Oft have they pierced my soul with pain, And drawn my heart astray. How have I wandered from my God! And, following sin and shame, In this vile world of flesh and blood Defiled my nobler frame! For ever blessed be thy grace That formed my soul anew, And made it of a heav'n-born race, Thy glory to pursue. My spirit holds perpetual war, And wrestles and complains; But views the happy moment near That shall dissolve its chains. Cheerful in death I close my eyes To part with every lust; And charge my flesh, whene'er it rise, To leave them in the dust. My purer spirit shall not fear To put this body on; Its tempting powers no more are there, Its lusts and passions gone! Scripture: Romans 8:1 Languages: English

By your gospel pure and holy, teach us, Lord, to love you solely. 2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight lie in deepest darkness shrouded, till your Spirit breaks our night with your beams of truth unclouded. You alone to God can win us; you must work all good within us. 3 Glorious Lord, yourself impart; Light of Light, from God proceeding, open lips and ears and heart; help us by your Spirit's leading. Hear the cry your church now raises; Lord, accept our prayers and praises. Scripture: Psalm 119:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: LIEBSTER JESU

Psalm 10

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.21 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Hearing of prayer and salvation First Line: Why doth the Lord stand off so far? Lyrics: Why doth the Lord stand off so far? And why conceal his face, When great calamities appear, And times of deep distress? Lord, shall the wicked still deride Thy justice and thy power? Shall they advance their heads in pride, And still thy saints devour? They put thy judgments from their sight, And then insult the poor; They boast in their exalted height, That they shall fall no more. Arise, O God, lift up thine hand, Attend our humble cry; No enemy shall dare to stand When God ascends on high. Why do the men of malice rage, And say, with foolish pride, "The God of heav'n will ne'er engage To fight on Zion's side?" But thou for ever art our Lord; And powerful is thine hand, As when the heathens felt thy sword, And perished from thy land. Thou wilt prepare our hearts to pray, And cause thine ear to hear; He hearkens what his children say, And puts the world in fear. Proud tyrants shall no more oppress, No more despise the just; And mighty sinners shall confess They are but earth and dust. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English

How beauteous are their feet

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #123 (1835) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Hearing of prayer and salvation Lyrics: How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal! How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Savior King; He reigns and triumphs here." How happy are our ears That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! How blessed are our eyes That see this heav'nly light Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight. The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. The Lord makes bare his arm Through all the earth abroad; Let every nation now behold Their Savior and their God! Scripture: Matthew 13:16-17 Languages: English

The Glories of thy heav'nly State Let Men and Babes proclaim. 2 When I behold thy Works on high, The Moon that rules the Night, And Stars that well adorn the Sky, Those moving Worlds of Light; 3 Lord, what is Man, or all his Race, Who dwells so far below, That thou shouldst visit him with Grace, And love his Nature so? 4 That thine eternal Son should bear To take a mortal Form, Made lower than his Angels are, To save a dying Worm. 5 [Yet while he liv'd on Earth unknown, And Men would not adore, Th' obedient Seas and Fishes own His Godhead and his Pow'r. 6 The Waves lay spread beneath his Feet, And Fish at his Command, Bring their large Shoals to Peter's Net, Bring Tribute to his Hand. 7 These lesser Glories of the Son Shone through the fleshly Cloud; Now we behold him on his Throne, And Men confess him GOD.] 8 Let him be crown'd with Majesty, Who bow'd his Head to Death; And be his Honours sounded high, By all Things that have Breath. 9 JESUS, our Lord, how wond'rous great Is thine exalted Name! The Glories of thy heav'nly State Let the whole Earth proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 8 Languages: English
