Like sheep we went astray

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #246 (1835) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Grace tried by afflictions; Afflictions trying our graces; Trial of our graces by afflictions Lyrics: Like sheep we went astray, And broke the fold of God, Each wand'ring in a diff'rent way, But all the downward road. How dreadful was the hour When God our wand'rings laid, And did at once his vengeance pour, Upon the Shepherd's head! How glorious was the grace When Christ sustained the stroke His life and blood the Shepherd pays A ransom for the flock. His honor and his breath Were taken both away, Joined with the wicked in his death, And made as vile as they. But God shall raise his head O'er all the sons of men, And make him see a num'rous seed, To recompense his pain. "I'll give him," saith the Lord, A portion with the strong; He shall possess a large reward, And hold his honors long." Scripture: Isaiah 53:6-9 Languages: English

When on my head huge sorrows fell, I sought his heav'nly aid; He saved my sinking soul from hell, And death's eternal shade. If sin lay covered in my heart, While prayer employed my tongue, The Lord had shown me no regard, Nor I his praises sung. But God (his name be ever blest) Has set my spirit free; Nor turned from him my poor request, Nor turned his heart from me. Scripture: Psalm 66:13-20 Languages: English

And make me thy permanent home, And seal me eternally thine. Languages: English

Search, Lord, for thou canst tell; If aught can raise my passions thus, Or please my soul so well. 5 No, thou art precious to my heart, My portion and my joy; For ever let thy boundless grace My sweetest thoughts employ. 6 When nature faints, around my bed Let thy bright glories shine; And death shall all his terrors lose, In raptures so divine.

Grant us then the grace of giving With a spirit large and free, That our life and all our giving We may consecrate to Thee. 2 We are Thine, Thy mercy sought us, Found us in death's dreadful way, To the fold in safety brought us, Never more from Thee to stray. Thine own life Thou freely gavest As an offering on the cross For each sinner whom Thou savest From eternal shame and loss. 3 Blest by Thee with gifts and graces, May we heed Thy Church's call; Gladly in all times and places Give to Thee who givest all. Thou hast bought us, and no longer Can we claim to be our own; Ever free and ever stronger, We shall serve Thee, Lord, alone. 4 Saviour, Thou hast freely given All the blessings we enjoy, Earthly store and bread of heaven, Love and peace without alloy; Humbly now we bow before Thee, And our all to Thee resign; For the kingdom, power, and glory, Are, O Lord, for ever Thine.
