A broken heart, O Lord! Thou never wilt despise

Author: Raffles Hymnal: VoP1873 #417 (1873) Lyrics: 1 A broken heart, O Lord! Thou never wilt despise; 'Tis written in thy word, This is the sacrifice: The sacrifice that thou wilt own-- It is the broken heart alone. 2 Break thou my heart, O Lord! The rock within me break; To tremble at thy word, And at thine anger quake: Let me in deep contrition lie, And heave the penitential sigh. 3 For mercy dwells with thee-- Compassion, all divine; That mercy show to me; Be that compassion mine: For sinners did not Jesus bleed? And Jesus' blood alone I plead. Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith; The Sacrifices of God are a Broken Spirit Scripture: Psalm 51

A charge to keep I have

To serve the present age, My calling to fulfill-- Oh! may it all my powers engage, To do my Master's will. 2 Arm me with jealous care, As in thy sight to live; And oh! thy servant, Lord, prepare, A strict account to give.

A home in heaven! what a joyful thought

Author: Wm. Hunter Hymnal: VoP1873 #1008 (1873) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 A home in heaven! what a joyful thought, As the poor man toils in his weary lot! His heart oppressed, and with anguish driven From his home below to his home in heaven. 2 A home in heaven! as the sufferer lies On his bed of pain, and uplifts his eyes To that bright home, what a joy is given With the blessed thought of his home in heaven. 3 A home in heaven! when our pleasures fade, And our wealth and our fame in the dust are laid, And strength decays, and our health is riven, We are happy still with our home in heaven. 4 A home in heaven! when the faint heart bleeds By the Spirit's strokes for its evil deeds, Oh, then what bliss in that heart forgiven Does the hope inspire of a home in heaven. 5 A home in heaven! when our friends are fled To the cheerless gloom of the mouldering dead, We wait in hope of the promise given: We will meet up there in our home in heaven. 6 A home in heaven! when the wheel is broke, And the golden bowl by the terror stroke; When life's bright sun sinks in death's dark even, We will then fly up to our home in heaven. 7 Our home in heaven! oh, the glorious home, And the Spirit, joined with the Bride, says come: Come, seek his face, and your sins forgiven, And rejoice in the hope of your home in heaven.

A pilgrim through this lonely world

Author: Denny Hymnal: VoP1873 #170 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim through this lonely world, The blessed Saviour passed: A mourner all his life was he, A dying Lamb at last. 2 That tender heart that felt for all, For all its life-blood gave; It found on earth no resting-place, Save only in the grave. 3 Such was our Lord; and shall we fear The cross, with all its scorn? Or love a faithless, evil world, That wreathed his brow with thorn? Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; The Man of Sorrows Scripture: Matthew 10:25

Author: Cobbin Hymnal: VoP1873 #300 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A throne of grace! then let us go And offer up our prayer; A gracious God will mercy show To all that worship there. 2 A throne of grace! oh, at that throne Our knees have often bent, And God has showered his blessings down As often as we went. 3 A throne of grace! rejoice, ye saints; That throne is open still; To God unbosom your complaints, And then inquire his will. 4 A throne of grace we yet shall need Long as we draw our breath; A Saviour, too, to intercede, Till we are changed by death. 5 The throne of glory then shall glow With beams from Jesus' face, And we no longer want shall know, Nor need a throne of grace.

Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me! 4 Not a brief glance I long, a passing word, But as thou dwell'st with thy disciples, Lord,-- Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but t' abide with me.

Abraham, when severely tried

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #623 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Abraham, when severely tried, His faith by his obedience showed; He with the harsh command complies, And gave his Isaac back to God. 2 His son the father offered up-- Son of his age, his only son; Object of all his joy and hope. And less beloved than God alone. 3 Oh, for a faith like his, that we The bright example may pursue; May gladly give up all to thee, To whom our more than all is due. 4 Is there a thing than life more dear? A thing from which we cannot part? We can, we now rejoice to tear The idol from our bleeding heart. 5 Jesus, accept our sacrifice; All things for thee we count but loss: Lo! at thy word our idol dies-- Dies on the altar of thy cross. 6 For what to thee, O Lord, we give, A hundred-fold we here obtain; And soon with thee shall all receive, And loss shall be eternal gain.
