Spiritual mindedness; or, inward religion
Author: Fawcett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Internal Religion desired First Line: Religion is the chief concern Lyrics: 1 Religion is the chief concern
Of mortals here below;
May I its great importance learn,
Its sovereign virtue know!
2 More needful this, than glittering wealth,
Or ought the world bestows;
Nor reputation, food, or health,
Can give us such repose.
3 Religion should our thoughts engage,
Amidst our youthful bloom;
'Twill fist us for declining age,
And for the awful tomb.
4 O may my heart, by grace renew'd
Be my redeemer's throne;
And be my stubborn will subdu'd,
His government to own!
5 Let deep Repentance, faith, and love,
Be join'd with godly fear;
And all our conversation prove
My heart to be sincere.
6 Preserve me from the snares of sin,
Thro' my remaining days;
And in me let each virtue shone
To my redeemer's praise.
7 Let lively hope my soul inspire;
Let warm affections rise;
And may I wait with strong desire,
To mount above the skies! Scripture: James 1:27 Languages: English

Great God, and dwell before thy face?
The man who minds religion now,
And humbly walk with God below:
2 Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean;
Whose lips shall speak the things they mean;
No slanders dwell upon his tongue;
He hates to do his neighbour wrong.
3 [Scarce will he trust an ill report,
Nor vent it to his neighbour's hurt:
Sinners of state he can despise,
But saints are honour'd in his eyes.]
4 [Firm to his word he ever stood,
And always makes his promise good
Nor dares to change the thing he swears,
Whatever pain or loss he bears.]
5 [He never deals in bribing gold,
And mourns that justice should be sold:
While others scorn and wrong the poor,
Sweet charity attends his door.]
6 He loves his enemies, and prays
For those that curse him to his face;
And doth to all men still the same
That he would hope or wish from them.
7 Yet, when his holiest works are done,
His soul depends on grace alone:
This is the man thy face shall see,
And dwell for ever, Lord, with thee. Scripture: Psalm 15 Languages: English

How wond'rous is thy name!
Thy glories how diffus'd abroad
Thro' the creation's frame.
2 Nature in every dress
Her humble homage pays,
And finds a thousand ways t' express
Thine undissembled praise.
3 My soul would rise and sing
To her creator too,
Fain would my tongue adore my king,
And pay the worship due.
4 [But pride, that busy sin,
Spoils all that I perform,
Curs'd pride, that creeps securely in,
And swells a haughty worm.]
5 Create my soul anew,
Else all my worship's vain;
This wretched heart will ne'er be true,
Until tis form'd again.
6 Let joy and worship spend
The remnant of my days,
And to my God my soul, ascend
In sweet perfumes of praise. Languages: English

A prayer for the opposers of experimental religion
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCLIV (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prayer For opposers of experimental religion First Line: Blest Lord, behold the guilty scorn Lyrics: 1 Blest Lord, behold the guilty scorn
Of those who hate and mock our praise,
Pity their state and make them turn,
No more to walk in sinful ways.
2 Anxious we see their wretched state,
Who never think of heav'n or hell;
They laugh and sport and court the gate
Which opes where endless terrors dwell.
3 If pray'r and faith did e'er prevail,
Now help us, Lord, to raise our hands;
Prepare our hearts thy grace to hail,
Then break their soul-destroying band.
4 Lead them to view a sinful heart,
A soul all enmity to thee,
Destroy'd, defil'd in every part,
Too proud to bow, to blind to wee.
5 Lead them to view a holy law,
Which justly dooms to endless death,
To feel that guilt which Jesus saw,
And pray'd forgive, with dying breath.
6 Open their eyes, unstop their ears,
To hear condemning justice sound;
Lord change their hearts, and then their tears
Will witness grief to all around.
7 Once we were blind, like them we strove,
Till sov'reign mercy chang'd our ways;
Lord bow their wills, and make them love,
Then they will join our songs of praise. Languages: English

How soft, and yet how strong!
While power, and truth, and love combine
To draw our souls along.
2 Thou saw'st us crush'd beneath the yoke
Of satan and of sin:
Thy hand the iron bondage broke,
Our worthless hearts to win.
3 The guilt of twice ten thousand sins
One moment takes away;
And grace, when first the war begins,
Secures the crowning day.
4 Comfort thro' all this vale of tears
In rich profusion flows,
And glory of unnumber'd years
Eternity bestows.
5 Drawn by such cords we onward move,
'Till round thy throne we meet;
And, captives in the chains of love,
Embrace our conqueror's feet. Scripture: Hosea 9:4 Languages: English
