11. Hymn: When I Survey The Wondrous Cross

Hymn: When I Survey The Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

1. When I survey the wondrous cross
    On which the Prince of glory died,
    My richest gain I count but loss,
    And pour contempt on all my pride.

2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
    Save in the death of Christ my God!
    All the vain things that charm me most,
    I sacrifice them to His blood.

3. See from His head, His hands, His feet,
    Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
    Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
    Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

4. Were the whole realm of nature mine,
    That were a present far too small;
    Love so amazing, so divine,
    Demands my soul, my life, my all.

9. Hymn: At the Cross

Hymn: At the Cross

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

1. Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
    And did my Sovereign die?
    Would He devote that sacred head
    For such a worm as I?

Refrain:

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,

And the burden of my heart rolled away-

It was there by faith I received my sight,

And now I am happy all the day!

2. Was it for crimes that I have done
    He groaned upon the tree?
    Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
    And love beyond degree!

3. But drops of grief can ne‵er repay
    The debt of love I owe:
    Here, Lord, I give myself away -
    ‵Tis all that I can do!

1. Hymn: To Heav'n I Lift My Waiting Eyes

To Heav'n I Lift My Waiting Eyes

Author: Issac Watts

1. To heav'n I lift my waiting eyes,
    There all my hopes are laid:
    The Lord that built the earth and skies
    Is my perpetual aid.

2. Their steadfast feet shall never fall,
    Whom he designs to keep;
    His ear attends the softest call;
    His eyes can never sleep.

3. He will sustain our weakest pow'rs
    With his almighty arm,
    And watch our most unguarded hours
    Against surprising harm.

4. Isra'l rejoice, and rest secure,
    Thy keeper is the Lord;
    His wakeful eyes employ his pow'r
    For thine eternal guard.

5. Nor scorching sun, nor sickly moon,
    Shall have his leave to smite;
    He shields thy head from burning noon,
    From blasting damps at night.

6. He guards thy soul, he keeps thy breath,
    Where thickest dangers come:
    Go and return, secure from death,
    Till God commands thee home.

2. Hymn: Now Shall My Inward Joys Arise

Now Shall My Inward Joys Arise

Author: Issac Watts

Tune: AFRICA, by William Billings

(Vocal)

1. Now shall my inward joys arise,
    And burst into a song;
    Almighty love inspires my heart,
    And pleasure tunes my tongue.

2. God on his thirsty Zion hill
    Some mercy drops has thrown,
    And solemn oaths have bound his love
    To shower salvation down.

3. Why do we then indulge our fears,
    Suspicions, and complaints?
    Is he a God, and shall his grace
    Grow weary of his saints?

4. Can a kind woman e'er forget
    The infant of her womb?
    And 'mongst a thousand tender thoughts
    Her suckling have no room?

5. "Yet," saith the Lord, "should nature change,
    And mothers monsters prove,
    Zion still dwells upon the heart
    Of everlasting love.

6. "Deep on the palms of both my hands
    I have engraved her name;
    My hands shall raise her ruined walls,
    And build her broken frame?"

5. Hymn: Consider All My Sorrows, Lord!

Consider All My Sorrows, Lord!

Author: Isaac Watts

1. Consider all my sorrows, Lord!
    And thy deliv'rance send.
    My soul for thy salvation faints;
    When will my troubles end?

2. Yet I have found, 'tis good for me
    To bear my Father's rod;
    Afflictions make me learn thy law,
    And live upon my God.

3. This is the comfort I enjoy
    When new distress begins;
    I read thy word, I run thy ways,
    And hate my former sins.

4. Had not thy word been my delight,
    When earthly joys were fled;
    My soul, oppress'd with sorrow's weight
    Had sunk amongst the dead.

5. I know, thy judgments, Lord! are right,
    Though they may seem severe;
    The sharpest suff'rings I endure
    Flow from thy faithful care.

4. Hymn: O That The Lord Would Guide My Ways

O That The Lord Would Guide My Ways

Author: Isaac Watts

Tune: DOWNS, by Lowell Mason

(Vocal)

1. O that the Lord would guide my ways
    To keep his statutes still!
    O that my God would grant me grace
    To know and do his will!

2. O send thy Spirit down to write
    Thy law upon my heart!
    Nor let my tongue indulge deceit,
    Nor act the liar's part.

3. From vanity turn off my eyes;
    Let no corrupt design,
    Nor covetous desires, arise
    Within this soul of mine.

4. Order my footsteps by thy word,
    And make my heart sincere;
    Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
    But keep my conscience clear.

5. My soul hath gone too far astray,
    My feet too often slip;
    Yet since I've not forgot thy way,
    Restore thy wand'ring sheep.

6. Make me to walk in thy commands,
    'Tis a delightful road;
    Nor let my head, or heart, or hands,
    Offend against my God.
