Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Come, alll ye people, bless our God Lyrics: 1 Come, all ye people, bless our God
And tell His glorious praise abroad,
Who holds our souls in life;
Who never lets our feet be moved
And, though our faith He oft has proved,
Upholds us in the strife.
2 We come with off'rings to His house,
And here we pay the solemn vows
We uttered in distress;
To Him our all we dedicate,
To Him we wholly consecrate
The lives His mercies bless.
3 Come, hear, all ye that fear the Lord,
While I with grateful heart record
What God has done for me;
I cried to Him in deep distress,
And now His wondrous grace I bless,
For He has set me free.
4 The Lord, Who turns away the plea
Of those who love iniquity,
Has answered my request;
He has not turned away my prayer,
His grace and love He makes me share;
His Name be ever blest.

The Living Principle Of Grace
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The living principle of grace,
The faith producing holiness,
Now in our hearts doth dwell;
And still it shall in us abide,
’Till saved, and wholly sanctified,
We all Thy fullness feel.
2 Jesus, we steadfastly believe,
The grace Thou dost this moment give,
Thou wilt the next bestow;
Wilt keep us every moment here,
And show Thyself the Finisher,
And never let us go. Used With Tune: ADOWA Text Sources: Short Hymns on Select Passages of Holy Scripture (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1762)
The Living Principle Of Grace
Whene'er I Look Into Thy Word
Author: Samuel Pearce, 1766-1799 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: Whene’er I look into Thy word Lyrics: 1 Whene’er I look into Thy word,
And read about my dearest Lord,
The friend of sinful man,
And trace my Savior’s footsteps there;
What humble love, what holy fear,
Through all His conduct ran!
2 If I regard the matchless grace
He showed unto the human race,
How He for them became
A poor sojourner here below,
Oppressed by pain and sorrow too,
I can’t but love His name.
3 And when I view His love to God,
Those steps in which the Savior trod,
I long to tread them too;
I long to be inspired with zeal,
To execute my Father’s will,
As Jesus used to do.
4 I read, that He on duty bent,
To lonely places often went,
To seek His Father there:
The early morn and dewy ground
Can witness, they the Savior found,
Engaged in fervent prayer.
5 And did my Savior use to pray,
Before the light unveiled the day;
And shall I backward be?
No, dearest Lord, forbid the thought,
Help me to fight as Jesus fought,
Each foe that hinders me.
6 And you, my friends, who love His name,
Who love to imitate the Lamb,
And more of Jesus know;
Come let us all surround His throne,
And see what blessings on His own
Our Savior will bestow.
7 Though fears be great, temptations strong,
And though we oft have waited long,
Perhaps He may design
This morn to give each soul to see,
And say with Paul, "He died for me,"
And my Redeemer’s mine.
8 Now cheerful we’ll begin to pray,
That He will wash our sins away
In His atoning blood;
That He His blessing may bestow,
And give each sinner here to know
That he’s a child of God. Used With Tune: ADOWA
Whene'er I Look Into Thy Word
In Patient Faith, Till Christ Shall Come
Author: John Moultrie Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 In patient faith, till Christ shall come
To call His duteous servants home,
Our hearts and minds we keep;
Still looking for that glorious day
When heav’n and earth shall melt away
And saints awake from sleep.
2 And signs there be, in this late time,
Once more of hopes reviving prime,
As in redemption’s morn;
The feverish earth doth shake again,
Groaning and travailing in pain,
Till some new change be born.
3 With no unheedful hearts we hear
The mutterings of convulsion near,
And terror soon to be.
Hosts gathering for the final strife
Of light and darkness, death and life,
With breathless awe we see.
4 We know that fearful darkness soon
Shall veil the face of sun and moon,
The stars forsake their spheres;
The powers of heav’n, with fear aghast,
They tremble, quake, until at last
Christ’s sign in heav’n appears.
5 Then earth’s rebellious tribes shall wail,
And sinful hearts with terror fail:
While saints, despised so long,
From east and west, and south and north,
By angel trumpets summoned forth—
Raise one triumphant song.

In Patient Faith, Till Christ Shall Come
Be It My Only Wisdom Here
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Be it my only wisdom here,
To serve the Lord with filial fear,
With loving gratitude;
Superior sense may I display
By shunning every evil way,
And walking in the good.
2 O may I still from sin depart;
A wise and understanding heart,
Jesus, to me be giv’n!
And let me through Thy Spirit know,
To glorify my God below,
And find my way to Heav’n. Used With Tune: ADOWA Text Sources: Short Hymns, 1762
Be It My Only Wisdom Here
Come, Lord, And Help Me To Rejoice
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, and help me to rejoice,
In hope that I shall hear Thy voice,
Shall one day see my God;
Shall cease from all my sin and strife,
Shall touch and taste the word of life,
And feel the sprinkled blood.
2 I shall not always make my moan,
Nor worship Thee a God unknown,
But I shall live to prove
Thy people’s rest, and saint’s delight,
The length, and breadth, and depth, and height,
Of Thy redeeming love.
3 I cannot love Thee little, Lord,
Whenever by Thy grace restored,
I taste how good Thou art:
Much shall I love, or not at all,
Forgiven much, I surely shall
Love Thee with all my heart.
4 O glorious hope of perfect love!
It lifts me up to things above;
It bears on eagle’s wings.
It gives my ravished soul a taste,
And makes me for some moments feast
With Jesus’ priests and kings.
5 Rejoicing now in earnest hope,
I stand, and from the mountain top
See all the land below;
Rivers of milk and honey rise,
And all the fruits of paradise
In endless plenty grow.
6 A land of corn, and wine, and oil,
So favored with God’s loving smile,
With every blessing blest;
There dwells the Lord, our righteousness,
And keeps His own in perfect peace,
And everlasting rest.
7 O that I might at once go up,
No more by Jordan’s side to stop,
But now the land possess;
This moment end my legal years,
My sorrows, sins, my doubts and fears,
A howling wilderness!
8 Now, O my Joshua, bring me in,
Cast out my foes; the inbred sin,
The carnal mind remove:
The purchase of Thy death divide,
And O! with all the sanctified
Give me Thy land of love. Used With Tune: ADOWA Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems (Bristol, England: Felix Farley, printer, 1742)
