Romans 1:9

• [Rom 1:9] God, In The Gospel Of His Son

  God, in the Gospel of His Son, Makes His eternal counsels known; Where love in all its glory shines, And truth is drawn in fairest lines. Here sinners of a humble frame May taste His grace, and learn His Name; May read, in characters of blood, The wisdom, power, and grace of God. The prisoner here may break his chains; The weary rest from all his pains; The captive feel his bondage cease; The mourner find the way of peace. Here faith reveals to mortal eyes A brighter world beyond the skies; Here shines the light which guides our way From earth to realms of endless day. O grant us grace, Almighty Lord, To read and mark Thy holy Word; Its truths with meekness to receive, And by Its holy precepts live.

Romans 1:17

• [Rom 1:17] If, On A Quiet Sea

  If, on a quiet sea, toward Heaven we calmly sail, With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee, We’ll own the favoring gale, With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee, We’ll own the favoring gale. But should the surges rise, and rest delay to come, Blest be the tempest, kind the storm, Which drives us nearer home, Blest be the tempest, kind the storm, Which drives us nearer home. Soon shall our doubts and fears all yield to Thy control; Thy tender mercies shall illume The midnight of the soul, Thy tender mercies shall illume The midnight of the soul. Teach us, in every state, to make Thy will our own; And when the joys of sense depart, To live by faith alone, And when the joys of sense depart, To live by faith alone.
