Lord Jesus, think on me

And make me pure within.

With many a care oppressed,
Let me Thy loving servant be,
And taste Thy promised rest.
3 Lord Jesus, think on me
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point Thou the heavenly way.

O perfect life of love
God's Holy Law Transgressed
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals First Line: God’s holy law transgressed Lyrics: 1 God’s holy law transgressed,
Speaks nothing but despair;
Burdened with guilt, with grief oppressed,
We find no comfort there.
2 Not all our groans and tears,
Nor works which we have done,
Nor vows, nor promises, nor prayers,
Can e’er for sin atone.
3 Relief alone is found
In Jesus’ precious blood;
’Tis this that heals the mortal wound,
And reconciles to God.
4 High lifted on the cross,
The spotless Victim dies;
This is salvation’s only source,
And hence our hopes arise. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Adapted to Public Worship or Family Devotion, by Robert Hall, 1817
God's Holy Law Transgressed
Shall Wisdom Cry Aloud?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals First Line: Shall Wisdom cry aloud Lyrics: 1. Shall Wisdom cry aloud,
And not her speech be heard?
The voice of God’s eternal Word,
Deserves it no regard?
2. “I was His chief delight,
His everlasting Son,
Before the first of all His works,
Creation, was begun.
3. “Before the flying clouds,
Before the solid land,
Before the fields, before the floods,
I dwelt at His right hand.
4. “When He adorned the skies,
And built them, I was there,
To order where the sun should rise,
And marshal every star.
5. “When He poured out the sea,
And spread the flowing deep,
I gave the flood a firm decree
In its own bounds to keep.
6. “Upon the empty air
The earth was balanced well:
With joy I saw the mansion where
The sons of men should dwell.
7. “My busy thoughts at first
On their salvation ran,
Ere sin was born, or Adam’s dust
Was fashioned to a man.
8. Then come, receive My grace,
Ye children, and be wise;
Happy the man that keeps My ways;
The man that shuns them dies. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707, Book I, number 92
Shall Wisdom Cry Aloud?
O Lord, to Thee I Cry
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord, to Thee I cry;
Thou art my rock and trust;
O be not silent, lest I die
And slumber in the dust.
2. O hear me when in prayer
Thy favor I entreat;
Hear, while I lift imploring hands
Before Thy mercy seat.
3. O draw me not away
With those of evil will;
With them who speak of peace indeed,
But still are plotting ill.
4. Requite them for their wrong,
Their evil deeds, O Lord;
O give them then their just desert,
And to their deeds reward.
5. Thy deeds they disregard,
Thy handiwork despise;
And therefore Thou wilt cast them down
And never let them rise.
6. But blessèd be the Lord
Who hearkens when I cry;
The Lord, my strength, my help, my shield,
On Him will I rely.
7. His help makes glad my heart,
And songs of praise I sing;
Jehovah is His people’s strength,
The Stronghold of their king.
8. Bless Thine inheritance,
Our Savior be, I pray;
Supply Thou all Thy people’s need,
And be their constant stay. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 75
O Lord, to Thee I Cry
And Am I Born To Die?
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 205 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?
2 A land of deepest shade,
Unpierced by human thought,
The dreary regions of the dead,
Where all things are forgot?
3 Soon as from earth I go,
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my portion be:
4 Waked by the trumpet’s sound,
I from my grave shall rise,
And see the Judge, with glory crowned,
And see the flaming skies!
5 How shall I leave my tomb?
With triumph or regret?
A fearful or a joyful doom,
A curse or blessing meet?
6 Will angel bands convey
Their brother to the bar?
Or devils drag my soul away,
To meet its sentence there?
7 Who can resolve the doubt
That tears my anxious breast?
Shall I be with the damned cast out,
Or numbered with the blest?
8 I must from God be driven,
Or with my Savior dwell;
Must come at His command to Heaven,
Or else—depart to hell! Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: Hymns for Children, 1763
And Am I Born To Die?
He Did Not Die In Vain
Author: Anna Hoppe Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 He did not die in vain,
My Savior and my Lord,
The Lamb of God, for sinners slain,
The blest incarnate Word.
2 Each drop of blood He spilt
Can healing balm bestow,
And sinners lose all stains of guilt
In that most holy flow.
3 What tho' the foe still rave?
He crushed the serpent's head.
We fear nor death, nor hell, nor grave
Since He rose from the dead.
4 In yonder mansions fair,
From sin and sorrow free,
We shall His heav'nly kingdom share
And all His glory see.
5 He did not die in vain;
While endless ages roll,
The fruit of all His grief and pain
Shall satisfy His soul. Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Used With Tune: ABER
He Did Not Die In Vain
Let Sinners Take Their Course
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 164 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let sinners take their course,
And choose the road to death;
But in the worship of my God
I’ll spend my daily breath.
2. My thoughts address His throne
When morning brings the light;
I’ll seek His blessing every noon,
And pay my vows at night.
3. Thou wilt regard my cries,
O my eternal God,
While sinners perish in surprise
Beneath Thine angry rod.
4. Because they dwell at ease,
And no sad changes feel,
They neither fear nor trust Thy name,
Nor learn to do Thy will.
5. But I with all my cares
Will lean upon the Lord:
I’ll cast my burdens on His arm,
And rest upon His Word.
6. His arm shall well sustain
The children of His love;
The ground on which their safety stands,
No earthly power can move. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
Let Sinners Take Their Course
And Will The God of Grace
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 59 hymnals Lyrics: 1. And will the God of grace
Perpetual silence keep?
The God of justice hold His peace,
And let His vengeance sleep?
2. Behold, what cursèd snares
The men of mischief spread!
The men that hate thy saints and Thee
Lift up their threatening head.
3. Against Thy hidden ones
Their counsels they employ
And malice, with her watchful eye,
Pursues them to destroy.
4. The noble and the base
Into Thy pastures leap;
The lion and the stupid ass
Conspire to vex Thy sheep.
5. Come, let us join, they cry,
To root them from the ground,
Till not the name of saints remain,
Nor memory shall be found.
6. Awake, almighty God,
And call Thy wrath to mind;
Give them like forests to the fire,
Or stubble to the wind.
7. Convince their madness, Lord,
And make them seek Thy name;
Or else their stubborn rage confound,
That they may die in shame.
8. Then shall the nations know
That glorious, dreadful word,
Jehovah is Thy name alone,
And Thou the sovereign Lord. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
And Will The God of Grace
