Come, my soul, Thy suit prepare

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #303 (1867) Topics: Man a Sinner Penitent Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, Thy suit prepare, Jesus loves to answer prayer; He himself has bid thee pray, Rise and ask without delay. 2 With my burden I begin; Lord! remove this load of sin! Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt. 3 Lord! I come to Thee for rest; Take possession of my breast; There Thy sovereign right maintain, And without a rival reign. 4 Show me what I have to do, Every hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith, Let me die thy people's death.

Penitence

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #304 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Sinner Penitent First Line: Show pity, Lord! O Lord, forgive! Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord! O Lord, forgive! Let a repenting sinner live, Are not Thy mercies large and free? May not the contrite trust in Thee? 2 With shame my numerous sins I trace Against Thy law, against Thy grace; And, though my prayer Thou shouldst not hear My doom is just, and Thou art clear. 3 Yet save a penitent, O Lord! Whose hope, still hovering round Thy word, Seeks for some precious promise there, Some sure support against despair. 4 My sins are great, but don't surpass The riches of eternal grace. Great God! Thy nature hath no bound: So let Thy pardoning love be found. 5 Oh wash my soul from every stain, Nor let the guilt I mourn remain. Give me to hear Thy pardoning voice, And bid my bleeding heart rejoice. 6 Then shall Thy love inspire my tongue, Salvation shall be all my song; And every power shall join to bless The Lord, my strength and righteousness.

Sin has a thousand treacherous arts

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #256 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Sinner Depraved Lyrics: 1 Sin has a thousand treacherous arts To practice on the mind; With flattering looks she tempts our hearts, But leaves a sting behind. 2 With names of virtue she deceives The agèd and the young; And while the heedless wretch believes, She makes his fetters strong. 3 She pleads for all the joys she brings, And gives a fair pretence; But cheats the soul of heavenly things, And chains it down to sense. 4 So on a tree divinely fair Grew the forbidden food; Our mother took the poison there, And tainted all her blood.

Sin, like a venmous disease

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #257 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Sinner Depraved Lyrics: 1 Sin, like a venomous disease, Infects our vital blood; The only balm is sovereign grace, And the physician, God. 2 Our beauty and our strength are fled, And we draw near to death; But Christ, the Lord, recalls the dead, With His almighty breath. 3 Madness by nature reigns within, The passions burn and rage, Till God's own Son, with skill divine, The inward fire assuage. 4 We lick the dust, we grasp the wind, And solid good despise; Such is the folly of the mind, Till Jesus makes us wise. 5 We give our souls the wounds they feel, We drink the poisonous gall, And rush with fury down to hell; But heaven prevents the fall.

The Lord looked down from heaven's high tower

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #258 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Sinner Depraved Lyrics: 1 the Lord looked down from heaven's high tower, And all the sons of men did view, To see if any owned His power, If any truth or justice knew; 2 But all, He saw, were gone aside, All were degenerate grown, and base; None took religion for their guide, Not one of all the sinful race. 3 How will they tremble, then, for fear, When His just wrath shall them o'ertake: For to the righteous God is near, And never will their cause forsake. 4 Oh that from Sion he'd employ His might, and burst th' oppressive band! Then shouts of universal joy Should loudly echo through the land. Scripture: Psalm 14 Languages: English
