• [Psa 36:1] Trespass Of The Wicked Man, The

  The trespass of the wicked man Most plainly testifies That fear of God’s most holy Name Is not before his eyes. He cherishes the empty hope, Although his sin be great, It never shall be brought to light And viewed with righteous hate. The words he utters with his mouth Are wickedness and lies; He keeps himself from doing good, And ceases to be wise. While on his bed his thought he gives To planning wickedness; He sets himself in evil ways, He shuns not to transgress.

• [Psa 36:1] While Men Grow Bold In Wicked Ways

  While men grow bold in wicked ways, And yet a God they own, My heart within me often says, “Their thoughts believe there’s none.” Their thoughts and ways at once declare, Whate’er their lips profess, God hath no wrath for them to fear, Nor will they seek His grace. What strange self-flattery blinds their eyes! But there’s a hastening hour, When they shall see with sore surprise The terrors of Thy power. Thy justice shall maintain its throne, Though mountains melt away; Thy judgments are a world unknown, A deep, unfathomed sea. Above the heav’ns’ created rounds, Thy mercies, Lord, extend; Thy truth outlives the narrow bounds Where time and nature end. Safety to man Thy goodness brings, Nor overlooks the beast; Beneath the shadow of Thy wings Thy children choose to rest. From Thee, when creature-streams run low. And mortal comforts die, Perpetual springs of life shall flow, And raise our pleasures high. Though all created light decay, And death close up our eyes, Thy presence makes eternal day, Where clouds can never rise.

• [Psa 36:5] Thy Mercy And Thy Truth, O Lord

  Thy mercy and Thy truth, O Lord, Transcend the lofty sky; Thy judgments are a mighty deep, And as the mountains high. Lord, Thou preservest man and beast; Since Thou art ever kind; Beneath the shadow of Thy wings We may a refuge find. With the abundance of Thy house We shall be satisfied, From rivers of unfailing joy Our thirst shall be supplied. The fountain of eternal life Is found alone with Thee, And in the brightness of Thy light We clearly light shall see. From those that know Thee may Thy love And mercy ne’er depart, And may Thy justice still protect And bless the upright heart. The workers of iniquity Are fallen utterly; They shall not triumph in their pride, Or drive my soul from Thee.

• [Psa 36:5] Thy Mercy Lord, Is In The Heav’ns

  Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav’ns; Thy truth doth reach the clouds; Thy justice is like mountains great; Thy judgments deep as floods. Lord, Thou preservest man and beast; How precious is Thy grace! Therefore in shadow of Thy wings, Men’s sons their trust shall place. They with the fatness of Thy house Shall be well satisfied; From rivers of Thy pleasure Thou Wilt drink to them provide. Because of life the fountain pure Remains alone with Thee; And in that purest light of Thine We clearly light shall see.

• [Psa 36:6] High In The Heavens, Eternal God

  High in the heav’ns, eternal God, Thy goodness in full glory shines; Thy truth shall break through every cloud That veils and darkens Thy designs. Forever firm Thy justice stands, As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of Thy hands; Thy judgments are a mighty deep. Thy providence is kind and large Both man and beast Thy bounty share; The whole creation is Thy charge, But saints are Thy peculiar care. My God, how excellent Thy grace, Whence all our hope and comfort spring! The sons of Adam in distress Fly to the shadow of Thy wing. From the provisions of Thy house We shall be fed with sweet repast; There mercy like a river flows, And brings salvation to our taste. Life, like a fountain, rich and free, Springs from the presence of the Lord; And in Thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in Thy Word.

• [Psa 36:7] Brood O’er Us With Thy Sheltering Wing

  Brood o’er us with Thy sheltering wing, ’Neath which our spirits blend Like brother birds, that soar and sing, And on the same branch bend. The arrow that doth wound the dove Darts not from those who watch and love. If thou the bending reed would break By thought or word unkind, Pray that His Spirit you partake, Who loved and healed mankind: Seek holy thoughts and heavenly strain, That make men one in love remain. Learn, too, that wisdom’s rod is given For faith to kiss, and know; That greetings glorious from high heaven, Whence joys supernal flow, Come from that Love, divinely near, Which chastens pride and earthborn fear. Through God, who gave that word of might Which swelled creation’s lay: “Let there be light, and there was light.” What chased the clouds away? ’Twas Love whose finger traced aloud A bow of promise on the cloud. Thou to whose power our hope we give, Free us from human strife. Fed by Thy love divine we live, For Love alone is life; And life most sweet, as heart to heart Speaks kindly when we meet and part.

• [Psa 36:9] After The Life-paths

  After the lifepaths we’re treading End upon time’s solemn shore, There will be light at the river While the redeemed ones pass o’er. Refrain There will be light at the river, There will be light at the river, There will be light at the river, While the redeemed ones pass o’er. There will be light for the spirits Who thro’ deep shadows have come— Fadeless light shining glad welcome Out from the windows of home. Refrain There will be light for the weary Who thro’ sore trials have passed— Radiant light as they enter, Peace that for ever shall last. Refrain There will be light for the faithful, Whate’er the way they have trod— Glorious light sent to guide them Safe to the city of God. Refrain

• [Psa 36:9] Come To The Fountain

  Come with thy sins to the fountain, Come with thy burden of grief; Bury them deep in its waters, There thou wilt find a relief. Refrain Haste thee away, why wilt thou stay? Risk not thy soul on a moment’s delay; Jesus is waiting to save thee, Mercy is pleading today. Come as thou art to the fountain, Jesus is waiting for thee; What though thy sins are like crimson, White as the snow they shall be. Refrain These are the words of the Savior; They who repent and believe, They who are willing to trust Him, Life at His hand shall receive. Refrain Come and be healed at the fountain, List to the peace speaking voice; Over a sinner returning Now let the angels rejoice. Refrain

• [Psa 36:9] Morn Of Morns, And Day Of Days

  Morn of morns, and day of days! Beauteous were thy newborn rays: Brighter yet from death’s dark prison Christ, the Light of lights, is risen. He commanded, and His Word Death and the dread chaos heard; Oh, shall we, more deaf than they, In the chains of darkness stay? Nature yet in shadow lies; Let the sons of light arise, And present the morning rays With sweet canticles of praise. While the dead world sleeps around, Let the sacred temples sound Law, and prophet, and blest psalm Lit with holy light so calm. Unto hearts in slumber weak Let the heavenly trumpet speak; And a newer walk express Their new life to righteousness. Grant us this, and with us be, O Thou Fount of charity, Thou Who dost the Spirit give, Bidding the dead letter live. Glory to the Father, Son, And to Thee, O Holy One, By Whose quickening breath divine Our dull spirits turn and shine.

• [Psa 36:9] Thou Art, O God, The Life And Light

  Thou art, O God, the Life and Light Of all this wondrous world we see; Its glow by day, its smile by night, Are but reflections caught from Thee; Where’er we turn, Thy glories shine, And all things fair and bright are Thine. When day, with farewell beam, delays Among the opening clouds of even, And we can almost think we gaze Through golden vistas into Heaven, Those hues, that make the sun’s decline So soft, so radiant, Lord, are Thine. When night with wings of starry gloom O’ershadows all the earth and skies, Like some dark beauteous bird whose plume Is sparkling with unnumbered eyes— That sacred gloom, those fires divine, So grand, so countless, Lord, are Thine. When youthful spring around us breathes, Thy Spirit warms her fragrant sigh, And every flower the summer wreathes Is born beneath that kindling eye— Where’er we turn, Thy glories shine, And all things fair and bright are Thine.
