Can Adam's sons arrive at heaven:
New works can give us no pretence
To have our ancient sins forgiven.

Can make a wounded conscience whole:
Faith is the grace, and faith alone,
That flies to Christ, and saves the soul.
3 Lord, I believe thy heavenly word,
Fain would I have my soul renew'd:
I mourn for sin, and trust the Lord,
To have it pardon'd and subdu'd.

Let guilt and death no longer reign:
Save me in thine appointed way,
Nor let my humble faith be vain. Scripture: Romans 1:16 Text Sources: Dr. Watt's Sermons

Love to Christ present or absent
Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Love to God First Line: Of all the joys we mortals know Lyrics: 1 Of all the joys we mortals know,
Jesus, thy love exceeds the rest;
Love, the best blessing here below,
The highest rapture of the blest.
2 While we are held in thy embrace,
There's not a thought attempts to rove;
Each smile upon thy beauteous face,
Fixes, and charms, and fires our love.
3 When of thy absence we complain,
And long, or weep in all we do,
There's a strange pleasure in the pain,
And tears have their own sweetness too.
4 When round thy courts by day we rove,
Or ask the watchmen of the night
For some kind tidings of our love,
Thy very name creates delight.
5 Jesus, our God, yet rather come;
Our eyes shall dwell upon thy face;
'Tis best to see our Lord at home,
And feel the presence of his grace. Text Sources: Dr. Watts's Lyric Poems

With uncreated glories bright!
His presence gilds the worlds above;
The unchanging source of light and love.
2 Our rising earth his eye beheld,
When in substantial darkness veil'd;
The shapeless Chaos, nature's womb,
Lay buried in the horrid gloom.
3 "Let there be light," Jehovah said;
And light o'er all the earth was spread:
Nature array'd in charms unknown,
Gay with its new-born lustre shone.
4 He sees the mind, when lost it lies
In shades of ignorance and vice,
And darts from heaven a vivid ray,
And changes midnight into day.
5 Shine, mighty God, with vigor shine
On this benighted heart of mine;
And let thy glories stand reveal'd,
As in the savior's face beheld.
6 My soul, reviv'd by heav'n-born day,
Thy radiant image shall display,
While all my faculties unite
To praise the Lord, who gives me light. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:6

We never knew what faith has meant,
And, slaves to sin and satan's power,
Have never felt these hearts relent.
2 What shall we do? shall we lie down,
Sink in despair, and groan and die;
And, sunk beneath the almighty's frown,
Not glance one cheerful hope on high?
3 Forbid it, Savior! to thy grace
As sinners, strangers, we wil come;
Among thy saints we ask a place,
For in thy mercy there is room.
4 Lord, we believe; O chase away
The gloomy clouds of unbelief:
Lord, we repent! O let thy ray
Dissolve our hearts in sacred grief!
5 Now spread the banner of thy love,
And let us know that we are thine,
Cheer us with blessings from above,—
With all the joys of hope divine.

In hope that I shall hear thy voice,
Shall one day see my God;
Shall cease from all our painful strife,
Handle and taste the word of life,
And feel the sprinkled blood.
2 Let us not always make our moan,
Nor worship thee a God unknown;
But let us live to prove
Thy people's rest, and saint's delight,
The length and breadth, the depth and height
Of thy redeeming love.
3 Rejoicing now in earnest hope,
We stand, and from the mountain-top
See all the land below:
Rivers of milk and honey rise,
And all the fruits of paradise
In endless plenty grow.
4 A land of corn, and wine, and oil,
Favor'd with God's peculiar smile,
With every blessing blest;
There dwells the Lord our righteousness,
And keeps his own in perfect peace
And everlasting rest.
5 O when shall we at once go up,
Nor this side Jordan longer stop,
But the good land possess:
When shall we end our legal years,
Our sorrows, sins, and doubts, and fears,
An howling wilderness!
6 O dearest Joshua, bring us in;
Display thy grace, forgive our sin,
Our unbelief remove:
The heavenly Canaan, Lord divide,
And, O, with all the sanctify'd,
Give us a lot of love! Scripture: Numbers 13:30

In thee believing we rejoice;
Yet still our joy is mix'd with grief,
While faith contends with unbelief.
2 Thy promises our hearts revive,
And keep our fainting hopes alive;
But guilt, and fears, and sorrows rise,
And hide the promise from our eyes.
3 O let not sin and satan boast,
While saints lie mourning in the dust;
Nor see that faith to ruin brought,
Which thy own gracious hand hath wrought.
4 Do thou the dying spark inflame;
Reveal the glories of thy name;
And put all anxious doubts to flight,
As shades dispers'd by opening light. Scripture: Mark 9:24

And knock at mercy's door;
With heavy heart and downcast eye,
Thy favor we implore.
2 [On us, the vast extent display
Of thy forgiving love;
Take all our heinous guilt away,
This heavy load remove.
3 We sink, with all this weight oppress'd,
Sink down to death and hell;
Oh, give our troubled spirits rest,
Our numerous fears dispel.]
4 'Tis mercy, mercy we implore,
We would thy bowels move;
Thy grace is an exhaustless store,
And thou thyself art love.
5 Oh, for thy own, for Jesus' sake,
Our many sins forgive;
Thy grace our rocky hearts can break,
And breaking soon relieve.
6 Thus melt us down, thus make us bend,
And thy dominion own;
Nor let a rival more pretend
To repossess thy throne.
