Acceptance through Christ alone

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXLVI (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: How shall the sons of men appear Lyrics: 1 How shall the sons of men appear, Great God, before thine awful bar? How may the guilty hope to find Acceptance with th' eternal mind? 2 Not vows, nor groans, nor broken cries, Not the most costly sacrifice, Not infant blood profusely spilt, Will expiate a sinner's guilt. 3 The blood of Jesus Christ alone, Hath sov'reign virtue to atone; Here we will rest our only plea, When we approach, great God, to thee. 4 'Tis through his merit we'll arise, And learn to sing above the skies; We'll join the triumph round the throne, And praise th' eternal Three in One.

Presumption and despair

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCLXXI (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: I hate the tempter and his charms Lyrics: 1 I hate the tempter and his charms, I hate his flatt'ring breath; The serpent takes a thousand forms To cheat our souls to death. 2 He feeds our hopes with airy dreams, Or kills with slavish fear; And holds us still in wide extremes, Presumption or despair. 3 Now he persuades, "how easy 'tis "To walk the road to heav'n;" Anon he swells our sins, and cries, "They cannot be forgiv'n." 4 He bids young sinners "yet forbear "To think of God or death; "For prayer and devotion are "But melancholy breath." 5 He tells the aged, "they must die, "And 'tis too late to pray; "In vain for mercy now they cry, "For they have lost their day." 6 Thus he supports his cruel throne By mischief and deceit, And drags the sons of Adam down To darkness and the pit. 7 Almighty God, cut short his pow'r, Let him in darkness dwell; And, that he vex the earth no more, Confine him down to hell.

Power of Divine Love

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CC (1799) First Line: If God had bid his thunders roll Lyrics: 1 If GOD had bid his thunder roll, And lightnings flash, to blast my soul, I still had stubborn been: But mercy has my heart subdu'd, A bleeding Saviour I have view'd, And now I hate my sin. 2 Now, Lord, I would be thine alone, Come take possession of thine own, For thou hast set me free; Releas'd from Satan's hard command, See all my pow'rs in waiting stand, To be employ'd by thee. 3 My will conform'd to thine would move, On thee my hope, desire, and love, In fix'd attention join; My hands, my eyes, my ears, my tongue, Have Satan's servants been too long, But now they shall be thine. 4 And can I be the very same, Who lately durst blaspheme thy name, And on thy gospel tread? Surely each one who hears my case, Will praise thee, and confess thy grace Invincible indeed! Topics: Love Divine Scripture: Acts 9:6 Languages: English

The happy change

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXXII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: In sin by blinded passions led Lyrics: 1 In sin by blinded passions led, In search of fancy's good we range; The paths of disappointment tread, To nothing fix'd, but love of change. 2 But when the Holy Ghost imparts A knowledge of the Saviour's love; Our wand'ring, weary, restless hearts, Are then renew'd no more to rove. 3 Now a new principle takes place, Which guides and animates the will, This love, another name for grace, Constrains to good, and bars from ill. 4 By love's pure light we soon perceive Our noblest bliss and proper end; And gladly ev'ry idol leave, To love and serve our Lord and friend.
