O that my load of sin were gone
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 447 hymnals 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!
O that my load of sin were gone
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 228 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews,
And nobler speech than 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.
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
I ask'd the Lord that I might grow
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 136 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The Christian life figuratively described as Taking up the Cross Lyrics: 1 I ask'd the Lord that I might grow
In faith, and love, and every grace,
Might more of his salvation know,
And seek, more earnestly, his face.
2 'Twas he who taught me thus to pray,
And he, I trust, has answer'd prayer;
But it has been in such a way
As almost drove me to despair.
3 I hop'd that in some favor'd hour
At once he'd answer my request,
And by his love's constraining power
Subdue my sins and give me rest.
4 Instead of this he made me feel
The hidden evils of my heart,
And let the angry powers of hell
Assault my soul in every part.
5 Yea, more, with his own hand he seem'd
Intent to aggravate my wo,
Cross'd all the fair designs I schem'd,
Blasted my gourds, and laid me low.
6 "Lord, why is this?" I trembling cry'd;
"Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death?"
"'Tis in this way," the Lord replied,
"I answer prayer for grace and faith!
7 "These inward trials I employ
From self and pride to set thee free:
And break thy schemes of earthly joy,
That thou may'st seek thy all in me."
I ask'd the Lord that I might grow
And let this feeble body fail
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 357 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Christian assurance and confidence in God Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail,
And let it faint or die;
My soul shall quit the mournful vale,
And soar to worlds on high:
Shall join the disembodied saints,
And find its long-sought rest:
That only bliss for which it pants
In the Redeemer's breast.
2 In hope of that immortal crown,
I now the cross sustain;
And gladly wonder up and down,
And smile at toil and pain:
I suffer on my three-score years
Till my Deliv'rer come:
And wipe away his servant's tears,
And take his exile home.
3 O what hath Jesus bought for me!
Before my ravished eyes,
Rivers of life divine I see,
And trees of paradise!
I see a world of spirits bright,
Who taste the pleasures there!
The all are rob'd in spotless white,
And conqu'ring palms they bear.
4 O what are all my suff'rings here,
If, Lord, thou count me meet,
With that enraptur'd host t'appear,
And worship at thy feet!
Give joy or grief, give ease or pain,
Take life or friends away:
But let me find them all again
In that eternal day.
And let this feeble body fail
Courage, my soul! while God is near
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Christian assurance and confidence in God Lyrics: 1 Courage, my soul! while God is near,
What enemy hast thou to fear?
How canst thou want a sure defence,
Whose refuge is Omnipotence?
2 Tho' thickest dangers crowd my way,
My God can chase my fears away:
My steadfast heart on him relies,
And all those dangers still defies.
3 Tho' billows after billows roll,
To overwhelm my sinking soul;
Firm as a rock my faith shall stand,
Upheld by God's almighty hand.
4 In life, his presence is my aid;
In death, 'twill guide me thro' the shade;
Chase all my rising fears away,
And turn my darkness into day.
Courage, my soul! while God is near
My spirit looks to God alone
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 128 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Christian assurance and confidence in God Lyrics: 1 My spirit looks to God alone;
My rock and refuge is his throne;
In all my fears, in all my straits,
My soul on his salvation waits.
2 Trust him, ye saints, in all your ways,
Pour out your hearts before his face:
When helpers fail, and foes invade,
God is our all-sufficient aid.
3 False are the men of high degree,
The baser sort are vanity;
Laid in the balance, both appear
Light as a puff of empty air.
4 Make not increasing gold your trust,
Nor set your hearts on glittering dust;
Why will you grasp the fleeting smoke,
And not believe what God hath spoke?
5 Once has his awful voice declared,
Once and again my ears have heard,
"All power is his eternal due:
He must be fear'd and trusted too."
6 For Sovereign power reigns not alone,
Grace is a partner of the throne:
Thy grace and justice, mighty Lord,
Shall well divide our last reward.
My spirit looks to God alone
