Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXVII (1799) Topics: Christ Our example First Line: By various maxims, forms, and rules Lyrics: 1 By various maxims, forms, and rules,
That pass for wisdom in the schools,
I strove my passion to refrain;
But all my efforts prov'd in vain.
2 But since the Saviour I have known,
My rules are all reduc'd to one;
I keep my Lord by faith in view,
Which strength supplies and motives too.
3 I see him lead a suff'ring life,
Patient amidst reproach and strife;
And from this pattern courage take
To bear and suffer for his sake.
4 Upon the cross I see him bleed,
And by the fight from guilt am freed;
This fight destroys the life of sin,
And quickens heav'nly life within.
5 To look to Jesus as he rose,
Confirms my faith, disarms my foes;
Satan I shame and overcome,
By pointing to my Saviour's tomb.
6 Exalted on his glorious throne,
I see him make my cause his own;
Then all my anxious cares subside,
For Jesus lives, and will provide.

And stripes, and wounds, and cruel scorn,
I bow my soul before thy throne,
And say, Thy will, not mine, be done.”

And, taught by Jesus, lie as low.
Our hearts, and not our lips alone,

Calls to the joy in which he reigns. Languages: English

God of my mercy and my praise,
Thy glory is my song,
Though sinners speak against thy grace
With a blaspheming tongue.
When in the form of mortal man
Thy Son on earth was found,
With cruel slanders, false and vain,
They compassed him around.
Their miseries his compassion move,
Their peace he still pursued;
They render hatred for his love,
And evil for his good.
Their malice raged without a cause,
Yet, with his dying breath,
He prayed for murderers on his cross,
And blessed his foes in death.
Lord, shall thy bright example shine
In vain before my eyes?
Give me a soul akin to thine,
To love my enemies.
The Lord shall on my side engage,
And, in my Savior's name,
I shall defeat their pride and rage
Who slander and condemn.

With Sin, and Doubts and Fears.

They with united Breath,
Ascribe their Conquest to the Lamb,
Their Triumph to his Death.

(His Zeal inspir'd their Breast)
And, following their incarnate God,
Possess'd the promis'd Rest.

For his own Pattern giv'n,
While the long Cloud of Witnesses
Show the same Path to Heav'n. Languages: English

1 O to be like Thee! blessed Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer;
Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.
Chorus:
O to be like Thee! O to be like Thee,
Blessed Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.
2 O to be like Thee, full of compassion,
Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
Seeking the wand’ring sinner to find. (Chorus)
3 O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,
Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer others to save. (Chorus)
4 O to be like Thee! Lord I am coming,
Now to receive th'anointing divine;
All that I am and have I am bringing.
Lord, from this moment all shall be Thine. (Chorus)
5 O to be like thee! while I am pleading,
Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love;
Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
Fit me for life and heaven above. (Chorus) Languages: English Tune Title: [O to be like Thee! blessed Redeemer]

That angels ever bore;
All are too mean to speak His worth,
Too mean to set our Saviour forth.

What condescending ways,
Doth our Redeemer use
To teach His heavenly grace;
My soul, with joy and wonder see
What forms of love He bears for thee!

My lips shall bless Thy name:
By Thee the joyful news
Of our salvation came;
The joyful news of sins forgiven,
Of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.

Offered His blood and died;
My guilty conscience seeks
No sacrifice beside;
His powerful blood did once atone,
And now it pleads before the throne.

God of my Mercy and my Praise
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P109 (1766) Topics: Christ Our example Lyrics: 1 God of my Mercy and my Praise,
Thy Glory is my Song;
Though Sinners speak against thy Grace
With a blaspheming Tongue.
2 When in the Form of mortal Man
Thy Son on Earth was found,
With cruel Slanders false and vain
They compass'd him around.
3 Their Mis'ries his Compassion move,
Their Peace he still pursu'd;
They render Hatred for his Love,
And Evil for his Good.
4 Their Malice rag'd without a Cause,
Yet, with his dying Breath,
He pray'd for Murd'rers on the Cross,
And blest his Foes in death.
5 Lord, shall thy bright Example shine
In vain before my Eyes?
Give me a Soul a-kin to thine,
To love my Enemies.
6 The Lord shall on my Side engage,
And, in my Saviour's Name,
I shall defeat their Pride and Rage,
Who slander and condemn. Scripture: Psalm 109:31 Languages: English

I read my duty in thy word;
But in thy life the law appears,
Drawn out in living characters.
2 Such was thy truth and such thy zeal,
Such deference to thy Father's will,
Such love, and meekness so divine,
I would transcribe and make them mine.
3 Cold mountains and the midnight air
Witnessed the fervor of thy prayer;
The desert thy temptations knew,
Thy conflict and thy victory too.

More of thy gracious image here;
Then God, the Judge, shall own my name
Among the followers of the Lamb. Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM (MASON'S)

That in thy meekness used to shine,
That lit thy lonely pathway, trod
In wondrous love, O Son of God!
2 Oh, who like thee, so calm, so bright,
So pure, so made to live in light?
Oh, who like thee did ever go
So patient through a world of woe?
3 Oh, who like thee so humbly bore
The scorn, the scoffs of men, before?
So meek, forgiving, godlike, high,
So glorious in humility?
4 Even death, which sets the prisoner free,
Was pang, and scoff, and scorn to thee;
Yet love through all thy torture glowed,
And mercy with thy life-blood flowed.
5 Oh, in thy light be mine to go,
Illuming all my way of woe!
And give me ever on the road
To trace thy footsteps, Son of God. Languages: English
