Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
3 He will not always chide;
He will with patience wait;
His wrath is ever slow to rise,
And ready to abate.
4 He pardons all thy sins,
Prolongs thy feeble breath:
He healeth thine infirmities,
And ransoms thee from death.
5 Then bless his holy name
Whose grace hath made thee whole,
Whose loving-kindness crowns thy days;
O bless the Lord, my soul!
651 S. M.
Bless his holy name.
Psalm 103:1.
Let every heart and tongue
Proclaim the Saviour’s praise;
He is the source of all my joy,
His mercy crowns my days.
2 He knows my feeble frame;
Remembers I am dust;
And though he should my life destroy,
In him I’ll put my trust.
3 Each day he is my strength,
My hope, my life, my all;
And while upon his arm I lean,
I surely can not fall.
4 Then to my blesséd Lord,
Let grateful songs arise,
While angels bear the notes above
And sound them through the skies.
652 S. M.
His compassions fail not.
Lam. 3:22.
How various and how new
Are thy compassions, Lord!
Each morning shall thy mercies show,
Each night thy truth record.
2 Thy goodness, like the sun,
Dawned on our early days,
Ere infant reason had begun
To form our lips to praise.
3 Each object we beheld
Gave pleasure to our eyes;
And nature all our senses held
In bands of sweet surprise.
4 But pleasures more refined
Awaited that blest day,
When light arose upon our mind
And chased our sins away.
5 How new thy mercies, then!
How sovereign and how free!
Our souls, that had been dead in sin,
Were made alive to thee.
653 7s.
Redeeming love.
Now begin the heavenly theme;
Sing aloud in Jesus’ name;
Ye who his salvation prove,
Triumph in redeeming love.
2 Ye who see the Father’s grace
Beaming in the Saviour’s face,
As to Canaan on ye move,
Praise and bless redeeming love.
3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears;
Banish all your guilty fears;
See your guilt and curse remove,
Canceled by redeeming love.
4 Welcome, all by sin oppressed,
Welcome to his sacred rest;
Nothing brought him from above,
Nothing but redeeming love.
5 Hither, then, your music bring;
Strike aloud each cheerful string;
Mortals, join the host above—
Join to praise redeeming love.
654 7s.
They shall come to Zion with songs.
Isaiah 35:10
Songs of praise awoke the morn
When the Prince of Peace was born;
Songs of praise arose, when he
Captive led captivity.
