When Jesus, with his mighty love
Author: Hart Hymnal: SHPW1844 #251 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 18:33 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus, with his mighty love,
Visits my troubled breast,
My doubts subside, my fears remove,
And I’m completely blest;
2 [I love the Lord with mind and heart,
His people and his ways;
Envy, and pride, and lust depart,
And all his works I praise;]
3 Nothing but Jesus I esteem;
My soul is then sincere;
And everything that’s dear to him,
To me is also dear.
4 But ah! when these short visits end,
Though not quite left alone,
I miss the presence of my Friend,
Like one whose comfort’s gone.
5 [I to my own sad place return,
My wretched state to feel;
I tire, and faint, and mope, and mourn,
And am but barren still.]
6 More frequent let thy visits be,
Or let them longer last;
I can do nothing without thee;
Make haste, O God, make haste. Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Love Languages: English
When Jesus, with his mighty love
And now the work is done
Author: Hart Hymnal: SHPW1844 #817 (1844) Scripture: Genesis 27:20 Lyrics: 1 And now the work is done,
Without much pains or cost;
The author’s merit’s none,
And therefore none his boast;
He only claims whate’er’s amiss;
Alas! how large a share is his!
2 Some time it took to beat
And hunt for tinkling sound;
But the rich savoury meat
Was very quickly found;
For every truly Christian thought
Was by the God of Isaac brought.
3 May he that sings or reads
That precious blessing know
That comes by Jacob’s kids,
And not from Esau’s bow.
O bring no price! God’s grace is free
To Paul, to Magdalene, to me!
4 Glory to God alone
(Let man forbear to boast),
To Father, and to Son,
And to the Holy Ghost:
Eternal life’s the gift of God;
The Lamb procured it by his blood. Languages: English
And now the work is done
Lord, I cannot let thee go
Author: Newton Hymnal: SHPW1844 #376 (1844) Scripture: Genesis 32:26 Lyrics: 1 Lord, I cannot let thee go,
Till a blessing thou bestow;
Do not turn away thy face;
Mine’s an urgent, pressing case.
2 [Dost thou ask me who I am?
Ah, my Lord, thou know’st my name;
Yet the question gives a plea,
To support my suit with thee.]
3 Thou didst once a wretch behold,
In rebellion blindly bold;
Scorn thy grace; thy power defy;
That poor rebel, Lord, was I.
4 Once a sinner near despair
Sought thy mercy-seat by prayer;
Mercy heard and set him free;
Lord, that mercy came to me.
5 Many days have passed since then;
Many changes I have seen;
Yet have been upheld till now;
Who could hold me up but thou?
6 Thou hast helped in every need;
This emboldens me to plead;
After so much mercy past,
Canst thou let me sink at last?
7 No; I must maintain my hold;
’Tis thy goodness makes me bold;
I can no denial take,
When I plead for Jesus’ sake.

Lord, I cannot let thee go
Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone
Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #264 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 49:18 Lyrics: 1 Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone;
Let my religious hours alone;
Fain would my eyes my Saviour see;
I wait a visit, Lord, from thee.
2 My heart grows warm with holy fire,
And kindles with a pure desire;
Come, my dear Jesus, from above,
And feed my soul with heavenly love.
3 [The trees of life immortal stand,
In fragrant rows at thy right hand;
And in sweet murmurs by thy side,
Rivers of bliss perpetual glide.
4 Haste, then, but with a smiling face,
And spread the table of thy grace;
Bring down a taste of truth divine,
And cheer my heart with sacred wine.]
5 Blest Jesus! what delicious fare!
How sweet thy entertainments are!
Never did angels taste above,
Redeeming grace and dying love.
6 Hail, great Immanuel, all divine!
In thee thy Father’s glories shine;
Thou brightest, sweetest, fairest One,
That eyes have seen or angels known.

Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone
Mistaken men may browl
Author: Hart Hymnal: SHPW1844 #353 (1844) Scripture: Exodus 15:13 Lyrics: 1 Mistaken men may brawl
Against the grace of God,
And threat with final fall
The purchase of his blood;
But, though they own the Saviour’s name,
From him such gospel never came.
2 Shall babes in Christ, bereft
Of God’s rich gift of faith,
Be to their own will left,
And sin the sin to death?
Shall any child of God be lost,
And Satan cheat the Holy Ghost?
3 Dark unbelief and pride,
With Pharisaic zeal,
We lay you all aside,
And trust a surer seal;
We rest our souls on Jesus’ word,
And give the glory to the Lord.
4 Led forth by God’s free grace,
And guided by his power,
We reach his holy place,
And live for evermore;
’Twas this place Moses had in view;
Of this he sang, and we sing too. Topics: Perseverance Languages: English

