My Lord, Didst Thou Endure Such Smart?
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: My Lord, didst Thou endure such smart Lyrics: 1 My Lord, didst Thou endure such smart,
My life, when forfeited, to save?
And didst Thou bear upon Thy heart
My name, when rising from the grave?
2 Am I in Thy remembrance still,
Midst all the glories of Thy throne?
To form Thy servant to Thy will,
And fix my dwelling near Thy own?
3 What can a feeble worm repay
For love so infinite as Thine?
The torrent bears my soul away,
The impetuous stream of grace divine.
4 To Thee, my Lord, it bears me on,
Self shall be deified no more;
By self betrayed, by self undone,
I live by Thy recovering power.
5 Accept a soul so dearly bought;
Bought by Thy life upon the tree;
A soul which by Thy Spirit taught,
Knows no delight but serving Thee. Used With Tune: DEPAUW Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)
My Lord, Didst Thou Endure Such Smart?
Thou Art, O God! A Spirit Pure
Author: John Needham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou art, O God! a Spirit pure,
Invisible to mortal eyes;
Th’immortal, and th’eternal King,
The great, the good, the only wise.
2 Whilst nature changes, and her works
Corrupt, decay, dissolve and die,
Thy essence pure no change shall see,
Secure of immortality.
3 Thou great invisible! what hand
Can draw Thy image spotless fair?
To what in Heaven, to what on earth
Can men th’immortal King compare?
4 Let stupid heathens frame their gods
Of gold and silver, wood and stone;
Ours is the God that made the heavens,
Jehovah He, and God alone.
5 My soul, Thy purest homage pay,
In truth and spirit Him adore;
More shall this please than sacrifice,
Than outward forms delight Him more. Used With Tune: DEPAUW Text Sources: Hymns Devotional and Moral on Various Subjects (Bristol, England: S. Farley, 1768)
Thou Art, O God! A Spirit Pure
Can Aught Engross my Thoughts?
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Can aught below engross my thoughts? Lyrics: 1 Can aught below engross my thoughts?
Or am I to the world confined?
Nay, let my pure affections soar
To objects of a nobler kind!
2 I know I’m but a pilgrim here
That seeks a better, promised land:
Then may I run and never tire,
’Till that celestial home’s obtained.
3 Resolved to tread the sacred way
That Jesus watered with His blood,
I bend my fixed and cheerful course
On that rough path my Master trod.
4 Contemptuous of the world I live,
A daily death rejoice to die:
And, while I move and walk below,
My absent heart mounts up on high.
5 O Light of life, still guide my steps,
Without Thy friendly aid I stray:
Lead me, my God, for I am blind,
Direct me and point out my way.
6 Let this vain world applaud or frown,
Still may I Heaven’s path pursue:
Still may I stand unshook, and keep
The center of my hopes in view!
7 What is the world’s good word to me,
If by my God from glory driv’n?
Can it redeem my soul from hell,
Or recompense my loss of Heav’n?
8 Tho’ Satan, earth, and self oppose,
Yet, through Thy help, I’ll persevere;
To Canaan’s hills my eyes lift up.
And choose my lot and portion there.
9 The way that leads to glory lies
Through ill report, contempt and loss
Assist me to deny myself,
To follow Thee and bear Thy cross.
10 Let Satan never come between,
Nor separate my God and me;
But may my soul, in every storm,
Find its sure resting place in Thee.

Can Aught Engross my Thoughts?
See, Whilst The Saint Expiring Lies
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: See, whilst the saint expiring lies Lyrics:
1 See, whilst the saint expiring lies,
Upward he lifts his longing eyes;
In praise he spends his latest breath,
Triumphs in pain, and sings in death.
2 Oh who can tell what secret power
Supports him in the gloomy hour;
What unseen hand is with him there,
Or whence proceeds that cheerful air?
3 A smile upon his lips appears,
His face a heav’nly aspect wears;
Each grief removed, each sin forgiv’n,
On earth he feels the dawn of Heav’n.
4 Sinners behold, and wondering cry,
"Thus, like the righteous, let me die";
But such an end they’ll never find,
Who leave not such a life behind.

The bounty of Thy perfect love,

For shoulders broad and strong to bear,
For feet to run on errands swift.

For strength to do, and will to dare,
We thank Thee, O Thou Lord of all. Used With Tune: DEPAUW

Dear brethren, we shall meet again. Used With Tune: DEPAUW

Kindred In Christ, For His Dear Sake
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 215 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Kindred in Christ, for His dear sake,
A hearty welcome here receive;
May we together now partake
The joys which only He can give!
2 To you and us by grace ’tis giv’n,
To know the Savior’s precious name;
And shortly we shall meet in Heav’n,
Our hope, our way, our end, the same.
3 May He, by whose kind care we meet,
Send His good Spirit from above,
Make our communications sweet,
And cause our hearts to burn with love!
4 Forgotten be each worldly theme,
When Christians see each other thus;
We only wish to speak of Him,
Who lived, and died, and reigns for us.
5 We’ll talk of all He did and said,
And suffered for us here below;
The path He marked for us to tread,
And what He’s doing for us now.
6 Thus, as the moments pass away,
We’ll love, and wonder, and adore;
And hasten on the glorious day,
When we shall meet to part no more. Used With Tune: DE PAUW Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779)
Kindred In Christ, For His Dear Sake
Where Should I Be, If God Should Say
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where should I be, if God should say,
I must not live another day;
And send and take away my breath;
What is eternity and death?
2 My body is of little worth,
’Twould soon be mingled with the earth;
For we were made of clay, and must
Again, at death, return to dust.
3 But where my living soul would go
I do not, and I cannot know;
For none were e’er sent back to tell
The joys of Heaven, or pains of hell.
4 Yet, Heav’n must be a world of bliss
Where God Himself for ever is:
Where saints around His throne adore,
And never sin or suffer more.
5 And hell’s a state of endless woe,
Where unrelenting sinners go;
Though none that seek the Savior’s grace
Shall ever see that dreadful place.
6 O! let me then at once apply
To Him who did for sinners die;
And this shall be my great reward—
To dwell for ever with the Lord. Used With Tune: DEPAUW Text Sources: Hymns for Infant Minds (Armstrong's 2nd ed.) by Ann T. Gilbert and Jane Taylor (Boston; Samuel T. Armstrong, 1810)
