And shall we still be slaves

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And shall we still be slaves, And in our fetters lie, When summoned by a voice divine T'assert our liberty? 2 Did Christ the Saviour bleed, Our freedom to obtain? And shall we trample on His blood, And glory in our chain? 3 Shall we go on to sin, Because His grace abounds; Or crucify the Lord again, And open all His wounds? 4 Forbid it, mighty God! Nor let it e'er be said That those, for whom Thy Son has died, In vice are lost and dead.

Her walls before you stand, dear as the apple of your eye, and graven on your hand. 3 For her my tears shall fall, for her my prayers ascend, to her my cares and toils be give'n till toils and cares shall end. 4 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heav'nly ways, her sweet communion, solemn vows, her hymns of love and praise. 5 Sure as your truth shall last, to Zion shall be given the brightest glories earth can yield, and brighter bliss of heaven.

I would, but cannot, sing

Author: John Newton Appears in 68 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I would, but cannot, sing, I would, but cannot, pray; For Satan meets me when I try, And frights my soul away. 2. I would, but can’t, repent, Though I endeavor oft; This stony heart can ne’er relent Till Jesus makes it soft. 3. I would, but cannot, love, Though loved by love divine; No arguments have pow’r to move A soul so base as mine. 4. I would, but cannot, rest In God’s most holy will; I know what he appoints is best, Yet murmur at it still. 5. Oh, could I but believe! Then all would easy be; I would, but cannot — Lord, relieve, My help must come from thee! 6. But if indeed I would, Though I can nothing do, Yet the desire is something good, For which my praise is due. 7. By nature prone to ill, Till thine appointed hour, I was as destitute of will As now I am of power. 8. Wilt thou not crown at length The work thou hast begun? And, with the will, afford me strength In all thy ways to run? Topics: Powerlessness; Sinfulness Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS Text Sources: Goble 159
