God is love
Isaac was ransom'd when he lay
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #331 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Children scriptural examples of; Scriptural examples for the young Lyrics:
Isaac was ransom'd when he lay
Upon the altar bound;
Moses, an infant cast away,
Pharaoh's own daughter found.
Joseph, by his false brethren sold,
God raised above them all;
To Hannah's child, the Lord foretold,
How Eli's house must fall.
David the bear and lion slew
And o'er Gath's champion trod;
Josiah, from his boyhood, knew
His father David's God.
To good Naomi gentle Ruth
Clave with a daughter's soul;
A little maid reveal'd the truth,
Whence Naaman was made whole.
Children are thus Jehovah's care;
Thus youth may seek His face;
Since His own Son He did not spare,
With Him He gives all grace:
Grace, like the young of whom we read,
Early in Him to trust;
A Friend in need, a Friend indeed,
As merciful as just.
353
Lord, while like them our course we read,
Be Thou to us that Friend,
And in the footsteps of Thy Son,
Conduct us to the end.

'Tis by the faith of joys to come
With wandering Jacob, let us say
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #69 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prayer scriptural examples of Lyrics:
With wandering Jacob, let us say--
"If God will keep me by the way,
Guide and defend me, clothe and feed,
Then God shall be my God indeed."
With Him who led the ransom'd flock
Through the Red Sea to Sinai's rock,
Be this our one supreme request,
Thy presence with us go or rest."
Join we God's people from our youth,
Quit the vain world like humble Ruth;
With them resolved our lot to try,
Rejoice or suffer, live or die.
Like Joshua through this war of life,
Victor in many a deadly strife,
May each this solemn pledge record,
"I and my house will serve the Lord."
74
When prayers and vows to heaven we make,
The words of Solomon we'll take,
Freely for every blessing call,
Yet ask forgiveness with them all.
And now, O Lord our God! to Thee,
This sum of our petition be,
The language of Thy blessed Son,
"Father! Thy will, not mine, be done."

With wandering Jacob, let us say
Behold the wretch whose lust and wine
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #205 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit From the examples of sinners received Lyrics: 1 Behold the wretch whose lust and wine
Had wasted his estate,
He begs a share among the swine,
To taste the husks they eat!
2 "I die with hunger here" (he cries,)
"I starve in foreign lands,
My father's house has large supplies,
And bounteous are his hands.
3 "I'll go, and with a mournful tongue,
Fall down before his face,
Father, I've done thy justice wrong,
Nor can deserve thy grace."
4 He said, and hasten'd to his home,
To seek his father's love;
The father saw the rebel come,
And all his bowels move.
5 He ran, and fell upon his neck,
Embrac'd and kiss'd his son;
The rebel's heart with sorrow brake
For follies he had done.
6 "Take off his clothes of shame and sin,"
(The father gives command,)
Dress him in garments white and clean,
With rings adorn his hand.
7 "A day of feasting I ordain,
Let mirth and joy abound;
My son was dead, and lives again,
Was lost, and now is found." Scripture: Luke 15:13
Behold the wretch whose lust and wine
As on the cross the Saviour hung
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #206 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit From the examples of sinners received Lyrics: 1 As on the cross the Saviour hung,
And wept, and bled, and died,
He pour'd salvation on a wretch
That languished at his side.
2 His crimes with inward grief and shame,
The penitent confess'd;
Then turn'd his dying eyes to Christ,
And thus his prayer address'd;
3 "Jesus, thou Son and heir of heaven!
Thou spotless Lamb of God!
I see thee bath'd in sweat and tears,
And weltering in thy blood.
4 "Yet quickly, from these scenes of wo
In triumph thou shalt rise,
Burst through the gloomy shades of death,
And shine above the skies.
5 "Amid the glories of that world,
Dear Saviour, think on me,
And in the vict'ries of thy death,
Let me a sharer be."
6 His prayer the dying Jesus hears,
And instantly replies,
"To-day thy parting soul shall be
With me in Paradise." Scripture: Luke 23:42
As on the cross the Saviour hung
When the poor leper's case I read
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #207 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit From the examples of sinners received Lyrics: 1 When the poor leper's case I read,
My own describ'd I feel;
Sin is a leprosy indeed,
Which none but CHRIST can heal.
2 What anguish did my soul endure,
Till hope and patience ceas'd!
The more I strove myself to cure,
The more the plague increas'd.
3 While thus I lay distress'd, I saw
The Saviour passing by;
To him, though fill'd with shame and awe,
I rais'd my mournful cry.
4 Lord, thou canst heal me, if thou wilt,
Oh, pity to me shew;
Oh, cleanse my leprous soul from guilt;
My filthy heart renew.
5 He heard, and with a gracious look,
Pronounc'd the healing word;
"I will--be clean," and while he spoke,
I felt my health restor'd.
6 Come, sinners, seize the present hour,
The Saviour's grace to prove;
He can relieve, for he is pow'r--
He will, for he is love. Scripture: Matthew 8:2
When the poor leper's case I read
Like Bartimeus, we are blind
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #208 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit From the examples of sinners received Lyrics: 1 Like Bartimeus, we are blind,
Inwrapt in nature's night;
The grossest darkness veils ourmind,
For sin prevents the sight.
2 But lo! the Lord from heaven is come
To open sinners' eyes;
To make his wondrous mercy known,
And heal their maladies.
3 Come then, ye blind, and beg, and pray,
And in the Lord believe;
For who can tell? perhaps to-day
You may your sight receive.
4 Jesus of Naz'reth passeth by--
He is the sinner's friend;
Call on his name, and wait and cry,
He will your suit attend.
5 Should sinners say;, "Hold ye your peace,
"Nor dare to make so free,"
Then cry the more, and never cease,
"Have mercy, Lord, on me."
6 Your worthless garments leave behind;
Go to the Lord of light;
Trust in his name, however blind,
And he will give you sight. Scripture: Mark 10:46
Like Bartimeus, we are blind
