Love to the Creatures is dangerous

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XL (1785) First Line: How vain are all things here below! Lyrics: 1 How vain are all things here below! How false, and yet how fair! Each pleasure hath its poison too, And ev'ry sweet — a snare. 2 The brightest things below the sky Give but a flattering light; We should suspect some danger nigh, Where we possess delight. 3 Our dearest joys, and nearest friends, The partners of our blood, How they divide our wavering minds, And leave but half for God! 4 The fondness of a creature's love, Allures the flattering sense! Thither the warm affections move, Nor can we call them thence. 5 Dear Saviour, let thy beauties be My soul's eternal food; And grace command my heart away From all created good. Languages: English

Innumerable mercies acknowledged

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LXV (1785) First Line: In glad amazement, Lord, I stand Lyrics: 1 In glad amazement, Lord, I stand, Amidst the bounties of thy hand; How numberless those bounties are! How rich, how various and how fair! 2 But oh, what poor returns I bring! What lifeless songs of praise I sing! Lord, I confess, with humble shame, My offerings scarce deserve the name. 3 Fain would my labouring heart devise Some nobler gift and sacrifice; It sinks beneath the mighty load That I should render to my God. 4 To him I consecrate my praise, And vow the remnant of my days; Enlarge my soul with grace divine, And make me worthier to be thine. 5 Give me at length an angel's tongue, To sound thro' heaven the grateful song; A theme so great, my voice shall raise, And crown eternity with praise.

Look on him when they pierced, and mourn

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XLVII (1785) First Line: Infinite grief, amazing woe Lyrics: 1 Infinite grief! amazing woe! Behold my bleeding Lord! Hell and the Jews conspire his death, And use the Roman sword. 2 Oh! the sharp pangs of smarting pain My dear Redeemer bore, When knotty whips, and ragged thorns, His sacred body tore! 3 But knotty whips, and ragged thorns, In vain do I accuse; In vain I blame the Roman bands, And more insulting Jews: 4 'Twere you, my sins, my cruel sins, His chief tormentors were; Each of my crimes became a nail, And unbelief — the spear. 5 'Twere you that pull'd the vengeance down Upon his guiltless head: Break, break, my heart — Oh, burst mine eyes, And let my sorrows bleed! 6 Strike, mighty grace, my flinty soul, Till melting waters flow; And deep repentance drown mine eyes In undissembled woe!

The Book of God's Decrees

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XLVIII (1785) First Line: Let all the race of creatures lie Lyrics: 1 Let all the race of creatures lie Abas'd before their God: Whate'er his sovereign voice has form'd He governs with a nod. 2 Ten thousand ages ere the skies Were into motion brought; All the long years and worlds to come Stood present to his thought. 3 If light attend the course I run, 'Tis he provides the rays; And 'tis his hand that hides the sun, If darkness cloud my days. 4 Yet I would not too far enquire, Nor vainly long to see In volumes of his deep decrees, What lines are mark'd for me. 5 When he reveals the book of life, Oh, may I read my name Among the chosen of his love, The followers of the Lamb.

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.IV (1785) First Line: Let every mortal ear attend Lyrics: 1 Let every mortal ear attend, And every heart rejoice, The trumpet of the gospel sounds With an inviting voice. 2 Come all ye hungry starving souls, Who feed upon the wind, And vainly strive with earthly toys, To fill th' immortal mind; 3 Eternal wisdom has prepar'd A soul-reviving feast, And bids your longing appetites The rich provision taste. 4 Come, ye who pant for living streams, And pine away and die; Here you may quench your raging thirst With springs that never dry. 5 Rivers of love and mercy here In spreading oceans join; Salvation in abundance flows Like floods of milk and wine. 6 Great GOD, the treasures of thy love Are everlasting mines, Deep as our helpless miseries are, And boundless as our sins.

Love and Charity

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXVIII (1785) First Line: Let Pharisees of high esteem Lyrics: 1 Let Pharisees, of high esteem, Their faith and zeal declare; All their religion is a dream, If love be wanting there. 2 Love suffers long with patient eye, Nor is provok'd in haste; She lets the present inj'ry die, And long forgets the past. 3 She lays her own advantage by, To seek her neighbour's good; So God's own Son came down to die, And bought our lives with blood. 4 Love is the grace that keeps her power In realms of light above; There faith and hope are known no more, But saints forever love. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:2-7 Languages: English

Conviction of sin by the law

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XVIII (1785) First Line: Lord, how secure my conscience lay Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my conscience lay, And felt no inward dread, I liv'd awhile without the law, And thought my sins were dead. 2 My hopes of heaven were firm and bright, But since the precept came I stand convicted by its light, I find how vile I am. 3 I'm like a helpless captive sold Beneath the power of sin; I cannot do the good I would, Nor keep my conscience clean. 4 My God, I'll cry with every breath For some kind power to save, To break the yoke of sin and death, And thus redeem the slave. Scripture: Romans 7:8-24 Languages: English

The Example of Christ

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LIII (1785) First Line: My dear Redeemer, and my Lord Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer, and my Lord, I read my duty in thy word; But in thy life the law is best IN living characters exprest. 2 Such was thy truth, and such thy zeal, Such deference to thy Father's will — Such love, and meekness, so divine, I would transcribe, and make them mine. 3 Cold mountains, and the midnight air, Witness'd the fervor of thy prayer; The desert thy temptations knew, Thy conflict, and thy victory too. 4 Be thou my pattern — make me bear More of thy gracious image here: Then God, the Judge, shall own my name Among the followers of the Lamb.
