Faith is the brightest evidence

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #286 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon Lyrics: Faith is the brightest evidence Of things beyond our sight, Breaks through the clouds of flesh and sense, And dwells in heav'nly light. It sets times past in present view, Brings distant prospects home, Of things a thousand years ago, Or thousand years to come. By faith we know the worlds were made By God's almighty word; Abram, to unknown countries led, By faith obeyed the Lord. He sought a city fair and high, Built by th' eternal hands, And faith assures us, though we die, That heav'nly building stands. Scripture: Hebrews 11 Languages: English

Waiting Upon God

Hymnal: The Psalter #363 (1912) Topics: Sin Confession of First Line: From the depths do I invoke Thee Lyrics: 1 From the depths do I invoke Thee, Lord, to me incline Thy ear; To my voice be Thou attentive, And my supplication hear. 2 Lord, if Thou shouldst mark transgressions, In Thy presence who shall stand? But with Thee there is forgiveness, That Thy Name may fear command. 3 For Jehovah I am waiting, And my hope is in His word. In His word of promise given; Yea, my soul waits for the Lord. 4 For the Lord my soul is waiting More than watchers in the night, More than thy for morning watching, Watching for the morning light. 5 Hope in God, ye waiting people; Mercies great with Him abound; With the Lord a full redemption From the guilt of sin is found.

O wash my soul from every sin, And make my guilty conscience clean! 3 My lips with shame my sins confess Against Thy law, against Thy grace: Lord, should Thy judgment grow severe, I am condemned, but Thou art clear. 4 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord, Whose hope, still hovering round Thy Word, Would light on some sweet promise there, Some sure support against despair.

Thus saith the mercy of the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #529 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon Lyrics: Thus saith the mercy of the Lord, "I'll be a God to thee; I'll bless thy num'rous race, and they Shall be a seed for me." Abram believed the promised grace, And gave his sons to God; But water seals the blessing now, That once was sealed with blood. Thus Lydia sanctified her house, When she received the word; Thus the believing jailer gave His household to the Lord. Thus later saints, eternal King! Thine ancient truth embrace; To thee their infant offspring bring, And humbly claim the grace. Scripture: Genesis 17:7 Languages: English

Hark! the Redeemer from on high

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #562 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon Lyrics: [Hark! the Redeemer from on high Sweetly invites his fav'rites nigh; From caves of darkness and of doubt, He gently speaks, and calls us out. "My dove, who hidest in the rock, Thine heart almost with sorrow broke, Lift up thy face, forget thy fear, And let thy voice delight mine ear. "Thy voice to me sounds ever sweet; My graces in thy count'nance meet; Though the vain world thy face despise, 'Tis bright and comely in mine eyes." Dear Lord, our thankful heart receives The hope thine invitation gives; To thee our joyful lips shall raise The voice of prayer and of praise.] [I am my Love's, and he is mine; Our hearts, our hopes, our passions join; Nor let a motion, nor a word, Nor thought, arise to grieve my Lord. My soul to pastures fair he leads, Amongst the lilies where he feeds Amongst the saints, whose robes are white, Washed in his blood, is his delight. Till the day break, and shadows flee, Till the sweet dawning light I see, Thine eyes to me-ward often turn, Nor let my soul in darkness mourn. Be like a hart on mountains green, Leap o'er the hills of fear and sin; Nor guilt nor unbelief divide My Love, my Savior, from my side.] Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:14-17 Languages: English

Often I seek my Lord by night

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #563 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon Lyrics: Often I seek my Lord by night, Jesus, my Love, my soul's delight; With warm desire and restless thought I seek him oft, but find him not. Then I arise and search the street, Till I my Lord, my Savior meet: I ask the watchmen of the night, "Where did you see my soul's delight?" Sometimes I find him in my way, Directed by a heav'nly ray; I leap for joy to see his face, And hold him fast in mine embrace. [I bring him to my mother's home, Nor does my Lord refuse to come To Zion's sacred chambers, where My soul first drew the vital air. He gives me there his bleeding heart, Pierced for my sake with deadly smart; I give my soul to him, and there Our loves their mutual tokens share.] I charge you, all ye earthly toys, Approach not to disturb my joys; Nor sin nor hell come near my heart, Nor cause my Savior to depart. Scripture: Song of Solomon 3:1-5 Languages: English

Psalm 38

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.89 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon First Line: Amidst thy wrath remember love Lyrics: Amidst thy wrath remember love, Restore thy servant, Lord; Nor let a Father's chast'ning prove Like an avenger's sword. Thine arrows stick within my heart, My flesh is sorely pressed; Between the sorrow and the smart, My spirit finds no rest. My sins a heavy load appear, And o'er my head are gone; Too heavy they for me to bear, Too hard for me t' atone. My thoughts are like a troubled sea, My head still bending down; And I go mourning all the day, Beneath my Father's frown. Lord, I am weak and broken sore, None of my powers are whole: The inward anguish makes me roar, The anguish of my soul. All my desire to thee is known, Thine eye counts every tear; And every sigh, and every groan, Is noticed by thine ear. Thou art my God, my only hope; My God will hear my cry; My God will bear my spirit up, When Satan bids me die. [My foot is ever apt to slide, My foes rejoice to see 't; They raise their pleasure and their pride When they supplant my feet. But I'll confess my guilt to thee, And grieve for all my sin; I'll mourn how weak my graces be, And beg support divine. My God, forgive my follies past, And be for ever nigh; O Lord of my salvation, haste, Before thy servant die.] Scripture: Psalm 38 Languages: English
