Our Ears Have Heard

Author: C. H. Spurgeon Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Our ears have heard, O glorious God Lyrics: 1 Our ears have heard, O glorious God, What work You did of old, And how the heathen felt Your rod, Our father's oft have told. 2 You had a favor to the seed; Which sprang of Jacob's line, And still on man before decreed, That love electing shine. 3 From grace alone their strength shall spring, Not bow nor sword can save; To God alone their LORD and King, Shall all their banners wave. 4 Awake, O LORD, of Thine elect, Achieve Thy great design; Thy saints from Thee alone expect, Salvation's light to shine. 5 In Thee alone we make our boasts And glory all day long; Arise at once, our Lord of hosts, And fill our mouth with song.

The load of Sin

Appears in 233 hymnals 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.

Come, Humble Sinner, In Whose Breast

Author: Edmund Jones Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 711 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, humble sinner, in whose breast A thousand thoughts revolve, Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed, And make this last resolve: 2 I'll go to Jesus, though my sins Like mountains round me close; I know His courts, I'll enter in, Whatever may oppose. 3 Prostrate I'll lie before His throne, And there my guilt confess; I'll tell Him, I'm a wretch undone Without His sovereign grace. 4 Perhaps He will admit my plea, Perhaps will hear my prayer; But if I perish I will pray, And perish only there. 5 I can but perish if I go; I am resolved to try; For if I stay away, I know I must forever die. AMEN. Topics: Jesus, Our Shepherd Used With Tune: BALERMA

Oh, for a Heart to Praise

Appears in 1,176 hymnals First Line: Oh, for a heart to praise my God Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free;-- A heart that always feels thy blood, So freely shed for me. 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My great Redeemer's throne, Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone! 3 Oh, for a lowly, contrite heart, Believing, true and clean; Which neither life, nor death can part, From him that dwells within; 4 A heart in every thought renewed, And full of love divine, Perfect, and right, and pure, and good, A copy, Lord, of thine!
