Whence do our mournful Thoughts arise?

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XXXII (1766) Topics: Assistance against Temptations Lyrics: 1 Whence do our mournful Thoughts arise? And where our Courage fled? Has restless Sin and raging Hell Struck all our Comforts dead? 2 Have we forgot th' Almighty Name That form'd the Earth and Sea? And can an all-creating Arm Grow weary or decay? 3 Treasures of everlasting Might In our Jehovah dwell; He gives the Conquest to the Weak, And treads their Foes to Hell. 4 Mere mortal Pow'r shall fade and die, And youthful Vigour cease, But we that wait upon the Lord, Shall feel our Strength increase. 5 The Saints shall mount on Eagles Wings, And taste the promis'd Bliss, 'Till their unwearied Feet arrive Where perfect Pleasure is. Scripture: Isaiah 40:27-30 Languages: English

Now let the Lord my Saviour smile

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.L (1766) Topics: Assistance against Temptations Lyrics: 1 Now let the Lord my Saviour smile, And shew my Name upon his Heart; I would forget my Pains a while, And in the Pleasure lose the Smart. 2 But, oh! it swells my Sorrows high To see my blessed Jesus frown; My Spirits sink, my Comforts die, And all the Springs of Love are down. 3 Yet why, my Soul, why these Complaints? Still while he frowns his Bowels move; Still on his Heart he bears his Saints, And feels their Sorrows and his Love. 4 My Name is printed on his Breast; His Book of Life contains my Name; I'd rather have it there imprest, Than in the bright Records of Fame. 5 When the last Fire burns all Things here, Those Letters shall securely stand, And in the Lamb's fair Book appear, Writ by th' Eternal Father's Hand. 6 Now shall my Minutes smoothly run, Whilst here I wait my Father's Will; My rising and my setting Sun Roll gently up and down the Hill.

O the Delights, the heav'nly Joys

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XCI (1766) Topics: Temptations of the World Lyrics: 1 O the Delights, the heav'nly Joys, The Glories of the Place, Where Jesus sheds the brightest Beams Of his o'erflowing Grace! 2 Sweet Majesty and awful Love Sit smiling on his Brow, And all the glorious Ranks above, At humble Distance bow. [3 Princes to his imperial Name, Bend their bright Sceptres down, Dominions, Thrones, and Pow'rs rejoice To see him wear the Crown.] 4 Archangels sound his lofty Praise Through ev'ry heav'nly Street; And lay their highest Honours down, Submissive at his Feet. 5 Those soft, those blessed Feet of his, That once rude Iron tore, High on a Throne of Light they stand, And all the Saints adore. 6 His Head, the dear Majestick Head, That cruel Thorns did wound, See what immortal Glories shine, And circle it around. 7 This is the Man, th' exalted Man, Whom we unseen adore; But when our Eyes behold his Face, Our Hearts shall love him more. [8 Lord, how our Souls are all on Fire To see thy blest Abode, Our Tongues rejoice in Tunes of Praise To our incarnate God. 9 And whilst our Faith enjoys this Sight, We long to leave our Clay, And wish thy fiery Chariots, Lord, To fetch our Souls away.] Languages: English

When in the Light of Faith Divine

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CI (1766) Topics: Temptations of the World Lyrics: 1 When in the Light of Faith Divine We look on Things below, Honour, and Gold, and sensual Joy, How vain and dang'rous too? [2 Honour's a Puff of noisy Breath; Yet Men expose their Blood, And venture everlasting Death, To gain that airy Good. 3 Whilst others starve the nobler Mind, And feed on shining Dust; They rob the Serpent of his food T' indulge a sordid Lust.] 4 The Pleasures that allure our Sense Are dang'rous Snares to Souls; There's but a Drop of flatt'ring Sweet, And dash'd with bitter Bowls. 5 God is mine All-sufficient Good, My Portion and my Choice; In him my vast Desires are fill'd, And all my Pow'rs rejoice. 6 In vain the World accosts my Ear, And tempts my Heart anew; I cannot buy your Bliss so dear, Nor part with Heav'n for you.

Now Satan comes with dreadful Roar

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CLVII (1766) Topics: Satan His Various Temptations Lyrics: 2 Now Satan comes with dreadful Roar And threatens to destroy; He worries whom he can't devour With a malicious Joy. 2 Ye Sons of God, oppose his Rage, Resist, and he'll be gone; Thus did our dearest Lord engage And vanquish him alone. 3 Now he appears almost divine, Like Innocence and Love; But the old Serpent lurks within When he assumes the Dove. 4 Fly from the false Deceiver's Tongue, Ye Sons of Adam, fly; Our Parents found the Snare too strong, Nor should the Children try.

At even, ere the sun was set

Author: Henry Twells (1823-1900) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #13 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Jesus temptations Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set, the sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we oppressed with various ills draw near; what if thy form we cannot see? we know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel; for some are sick, and some are sad, and some have never loved thee well, and some have lost the love they had; 4 And some have found the world is vain, yet from the world they break not free; and some have friends who give them pain, yet have not sought a friend in thee; 5 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, for none are wholly free from sin; and they who fain would serve thee best are conscious most of wrong within. 6 O Saviour Christ, thou too art man; thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; thy kind but searching glance can scan the very wounds that shame would hide. 7 Thy touch has still its ancient power; no word from thee can fruitless fall: Hear, in this solemn evening hour, and in thy mercy heal us all.

See Christ, Who on the River's Shore

Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #14 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Temptations Lyrics: 1 See Christ, who on the river's shore with John the Baptist stood, his secret in the name he bore: the holy Lamb of God. See all his body washed and wet, baptized in Jordan's flow, as here his shame and glory meet, his pain and triumph show. 2 See Christ submits himself to John; the Lord bows to his slave! See where he stoops, the sinless one, to share a sinner's grave! See him arising from the stream where all the past now dies; for yet a colder tomb he came and now calls us to rise. 3 See Christ, to whom the Father speaks as his beloved Son; Messiah's chosen task he takes, the servant's work begun. See him on whom the Spirit fell, descending like a dove, in whom we find a springing well of peace and joy and love. 4 See Christ through forty hungry days with sand and stones for bed; in lonely trials and desert ways with him may we be led. See him, the anointed Lamb who died, to whom all praise we bring; see Christ baptized, Christ crucified, and Christ our reigning King! Scripture: Mark 1:9-13 Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL
