Religious Toleration ought to be defended by Our Rulers

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Special Occasions Public and National Blessings and Afflictions First Line: Absurd and vain attempt! to bind Lyrics: 1 Absurd and vain attempt! to bind With iron chains the free-born mind, To force conviction, and reclaim The wand'ring by destructive flame. 2 Bold arrogance! to snatch from heaven Dominion not to mortals given; O'er conscience to usurp the throne, Accountable to God alone. 3 Jesus! thy gentle law of love Does no such cruelties approve; Mild as thy self, thy doctrine wields No arms but what persuasion yields. 4 By proofs divine, and reason strong, It draws the willing soul along; And conquests to thy church acquires By eloquence which heaven inspires. 5 O happy, who are thus compell'd To the rich feast, by Jesus held! May we this blessing know, and prize The light which liberty supplies.

And are we yet alive

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 226 hymnals Topics: Special Occasions New Year Lyrics: 1 And are we yet alive, And see each other’s face? Glory and praise to Jesus give For his redeeming grace! Preserved by power divine To full salvation here, Again in Jesus’ praise we join, And in his sight appear. 2 What troubles we have seen, What conflicts we have passed, Fightings without and fears within, Since we assembled last! But out of all the Lord Has brought us by his love; And still he doth his help afford, And hides our life above. 3 Then let us make our boast Of his redeeming power, Which saves us to the uttermost, Till we shall sin no more. Let us take up the cross, Till we the crown obtain, And gladly reckon all things loss, So we may Jesus gain.

A Father’s hand will never cause His child a needless care. 4 My times are in thy hand, Jesus, the crucified; The hand my cruel sins had pierced Is now my guard and guide. 5 My times are in thy hand, I’ll always trust in thee; And after death at thy right hand I shall for ever be.
