Indulgent God! to Thee I raise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 Indulgent God! to Thee I raise My spirit fraught with joy and praise: Grateful I bow before thy throne, My debt of mercy there to own. 2 Rivers descending, Lord! from Thee Perpetual glide to solace me: Their varied virtues to rehearse, Demands an everlasting verse. 3 And yet there is, beyond the rest, One stream--the widest and the best-- Salvation! Lo, the purple flood Rolls rich with my Redeemer's blood. 4 I taste--delight succeeds to wo; I bathe--no waters cleanse me so: Such joy and purity to share, I would remain enraptur'd there. 5 Till death shall give this soul to know The fulness sought in vain below;-- The fulness of that boundless sea Whence flow'd the river down to me. 6 My soul--with such a scene in view-- Bids mortals joys a glad adieu; Nor dreads a few chastising woes Sent with such love--so soon to close. Scripture: Psalm 46:4

Happy the man, whose wishes climb

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 Happy the man, whose wishes climb To mansions in the skies! He looks on all the joys of time With undesiring eyes. 2 In vain soft pleasure spreads her charms, And throws her silken chain; And wealth and fame invite his arms, And tempt his ear in vain. 3 He knows, that all these glitt'ring things Must yield to sure decay; And sees on time's extended wings How swift they flee away! 4 To things unseen by mortal eyes, A beam of sacred light Directs his view; his prospects rise All permanent and bright. 5 His hopes are fix'd on joys to come: Those blissful scenes on high Shall flourish in immortal bloom, When time and nature die.

Return, my roving heart, return

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 184 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Return, my roving heart, return, And chase these shadowy forms no more; Seek out some solitude to mourn, And thy forsaken God implore. 2 Wisdom and pleasure dwell at home; Retir'd and silent seek them there: This is the way to overcome, The way to break the tempter's snare. 3 And thou, my God, whose piercing eye Distinct surveys each deep recess, In these abstracted hours draw nigh, And with thy presence fill the place. 4 Through the mazes of my heart, My search let heav'nly wisdom guide; And still its radiant beams impart, Till all be search'd and purified. 5 Then with the visits of thy love, Vouchsafe my inmost soul to cheer; Till ev'ry grace shall join to prove, That God hath fix'd his dwelling there.
Return, my roving heart, return

Lord, I cannot let thee go

Meter: Irregular Appears in 169 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Lord, I cannot let thee go, Till a blessing thou bestow; Do not turn away thy face, Mine's an urgent, pressing case. 2 Dost thou ask me, who I am? Ah! my Lord, thou know'st my name! Yet the question gives a plea, To support my suit with thee! 3 Thou didst once a wretch behold, In rebellion blindly bold; Scorn thy grace--thy pow'r defy-- That poor rebel, Lord, was I. 4 Once a sinner near despair, Sought thy mercy-seat by pray'r; Mercy heard and set him free, Lord, that mercy came to me. 5 Many days have passed since then, Many changes I have seen; Yet have been upheld till now; Who could hold me up but thou? 6 Thou hast help'd in ev'ry need-- This emboldens me to plead; After so much mercy past, Canst thou let me sink at last? 7 No--I must maintain my hold-- 'Tis thy goodness makes me bold; I can no denial take, When I plead for Jesus' sake. Scripture: Genesis 32:26
Lord, I cannot let thee go
