Whilst sinners, who presume to bear

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #283 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Whilst sinners, who presume to bear The Christian's sacred name, Throw up the reins to ev'ry lust, And glory in their shame: 2 Ye saints, preserv'd in Christ and call'd, Detest their impious ways, And on the basis of your faith An heav'nly temple raise. 3 Upon the Spirit's promis'd aid Depend from day to day; And, whilst he breathes his quick'ning grace, Adore, and praise, and pray. 4 Preserve unquenched your love to God, And let the flame arise, And higher and still higher blaze, 'Till it ascends the skies. 5 With a transporting joy expect The grace your Lord shall give, When all his saints shall from his hands Their crowns of life receive.

Supreme and universal light!

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #279 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Supreme and universal light! Fountain of reason! Judge of right! Without whose kind, directing ray, In everlasting night we stray: 2 Assist us, Lord, to act, to be, What all thy sacred laws decree; Worthy that intellectual flame, Which from thy breathing spirit came. 3 No slave to profit, shame, or fear, O may our steadfast bosoms bear The stamp of heav'n, an honest heart, Above the mean disguise of art! 4 May our expanded souls disclaim The narrow view, the selfish aim; But with a Christian zeal embrace Whate’er is friendly to our race. 5 O Father! grace and virtue grant: No more we wish, no more we want: To know, to serve thee, and to love, Is peace below, is bliss above.
