4 How kind are thy compassions, Lord; How slow thine anger moves! But soon he sends his pardoning word To cheer the soul he loves. Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Used With Tune: ZERAH

O, how happy are they

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 707 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O, how happy are they Who their Saviour obey, And have laid up their treasure above! Tongue can never express The sweet, comfort and peace Of a soul in its earliest love. 2 That sweet comfort is mine, Since the favor divine I received through the blood of the Lamb; Since my heart first believed, What a joy I've received, What a heaven in Jesus' dear name! 3 'Tis a heaven below My Redeemer to know; And the angels can do nothing more Than to fall at his feet, And the story repeat, And the Lover of sinners adore. 4 Jesus all the day long Is my joy and my song; O that all to this refuge might fly! He hath loved me, indeed, He did suffer and bleed, To redeem such a rebel as I. 5 On the wings of his love, I am carried above All my sin, and temptation, and pain; O, that all would believe, And by sin never grieve, And thus cause him to suffer again.

Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux Appears in 562 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus , thou joy of loving hearts! Thou fount of life! thou light of men! From the best bliss that earth imparts, We turn unfilled to thee again. 2 Thy truth unchanged has ever stood; Thou savest those that on thee call; To them that seek thee, thou art good, To them that find thee, all in all. 3 We taste thee, O thou Living Bread, And long to feast upon thee still; We drink of thee, the Fountain-head, And thirst our souls from thee to fill! 4 Our restless spirits yearn for thee, Where'er our changeful lot is cast; Glad, when they gracious smile we see, Blest, when our faith can hold thee fast. 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay; Make all our moments calm and bright; Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world thy holy light!

Wonder of the countless spheres!

Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wonder of the countless spheres! See the Son of God in tears! He by whom the worlds were made, He on whom our sins were laid. 2 See him bear the cross of shame; Hear the world revile his name: Lo! he dies that we may live, All who on his name believe. 3 In the tomb behold him laid Whom the universe obeyed; See him rise, ascend to God, There to plead his precious blood. 4 Now he stands before the throne, Pleading for his loved, his own: "Father, I my life-blood gave These to ransom, these to save." 5 "If I go I'll come again," Preach this gospel to all men; Now redemption's work goes on, Then redemption's work is done.
