Sincerity and truth

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXXII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Graces of the Spirit Sincerity First Line: Let those who bear the Christian name Lyrics: 1 Let those who bear the christian name Their holy vows fulfill: The saints, the followers of the lamb, Are men of honor still. 2 True to the solemn oaths they take, Tho' to their hurt they swear: Constant and just to all they speak, For God and angels hear. 3 Still with their lips their hearts agree, Nor flattering words devise: They know the God of truth can see Thro' every false disguise. 4 They hate the appearance of a lie, In all the shapes it wears; Firm to the truth—and when they die, Eternal life is theirs. 5 Lo! from afar the Lord descends, And brings the judgment down; He bids his saints, hi faithful friends, Rise and possess their crown. 6 While satan trembles at the sight, And devils wish to die, Where will the faithless hypocrite And guilty liar fly?

Why weepest thou?

Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Graces of the Spirit Repentance First Line: Why, O my soul, why weepest thou? Lyrics: 1 Why, O my soul, why weepest thou? Tell me from whence arise Those briny tears that often flow, Those groans that pierce the skies? 2 Is sin the cause of thy complaint, Or the chastising rod? Dost thou an evil heart lament, And mourn an absent God? 3 Lord, let me weep for nought but sin, And after none but thee, And then, I would, O that I might! A constant weeper be!
