O God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,240 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 11:16 Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home;
2 Under the shadow of thy throne
thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in thy sight
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all its sons away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Topics: New Year; Remembrance Sunday; Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls; National Used With Tune: ST ANNE

Jesus Paid It All
Author: Elvina M. Hall Meter: Irregular Appears in 810 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 11:19 First Line: I hear the Savior say Lyrics: 1 I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
child of weakness, watch and pray,
find in me thine all in all.”
[Refrain:]
Jesus paid it all,
all to Him I owe;
sin had left a crimson stain,
he washed it white as snow.
2 Lord, now indeed I find
thy power, and thine alone,
can change the leper’s spots
and melt the heart of stone. (Refrain)
3 For nothing good have I
whereby thy grace to claim--
I’ll wash my garments white
in the blood of Calvary’s Lamb. (Refrain)
4 And when before the throne
I stand in him complete,
"Jesus died my soul to save,"
my lips shall still repeat. (Refrain)

O Love divine, how sweet thou art!
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 11:19 Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet thou art!
When shall I find my longing heart
all taken up by thee?
I thirst, I faint, I die to prove
the greatness of redeeming love,
the love of Christ to me.
2 Stronger his love than death or hell;
its riches are unsearchable:
the first-born sons of light
desire in vain its depth to see;
they cannot reach the mystery,
the length and breadth and height.
*3 God only knows the love of God;
O that it now were shed abroad
in this poor stony heart!
For love I sigh, for love I pine;
this only portion, Lord, be mine,
be mine this better part.
4 For ever would I take my seat
with Mary at the Master's feet:
be this my happy choice;
my only care, delight, and bliss,
my joy, my heaven on earth, be this,
to hear the Bridegroom's voice!
5 Thy only love do I require,
nothing on earth beneath desire,
nothing in heaven above:
let earth and heaven, and all things go,
give me thine only love to know,
give me thine only love. Topics: Lent I Year A; Proper 6 Year A; Proper 11 Year C Used With Tune: CORNWALL

The Load of Sin
Author: Anne Steele Appears in 231 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 11:19 First Line: How helpless guilty nature lies Lyrics: 1 How helpless guilty nature lies,
Unconscious of its load!
The heart, unchanged, can never rise
To happiness and God.
2 Can aught, beneath a power divine,
The stubborn will subdue?
'Tis thine, almighty Spirit! thine,
To form the heart anew.
3 'Tis thine, the passions to recall,
And upward bid them rise;
To make the scales of error fall
From reason's darkened eyes;--
4 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live;
A beam of heaven, a vital ray,
'Tis thine alone to give.
5 Oh, change these wretched hearts of ours,
And give them life divine;
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord! be thine. Topics: Access to God; Atonement Necessary; Darkness Spiritual Used With Tune: BALERMA
The Load of Sin
Spirit of grace
Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 92 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 11:19 First Line: Come, sacred Spirit, from above Lyrics: 1 Come, sacred Spirit, from above,
And fill the coldest heart with love:
Oh, turn to flesh the flinty stone,
And let thy sovereign power be known.
2 Speak thou, and from the haughtiest eyes
Shall floods of contrite sorrow rise;
While all their glowing souls are borne
To seek that grace which now they scorn.
3 Oh, let a holy flock await
In crowds around thy temple-gate!
Each pressing on with zeal to be
A living sacrifice to thee. Topics: Contrition Used With Tune: WIMBORNE
Spirit of grace
Oh, that I could repent! Oh, that I could believe!
Author: C. Wesley Appears in 87 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 11:19 Lyrics: 1 Oh, that I could repent!
Oh, that I could believe!
Thou, by thy voice, the marble rent,
The rock in sunder cleave!
Thou, by thy two-edge sword,
My soul and spirit part;
Strike with the hammer of thy word,
And break my stubborn heart.
2 Saviour, and Prince of peace,
The double grace bestow,
Unloose the bands of wickedness,
And let the captive go;
Grant me my sins to feel,
And then the load remove;
Wound, and pour in my wounds, to heal,
The balm of pardoning love.
3 For thine own mercy's sake,
The hindrance now remove,
And into thy protection take
The prisoner of thy love;
In every trying hour
Stand by my feeble soul,
And screen me from my nature's power,
Till thou hast made me whole.
4 This is thy will, I know,
That I should holy be,
Should let my sins this moment go,
This moment turn to thee:
Oh, might I now embrace
Thine all-sufficient power,
And nevermore to sin give place,
And never grieve thee more.
