2My God, whene'er my longing heartText
4Lord, when my raptur'd thought surveysText
7Come heav'nly love, inspire my songText

24Lord of the earth, and seas, and skiesText
25O happiness, thou pleasing dreamText
27Come weary souls with sin distressedText
28When fainting in the sultry wasteText

32My God, the visits of thy faceText
34Come Lord, and warm each languid heartText
37Great King of kings, eternal GodText

48My maker, and my kingText
50Almighty Father, gracious LordText
53Jesus, the spring of joys divineText
54Thou only sov'reign of my heartText
56Another day is pastText
58Father of mercies, in thy wordText
61Dear Lord, and shall thy Spirit restText
63Deep are the wounds which sin has madeText
64He lives, the great Redeemer livesText
65Eternal pow'r, almighty GodText
67And will the Lord thus condescendText

96How long shall earth's alluring toysText
97Happy the soul, whose wishes climbText
99Life is a journey, heav'n my homeText
100When fancy spreads her boldest wingsText
102In vain my roving thoughts would findText
103Ye gay deceivers of the mindText
104Sad pris'ners in a house of clayText
106When blooming youth is snatch'd awayText
107Death! 'tis a name with terror fraughtText
109The wondring nations have beheldText
110O thou, whose tender mercy hearsText
112Why should my spirit cleave to earthText
114My God, my Father, blissful Name!Text

117Thee, dearest Lord, my soul adoresText
119Ah! wretched, vile, ungrateful heartText
120Sure I must love the Saviour's nameText
122And is the gospel, peace and love?Text
124Hence, vain, intruding world departText
126God is my sun, his blissful raysText
127Oft have I said, with inward sighsText
130Enslav'd by sin, and bound in chainsText
131Lord, how mysterious are thy ways!Text
133My God, 'tis to Thy mercy seatText
134When I survey life's varied sceneText
136Hear, gracious God, my humble moanText
138When sins and fears prevailing riseText
139Vain world, be gone, nor vex my heartText
141When fill'd with grief, my anxious heartText
143My God, to thee I callText
144Dear refuge of my weary soulText
146O'erwhelm'd with restless griefs and fearsText
148Peace, my complaining, doubting heartText
150When sin and sorrow, fear and painText
151Awake, my soul, nor slumb'ring lieText
153When death appears before my sightText
155Should nature's charms, to please the eyeText
157Far from these narrow scenes of nightText
159While my Redeemer's nearText
161Ah wretched souls, who strive in vainText
162The Saviour calls—let ev'ry earText
163Dear center of my best desiresText
164Thou lovely source of true delightText
165O for a sweet inspiring rayText
166O could we read our int'rest hereText
169Jesus—in thy transporting nameText
171To our Redeemer's glorious nameText
172Ye earthly vanities departText
173Now let us raise our chearful strainsText
175And did the holy and the justText
176To Jesus. our exalted LordText
