Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 123 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place, Great God, and dwell before thy face? The man who loves religion now, And humbly walk with God below; 2 Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean, Whose lips shall speak the things they mean. No slanders dwell upon his tongue; He hates to do a neighbor wrong. 3 He will not trust an ill report, Nor vent it to his neighbour's hurt; Sinners of state he can despise, But saints are honour'd in his eyes. 4 Firm to his word he ever stood, And always makes his promise good: Nor will he change the thing he swears, Whatever pain or loss he bears. 5 He never deals in bribing gold, And mourns that justice should be sold. If others vex and grind the poor, Sweet charity attends his door. 6 He loves his enemies, and prays For those that curse him to his face; And doth to all men still the same, That he could hope or wish from them. 7 Yet, when his holiest works are done, His soul depends on grace alone. This is the man thy face shall see, And dwell for ever, Lord! with thee.

Thou art my portion, O my God!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 171 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Thou art my portion, O my God! Soon as I know thy way, My heart makes haste t'obey thy word, And suffers no delay. 2 I choose the path of heav'nly truth, And glory in my choice; Not all the riches of the earth Could make me so rejoice. 3 The testimonies of thy grace I set before mine eyes; Thence I derive my daily strength, And there my comfort lies. 4 Whene'er I wander from thy path I think upon my ways; Then turn my feet to thy commands, And trust thy pard'ning grace. 5 Now I am thine, for ever thine: O save thy servant, Lord! Thou art my shield, my hiding-place; My hope is in thy Word. 6 Thou hast inclin'd this heart of mine Thy statutes to fulfil; And thus, till mortal life shall end, Would I perform thy will.

Dost thou my worthless name record

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Dost thou my worthless name record, Free of thy holy city, Lord? Am I, a sinner, call'd to share The precious privileges there? 2 Art thou my King, my Father styl'd? Am I thy servant and child? Whilst wretched millions draw their breath In lands of ignorance and death. 3 Shall I receive this grace in vain? Shall I my great vocation stain? Away, ye works in darkness wrought! Away each sensual, wanton though! 4 My soul, I charge thee to excel In thinking right and acting well. Deep let thy searching pow'rs engage, Unbiass'd, in the sacred page. 5 Strong, and more strong, thy passions rule, Advancing still in virtue's school; Contending still, with noble strife, To imitate thy Saviour's life.

Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 228 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews, And nobler speech, that angels use: If love be absent, I am found, Like tinkling brass, an empty sound. 2 Were I inspir'd to preach and tell All that is done in heav'n and hell; Or could my faith the world remove, Still I am nothing without love. 3 Should I distribute all my store To feed the bowels of the poor, Or give my body to the flame, To gain a martyr's glorious name: 4 If love to God, and love to men Be absent, all my hopes are vain; Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal, The work of love can e'er fulfil.