Dearest Saviour! we adore thee
Author: Newton Hymnal: SHPW1844 #272 (1844) Meter: 8.7 Scripture: Exodus 24:8 Lyrics: Dearest Saviour! we adore thee,
For thy precious life and death;
Melt each stubborn heart before thee;
Give us all the eye of faith.
From the law’s condemning sentence,
To thy mercy we appeal;
Thou alone canst give repentance;
Thou alone our souls canst heal. Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Zeal Languages: English
Dearest Saviour! we adore thee
Once more, dear God of grace
Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: SHPW1844 #642 (1844) Scripture: Exodus 33:15 Lyrics: 1 Once more, dear God of grace,
Thy earthly courts we tread;
We come to see thy face,
And banquet with our Head;
We long, we faint, we pant for thee;
And hope that with us thou wilt be.
2 Though base and vile we are,
Nor goodness have to bring,
We cannot well despair,
While Jesus is our King;
He welcomes all by sin oppressed,
Upon his grace to come and feast.
3 With Christ we would be fed;
By faith upon him live;
We wish no other bread,
And thou hast this to give;
Lord, fill us well with this rich food,
And let us drink thy precious blood. Topics: Prayer and Watchfulness Languages: English
Once more, dear God of grace
Though we walk through this wilderness
Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: SHPW1844 #554 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Exodus 33:19 Lyrics: 1 Though we walk through this wilderness
God’s promise is our stay;
His goodness he will make to pass
Before us in the way.
2 Goodness, immortal and divine,
The bliss of endless day,
The Lord our God will make to pass
Before us in the way.
3 The boundless treasures of his grace,
He surely will display,
And all his goodness make to pass
Before us in the way.
4 [Though hosts of enemies rise up,
To fill us with dismay,
The Lord will make his goodness pass
Before us in the way.
5 To keep our eyes on Jesus fixed,
And there our hope to stay,
The Lord will make his goodness pass
Before us in the way.]
6 To make his saints his glory view,
And sing their cares away,
The Lord will make his goodness pass
Before them in the way. Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Languages: English
Though we walk through this wilderness
No prophet, nor dreamer of dreams
Author: Hart Hymnal: SHPW1844 #220 (1844) Scripture: Deuteronomy 13:1-11 Lyrics: 1 No prophet, or dreamer of dreams,
No master of plausible speech,
To live like an angel who seems,
Or like an apostle to preach;
No tempter, without or within,
No spirit, though ever so bright,
That comes crying out against sin,
And looks like an angel of light;
2 Though reason, though fitness he urge,
Or plead with the words of a friend,
Or wonders of argument forge,
Or deep revelations pretend;
Should meet with a moment’s regard,
But rather be boldly withstood,
If anything, easy or hard,
He teach, save the Lamb and his blood.
3 [Remember, O Christian, with heed,
When sunk under sentence of death,
How first thou from bondage wast freed –
Say, was it by works, or by faith?
On Christ thy affections then fixed,
What conjugal truth didst thou vow?
With him was there anything mixed?
Then what would’st thou mix with him now?
4 If close to thy Lord thou would’st cleave,
Depend on his promise alone;
His righteousness would’st thou receive?
Then learn to renounce all thy own.
The faith of a Christian, indeed,
Is more than mere notion or whim;
United to Jesus, his Head,
He draws life and virtue from him.]
5 [Deceived by the father of lies,
Blind guides cry, Lo, here! and, Lo, there!
By these our Redeemer us tries,
And warns us of such to beware.
Poor comfort to mourners they give
Who set us to labour in vain;
And strive, with a “Do this and live,”
To drive us to Egypt again.]
6 But what says our Shepherd divine?
(For his blessed word we should keep)
“This flock has my Father made mine;
I lay down my life for my sheep;
’Tis life everlasting I give;
My blood was the price my sheep cost;
Not one that on me shall believe
Shall ever be finally lost.”
7 This God is the God we adore
Our faithful, unchangeable Friend;
Whose love is as large as his power,
And neither knows measure nor end.
’Tis Jesus, the First and the Last,
Whose Spirit shall guide us safe home:
We’ll praise him for all that is past,
And trust him for all that’s to come. Topics: Salvation and Free Grace Languages: English
No prophet, nor dreamer of dreams
The Canaanites still in the land
Author: Kent Hymnal: SHPW1844 #298 (1844) Scripture: Joshua 17:12 Lyrics: 1 The Canaanites still in the land,
To harass, perplex, and dismay,
Brought Israel of old at a stand,
For Anak was stronger than they.
What God had designed they possessed,
Supported and kept by his hand;
Yet, lest on their lees they should rest,
The Canaanites dwelt in the land.
2 ’Tis thus with the Israel on earth,
Who groan with a body of sin,
Partake of a spiritual birth,
The work of God’s Spirit within;
Today, with a taste of his love,
Jehovah their souls will expand,
Tomorrow he’ll give them to prove
The Canaanites still in the land.
3 [Corruptions like vapours shall rise;
Light, love, and delight shall be gone;
The sun shall be dark in the skies,
And hell, with its legions, come on;
Yet all things shall work for their good,
Afflictions, temptations, or pain;
And still, through the Lamb and his blood
Their cause they shall ever maintain.]
4 [Like Gad, by a troop overcome,
They fall, through the workings of sin;
Yet glory they not in their shame,
But mourn their defilement within.
On Zion’s bright summit above,
Victorious at last they shall stand,
Though now for a season they prove
The Canaanites still in the land.]
5 [A thorn in the flesh they shall have,
Their roving affections to win,
To teach them how Jesus can save,
And show them the depth of their sin;
Yea, down to the Jordan of death,
His foes shall the Christian withstand,
And feel, when resigning his breath,
The Canaanites still in the land.]
6 [To them he his oath shall fulfil,
A poor, little, faint-hearted band;
For ’tis of their Father’s good will
The Canaanites dwell in the land.
Their place of repose is on high,
No Canaanite enters therein,
To drink of the rivers of joy,
Remote from the regions of sin.]
