"Led by the Spirit of God"

Author: Hart Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Descend from heaven, celestial Dove Lyrics: 1 Descend from heaven, celestial Dove, With flames of pure seraphic love Our ravished breasts inspire; Fountain of joy, blest Paraclete, Warm our cold hearts with heavenly heat, And set our souls on fire. 2 Breathe on these bones, so dry and dead; Thy sweetest, softest influence shed In all our hearts abroad; Point out the place where grace abounds; Direct us to the bleeding wounds Of our incarnate God. 3 Conduct, blest Guide, thy sinner-train To Calvary, where the Lamb was slain, And with us there abide; Let us our loved Redeemer meet, Weep o’er his piercèd hands and feet, And view his wounded side. 4 [From which pure fountain if thou draw Water to quench the fiery law, And blood to purge our sin; We’ll tell the Father in that day, (And thou shalt witness what we say), “We’re clean, just God, we’re clean.”] 5 Teach us for what to pray, and how; And since, kind God, ’tis only thou The throne of grace canst move, Pray thou for us, that we, through faith, May feel the effects of Jesus’ death, Through faith, that works by love. 6 [Thou, with the Father and the Son, Art that mysterious Three-in-One, God blest for evermore! Whom though we cannot comprehend, Feeling thou art the sinner’s Friend, We love thee and adore.] Topics: Person and Power of the Spirit

Good Hope, through Grace

Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Good hope, thro' grace, the saints possess Lyrics: 1 Good hope, thro' grace, the saints possess, The fruit of Jesus’ righteousness, And by his Spirit given; Faith eyes the promise firm and sure, And hope expects for evermore To dwell with Christ in heaven. 2 Good hope is born of sovereign grace, And lives in Jesus’ righteousness, With faith, and peace, and love; What faith believes good hope desires, And after perfect bliss aspires, In the bright world above. 3 [All through the wilderness below, Good hope expects more good to know; And thus is kept alive The soul, that many a trial bears, And conflicts hard with doubts and fears, Till joy and peace arrive.] 4 [When sore temptations haunt the soul, Good hope shall all their power control, And save from sad despair; While faith looks up to Jesus’ blood, Good hope rides safely o’er the flood; Nor dreads destruction there.] 5 When gloomy death, in dread array, Appears to call the saint away, Faith looks beyond the flood, And when the soul to march prepares, Good hope sends out her fervent prayers, And dies in peace with God.

Reigning Grace

Author: Kent Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Hark! how the blood-bought hosts above Lyrics: 1 Hark! how the blood-bought hosts above Conspire to praise redeeming love, In sweet harmonious strains; And while they strike the golden lyres, This glorious theme each bosom fires, That grace triumphant reigns. 2 Join thou, my soul, for thou canst tell How grace divine broke up thy cell, And loosed thy native chains; And still, from that auspicious day, How oft art thou constrained to say, That grace triumphant reigns. 3 [Grace, till the tribes redeemed by blood, Are brought to know themselves and God, Her empire shall maintain; To call when he appoints the day, And from the mighty take the prey, Shall grace triumphant reign.] 4 When called to meet the King of dread, Should love compose my dying bed, And grace my soul sustain, Then, ere I quit this mortal clay, I’ll raise my fainting voice, and say, Let grace triumphant reign.

The Outcasts of Israel

Author: Hart Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Lord, pity outcasts, vile and base Lyrics: 1 Lord, pity outcasts, vile and base, The poor dependants on thy grace, Whom men disturbers call; By sinners and by saints withstood; For these too bad, for those too good; Condemned or shunned by all. 2 Though faithful Abraham us reject, And though his ransomed race elect Agree to give us up, Thou art our Father, and thy name From everlasting is the same; On that we build our hope.
