201Why sinks my weak desponding mind
202My soul would fain indulge a hope
203Wherefore should man, frail child of clay
204My soul doth magnify the Lord
205Come, ye [you] [we] that [who] love the Lord [Christ], And let your [our] joys
206Blessed Redeemer, how divine
207Happy the heart where graces reign
208Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard
209The ransomed spirit to her home
210My gracious Redeemer I [I'll] love
211Of all the joys we mortals [which creatures] know
212'Tis a point I long to know
213Did I possess the gift of tongues
214Let party names no more
215How sweet, how [and] heavenly is the sight
216Sweet peace of conscience, heavenly guest
217Come, heavenly peace of mind
218Now let our voices join
219My times of sorrow and of joy Great God, are in
220Our hearts are fastened to this [the] world
221And must I part with all I have
222Let those who bear the Christian name
223O Lord, my best desire [desires] fulfill
224Jesus once left his throne on high
225Through all the changing scenes of life, In trouble
226The God of my salvation lives
227Give to the winds thy [your] fears
228Begone, unbelief, [for] my [our] Savior is near
229Happy the man who finds the grace
230Zeal is that [the] pure and heavenly flame
231Jesus, my King, proclaims the war
232Awake, my soul, lift up thine eyes
233What jarring natures dwell within
234With tears of anguish I lament
235Lord, I'm defil'd in every part
236'Tis first of all thyself to know
237And what am I, my soul awake
238Once I thought my mountain strong
239How tedious and tasteless [restless and tiresome] the hours
240Where is now our boasted Savior
241Encompassed with clouds of distress
242Happy the hours, the golden days
243Sweet was the time when first I felt
244I asked the Lord that I might grow
245How far, alas, in sinful ways
246Dear Jesus, let thy pitying eye Call back a wandering sheep
247Blest Savior, by thy powerful word
248Did Christ o'er sinners weep?
249World adieu thou real [cruel] cheat
250How false this earth in all its forms
251Dead be my heart to all below, To mortal joys and mortal cares
252In vain the giddy world enquires
253I send the joys of earth away
254Dear refuge of my [the] weary soul, On thee, when sorows rise
255Jesus, Lover [Savior] of my soul, Let me to thy bosom [refuge] fly
256And will the offended God again
257O thou to whose all searching sight
258O could our thoughts and wishes fly
259My soul be on thy [your] guard
260Alas what hourly dangers rise
261Savior, we wait the day
262When I survey the wondrous cross
263When I the blest Redeemer see
264How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
265Sweet the moments, rich in blessing
266Through this wide [wild] wilderness I roam
267Children of God who faint and slow
268The Lord of light though veiled awhile
269As when the [a] weary traveler gains
270Pilgrim, burdened with thy sin, Haste to Zion's
271Fountain of light, whose copious stream
272Sometimes a light surprises
273O happy soul that [who] lives on high, While men lie grovelling
274When I can read my title clear
275Thrice happy souls [men] [they], who born [heirs] from [of] heaven
276Guide me, O thou great Jehovah
277Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings
278Now let our souls, on wings sublime
279Father divine, thy piercing eye
280Return, my [each] roving heart, return
281Whilst thee I seek, protecting power
282Far from the world, O Lord, I [I'd] [we] flee
283Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
284Come Holy Ghost, my soul inspire, This one great gift
285I love to steal awhile away
286What various hindrances we meet
287Jesus, who knows full well
288Prayer is the soul's [heart's] [saint's] sincere desire
289Prayer is [was] appointed to convey
290Father of all, thy care we bless
291Religion's form is vain
292Let Zion's watchman all awake
293Praise to the Lord on high
294Men of God, go take your stations
295O thou, before whose gracious throne
296What though the arm of conquering death
297I love thy kingdom, Lord
298Once, O Lord, thy garden flourished
299O Sun of righteousness divine, On us
300How few the word of God regard
