Jesus, my Saviour and my God

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Constancy 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: Oh, 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 honors of the Christian name.

Who shall the Lord's Elect condemn?

Appears in 133 hymnals Topics: Courage and Constancy Lyrics: 1 Who shall the Lord's Elect condemn? 'Tis God that justifies their Souls, And Mercy, like a mighty Stream, O'er all their Sins divinely rolls. 2 Who shall adjudge the Saints to Hell? 'Tis Christ that suffer'd in their Stead; And, the Salvation to fulfil Behold him rising from the Dead. 3 He lives! he lives! and sits above, For ever interceding there: Who shall divide us from his Love, Or what should tempt us to despair? 4 Shall Persecution, or Distress, Famine, or Sword, or Nakedness? He that hath lov'd us bears us through, And makes us more than Conqu'rors too. 5 Faith hath an overcoming Pow'r, It triumphs in the dying Hour: Christ is our Life, our Joy, our Hope, Nor can we sink with such a Prop. 6 Not all that Men on Earth can do, Nor Pow'rs on high, nor Pow'rs below, Shall cause his Mercy to remove, Or wean our Hearts from Christ our Love. Scripture: Romans 8:33-39

Let me but hear my Saviour say

Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Courage and Constancy Lyrics: 1 Let me but hear my Saviour say, Strength shall be equal to thy Day; Then I rejoice in deep Distress, Leaning on all-sufficient Grace. 2 I glory in Infirmity, That Christ's own Pow'r may rest on me; When I am weak, then am I strong, Grace is my Shield, and Christ my Song. 3 I can do all Things, or can bear All Suff'rings, if my Lord be there; Sweet Pleasures mingle with the Pains While his Left-Hand my Head sustains. 4 But if the Lord be once withdrawn, And we attempt the Work alone; When new Temptations spring and rise, We find how great our Weakness is. 5 So Sampson, when his Hair was lost, Met the Philistines to his Cost; Shook his vain Limbs with sad Surprize, Made feeble Fight, and lost his Eyes. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

Awake, our Souls, away our Fears

Appears in 406 hymnals Topics: Courage and Constancy Lyrics: 1 Awake our Souls, (away our Fears, Let ev'ry trembling Thought be gone) Awake, and run the heav'nly Race, And put a chearful Courage on. 2 True, 'tis a straight and thorny Road, And mortal Spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God, That feeds the Strength of ev'ry Saint. 3 O mighty God, whose matchless Pow'r Is ever new, and ever young, And firm endures, while endless Years Their everlasting Circles run. 4 From Thee, the overflowing Spring, Our Souls shall drink a fresh Supply, While such as trust their native Strength, Shall melt away, and droop, and die. 5 Swift as an Eagle cuts the Air, We'll mount aloft to thine Abode; On Wings of Love our Souls shall fly, Nor tire amidst the heav'nly Road. Scripture: Isaiah 40:28-31

When I can read my Title clear

Appears in 1,276 hymnals Topics: Courage and Constancy Lyrics: 1 When I can read my Title clear To Mansions in the Skies, I bid Farewel to ev'ry Fear, And wipe my weeping Eyes. 2 Should Earth against my Soul engage, And hellish Darts be hurl'd, Then I can smile at Satan's Rage, And face a frowning World. 3 Let Cares like a wild Deluge come, And Storms of Sorrow fall; May I but safely reach my Home, My God, my Heav'n my All. 4 There shall I bathe my weary Soul In Seas of heav'nly Rest; And not a Wave of Trouble roll Across my peaceful Breast.
