Thou hast granted my appeal, thou hast heard me; thou didst note my ardent zeal, thou hast spared me. 2 Wherefore with my utmost art, I will sing thee, and the cream of all my heart I will bring thee. Though my sins against me cried, thou didst clear me, and alone, when they replied, thou didst hear me. 3 Sev'n whole days, not one in sev'n, I will praise thee; in my heart, though not in heav'n, I can raise thee. Small it is, in this poor sort to enrol thee: e'en eternity's too short to extol thee. Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Used With Tune: GWALCHMAI

It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds and drives away our fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; it satisfies the hungry soul, and gives the weary rest. 3 Dear Name, the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding-place; my never-failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace! 4 Jesus, my shepherd, brother, friend, my prophet, priest, and king; my Lord, my life, my way, my end — accept the praise I bring. 5 Weak is the effort of my heart, and cold my warmest thought; but when I see You as You are, I'll praise You as I ought. 6 Till then I would Your love proclaim with every fleeting breath; and may the music of Your name refresh my soul in death.
