Charity to the Poor; or, Religionin Words and Deeds

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #68 (1740) Topics: Wickedness of Man First Line: Why do the wealthy Wicked boast Lyrics: 1 Why do the wealthy Wicked boast, And grow profanely bold? The meanest Portion of the Just Excels the Sinner's Gold. 2 The Wicked borrows of his Friends, But ne'er designs to pay; The Saint is merciful and lends, Nor turns the Poor away. 3 His Alms with lib'ral Heart he gives Amongst the Sons of Need; His Mem'ry to long Ages lives, And blessed is his Seed. 4 His Lips abhor to talk prophane, To slander or defraud; His ready Tongue declares to Men What he has learn'd of GOD. 5 The Law and Gospel of the Lord Deep in his Heart abide; Led by the Spirit, and the Word, His Feet shall never slide. 6 When Sinners fall, the Righteous stand, Preserv'd from ev'ry Snare; They shall possess the promis'd Land, And dwell for ever there. Scripture: Psalm 37:16-31 Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #96a (1740) Topics: Wickedness of Man First Line: Shew Pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive Lyrics: 1 Shew pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive, Let a repenting Rebel live; Are not thy Mercies large and free; May not a Sinner trust in Thee? 2 My Crimes are great, but not surpass The Pow'r and Glory of thy Grace; Great GOD, thy Nature hath no Bound, So let thy pard'ning Love be found. 3 O wash my Soul from ev'ry Sin, And make my guilty Conscience clean; Here on my Heart the Burden lies, And past Offences pain mine Eyes. 4 My Lips with Shame my Sins confess Against thy Law, against thy Grace; Lord, should thy Judgment grow severe, I am condemn'd, but thou art clear. 5 Should sudden Vengeance seize my Breath, I must pronounce Thee just in Death; And if my Soul were sent to Hell, Thy righteous Law approves it well. 6 Yet save a trembling Sinner, Lord, Whose Hope still hov'ring round thy Word, Would light on some sweet Promise there, Some sure Support against Despair. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #97 (1740) Topics: Wickedness of Man First Line: O Thou that hear'st when Sinners cry Lyrics: 1 O Thou that hear'st when Sinners cry, Tho' all my Crimes before Thee lie, Behold them not with angry Look, But blot their Mem'ry from thy Book. 2 Create my Nature pure within, And form my Soul averse to Sin: Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Nor hide thy Presence from my Heart. 3 I cannot live without thy Light, Cast out and banished from thy Sight: Thine holy Joys my GOD restore, And guard me that I fall no more. 4 Though I have griev'd thy Spirit, Lord, Thy Help and Comfort still afford; And let a Wretch come near thy Throne, To plead the Merits of thy Son. 5 A broken Heart, my GOD, my King, Is all the Sacrifice I bring; The God of Grace will ne'er despise A broken Heart for Sacrifice. 6 My Soul lies humbled in the Dust, And owns thy dreadful Sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying Eye, And save the Soul condemn'd to die. 7 Then will I teach the World thy Ways; Sinners shall learn thy sov'reign Grace; I'll lead them to my Saviour's Blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. 8 O may thy Love inspire my Tongue! Salvation shall be all my Song; And all my Pow'rs shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English

Orignal and actual Sin confessed and pardoned

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #98 (1740) Topics: Wickedness of Man First Line: Lord, I would spread my sore Distress Lyrics: 1 Lord, I would spread my sore Distress And Guilt before thine Eyes; Against thy Laws, against thy Grace How high my Crimes arise! 2 Shouldst thou condemn my Soul to Hell, And crush my Flesh to Dust, Heav'n would approve thy Vengeance well, And Earth must own it just. 3 I from the Stock of Adam came, Unholy and unclean; All my Original is Shame, And all my Nature Sin. 4 Born in a World of Guilt, I drew Contagion with my Breath; And as my Days advanc'd, I grew A juster Prey for Death. 5 Cleanse me, O Lord, and chear my Soul With thy forgiving Love; O make my broken Spirit whole, And bid my Pains remove. 6 Let not thy Spirit quite depart, Nor drive me from thy Face; Create anew my vicious Heart, And fill it with thy Grace. 7 Then will I make thy Mercy known Before the Sons of Men; Backsliders shall address thy Throne, And turn to GOD again.

Faith is the brightest evidence

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #286 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Wickedness of man Lyrics: Faith is the brightest evidence Of things beyond our sight, Breaks through the clouds of flesh and sense, And dwells in heav'nly light. It sets times past in present view, Brings distant prospects home, Of things a thousand years ago, Or thousand years to come. By faith we know the worlds were made By God's almighty word; Abram, to unknown countries led, By faith obeyed the Lord. He sought a city fair and high, Built by th' eternal hands, And faith assures us, though we die, That heav'nly building stands. Scripture: Hebrews 11 Languages: English

Do we not know that solemn word

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #526 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Wickedness of man Lyrics: Do we not know that solemn word, That we are buried with the Lord, Baptized into his death, and then Put off the body of our sin? Our souls receive diviner breath, Raised from corruption, guilt, and death; So from the grave did Christ arise, And lives to God above the skies. No more let sin or Satan reign Over our mortal flesh again; The various lusts we served before Shall have dominion now no more. Scripture: Romans 6:3-4 Languages: English

Thus Lydia sanctified her house, When she received the word; Thus the believing jailer gave His household to the Lord. Thus later saints, eternal King! Thine ancient truth embrace; To thee their infant offspring bring, And humbly claim the grace. Scripture: Genesis 17:7 Languages: English
