In vain would boasting reason find

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Church Book #97 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Quinquagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 In vain would boating reason find The path to happiness and God; Her weak directions leave the mind Bewildered in a doubtful road. 2 Jesus, Thy words alone impart Eternal life; on these I live; Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart, Than all the powers of nature give. 3 Here let my constant feet abide; Thou art the true, the living Way: Let Thy good Spirit be my Guide To the bright realms of endless day. 4 The various forms that men devise To shake my faith with treacherous art, I scorn as vanity and lies, And bind Thy Gospel to my heart.

Lord, we confess our numerous faults

Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #99 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Quinquagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 Lord, we confess our numerous faults, How great our guilt has been: Foolish and vain were all our thoughts, And all our lives were sin. 2 But, O my soul, for ever praise, For ever love His Name, Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways Of folly, sin, and shame. 3 'Tis not by works of righteousness Which our own hands have done; But we are saved by sovereign grace Abounding through His Son. 4 'Tis from the mercy of our God That all our hopes begin; 'Tis by the Water and the Blood Our souls are saved from sin. 5 'Tis through the purchase of His Death Who hung upon the Tree, The Spirit is sent down to breathe On such dry bones as we. 6 Raised from the dead we live anew; And justified by grace, We shall appear in glory too, And see our Father's face.

I lay my sins on Jesus

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Church Book #368 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Topics: Quinquagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 I lay my sins on Jesus, The spotless Lamb of God; He bears them all, and frees us From the accurséd load. I bring my guilt to Jesus, To wash my crimson stains White, in His Blood most precious, Till not a spot remains. 2 I lay my wants on Jesus; All fullness dwells in Him; He heals all my diseases, He doth my soul redeem. I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy Child; I long to be with Jesus, Amid the heavenly throng, To sing with saints His praises, To learn the angels' song.

My God, I love Thee; not because

Author: Francis Xavier, d. 1552; Edward Caswall Hymnal: Church Book #410 (1890) Topics: Quinquagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby; Nor because they, who love Thee not, Must burn eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus! Thou didst me Upon the Cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace; 3 And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony; E'en death itself--and all for one Who was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ! Should I not love Thee well? Not for the sake of winning heaven, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught; Not seeking a reward; But, as Thyself hast lovéd me, O ever loving Lord! 6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing; Solely because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.

I heard the voice of Jesus say

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Church Book #106 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Quinquagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say, Come unto me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon my breast. I came to Jesus as I was, Weary, and worn, and sad; I found in Him a resting-place, And He has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, Behold, I freely give The living water; thirsty one, Stoop down, and drink, and live. I came to Jesus and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, I am this dark world’s Light; Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright. I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him, my Star, my Sun; And in that Light of life I’ll walk, Till traveling days are done. Languages: English Tune Title: VOX DILECTI

Father, how wide Thy glory shines!

Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #101 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Quinquagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide Thy glory shines! How high thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousands through the skies. 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power, Their motions speak Thy skill; And on the wings of every hour We read Thy patience still. 3 But when we view Thy grand design To save rebellious worms, Where justice and compassion join In their divinest forms; 4 Our thoughts are lost in reverent awe: We love and we adore; Thy first archangel never saw So much of God before. 5 Then sinners break the Father's laws, The dying Son atones; Oh, the dear mysteries of His Cross! The triumph of His groans! Languages: English Tune Title: ABRIDGE

All that I was, my sin, my guilt

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Church Book #105 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Quinquagesima Sunday Lyrics: 1 All that I was, my sin, my guilt, My death, was all my own; All that I am, I owe to Thee, My gracious God, alone. 2 The evil of my former state Was mine, and only mine; The good in which I now rejoice Is Thine, and only Thine. 3 The darkness of my former state, The bondage, all was mine; The light of life in which I walk, The liberty, is Thine. 4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin, It taught me to believe; Then in believing, peace I found, And now I live, I live. 5 All that I am, even here on earth, All that I hope to be, When Jesus comes and glory dawns, I owe it, Lord, to Thee.
