503.  OH, LORD, MY GOD

                        Ps 3.3 DAWNING / Rev 19.6 PRAISE
                  Oh, Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
                  Consider all the works Thy hands have made;
                    I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
                  Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
                               CHORUS
                 //- Then sings my soul, my Savior, God to thee,
                        //How great Thou art!// -//
                                 2
               When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
                  And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
                When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur,
                 And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
                                 3
                 And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing,
                     Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
                  That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
                     He bled and died to take away my sin.
                                 4
               When Christ shall come, with shouts of acclamation,
                 And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart;
                    Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
                 And there proclaim: My God, how great Thou art!
               504.  TAKE MERCY ON OUR SOULS
               .............................  ······sENOR. TEN.COMPASION···


               Take mercy on our souls, Thy work place in our hearts,
                Remove contamination out from Thy congregation.
                               CHORUS
            When Jesus said these words, His closest friends around Him,
             "For many have been summoned, but only few are chosen."
