Amen. Used With Tune: ARIEL

Ah wretched souls who strive in vain

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Ah wretched souls, who strive in vain, Slaves to the world, and slaves to sin! A nobler toil may I sustain, A nobler satisfaction win. 2 I would resolve with all my heart, With all my pow'rs to serve the Lord, Nor from his precepts e'er depart, Whose service is a rich reward. 3 O be his service all my joy! Around let my example shine; Till others love the blest employ, And join in labours so divine. 4 Be this the purpose of my soul, My solemn my determin'd choice, To yield to his supreme control, And in his kind commands rejoice. 5 O may I never faint nor tire, Nor wandering leave his sacred ways; Great God! accept my soul's desire, And give me strength to live thy praise.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 406 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls! away our fears! Let ev'ry trembling thought be gone. Awake, and run the heav'nly race, And put a cheerful courage on. 2 True, ’tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God, Who strength imparts to ev'ry saint. 3 The mighty God, whose matchless pow'r Is ever new, and ever young, And firm endures, while endless years Their everlasting circles run. 4 Swift as an eagle cuts the air, We’ll mount aloft to thine abode; On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire amidst the heav’nly road.

Do I indulge some unknown sin? O turn my feet whene'er I stray, And lead me in thy perfect way.

Author: O. Heginbotham Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of; Christians Love for Christ; Communion of Saints With Christ First Line: Blest Jesus! when my soaring thoughts Lyrics: 1 Blest Jesus! when my soaring thoughts O'er all thy graces rove, How is my soul in transport lost,-- In wonder, joy and love! 2 Not softest strains can charm my ears, Like thy beloved name; Nor aught beneath the skies inspire My heart with equal flame. 3 Where'er I look, my wondering eyes Unnumbered blessings see; But what is life, with all its bliss, If once compared with thee? 4 Hast thou a rival in my breast? Search, Lord, for thou canst tell If aught can raise my passions thus, Or please my soul so well. 5 No; thou art precious to my heart, My portion and my joy: For ever let thy boundless grace My sweetest thoughts employ.
