Purer Yet and Purer
Author: Anonymous Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51:7-10 Lyrics: 1 Purer yet and purer
I would be in mind,
Dearer yet and dearer,
Every duty find;
Hoping still, and trusting,
I shall have no fear,
Patiently believing
Thou wilt make all clear.
2 Calmer yet and calmer
In the hour of pain;
Surer yet and surer
Peace at last to gain.
Suffering still and doing,
To His will resigned,
And to God subduing
Heart and will and mind.
3 Swifter yet and swifter
Ever onward run;
Firmer yet and firmer
Step as I go on.
Oft these earnest longings
Swell within my breast,
Yet their inner meaning
Ne’er can be expressed.
4 Higher yet and higher
Out of clouds and sight,
Nearer yet and nearer
Rising to the light,
Light serene and holy,
Where my soul may rest,
Purified and holy,
Sanctified and blessed.
Amen. Used With Tune: LYNDHURST
Purer Yet and Purer
With broken heart and contrite sigh
Author: Cornelius Elven Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 218 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51:7 Lyrics: 1 With broken heart and contrite sigh,
A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry;
Thy pard'ning grace is rich and free:
O God, be merciful to me.
2 I smite upon my troubled breast,
With deep and conscious guilt oppressed,
Christ and his cross my only plea:
O God, be merciful to me.
3 Far off I stand with tearful eyes,
Nor dare uplift them to the skies;
But thou dost all my anguish see:
O God, be merciful to me.
4 No alms nor deeds that I have done,
Can for a single sin atone;
To Calvary alone I flee:
O God, be merciful to me.
5 And when, redeemed from sin and hell,
With all the ransomed throng I dwell
My raptured song shall ever be,
"God has been merciful to me."
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Repentance; God Mercy of; Heart Contrite; Salvation by Grace Used With Tune: ST. LUKE

Faith is the brightest evidence
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 121 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics:
Faith is the brightest evidence
Of things beyond our sight,
Breaks through the clouds of flesh and sense,
And dwells in heav'nly light.
It sets times past in present view,
Brings distant prospects home,
Of things a thousand years ago,
Or thousand years to come.
By faith we know the worlds were made
By God's almighty word;
Abram, to unknown countries led,
By faith obeyed the Lord.
He sought a city fair and high,
Built by th' eternal hands,
And faith assures us, though we die,
That heav'nly building stands.

Once I thought my mountain strong
Author: Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 116 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics: 1 Once I thought my mountain strong,
Firmly fixed no more to move;
Then my Saviour was my song,
Then my soul was filled with love:
Those were happy, golden days,
Sweetly spent in prayer and praise.
2 Little then myself I knew,
Little thought of Satan's power;
Now I feel my sins renew,
Now I feel the stormy hour:
Sin has put my joys to flight,
Sin has turned my day to night.
3 Saviour, shine and cheer my soul,
Bid my dying hopes revive,
Make my wounded spirit whole,
Far away the tempter drive:
Speak the word and set me free,
Let me live alone to thee. Topics: The Christian Life Declension and Renewal; For Renewal
Once I thought my mountain strong
Christ and his cross is all our theme
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 116 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics:
Christ and his cross is all our theme;
The myst'ries that we speak
Are scandal in the Jew's esteem,
And folly to the Greek.
But souls enlightened from above
With joy receive the word;
They see what wisdom, power, and love
Shine in their dying Lord.
The vital savor of his name
Restores their fainting breath;
But unbelief perverts the same
To guilt, despair, and death.
Till God diffuse his graces down,
Like showers of heav'nly rain,
In vain Apollos sows the ground,
And Paul may plant in vain.
Christ and his cross is all our theme

Fill my whole life, O Lord my God
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 95 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics: 1 Fill my whole life, O Lord my God,
in every part with praise,
that my whole being may proclaim
your being and your ways.
2 Not for the lip of praise alone,
nor ev'n the praising heart
I ask, but for a life made up
of praise in every part:
3 praise in the common things of life,
its goings out and in;
praise in each duty and each deed,
however small and mean.
4 Fill every part of me with praise:
let all my being speak
of you and of your love, O Lord,
poor though I be and weak.
5 So shalt you, Lord, receive from me
the praise and glory due;
and so shall I begin on earth
the song for ever new.
6 So shall no part of day and night
from sacredness be free;
but with you, Lord, in every step,
my fellowship will be. Topics: Adoration and Praise; Holiness; Jesus Christ Friend and Companion; Joy; Personal Petition; Personal Response to Jesus; Thanksgiving Used With Tune: RICHMOND

The law by Moses came
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 88 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics:
The law by Moses came,
But peace, and truth, and love,
Were brought by Christ, a nobler name,
Descending from above.
Amidst the house of God
Their diff'rent works were done;
Moses a faithful servant stood,
But Christ a faithful Son.
Then to his new commands
Be strict obedience paid;
O'er all his Father's house he stands
The sovereign and the head.
The man that durst despise
The law that Moses brought,
Behold! how terribly he dies
For his presumptuous fault!
But sorer vengeance falls
On that rebellious race,
Who hate to hear when Jesus calls,
And dare resist his grace.
The law by Moses came
