Psalm 41

Author: Mrs. A. L. Barbauld Appears in 158 hymnals First Line: Blest is the man whose softening heart Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man whose softening heart Feels all another's pain; To whom the supplicating eye Was never raised in vain:-- 2 Whose breast expands with generous warmth A stranger's woes to feel; And bleeds in pity o'er the wound He wants the power to heal. 3 He spreads his kind supporting arms To every child of grief; His secret bounty largely flows, And brings unasked relief. 4 To gentle offices of love His feet are never slow: He views, through mercy's melting eye, A brother in a foe. 5 Peace from the bosom of his God, The Saviour's grace shall give; And, when he kneels before the throne, His trembling soul shall live.

Minute fidelity

Author: Anon. Appears in 115 hymnals First Line: Scorn not the slightest word or deed Lyrics: 1 Scorn not the slightest word or deed, Nor deem it void of power; There's fruit in each wind-wafted see, That waits its natal hour. 2 A whispered word may touch the heart. And call it back to life; A look of love bid sin depart, And still unholy strife. 3 No act falls fruitless; none can tell How vast its power may be, Nor what results infolded dwell Within it silently. 4 Work on, despair not, bring thy mite, Nor care how small it be; God is with all that serves the right, The holy, true, and free.

Sin Has a Thousand Treacherous Arts

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sin has a thousand treacherous arts To practice on the mind; With flattering looks she tempts our hearts, But leaves a sting behind. 2. With names of virtue she deceives The agèd 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 pretense; But cheats the soul of heav’nly 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. Used With Tune: REMSEN Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707, number 150

There is a dear and hallowed spot

Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a dear and hallowed spot Oft present to my eye; By saints it ne'er can be forgot; That place is Calvary. 2 Oh, what a scene was there displayed Of love and agony, When our Redeemer bowed His head And died on Calvary! 3 When fainting under guilt's dread load, Unto the cross I'll fly; And trust the merit of that blood Which flowed at Calvary. 4 Whene'er I feel temptation's power, On Jesus I'll rely; And, in the sharp, conflicting hour, Repair to Calvary. 5 When seated at the feast of love, Then will I fix mine eye On Him who intercedes above, Who bled on Calvary. 6 When the dark scene of death, the last Momentous hour, draws nigh, Then, with my dying eyes, I'll cast A look on Calvary. Amen. Topics: Calvary; Cross of Christ; Glorying in the Cross; Lent Used With Tune: REMSEN
