Blest are the pure in heart
Author: J. Keble, 1792-1866; E. Osler, 1798-1863 Appears in 408 hymnals Topics: Temptation Lyrics: 1 Blest are the pure in heart,
For they shall see our God;
The secret of the Lord is theirs,
Their soul is His abode.
2 The Lord, who left the heavens
His life and peace to bring,
Who dwelt in lowliness with men,
Their Pattern and their King;
3 He to the lowly soul
Doth still Himself impart,
And for His temple and His throne
Selects the pure in heart.
4 Lord, we Thy presence seek;
May ours this blessing be;
O give the pure and lowly heart,
A temple meet for Thee. Used With Tune: FRANCONIA

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John Ernest Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 649 hymnals Topics: Temptation Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
be thou forever near me,
my Master and my friend;
I shall not fear the battle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.
2 O let me feel thee near me!
The world is ever near:
I see the sights that dazzle;
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw thou nearer
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear thee speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
thou guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee
that where thou art in glory
there shall thy servant be.
And, Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my Master and my friend. Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:10 Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY
O Jesus, I Have Promised
O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; James W. Alexander, 1804-1859 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 749 hymnals Topics: Temptation Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded,
With grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns, Thy only crown,
How art Thou pale with anguish,
With sore abuse and scorn!
How does that visage languish
Which once was bright as morn!
2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
'Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor,
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.
3 What language shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest friend;
For this Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
O make me Thine forever;
And, should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never,
Outlive my love to Thee.
Amen. Scripture: Mark 15:17 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: Latin, 12th C.

Like as We Are
Author: Mattie M. Boteler Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Temptation First Line: Think it not strange when o'er your soul Refrain First Line: O seek his face in hour of need Lyrics: 1 Think it not strange when o’er your soul
Temptation’s dark billows roll;
The One who stood forever true,
Was tempted just like you.

O seek His face in hour of need,
He’ll lead you all life’s journey through;
He knoweth how to give you grace,
For Jesus was tempted like you.
2 This be your comfort, tempted one,
The way your Master has known;
He passed this dark deep valley thro’,
Forsaken, just like you. [Refrain]
3 Thor’ all the strife this was His sword,
‘Tis written “thus by the Lord;”
And when the fiends of Satan strove
The angels came with love. [Refrain]
4 Thus vanquished him who seeks today,
To tempt you from the way;
But He your courage will renew,
Was tempted just like you. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Think it not strange when o'er your soul]

Tempted—but flying to Christ the Refuge
Appears in 3,382 hymnals Topics: Temptation First Line: Jesus lover of my soul Lyrics: 1 Jesus lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high!
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
'Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last.
2 Other refuge I have none,
Hangs my helpless soul on thee;
Leave, ah! leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me:
All my trust on thee is stay'd,
All mine help from thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
All in all in thee I find;
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind:
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness,
Vile and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to pardon all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound;
Make and keep me pure within;
Thou of life the fountain art,
Freely let me take of thee:
Spring thou up within mine heart,
Rise to all eternity.
Tempted—but flying to Christ the Refuge

Great Rock of my secure Abode:
Who is a GOD beside the Lord?
Or where's a Refuge like our GOD?
2 'Tis he that girds me with his Might,
Gives me his holy Sword to wield;
And while with Sin and Hell I fight,
Spreads his Salvation for my Shield.
3 He lives (and blessed be my Rock)
The GOD of my salvation lives:
The dark Designs of Hell are broke;
Sweet is the Peace my Father gives.
4 Before the Scoffers of the Age
I will exalt my Father's Name,
Nor tremble at their mighty Rage,
But meet Reproach, and bear the Shame.

Thy Grace for ever shall extend;
Thy Love to Saints in Christ their Head
Knows not a Limit, nor an End. Scripture: Psalm 18:30-31

Sin has a thousand treacherous arts
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Topics: Temptation Lyrics: 1 Sin has a thousand treacherous arts
To practise on the mind;
With flatt'ring looks she tempts our hearts,
But leaves a sting behind.
2 With names of virtue she deceives
The aged and the young;
And while the heedless wretch believes,
She makes his fetters strong.
3 She pleads for all the joys she brings,
And gives a fair pretence;
But cheats the soul of heavenly things,
And chains it down to sense.
4 So on a tree divinely fair
Grew the forbidden food;
Our mother took the poison there,
And tainted all her blood.
Sin has a thousand treacherous arts
