Desiring Heaven

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCLXIX (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: No more I ask or hope to find Lyrics: 1 No more I ask or hope to find, Delight or happiness below; Sorrow may well possess the mind That feeds where thorns and thistles grow. 2 The joy that fades is not for me, I seek immortal joys above; There, glory without end shall be The bright reward of faith and love. 3 Cleave to the world ye sordid worms, contented lick your native dust: But God shall fight, with all his storms, Against the idol of your trust.

A warning to flee from the wrath to come

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #LXXXII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Now is the time, th' accepted hour Lyrics: 1 Now is the time, th' accepted hour, O! sinners come away' The Saviour's knocking at our door, Arise without delay. 2 O! don't refuse to give him room, Lest mercy should withdraw; He'll then in robes of vengeance come to execute his law. 3 Then where, poor mortals, will you be, If destitute of grace, When you your injur'd Judge shall see, And stand before his face. 4 O! could you shun that dreadful sight, How would you wish to fly, To the dark shades of endless night, From that all-searching eye? 5 But death and hell must all appear And you among them stand; Before the great impartial bar Arraign'd at Christ's left hand. 6 Let not these warnings be in vain, But lend a list'ning ear; Lest you should meet them all again, When wraprt in keen despair.

Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and his word? 3 What peaceful hours I then enjoy'd! How sweet their mem'ry still! But they have left an aching void The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy Dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made thee mourn, And drove thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to bear it from thy throne, And worship only thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

True and false comforts

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXXXVI (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O God, whose favorable eye Lyrics: 1 O God, whose favorable eye The sin-sick soul revives; Holy and heav'nly is the joy, Thy shining presence gives. 2 This hypocrites have ne'er believ'd, They judge with graceless hearts; Swell'd with their pride, they are deceiv'd, By Satan's wily arts. 3 Unholy, selfish joys are theirs, And while they boast their light, And seem to soar above the stars, They're plunging into night. 4 Lull'd in a soft and formal sleep, They sin and yet rejoice, Were they indeed the Saviour's sheep, They sure would hear his voice? 5 Be mine the comforts that reclaim The soul from Satan's pow'r; That make me blush for what I am, And hate my sin the more. 6 'Tis joy enough, my All in All, At thy dear feet to lie; Thou wilt not let me lower fall And none can higher fly.

The hidden life of a Christian

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXLI (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O happy soul that lives on high Lyrics: 1 O happy soul that lives on high While men lie grovling here! His hopes are fix'd above the sky, And faith forbids his fear. 2 His conscience knows no secret stings, While grace and joy combine, To form a life whose holy springs Are hidden and divine. 3 He waits in secret on his God, His God in secret sees: Let earth be all in arms abroad, He dwells in heav'nly peace. 4 His pleasures rise from things unseen, Beyond this world of time, Where neither eyes nor ears have been, Nor thoughts of mortals climb. 5 He wants no pomp nor royal throne To raise his figure here, Content and pleased to live alone Till Christ his life, appear. 6 He looks to heav'n's eternal hills To meet that glorious day: Dear Lord, how flow thy chariot-wheels, How long is thy delay!
