With earnest longings of the mind

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.XLII.I (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Desertion and Hope Lyrics: 1 With earnest longings of the mind, My God, to thee I look: So pants the hunted hart to find, And taste the cooling brook. 2 When shall I see thy courts of grace, And meet my God again? So long an absence from thy face My heart endures with pain. 3 Temptations vex my weary soul, And tears are my repast; The foe insults without control, "And where’s your God at last?" 4 ’Tis with a mournful pleasure now I think on ancient days; Then to thy house did numbers go, And all our work was praise. 5 But why, my soul, sunk down so far, Beneath this heavy load? My spirit, why indulge despair, And sin against my God? 6 Hope in the Lord whose mighty hand Can all thy woes remove; For I shall yet before him stand, And sing restoring love. Scripture: Psalm 42:1-6 Languages: English

Now let the Lord my Saviour smile

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.L (1766) Topics: Christ His Love under Desertion Lyrics: 1 Now let the Lord my Saviour smile, And shew my Name upon his Heart; I would forget my Pains a while, And in the Pleasure lose the Smart. 2 But, oh! it swells my Sorrows high To see my blessed Jesus frown; My Spirits sink, my Comforts die, And all the Springs of Love are down. 3 Yet why, my Soul, why these Complaints? Still while he frowns his Bowels move; Still on his Heart he bears his Saints, And feels their Sorrows and his Love. 4 My Name is printed on his Breast; His Book of Life contains my Name; I'd rather have it there imprest, Than in the bright Records of Fame. 5 When the last Fire burns all Things here, Those Letters shall securely stand, And in the Lamb's fair Book appear, Writ by th' Eternal Father's Hand. 6 Now shall my Minutes smoothly run, Whilst here I wait my Father's Will; My rising and my setting Sun Roll gently up and down the Hill.

Dear Lord, behold our sore Distress

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CLXIII (1766) Topics: Complaint of Desertion and Temptation Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord! behold our sore Distress; Our Sins attempt to reign; Stretch out thine Arm of conqu'ring Grace, And let thy Foes be slain. [2 The Lion with his dreadful Roar Affrights thy feeble Sheep: Reveal the Glory of thy Pow'r, And chain him to the Deep. 3 Must we indulge a long Despair? Shall our Petitions die? Our Mournings never reach thine Ear, Nor Tears affect thine Eye?] 4 If thou despise a mortal Groan, Yet hear a Saviour's Blood; An Advocate so near the Throne Pleads and prevails with God. 5 He brought the Spirit's pow'rful Sword To slay our deadly Foes; Our Sins shall die beneath thy Word, And Hell in vain oppose. 6 How boundless is our Father's Grace, In Height, and Depth, and Length! He makes his Son our Righteousness, His Spirit is our Strength. Languages: English

Amidst thy Wrath remember Love

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P38 (1766) Topics: Desertion and Distress of Soul Lyrics: 1 Amidst thy Wrath remember Love, Restore thy Servant Lord, Nor let a Father's Chast'ning prove Like an Avenger's Sword. 2 Thine Arrows stick within my Heart, My Flesh is sorely prest; Between the Sorrow and the Smart, My Spirit finds no Rest. 3 My Sins a heavy Load appear, And o'er my Head are gone; Too heavy they for me to bear, Too hard for me t' attone. 4 My Thoughts are like a troubled Sea, My Head still bending down; And I go mourning all the Day, Beneath my Father's Frown. 5 Lord, I am weak and broken sore, None of my Pow'rs are whole; The inward Anguish makes me roar, The Anguish of my Soul. 6 All my Desire to Thee is known, Thine Eye counts ev'ry Tear, And ev'ry Sigh and ev'ry Groan, Is notic'd by thine Ear. 7 Thou art my GOD, my only Hope; My GOD will hear my Cry; My GOD will bear my Spirit up, When Satan bids me die. 8 [My Foot is ever apt to slide, My Foes rejoice to see't; They raise their Pleasure and their Pride, When they supplant my Feet. 9 But I'll confess my Guilt to Thee, And grieve for all my Sin; I'll mourn how weak my Graces be, And beg Support divine. 10 My GOD, forgive my Follies past, And be for ever nigh; O Lord of my Salvation haste, Before thy Servant die. Scripture: Psalm 38 Languages: English
