you will receive my soul.

to whom my thoughts aspire?
And, having you, what more on earth

the Lord will ever be

my God eternally.

O Lord, how are my foes increased? Against me many rise
O Lord, I unto thee do cry
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I unto thee do cry,
do thou make haste to me,
and give an ear unto my voice,
when I cry unto thee.
2 As incense let my prayer be
directed in thine eyes;
and the uplifting of my hands
as the evening sacrifice.
3 Set, Lord, a watch before my mouth,
keep of my lips the door.
4 My heart incline thou not unto
the ills I should abhor,
to practise wicked works with men
that work iniquity;
and with their dainties let me not
and them partaker be.
5 Let him that righteous is me smite,
it shall a kindness be;
let him reprove, I shall it count
a precious oil to me,
such oil my head shall not refuse,
for yet shall come the day
when I, in their calamities
to God pray for them shall pray.
6 When down the sides of rugged rocks
their judges shall be cast,
then shall they hear my words; for they
shall sweet be to their taste.
7 About the grave’s devouring mouth
our bones are scattered round,
as wood which men do cut and cleave
lies scattered on the ground.
8 But unto thee, O God the Lord,
mine eyes uplifted be:
my soul do not leave destitute;
my trust is set on thee.
9 Lord, keep me safely from the snares
which they for me prepare;
and from the subtle gins of them
that evil-doers are.
10 Let workers of iniquity
into their own nets fall,
Whilst I do, by thine help, escape
the danger of them all. Scripture: Psalm 141 Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM (FENWICK)
O Lord, I unto thee do cry
Oh! thou, whose tender mercy hears
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 361 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
Oh! thou, whose tender mercy hears
Contrition's humble sigh;
Whose hand indulgent wipes the tears
From sorrow's weeping eye.
2.
See, low before thy throne of grace,
A wretched wanderer mourn;
Hast thou not bid me seek thy face?
Hast thou not said—return?
3.
And shall my guilty fears prevail
To drive me from thy feet?
Oh! let not this dear refuge fail,
This only safe retreat.
4.
Absent from thee, my Guide, my Light,
Without one cheering ray;
Through dangers, fears and gloomy night,
How desolate my way!
5.
Oh! shine on this benighted heart,
With beams of mercy shine!
And let thy healing voice impart
A taste of joys divine.

Father, I Stretch My Hands to Thee
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 540 hymnals First Line: Father, I stretch my hand to Thee Lyrics: 1 Father, I stretch my hands to Thee;
No other help I know:
If Thou withdraw Thyself from me,
Ah! whither shall I go?
2 What did Thine only Son endure,
Before I drew my breath!
What pain, what labor, to secure
My soul from endless death!
3 Surely Thou canst not let me die;
Oh, speak and I shall live;
And here I will unwearied lie,
Till Thou Thy Spirit give.
4 Author of faith! to Thee I lift
My weary, longing eyes:
Oh, let me now receive that gift!
My soul without it dies. Topics: Repentance Used With Tune: NAOMI

O Christ, Our Hope, Our Heart's Desire
Author: John Chandler Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our hope, our heart's desire,
redemption's only spring,
Creator of the world art thou,
its Savior and its King.
2 How vast the mercy and the love
which laid our sins on thee,
and led thee to a cruel death
to set thy people free.
3 But now the bands of death are burst,
the ransom has been paid;
and thou art on thy Father's throne,
in glorious robes arrayed.
4 O Christ, be thou our lasting joy,
our ever great reward;
our only glory may it be
to glory in the Lord!

Praise for the Fountain opened
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,474 hymnals First Line: There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Emmanuel's veins Refrain First Line: Will you wash in the crimson tide Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains:
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away:
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins away;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow'r,
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved, to sin no more:
Be saved, to sin no more,
Be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved to sin no more.
4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die:
And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
5 When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save:
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save,
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save;
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing Thy pow'r to save.

There Is a Name I Love to Hear
Author: Frederick Whitfield, 1829-1904 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 570 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a name I love to hear;
I love to sing its worth:
It sounds like music in mine ear,
The sweetest name on earth.
2 It tells me of a Savior's love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner's perfect plea.
3 It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in my sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below.
4 Jesus! the name I love so well,
The name I love to hear;
No saints on earth its worth can tell,
No heart conceive how dear. Topics: Jesus Christ Names and Titles; Jesus Names and Titles; Jesus Passion Scripture: 1 John 4:8 Used With Tune: EVAN
