Jesus demands this heart of mine

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 60 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus demands this heart of mine, Demands my love, my joy, my care; But ah! how dead to things divine, How cold my best affections are! 2 'Tis sin, alas! with dreadful power, Divides my Saviour from my sight; O for one happy, cloudless hour Of sacred freedom, sweet delight! 3 Come, gracious Lord! thy love can raise My captive powers from sin and death, And fill my heart and life with praise, And tune my last expiring breath. 4 Take, then, O Lord, this heart of mine, My grateful love, my joy, my care; No longer dead to things divine, With thee my best affections are.

The Blessed Life

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: How blest the man who fears the Lord Lyrics: 1 How blest the man who fears the Lord And greatly loves God's holy will; His children share his great reward, And blessings all their days shall fill. 2 Abounding wealth shall bless his home, His righteousness shall still endure; To him shall light arise in gloom, For he is merciful and pure. 3 The man whose hand the weak befriends In judgment shall his cause maintain; A peace unmoved his life attends, And long his mem'ry shall remain. 4 Of evil tidings not afraid, His trust is in the Lord alone; His heart is steadfast, undismayed, For he shall see his foes o'erthrown. 5 With kind remembrance of the poor, For their distress his gifts provide; His righteousness shall thus endure, His name in honor shall abide. 6 To shame the wicked shall be brought, While righteous men shall favor gain; Unrighteous hopes shall come to naught, Its due reward shall sin obtain.

When, gracious Lord, when shall it be

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 114 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, gracious Lord, when shall it be That I shall find my all in thee? The fullness of thy promise prove, The seal of thine eternal love? 2 Ah! wherefore did I ever doubt? Thou wilt in no wise cast me out, A helpless soul that comes to thee With only sin and misery. 3 Lord, I am blind; be thou my sight: Lord, I am weak; be thou my might: A helper of the helpless be, And let me find my all in thee.
