Peter's Admonition to Simon Magus, turned into Prayer

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXVIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Graces of the Spirit Repentance First Line: Searcher of hearts, before thy face Lyrics: 1 Searcher of hearts, before thy face I all my soul display; And conscious of its innate arts, Intreat thy strict survey. 2 If lurking in its inmost folds, I any sin conceal, O let a ray of light divine The secret guile reveal. 3 If tinctur'd with that odious gall Unknowing I remain, Let grace, like a pure silver stream, Wash out th' accused stain. 4 If in these fatal fetters bound A wretched slave I lie, Smite off my chains, and wake my soul To light and liberty. 4 To humble penitence and prayer Be gentle pity given; Speak ample pardon to my heart, And seal its claim to heaven. Scripture: Acts 8:21-24 Languages: English

I will trust and not be afraid

Author: Newton Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXC (1792) Topics: Graces of the Spirit Trust First Line: Begone, unbelief Lyrics: 1 Begone unbelief, My savior is near, And for my relief Will surely appear: By pray'r let me wrestle, And he will perform, With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. 2 Though dark be my way, Since he is my guide, 'Tis mine to obey, 'Tis his to provide; Though cisterns be broken, And creatures all fail, The word he has spoken Shall surely prevail. 3 His love in time past, Forbids me to think He'll leave me at last In trouble to sink; Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review, confirms his good pleasure To help me quite through. 4 Determin'd to save, He watch'd o'er my path When Satan's blind slave, I sported with death; And can he have taught me To trust in his name, And thus far have brought me To put me to shame? 5 Why should I complain Of want or distress Temptation or pain? He told me no less; The heirs of salvation, I knew from his word, Through much tribulation, Must follow their Lord. 6 How bitter that cup, No heart can conceive, Which he drunk quite up, That sinners might live! His way was much rougher, And darker than mine; Did Jesus thus suffer, And shall I repine? 7 Since all that I meet Shall work for my good, The bitter is sweet, The med'cine is food; Though painful at present, 'Twill cease before long, And then, O how pleasant, The conqueror's song!

Francis Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLIII (1792) Topics: Graces of the Spirit Love to Christ First Line: My gracious Redeemer I'll love Lyrics: 1 My gracious redeemer I'll love, His praises aloud I'll proclaim, And join with the armies above, To shout his adorable name. To gaze on the glories divine Shall be my eternal employ, And feel them incessantly shine, My boundless ineffable joy. 2 He freely redeem'd with his blood, My soul from the confines of hell, To live on the smiles of my God, And in his sweet presence to dwell; To shine with the angels of light, With saints and with seraphs to sing, To view, with eternal delight, My Jesus, my savior, my King. 3 In Mesheck, as yet, I reside, A darksome and restless abode! Molested with foes on each side, And longing to dwell with my God. O, when shall my spirit exchange This cell of corruptible clay, For mansions celestial, and range Thro' realms of ineffable day! 4 My glorious redeemer! I long To see thee descend on the cloud, Amidst the bright numberless throng, And mix with the triumphing crow'd; O, when wilt thou bid me ascend, To join in thy praises above, To gaze on thee, world without end, And feast on thy ravishing love? 5 Nor sorrow, nor sickness, nor pain, Nor sin, nor temptation, nor fear, Shall ever molest me again, Perfection of glory reigns there. This soul and this body shall shine In robes of salvation and praise, And banquet on pleasures divine, Where God his full beauty displays. 6 Ye palaces, sceptres, and crowns, Your pride with disdain I survey; Your pomps are but shadows and sounds, And pass in a moment away: The crown that my savior bestows, Yon permanent fun shall outshine; My jou everlastingly flows, My God, my redeemer is mine.

Our hearts subdu'd by goodness fall, And weep, and love, and praise. Scripture: Acts 17:30 Languages: English

All attainments vain without love

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Graces of the Spirit Love to Enemies First Line: Should bounteous nature kindly pour Lyrics: 1 Should bounteous nature kindly pour Her richest gifts on me, Still, O my God, I should be poor, If void of love to thee. 2 Not shining wit, nor manly sense, Could make me truly good: Nor zeal itself could recompense The want of love to God. 3 Did I possess the gift of tongues, But were deny'd thy grace, My loudest words, my loftiest songs, Would be but sounding brass. 4 Tho' thou shouldst give me heavenly skill, Eeach myst'ry to explain, If I'd no heart to do thy will, My knowledge would be vain. 5 Had I so strong a faith, my God, As mountains to remove, No faith could do me real good, That did not work by love. 6 [What tho', to gratify my pride, And make my Heaven secure, All my possessions I divide, Among the hungry poor! 7 What tho' my body I consign, To the devouring flame, In hope the glorious deed will shine In roils of endless fame! 8 These splendid acts of vanity, Tho' all the world applaud, If destitute of charity, Can never please my God.] 9 O grant me then this one request, And I'll be satisfy'd, That love divine may rule my breast, And all my actions guide. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Languages: English

Deceitful is my heart: Guilt presses down my burden'd soul, But Jesus can the waves controul, And bid my fears depart. 2 When first I heard his word of grace, Ungratefully I hid my face, Ungratefully delay'd: At length his voice more powerful came, " 'Tis I" he cry'd "I, still the same, "Thou need's not be afraid." 3 My heart was chang'd, in that same hour My soul confess'd his mighty power, Outflow'd the briny tear: I listen'd still to hear his voice, Again he said, "in me rejoice, " 'Tis I, thou need's not fear." 4 "Unworthy of thy love," I cry'd, "Freely I love," he soon reply'd, "On me thy faith be staid; "On me for every thing depend, "I'm Jesus still, the sinner's friend. "Thou need'st not be afraid." Scripture: John 6:20 Languages: English
