Great God, indulge my humble claim

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #409 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Great God, indulge my heartfelt claim; Be Thou my hope, my joy, my rest; The glories that compose Thy name Stand all engaged to make me blest. 2 Thou great and good, Thou just and wise, Thou art my Father and my God; And I am thine by sacred ties, Thy child and servant, bought with blood. 3 With heart and eyes, and lifted hands, For Thee I long, for Thee I look, As travellers in thirsty lands, Pant for the cooling water-brook. 4 E'en life itself, without Thy love, No lasting pleasures can afford: Yea, 'twould a tiresome burden prove, If I were banish'd from Thee, Lord. 5 I'll lift my hands, I'll raise my voice, While I have breath to pray or praise; This work shall make my heart rejoice Throughout the remnant of my days.

Let thoughtless thousands choose the road

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #410 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Let thoughtless thousands choose the road That leads the soul away from God; This happiness, dear Lord, be mine, To live and die entirely Thine. 2 On Christ, by faith, my soul would live; From Him, my life, my all receive; To Him devote my fleeting hours; Serve Him alone with all my powers. 3 Christ is my everlasting all; To Him I look, on Him I call; He will my ev'ry want supply, In time, and through eternity. 4 Soon will the Lord, my Life, appear; Soon shall I end my trials here; Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain; To live is Christ, to die is gain. 5 Soon will the saints in glory meet, Soon walk through ev'ry golden street, And sing on ev'ry blissful plain, To live is Christ, to die is gain.

O Lord, Thy heavenly grace impart

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #411 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 O Lord, Thy heavenly grace impart, And fix my frail, inconstant heart; Henceforth my chief desire shall be To dedicate myself to Thee. 2 Whate’er pursuits my time employ, One thought shall fill my soul with joy; That silent, secret thought shall be, That all my hopes are fix'd on Thee. 3 Thy glorious eye pervadeth space; Thy presence, Lord, fills every place; And, wheresoe’er my lot may be, Still shall my spirit cleave to Thee. 4 Renouncing ev'ry worldly thing, And safe beneath Thy spreading wing, My sweetest thought henceforth shall be, That all I want I find in Thee.

Come, Saviour Jesus from above

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #413 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Come, Saviour Jesus from above, Assist me with Thy heavenly grace; Empty my heart of earthly love, And for Thyself prepare the place. 2 Oh, let Thy sacred presence fill And set my longing spirit free, Which pants to have no other will, But night and day to feast on Thee. 3 Henceforth may no profane delight Divide this consecrated soul; Possess it Thou, who hast the right, As Lord and Master of the whole. 4 Nothing on earth do I desire, But Thy pure love within my breast; This, only this, will I require, And freely give up all the rest.

How vain are all things here below!

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #414 (1870) Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 How vain are all things here below! How false, and yet how fair! Each pleasure hath its poison too, And every sweet a snare. 2 The brightest things below the sky Give but a flatt'ring light; We should suspect some danger nigh Where we possess delight. 3 Our dearest joys, and nearest friends, The partners of our blood, How they divide our wavering minds, And leave but half for God! 4 Dear Saviour, let Thy beauties be My soul's eternal food; And grace command my heart away From all created good.

Vain, delusive world, adieu

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #415 (1870) Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Vain, delusive world, adieu, With all of creature good! Only Jesus I pursue, Who bought me with His blood: All thy pleasures I forego; I trample on thy wealth and pride; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus, crucified. 2 Other knowledge I disdain; 'Tis all but vanity: Christ, the Lamb of God, was slain,-- He tasted death for me. Me to save from endless woe The sin-atoning Victim died: Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus, crucified. 3 Him to know is life and peace, And pleasure without end; This is all my happiness, On Jesus to depend; Daily in His grace to grow, And ever in His faith abide; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus, crucified.

I send the joys of earth away

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #416 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 I send the joys of earth away; Away, ye tempters of the mind, False as the smooth, deceitful sea, And empty as the whistling wind. 2 Your streams were floating me along Down the gulf of dark despair, And whilst I listen'd to your song, Your streams had e’en conveyed me there. 3 Lord, I adore Thy matchless grace, That warn'd me of that dark abyss, That drew me from those treacherous seas, And bade me seek superior bliss. 4 There, from the bosom of my God, Oceans of endless pleasure roll; There would I fix my last abode, And drown the sorrows of my soul.

What thousands never knew the road!

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #417 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 What thousands never knew the road! What thousands hate it when 'tis known! None but the upright and sincere Will seek or choose it for their own. 2 A thousand ways in ruin end, One only leads to joys on high; By that my willing steps ascend, Pleased with a journey to the sky. 3 No more I ask, or hope to find Delight or happiness below; Sorrow may well possess the mind That feeds where thorns and thistles grow. 4 The joy that fades is not for me, I seek immortal joys above; There glory, without end, shall be The bright reward of faith and love.

God of mercy! God of grace!

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #418 (1870) Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 God of mercy! God of grace! Hear our penitential songs; Oh, restore Thy suppliant race, Thou to whom our praise belongs! 2 Deep regret for follies past, Talents wasted, time misspent; Hearts debased by worldly cares, Thankless for the blessings lent; 3 Foolish fears and fond desires; Vain regrets for things as vain; Lips too seldom taught to praise, Oft to murmur and complain; 4 These, and ev'ry secret fault, Fill'd with grief and shame, we own; Humbled at Thy feet we lie, Seeking pardon from Thy throne.
