O thou, the wretched's sure retreat

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #57 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Character and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 O thou, the wretched's sure retreat, who dost their cares controul, And, with the cheerful smile of peace, Revive the fainting soul! 2 Did ever thy propitious ear The humble plea disdain? Or when did plaintive mis'ry sigh, Or supplicate, in vain? 3 Opprest with grief and shame, dissolv'd In penitential tears, Thy goodness calms our anxious doubts, And dissipates our fears. 4 Now life from thy refreshing grace, Our sinking hearts receive; Thy gentlest, best-lov'd attribute, To pity and forgive. 5 From that blest source, propitious hope Appears serenely bright, And sheds her soft and cheering beam O'er sorrow's dismal night. 6 Our hearts adore thy mercy, Lord, And bless the friendly ray, Which ushers in the smiling morn Of everlasting day.

Great God in vain man's narrow view

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #29 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Character and Perfections of God Lyrics: 1 Great God, in vain man's narrow view Attempts to look thy nature through. Our lab'ring pow'rs with rev'rence own, Thy glories never can be known. 2 Not the high seraph's mighty thought, Who countless years his God has sought, Such wondrous height or depth can find, Or fully trace thy boundless mind. 3 Yet, Lord, thy kindness deigns to show Enough for mortal men to know; While wisdom, goodness, pow'r divine Thro' all thy works and conduct shine. 4 O! may our souls with rapture trace Thy works of nature and of grace, Explore thy sacred truth, and still Press on to know and do thy will!
