Jesus, my Saviour and my God

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #419 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience Backslider returning Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour and my God, Thou hast redeem'd me with thy blood; By ties, both natural and divine, I am, and ever will be thine. 2 But ah! should my inconstant heart, Ere I'm aware, from thee depart, What dire reproach would fall on me For such ingratitude to thee! 3 The thought I dread, the crime I hate; The guilt, the shame, I deprecate: And yet so mighty are my foes, I dare not trust my warmest vows. 4 Pity my frailty, dearest Lord! Grace in the needful hour afford: O steel this tim'rous heart of mine With fortitude and love divine. 5 So shall I triumph o'er my fears, And gather joys from all my tears; So shall I to the world proclaim The honours of the Christian name.

I thirst, but not as once I did

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #420 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 I thirst, but not as once I did, The vain delights of earth to share: Thy wounds, Emmanuel, all forbid That I should seek my pleasure there. 2 It was the sight of thy dear cross First wean'd my soul from earthly things; And taught me to esteem as dross The mirth of fools and pomp of kings. 3 I want that grace that springs from thee, That quickens all things where it flows, And makes a wretched thorn, like me, Bloom as the myrtle, or the rose. 4 Dear fountain of delight unknown! No longer sink below the brim; But overflow, and pour me down A living, and life-giving stream! 5 For sure, of all the plants that share The notice of thy Father's eye, None proves less grateful to his care, Or yields him meaner fruit than I.

As pants the hart for cooling springs

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #422 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling springs, So longs my soul, O King of kings, Thy face in near approach to see, So thirsts, great Source of Life, for Thee. 2 With ardent zeal, with strong desires, To Thee, to Thee my soul aspires; When shall I reach thy blest abode? When meet the presence of my God? 3 God of my strength, attend my cry, Say why, my great Preserver, why Excluded from thy sight I go, And bend beneath a weight of wo? 4 Why thus, my soul, with care opprest? And whence the woes that fill my breast? In all thy cares, in all thy woes, On God thy steadfast hope repose. 5 To Him my thanks shall still be paid, My sure defence, my constant aid; His name my zeal shall ever raise, And dictate to my lips his praise. Scripture: Psalm 42:1

Love divine, all love excelling

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #423 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling, Joy of heaven to earth come down! Fix in us thy humble dwelling, All thy faithful mercies crown; Jesus! thou art all compassion, Pure unbounded love thou art; Visit us with thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart! 2 Breathe, O breathe thy lovely spirit Into every troubled breast! Let us all in thee inherit, Let us find the promis'd rest: Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be, End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come! almighty to deliver, Let us all thy life receive! Suddenly return, and never, Nevermore thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve thee as thy hosts above; Pray, and praise thee without ceasing, Glory in thy precious love. 4 Finish then thy new creation, Pure, unspotted may we be; Let us see thy great salvation Perfectly restor'd by thee! Change from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise!

O that my load of sin were gone

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #424 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 O that my load of sin were gone, O that I could at last submit, At Jesus' feet to lay it down! To lay my soul at Jesus' feet! 2 Rest for my soul I long to find: Saviour, if mine indeed thou art, Give me thy meek and lowly mind, And stamp thine image on my heart. 3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin, And fully set my spirit free; I cannot rest till pure within, Till I am wholly lost in thee. 4 Fain would I learn of thee, my God, Thy light and easy burden prove, The cross, all stain'd with hallow'd blood, The labour of thy dying love. 5 I would; but thou must give the power; My heart from every sin release; Bring near, bring near the joyful hour, And fill me with thy perfect peace. 6 Come, Lord, the drooping sinner cheer, Nor let thy chariot wheels delay; Appear in my poor heart, appear; My God, my Saviour, come away!

My Lord! in whose presence I live

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #425 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 My Lord! in whose presence I live, Whose favour alone I desire; To whom all the hopes I conceive, With ardent devotion aspire; How pleasant is all that I meet! From fear of adversity free. I find even sorrow made sweet, Because 'tis assign'd me by thee. 2 Transported I see thee display Thy riches and glory divine; I have only my life to repay, To thee this best gift I resign. Thy will is the treasure I seek, For thou art as faithful as strong; There let me, obedient and meek, Repose myself all the day long, 3 My spirit and faculties fail; O finish what grace has begun! Destroy what is sinful and frail, And dwell in the soul thou hast won! Dear theme of my wonder and praise, I cry, who is worthy as Thou! I can only be silent and gaze; 'Tis all that is left to me now. 4 Oh glory, in which I am lost, Too deep for the plummet of thought! On an ocean of Deity toss'd, I'm swallow'd, I sink into naught. Yet lost and absorb'd as I seem, I chant to the praise of my King; And though overwhelm'd by the theme, Am happy whenever I sing.

My God! permit me not to be

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #426 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 My God! permit me not to be A stranger to myself and thee; Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove, Forgetful of my highest love. 2 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heav'nly birth? Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Father, go? 3 Call me away from flesh and sense; Thy gracious word can draw me thence. I would obey the voice divine, And all inferior joys resign. 4 Be earth, with all her cares, withdrawn; Let noise and vanity be gone; In secret silence of the mind, My heav'n, and there my God, I find.

Return, my roving heart, return

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #427 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Return, my roving heart, return, And chase these shadowy forms no more; Seek out some solitude to mourn, And thy forsaken God implore. 2 Wisdom and pleasure dwell at home; Retir'd and silent seek them there: This is the way to overcome, The way to break the tempter's snare. 3 And thou, my God, whose piercing eye Distinct surveys each deep recess, In these abstracted hours draw nigh, And with thy presence fill the place. 4 Through the mazes of my heart, My search let heav'nly wisdom guide; And still its radiant beams impart, Till all be search'd and purified. 5 Then with the visits of thy love, Vouchsafe my inmost soul to cheer; Till ev'ry grace shall join to prove, That God hath fix'd his dwelling there.
