He behold the city and wept over it

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXLIII (1799) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Did Christ o'er sinners weep? Lyrics: 1 Did Christ o'er sinners weep? And shall our cheeks be dry? Let floods of penitential grief Burst forth from every eye. 2 The son of God in tears Angels with wonder see! Be thou astonish'd, O my soul, He shed those tears for thee. 3 He wept, that we might weep; Each sin demands a tear; In heav'n alone no sin is found, And there's no weeping there. 4 Joy beams in ev'ry eye, And fills each holy heart; All join to sound the triumph high In praise to bear their part.

The spirit of God insensibly withdrawn

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CIX (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: A present God is all our strength Lyrics: 1 A present God is all our strength, And all our joy and hope; When he withdraws, our comforts die, And every grace must droop. 2 But flattering trifles charm our hearts To court their false embrace, Till justly this neglected friend Averts his angry face. 3 He leaves us and we miss him not; But go presumptuous on, Till baffled, wounded, and enslav'd, We learn that God is gone. 4 And what, my soul, can then remain One ray of light to give? Sever'd from him, their better life, How can his children live? 5 Hence, all ye painted forms of joy, And leave my heart to mourn: I would devote these eyes to tears, Till chear'd by his return. 6 Look back, my Lord, and own the place, Where once thy temple stood; For lo, its ruins bear the mark Of rich atoning blood.

Atonement and Sactification

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XXXV (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Alas! by nature how deprav'd Lyrics: 1 Alas! by nature how deprav'd, How prone to ev'ry ill! Our lives to Satan how enslav'd, How obstinate our will! 2 And can such sinners be restor'd, Such rebels reconcil'd! Can grace sufficient means afford To make the foe a child! 3 Yes, grace has sound the wond'rous means Which shall effectual prove; To cleanse us from our countless sins, And teach our hearts to love. 4 Jesus for us a ransom paid, And dy'd that we might live; His blood a full atonement made, And cr'd aloud, FORGIVE. 5 Yet one thing more mus grace provide, To bring us home to God; Or we shall slight the Lord, who dy'd, And trample on his blood. 6 The holy Spirit must reveal The Saviour's work and worth: Then the hard heart begins to feel A new and heav'nly birth. 7 Thus bought with blood, and born again, Redeem'd and sav'd by grace; Rebels in God's own house obtain A son's and daughters place.

To Heav'n O let me lift my eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain, And melt in flowing tears! My weak resistance, ah, how vain! How strong my foes and fears! 3 O gracious God, in whom I live, My feeble efforts aid, Help me to watch, and pray, and strive, Though trembling and afraid. 4 Increase my faith, increase my hope, When foes and fears prevail; And bear my fainting spirit up, Or soon my strength will fail. 5 When'er temptations fright my heart, Or lure my feet aside, My God, thy pow'rful aid impart, Nor cease to be my guide. 6 O keep me in thy heav'nly way, And bid the tempter flee; And let me never, never stray From happiness and thee.

Perplexity relieved

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCLXXXVIII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Anxious, I strove to find the way Lyrics: 1 Anxious, I strove to find the way Which to salvation led; I listen'd long, I try'd to pray, And heard what many said. 2 When some of joys and comforts told, I fear'd that I was wrong; For I was stupid, dead, and cold, Had neither joys nor song. 3 The Lord my lab'ring heart reliev'd, And made my burden light; Then for a moment I believ'd, And thought that all was right. 4 Of fierce temptations others talk'd, Of anguish and dismay; Thro' what distresses they had walk'd, Before they found the way. 5 Ah! then I thought my hopes were vain, For I had liv'd at ease; I wish'd for all my fears again, To make me more like these. 6 I had my wish, the Lord disclos'd The evils of my heart; And left my naked soul expos'd To Satan's fiery dart. 7 Alas! I cry'd in deep despair, Borne down with fearful pain! How can I these fierce terrors bear, And who will now sustain! 8 Again my Saviour brought me aid, And when he set me free, "Trust simply on my word," he said, "And leave the rest to me."
