O very God of very God
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O very God of very God,
and very Light of Light,
whose feet this earth's dark valley trod
that so it might be bright:
2 Our hopes are weak, our fears are strong,
thick darkness blinds our eyes;
cold is the night; thy people long
that thou, their Sun, wouldst rise.
3 And even now, though dull and gray,
the east is brightening fast,
and kindling to the perfect day
that never shall be past.
4 O guide us till our path is done,
and we have reached the shore
where thou, our everlasting Sun,
art shining evermore!
5 We wait in faith, and turn our face
to where the daylight springs,
till thou shalt come our gloom to chase,
with healing in thy wings. Topics: The Christian Life Used With Tune: BANGOR
O very God of very God
Hark! from the Tombs a Doleful Sound
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 343 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hark! from the tombs a doleful sound;
My ears, attend the cry;
“Ye living men, come view the ground
Where you must shortly lie.
2. Princes, this clay must be your bed,
In spite of all your towers;
The tall, the wise, the reverend head
Must lie as low as ours!
3. Great God! is this our certain doom?
And are we still secure?
Still walking downward to our tomb,
And yet prepare no more?
4. Grant us the powers of quickening grace,
To fit our souls to fly,
Then, when we drop this dying flesh,
We’ll rise above the sky. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-9, Book II, number 63
Hark! from the Tombs a Doleful Sound
God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,128 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
2 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence
Faith sees a smiling face.
3 Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
4 You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessing on your head.

Terrible Thought! Shall I Alone
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Terrible thought! shall I alone—
Who may be saved—Shall I
Of all, alas! whom I have known,
Through sin for ever die?
2. While all my old companions dear,
With whom I once did live,
Joyful at God’s right hand appear,
A blessing to receive.
3. Shall I, amidst a ghastly band,
Dragged to the judgment seat,
Far on the left with horror stand,
My fearful doom to meet?
4. Ah, no! I still may turn and live,
For still His wrath delays;
He now vouchsafes a kind reprieve,
And offers me His grace.
5. I will accept His offers now,
From every sin depart,
Perform my oft-repeated vow
And render Him my heart.
6. I will improve what I receive,
The grace through Jesus giv’n;
Sure, if with God on earth I live,
To live with Him in Heav’n. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Hymns for Children, 1763

O God of Mercy, Hear My Call
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 118 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God of mercy, hear my call,
My loads of guilt remove;
Break down this separating wall,
That bars me from my love.
2. Give me the presence of Thy grace,
Then my rejoicing tongue
Shall speak aloud Thy righteousness,
And make Thy praise my song.
3. No blood of goats nor heifers slain,
For sin could e’er atone;
The death of Christ shall still remain
Sufficient and alone.
4. A soul oppressed with sin’s desert,
My God will ne’er despise;
A humble groan, a broken heart,
Is our best sacrifice. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
