The contrite Heart

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CXLIV (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The Lord will happiness divine Lyrics: 1 The LORD will happiness divine On contrite hearts bestow: Then tell me, gracious GOD, is mine A contrite heart or no? 2 I hear, but seem to hear in vain, Insensible as steel; If ought is felt, 'tis only pain To find I cannot feel. 3 I sometimes think myself inclin'd To love thee, if I cou'd; But often feel another mind, Averse to all that's good. 4 My best desires are faint and few, I fain would strive for more; But when I cry, "My strength renew," Seem weaker than before. 5 I see thy saints with comfort fill'd, When in thy house of pray'r; But still in bondage I am held, And find no comfort there. 6 O make this heart rejoice or ache; Decide this doubt for me; And if it be not broken, break, And heal it if it be.

The humiliation, exaltation, and triumphs of Christ

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #LXXIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: The mighty frame of glorious grace Lyrics: 1 The mighty frame of glorious grace, That brightest monument of praise That e'er the God of love design'd, Employs and fills my laboring mind. 2 Begin, my soul, the heav'nly song, A burden for an angel's tongue; When Gabriel sounds these awful things, He tunes and summons all his strings. 3 Proclaim inimitable love: Jesus the Lord of worlds above, Puts off the beams of bright array, And veils the God in mortal clay. 4 He that distributes crowns and thrones Hangs on a tree, and bleeds, and groans: The prince of life resigns his breath, The king of glory bows to death. 5 But see the wonders of his power, He triumphs in his dying hour, And while by Satan's rage he fell, He dash'd the rising hopes of hell. 6 Thus were the hosts of death subdu'd, And sin was drown'd in Jesu's blood: Thus he arose, and reigns above, And conquers sinners by his love.

Faith conquering

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CXXV (1799) First Line: The moment a sinner believes Lyrics: 1 The moment a sinner believes, And trust in his crucify'd God, His pardon at once he receives, Redemption in full through his blood. 'Tis faith that still leads us along, And lives under pressure and load, That makes us in weakness more strong, And draws the soul upward to God. 2 It treads on the world, and on hell, It vanquishes earth and despair; And Oh! let us wonder to tell, It wrestles and conquers by pray'r, Permits a vile worm of the dust, With God to commune as a friend; To hope his forgiveness as just, And look for his love to the end. 3 It says to the mountains, "depart," That stand between God and the soul; It binds up the broken in heart, And makes wounded consciences whole; Bids sins of a crimson-like dye, Be spotless as snow, and as white, And raises the sinners on high, To dwell with the angels of light.

The new Convert humbled

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXXXV (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: The new-born child of gospel-grace Lyrics: 1 The new-born child of gospel-grace, Like some fair tree when summer's nigh, Beneath Emmanuel's shining face, Lifts up his blooming branch on high. 2 No fear he feels, he sees no foes, no conflict yet his faith employs, Nor has he learnt to whom he owes, The strength and peace his soul enjoys. 3 But sin soon darts its cruel sting, And comforts sink from day to day: What seem'd his own, a self-fed spring, Proves but a brook that glides away. 4 When Gideon arm'd his num'rous host, The Lord soon made his numbers less; And said, lest Israel vainly boast, "My arm procur'd me this success." 5 Thus will he bring our spirits down, And draw our ebbing comforts low, That sav'd by grace, but not our own, We may not claim the praise we owe.

The fountain of Christ's Blood

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XLVI (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: There is a fountain fill'd with blood Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood Drawn from Emmanuel's veins; And sinners, plung'd beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoic'd to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, as vile as he, Wash all my sins away! 3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood Shall never lose its pow'r Till all the ransom'd church of God Be sav'd, to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing thy pow'r to save. When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave.

Thoughts on God and Death

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XIX (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: There is a God that reigns above Lyrics: 1 There is a GOD that reigns above, Lord of the heav'n and earth and seas: I fear his wrath, I ask his love, And with my lips I sing his praise. 2 There is a law which he has writ, To teach us all what we must do: My soul to his commands submit, For they are holy, just, and true. 3 There is a gospel rich in grace, Whence sinners all their comforts draw, Lord I repent and seek thy face, For I have often broke thy law. 4 There is an hour when I must die, Nor do I know how soon 'twill come: How many younger much tha I Have pass'd by death to hear their doom. 5 Let me improve the hours I have, Before the day of grace is fled: There’s no repentance in the grave, No pardon offer’d to the dead.

The sovereignty of grace

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCC (1799) First Line: There was an hour when Christ rejoic'd Lyrics: 1 There was an hour when Christ rejoic'd, And spoke his joy in words of praise; "Father, I thank thee, mighty God, "Lord of the earth, and heav'ns, and seas. 2 I thank thy sov'reign pow'r and love That crowns my doctrine with success; And makes the babes in knowledge learn The heights, and breadths, and lengths of grace. 3 But all this glory lies conceal'd From men of prudence and of wit: The prince of darkness blinds their eyes, And their own pride resists the light. 4 Father, 'tis thus, because thy will Chose and ordain'd it should be so; 'Tis thy delight t' abase the proud, And lay the haughty scorner low. 5 There's none can know the Father right But those who learn it from the Son: Nor can the Son be well receiv'd But where the Father makes him known." 6 Then let our souls adore our God, Who deals his graces as he please; Nor gives to mortals an account Or of his actions or decrees.

The eternal Sabbath

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXXIV (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love Lyrics: 1 Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love, But there's a nobler rest above; To that our longing souls aspire, With ardent pangs of strong desire. 2 No more fatigue, no more distress; Nor sin nor hell shall reach the place; No groans to mingle with the songs, Which warble from immortal tongues. 3 No rude alarms of raging foes; No cares to break our long repose; No midnight shade, no clouded sun, Obscures the lustre of thy throne. 4 Around thy throne, grant we may meet, And give us but the lowest seat; We'll shout thy praise, and join the songs Of the triumphant, holy throng.

A Prayer of the sick Soul

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CXLI (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Thou great Physician of the soul Lyrics: 1 Thou great Physician of the soul, To thee I bring my case; My raging malady control, And heal me by thy grace. 2 Help me to state my whole complaint, But where shall I begin? Nor words, nor thoughts, can fully paint That worst distemper, sin. 3 It lies not in a single part, But through my frame is spread; A burning fever in my heart, A palsy in my head. 4 It makes me deaf, and dumb, and blind, And impotent and lame; It overclouds, and fills my mind, With folly, fear, and shame. 5 A thousand evil thoughts intrude, Tumultuous in my breast; Which indispose me for my food, And rob me of my rest. 6 Lord, I am sick, regard my cry, And set my spirit free; Say, canst thou let a sinner die, Who longs to live to thee.
