Secret prayer
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXXXII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Personal Religion First Line: Father divine, thy piercing eye Lyrics: 1 Father divine, thy piercing eye
Sees thro' the darkest night;
In deep retirement thou art nigh,
With heart discerning sight.
2 There may thy piercing eye survey
My dutious homage paid,
With every morning's dawning ray,
And every evening's shade.
3 O let thy own celestial fire
The incense still inflame;
While my warm vows to thee aspire,
Thro' my redeemer's name.
4 So shall the visits of thy love
My soul in secret bless;
So shalt thou deign in worlds above
Thy suppliant to confess.
Pause.
5 Mercy, good Lord, mercy I ask
This is the total sum;
Mercy, thro' Christ, is all my suit,
Lord, let thy mercy come. Scripture: Matthew 6:6 Languages: English

Reading the scriptures
Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXXX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Personal Religion First Line: Great God, oppress'd with grief and fear Lyrics: 1 Great God, oppress'd with grief and fear,
I take thy book and hope to find
Some gracious word of promise there,
To sooth the sorrows of my mind:
2 I turn the sacred volume o'er,
And search with care from page to page:
Of threatnings find an ample store,
But nought that can my grief assuage,
3 And is there nought? forbid dear Lord,
So base a thought should e'er arise;
I'll search again, and while I search,
O may the scales fall off mine eyes!
4 'Tis done: and with transporting joys,
I read the heaven-inspired lines;
There mercy spreads its brightest beams,
And truth with dazzling lustre shines.
5 Here's heavenly food for hungry souls,
And mines of gold to enrich the poor;
Here's healing balm for every wound,
A salve for every festering sore.

Retirement and Meditation
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Personal Religion First Line: Return, my roving heart, return Lyrics: 1 Return, my roving heart, return,
And chase these shadowy forms no more
Seek out some solitude to mourn,
And thy forsaken God implore.
2 O thou great God, whose piercing eye
Distinctly marks each deep recess;
In these sequester'd hours draw nigh,
And with thy presence fill the place.
3 Thro' all the windings of my heart,
My search let heavenly wisdom guide;
And still its radiant beams impart,
'Till all be search'd and purify'd.
4 Then, with the Visits of thy love,
Vouchsafe my inmost soul to cheer;
'Till every grace shall join to prove,
That God hath fix'd his dwelling there.

Self-Examination
Author: President Davies Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXXXI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Personal Religion First Line: What strange perplexities arise Lyrics: 1 What strange perplexities arise?
What anxious fears and jealousies?
What crowds in doubtful light appear?
How few, alas, approv'd and clear?
2 And what am I?—My soul, awake,
And an impartial survey take;
Does no dark sign, no ground of fear,
In practice or in heart appear?
3 What image does my spirit bear?
Is Jesus form'd and living there?
Say, do his lineaments divine
In thought, and word, and action shine?
4 Searcher of hearts, O search me still;
The secrets of my soul reveal;
My fears remove; let me appear
To God, and my own conscience clear.
5 Scatter the clouds, that o'er my head
Thick glooms of dubious terrors spread;
Lead me into celestial day,
And, to myself, myself display.
6 May I at that bless'd world arrive,
Where Christ thro' all my soul shall live,
And give full proof that he is there,
Without one gloomy doubt or fear! Scripture: Galatians 4:19-20 Languages: English
