Oh, that I had a Bosom Friend

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCV (1791) Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 Oh, that I had a Bosom Friend, To tell my Secrets to! On whose Advice I might depend, In ev'ry Thing I do. 2 How do I wander up and down, And no one Pities me; I seem a Stranger quite unknown, A Son of Misery. 3 None lends an Ear to my Complaint, Nor minds my Cries and Tears; None comes to help me, though I faint, Nor my vast Burthen bears. 4 While others live in Mirth and Ease And feel no Want or Woe; Through this dark, howling Wilderness, I full of Sorrow go. 5 Oh! faithless Soul to Reason thus, And Murmur without End; Did Christ expire upon the Cross? And is not he thy Friend? 6 Why dost thou envy carnal Men! And think their State so blest? How great Salvation hast thou seen? And Jesus is thy Rest. 7 What can this lower World afford, Compar'd with Gospel Grace, Thy Happiness is in the Lord, And thou shalt see his Face. 8 Can present Grief be counted great, Compar'd with future Woes? Will transient Pleasures seem so sweet Compar'd with endless Joys? 9 How soon will God withdraw the Scene, And burn the World he made! Then Woe to carnal careless Men; My Soul lift up thy Head. 10 The Saviour is thy real Friend, Constant, and true. and good: He will be with thee to the End, And bring thee safe to God. 11 Why O my Soul, art thou so sad? When will thy Sighs be o'er? Rejoice in Jesus, and be glad, Rejoice for Evermore. Languages: English

Can such poor feeble worms as we

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #XXXIX (1791) Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 Can such poor feeble Worms as we Praise and adore our Saviour's Name? Or bring a Tribute Lord to thee? Or half thy Pow'r and Love proclaim? 2 We stand amaz'd, when we behold Thy Glory and thy Beauty Lord! Thy Love and Grace can ne'er be told, Which thou to Mortals dost afford. 3 Yet Lord, we would attempt thy Praise, We would exalt thy Holy Name; Lord, we would walk in thy sweet Ways; And sing, and tell thy wond'rous Fame. 4 Fain would our Souls mount up to thee, And Feast forever on thy Love; And Praise the sacred Deity, As Angels do that dwell above.

Holy Lamb, who thee receive

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CIII (1791) Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 Holy Lamb, who thee receive, Who in thee begin to live, Day and Night they cry to thee, As thou art, so let us be! 2 Jesus see my panting Breast: See I pant in thee to rest! Gladly would I now be clean: Cleanse me now from ev'ry Sin. 3 Fix, Oh! fix my wav'ring Mind; To thy Cross my Spirit bind; Earthly Passions far remove: Swallow up our Souls in Love. 4 Dust and Ashes though we be, Full of Guilt and Misery, Thine we are, thou Son of God: Take the Purchase of thy Blood! 5 Who in Heart on thee believes, He th' Atonement now receives: He with Joy beholds thy Face, Triumphs in thy pard'ning Grace. 6 See ye Sinners, see the Flame Rising from the slaughter'd Lamb; Marks the New, the living Way, Leading to eternal Day! 7 Jesu, when this Light we see, All our Soul's athirst for thee: When thy quick'ning Pow'r we prove, All our Heart dissoves in Love. 8 Boundless Wisdom, Pow'r divine, Love unspeakable are thine! Praise by all to thee be giv'n Sons of Earth, and Hosts of Heav'n. Languages: English

Jesus, the only Thought of thee

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXXXVIII (1791) Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the only Thought of thee With Sweetness fills my Breast; But sweeter far it is to see, And in thy Beauty feast. 2 No Sound, no Harmony so gay, Can Art of Music frame; No Thoughts can reach, no Words can say The Sweets of thy blest Name. 3 Jesus our Hope, when we repent, Sweet Source of all our Grace; Sole Comfort in our Banishment, O! what, when Face to Face! 4 Jesus! that Name inspires my Mind With Springs of Life and Light; More then I ask in thee I find, And lavish in Delight. 5 No Art, no eloquence of Man, Can tell the joys of Love; Only Saints can understand What they in Jesus prove. 6 Thee then I'll seek retir'd apart, From world and Business free; When these shall knock, I'll shut my Heart, And keep it all for thee. 7 Before the Morning Light I'll come, With Magdalene to find In Sighs and Tears, my Jesu's tomb, And there refresh my Mind. 8 My Tears upon his Grave shall flow, My Sighs the Garden fill; Then at his Feet my self I'll throw, And there I'll seek his Will. 9 Jesus, in thy bless'd Steps I'll tread, And walk in all thy Ways; I'll never cease to weep and plead, Till I'm restor'd to Grace. 10 O King of Love, thy blessed Fire Does such sweet Flames exite; That first it raises our Desire, Then fills us with Delight. 11 Thy lovely Presence shines so clear Thro' every Sense and Way, That Souls which once have seen thee near, See all Things else decay. 12 Come then dear Lord, possess my Heart, Chase thence the Shades of Night; Come pierce it with thy flaming Dart, And ever shining Light. 13 Then I'll for ever Jesus sing, And with the Saints rejoice; And both my Heart and Tongue shall bring Their Tribute to my dearest King, In never-ending Joys.
