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.

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

Meter: Irregular Appears in 700 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Communion with Christ, and love to him Lyrics: 1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord; 'Tis thy Saviour, hear his word: Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee: "Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?" 2 "I deliver'd thee, when bound, And, when bleeding, heal'd thy wound, Sought thee wand'ring, set thee right, Turn'd thy darkness into light. 3 "Can a woman's tender care Cease toward the child she bare? Yes, she may forgetful be, Yet will I remember thee. 4 "Mine is an unchanging love, Higher than the heights above; Deeper than the depths beneath-- Free and faithful--strong as death. 5 "Thou shalt see my glory soon, When the work of grace is done; Partner of my throne shalt be, Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?" 6 Lord, it is my chief complaint, That my love is week and faint; Yet I love thee, and adore; O for grace to love thee more! Scripture: John 21:16

Dear Jesus, let thy pitying eye

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 304 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Backslider returning Lyrics: 1 Dear Jesus, let thy pitying eye Call back a wand'ring sheep; False to my vows, like Peter, I Would fain, like Peter, weep. 2 Now let me be by grace restor'd, To me thy mercy shown; Oh turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 3 Almighty Prince, enthron'd above, Repentance to impart, Grant, thro' the greatness of thy love, The humble, contrite heart. 4 Give, what I should have long implor'd, A taste of love unknown; Oh, turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 5 Behold me, Saviour, from above, Nor suffer me to die; For life, and happiness, and love Smile in thy gracious eye. 6 Speak but the reconciling word; Let mercy melt me down; Oh, turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone.
Dear Jesus, let thy pitying eye
