of Watts' hymnals

   Alas! and did my Savior bleed!
 
Am I a soldier of the cross
 And must this body die?
 Begin, my tongue, the heavenly theme
 
Behold the glories of the Lamb
 Come, Dearest Lord
 Come hither, all ye weary souls
 
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove
 Come, let us join our cheerful songs
 Come, sound his praise abroad
 Come, We/Ye that Love the Lord
 Do we not know that solemn word?
 
Father, how wide thy glory shines!
 From All the Dwell Below the Skies
 God in his earthly temple lays
 Great God, Attend While Zion Sings
 Great God, Indulge My Humble Claim
 Great was the day, the joy was great
 Hark! from the tombs a doleful sound
 He Died! The Great Redeemer Died (adapted by W.W. Phelps)
 He dies! the friend of sinners dies!
 He reigns!—the Lord, the Savior reigns!
 He lives—the everlasting God
 How Beauteous are their feet who stand on Zion's hill!
 
How pleasant, how divinely fair
 How pleasant 'tis to see kindred and friends agee
 How pleased and blest was I
 I love the Lord—he heard my cries
 I'll Praise My Maker While I Have Breath
 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
 Joy to the World (adapted by W.W. Phelps)
 Judges, who rule the World by law
 
Kingdoms and thrones to God belong
 Let Every Mortal Ear Attend
 Let sinners take their course
 
Lord in the Morning Thou shalt Hear
 Lord, Thou Hast Searched and Seen me Through
 
Lord Thou wilt Hear Me When I Pray
 Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I
 My God, How Endless Is Thy Love
 
My God, the Spring of all my joys
 My, soul, come, meditate the day
 Nor eye hath seen—nor ear hath heard
 Not all the blood of beasts
 Now let our mournful songs record
 O for a shout of sacred joy

 O God Our Help in Ages Past
 Once More, My Soul, the Rising Day
 Plunged in a gulf of dark despair
 Praise Ye the Lord (my heart shall join)
 Praise Ye the Lord ('tis good to raise)
 Return, O God of love—return
 
Salvation! O, the joyful sound!
 Soon as I heard my Father say, "Ye children, seek my grace"
 Sweet Is the Work, my God, my King
 That awful day will surely come
 The Praise of Zion waits for thee
 There Is a Land the Lord will Bless (edited. by
W. W. Phelps)
 There is a land of pure delight
 Think, mighty God, on feeble man
 This is the day the Lord hath made
 Through every age, eternal God
 'Twas On That Dark, That Solemn Night 
 'Twas the Commission of our Lord
 Unveil Thy Bosom, Faithful Tomb
 We're not ashamed to own our Lord (edited. by
W. W. Phelps)
 
When I can read my title clear
 When I Survey the Wondrous Cross 
 When the great Judge, supreme and just
 With All the Power / My Powers of Heart and Tongue
 With joy we meditate the grace
 Why do we mourn for dying friends
 Why should we start and fear to die?
 W
