We're in a world of hopes and fears
What are those soul-reviving strains
What glory gilds the sacred page
What heavenly light is that which shines
What shall we ask of God in prayer
What works of wisdom, power and love
When all thy mercies, O my God
When, as returns this solemn day
When at a distance, Lord, we trace
When before thy throne we kneel
When darkness long has veiled my mind
When dread misfortune's tempests rise.
When gathering clouds around I view
When God descends with men to dwell.
When God revealed his gracious name
When I can read my title clear.
When in the vale of lengthened years
When Israel through the desert passed
When I the holy grave survey
When musing sorrow weeps the past.
When sinners quit their wicked ways
When some kind shepherd from his fold
When the vale of death appears

Wherefore should man, frail child of clay.
Wherewith shall I approach the Lord
While here as wandering sheep we stray
While my Redeemer's near

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

While sounds of war are heard around

While through this changing world we roam

While with remorse and woe oppressed

[ocr errors]

While yet the youthful spirit bears.
Whilst thee I seek, protecting Power
Who has believed thy word
Who shall towards thy chosen seat.
Why does your face, ye humble souls
Why do we mourn departing friends
Why should we start and fear to die
Why sinks my weak, desponding mind
With all our hearts, with all our powers
With cheerful voices rise and sing
With glory clad, with strength arrayed
With heavenly power, O Lord, defend
With humble heart and tongue
With joy we meditate the grace

With mines of wealth are sinners poor
With reverence let the saints appear
With sacred joy we lift our eyes
With songs and honors sounding loud.
With stately towers and bulwarks strong

With transport, Lord, our souls proclaim
With warm delight and grateful joy
Worthy the Lamb of boundless sway.
Would you behold the works of God

YE boundless realms of joy

Ye faithful souls, who Jesus know
Ye followers of the Prince of Peace
Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell
Ye messengers of Christ

Ye mourning ones, whose streaming tears
Ye realms below the skies

Ye sons of men, with joy record
Ye thirsty souls, approach the spring
Ye trembling souls, dismiss your fears
Yet, saith the Lord, if David's race
Ye worlds of light, that roll so near
Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor
Yonder, amazing sight! I see
