How fast their guilt and sorrows rise

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XVI.II (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 16:5-8 Lyrics: 5 How fast their guilt and sorrows rise, Who haste to seek some idol-god! I will not taste their sacrifice, Their off'rings of forbidden blood. 6 My God provides a richer cup, And nobler food to live upon: He for my life has offer'd up Jesus, his best belovèd Son. 7 His love is my perpetual feast; By day his counsels guide me right; And be his name for ever blest, Who gives me sweet advice by night. 8 I set him still before mine eyes; At my right hand he stands prepar'd To keep my soul from all surprise, And be my everlasting guard.

Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XVII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 17 Lyrics: 1 Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove My faith, my patience, and my love: When men of spite against me join, They are the sword the hand is thine. 2 Their hope and portion lies below: ’Tis all the happiness they know, ’Tis all they seek; they take their shares, And leave the rest among their heirs. 3 What sinners value, I resign; Lord, ’tis enough that thou art mine: I shall behold thy blissful face, And stand complete in righteousness. 4 This life’s a dream, an empty show; But the bright world to which I go, Hath joys substantial and sincere; When shall I wake and find me there? 5 O glorious hour! O blest abode! I shall be near and like my God; And flesh and sin no more control The sacred pleasures of the soul. 6 My flesh shall slumber in the ground, Till the last trumpet’s joyful sound; Then burst the chains in sweet surprise, And in my Saviour’s image rise.

Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XVIII.I (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 18:1-8 Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength, My rock, my tow'r, my high defence; Thy mighty arm shall be my trust, For I have found salvation thence. 2 Death, and the terrors of the grave, Stood round me with their dismal shade; While floods of high temptations rose, And made my sinking soul afraid. 3 I saw the op'ning gates of hell, With endless pains and sorrows there, (Which none but they that feel can tell) While I was hurry'd to despair. 4 In my distress I call'd my God, When I could scarce believe him mine: He bow'd his ear to my complaint; And prov'd his saving grace divine. 5 [With speed he flew to my relief, As on a cherub’s wing he rode; Awful, and bright as lightning, shone The face of my deliv'rer, God. 6 Temptations fled at his rebuke, The blast of his Almighty breath; He sent salvation from on high, And drew me from the deeps of death.] 7 Great were my fears, my foes were great, Much was their strength, and more their rage; But Christ, my Lord, is conqu'ror still, In all the wars the proud can wage. 8 My song for ever shall record That terrible, that joyful hour; And give the glory to the Lord Due to His mercy and his pow'r.

What wars and strugglings in my breast! But through thy grace that reigns within, I guard against my darling sin. 12 That sin which close besets me still, That works and strives against my will: When shall thy spirit’s sovereign pow'r Destroy it, that it rise no more. 13 With an impartial hand, the Lord Deals out to mortals their reward; The kind and faithful souls shall find A God as faithful and as kind. 14 And men that love revenge shall know, God hath an arm of vengeance too: The just and pure, shall ever say, Thou art more pure, more just than they.

And all thy judgments just, For ever sure thy promise, Lord, And men securely trust. 12 My gracious God, how plain Are thy directions giv’n! O may I never read in vain, But find the path to heav’n! 13 I heard thy word with love, And I would fain obey: Send thy good spirit from above To guide me lest I stray. 14 O who can ever find The errors of his ways? Yet with a bold presumptuous mind I would not dare transgress. 15 Warn me of ev'ry sin, Forgive my secret faults, And cleanse this guilty soul of mine, Whose crimes exceed my thoughts. 16 While with my heart and tongue I spread thy praise abroad; Accept the worship and the song, My Saviour and my God.

Our foes shall fall and die with shame; Or quit the field with coward flight.] 7 Now save us, Lord, from slavish fear; Now let our hopes be firm and strong, Till thy salvation shall appear, And joy and triumph raise the song.
