Author: John Berridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I stand at mercy’s door Lyrics: 1 I stand at mercy’s door,
O Lord, look on me now,
A beggar knocks, exceeding poor,
And none can help but Thou.
2 Through sin, born dark I was,
Nor cared for the light,
All knowledge of Thy truth and grace,
Was banished from my sight.
3 Exceeding lame beside,
A cripple from my birth,
And need a crutch, as well a guide,
To help my ankles forth.
4 A ragged soul I am,
My breast and shoulders bare,
And nothing left to hide my shame,
But fig leaves here and there.
5 With sore disease I smart,
From pain am seldom free,
It is the evil in my heart,
My father gave it me.
6 Lord, I have told my case,
Well known to Thee before,
Let Jesus show His lovely face,
And heal up every sore.
7 Mine eyes with salve anoint,
That I may see Thy light;
And strengthen every tottering joint,
That I may walk upright.
8 My naked soul array
In Thy own righteousness;
And let Thy precious blood convey
The pledge of heav’nly peace.
9 My evil, Thou dost know,
Torments my bosom much,
But let the King of Israel show,
He cures it with a touch.
10 Some manna also bring
To feast my pilgrim days,
And Thou shalt hear a beggar sing,
And shout forth Jesus’ praise. Used With Tune: TRENTHAM Text Sources: Sion's Songs (London: Vallance & Conder, 1785)

Firm And Unmoved Are They
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Firm and unmoved are they
That rest their souls on God;
Firm as the mount where David dwelt,
Or where the ark abode.
2 As mountains stood to guard
The city’s sacred ground,
So God and His almighty love
Embrace His saints around.
3 What though the Father’s rod
Drop a chastising stroke,
Yes, lest it wound their souls too deep,
Its fury shall be broke.
4 Deal gently, Lord, with those
Whose faith and pious fear,
Whose hope, and love, and every grace
Proclaim their hearts sincere.
5 Nor shall the tyrant’s rage
Too long oppress the saint;
The God of Israel will support
His children lest they faint.
6 But if our slavish fear
Will choose the road to hell,
We must expect our portion there,
Where bolder sinners dwell.

The Resignation
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 64 hymnals First Line: And wilt Thou yet be found? Lyrics: 1 And wilt Thou yet be found?
And may I still draw near?
Then listen to the plaintive sound
Of a poor sinner’s prayer.
2 Jesu, Thine aid afford,
If still the same Thou art;
To Thee I look, to Thee, my Lord,
Lift up a helpless heart.
3 Thou seest my tortured breast,
The strugglings of my will,
The foes that interrupt my rest,
The agonies I feel:
4 The daily death I prove,
Savior, to Thee is known;
’Tis worse than death, my God to love,
And not my God alone.
5 My peevish passions chide,
Who only canst control,
Canst turn the stream of nature’s tide,
And calm my troubled soul.
6 O my offended Lord,
Restore my inward peace;
I know Thou canst: Pronounce the word,
And bid the tempest cease.
7 Abate the purging fire,
And draw me to my good;
Allay the fever of desire,
By sprinkling me with blood.
8 I long to see Thy face,
Thy Spirit I implore,
The living water of Thy grace,
That I may thirst no more.
9 When shall Thy love constrain
And force me to Thy breast?
When shall my soul return again
To her eternal rest?
10 Ah! what avails my strife,
My wandering to and fro?
Thou hast the words of endless life,
Ah! whither should I go?
11 Thy condescending grace
To me did freely move;
It calls me still to seek Thy face,
And stoops to ask my love.
12 Lord, at Thy feet I fall,
I groan to be set free,
I fain would now obey the call,
And give up all for Thee.
13 To rescue me from woe,
Thou didst with all things part,
Didst lead a suffering life below,
To gain my worthless heart:
14 My worthless heart to again,
The God of all that breathe
Was found in fashion as a man,
And died a cursèd death.
15 And can I yet delay
My little all to give?
To tear my soul from earth away
For Jesus to receive?
16 Nay, but I yield, I yield!
I can hold out no more;
I sink, by dying love compelled,
And own Thee Conqueror.
17 Though late, I all forsake;
My friends, my life resign;
Gracious Redeemer, take, O take,
And seal me ever Thine!
18 Come, and possess me whole,
Nor hence again remove;
Settle and fix my wavering soul
With all Thy weight of love.
19 My one desire be this,
Thy only love to know,
To seek and taste no other bliss,
No other good below.
20 My life, my portion Thou,
Thou all-sufficient art,
My hope, my heavenly treasure, now
Enter, and keep my heart.
21 Rather than let it burn
For earth, O quench its heat;
Then, when it would to earth return,
O let it cease to beat.
22 Snatch me from ill to come,
When I from Thee would fly,
O take my wandering spirit home,
And grant me then to die! Used With Tune: BOYLSTON Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1740

Behold, night’s shadows fade,

So safety shall be nigh;
Rend, spirit blest, the heavy chains
Of death, in victory!
