Conviction of sin by the law
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 128 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:24 First Line: Lord, how secure my conscience was Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my conscience was,
And felt no inward dread!
I was alive without the law,
And thought my sins were dead.
2 My hopes of heav'n were firm and bright;
But since the precept came
With a convincing pow'r and light,
I find how vile I am.
3 My guilt appear'd but small before,
Till terribly I saw
How perfect, holy, just, and pure,
Was thy eternal law.
4 Then felt my soul the heavy load,
My sins reviv'd again;
I had provok'd a dreadful God,
And all my hopes were slain.
5 I'm like a helpless captive sold
Under the pow'r of sin;
I cannot do the good I would,
Nor keep my conscience clean.
6 My God, I cry with ev'ry breath,
For some kind pow'r to save,
To break the yoke of sin and death,
And thus redeem the slave.

God Is Working This Purpose Out
Author: Arthur C. Ainger Meter: Irregular Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:18-30 Lyrics: 1 God is working this purpose out,
as year succeeds to year;
God is working this purpose out,
and the time is drawing near;
nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be:
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west,
where human feet have trod,
by the mouth of many messengers
goes forth the voice of God:
“Give ear to me, ye continents,
ye isles, give ear to me,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.”
3 Let us go forth in the strength of God,
with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth
may shine throughout the world.
Let us all fight with sorrow and sin
to set the captives free,
that the earth may be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is nothing worth
unless God blesses the deed.
Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
till God gives life to the seed.
Yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as the waters cover the sea. Topics: Time; Confessing Faith; God Glory of; God Power of; Time Used With Tune: PURPOSE Text Sources: Church Missionary Hymn Book, 1899, alt.

O God of truth, whose living Word
Author: Thomas Hughes Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:22 Lyrics: 1 O God of truth, whose living Word
Upholds whate'er hath breath,
Look down on thy creation, Lord,
Enslaved by sin and death,
2 Set up thy standard, Lord, that we
Who claim a heav'nly birth,
May march with thee to smite the lies
That vex thy groaning earth.
3 Ah! would we join that blest array,
And follow in the might
Of him, the Faithful and the True,
In raiment clean and white!
4 Then, God of truth for whom we long,
Thou who wilt hear our pray'r,
Do thine own battle in our hearts,
And slay the falsehood there.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Conflict with Sin; Missions; Truth; Word of God Used With Tune: MIRFIELD

Vom freudigen Gebet
Author: Bartholomäus Crasselius Appears in 71 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:26 First Line: Dir, dir, Jehova, will ich singen Lyrics: 1 Dir, Dir Jehova will ich singen,
denn wo ist doch ein solcher Gott wie Du?
Dir will ich meine Lieder bringen,
ach! gieb mir Feines Geistes Kraft dazu,
daß ich es thu' im Namen Jesu Christ,
so wie es Dir durch Ihn gefällig ist.
2 Zeuch mich, o Vater! zu dem Sohne,
damit Dein Sohn mich wieder zieh zu Dir;
Dein Geist in meinem Herzen wohne,
und meine Sinnen und Verstand regier',
daß ich den Frieden Gottes schmeck' und fühl',
und Dir darob im Herzen sing' und spiel'.
3 Verleih mir, Höchster, solche Güte,
so wird gewiß mein Singen recht gethan,
so klingt es schön in meinem Liede,
und ich bet' Dich im Geist und Wahrheit an,
so hebt Dein Geist mein Herz zu Dir empor,
daß ich Dir Psalmen sing' im höhern Chor.
4 Denn der kann mich bei Dir vertreten
mit Seufzen, die ganz unaussprechlich sind,
der lehret mich recht gläubig beten,
giebt Zeugniß meinem Geist, daß ich Dein Kind
und ein Mit-Erbe Jesu Christi sei,
daher ich Abba, lieber Vater! schrei.
5 Wenn dies aus meinem Herzen schallet,
durch Deines heil'gen Geistes Kraft und Trieb,
so bricht Dein Vater-Herz und wallet
ganz brünstig gegen mir für heißer Lieb',
daß mir's die Bitte nicht versagen kann,
die ich nach Deinem Willen hab' gethan.
6 Was mich Dein Geist selbst bitten lehret,
das ist nach Deinem Willen eingericht't,
und wird gewiß von Dir erhöret,
weil es im Namen Deines Sohn's geschicht,
durch welchen ich Dein Kind und Erbe bin,
und nehme von Dir Gnad' um Gnade hin.
7 Wohl mir, daß ich dies Zeugniß habe,
drum bin ich voller Trost und Freundigkeit,
und weiß, daß alle gute Gabe,
die ich von Dir verlange jederzeit,
die giebst Du und thust überschwänglich mehr,
als ich verstehe, bitte und begehr'.
8 Wohl mir, ich bitt' in Jesu Namen,
der mich zu Deiner Rechten selbst vertritt,
in Ihm ist alles ja und Amen,
was ich von Dir im Geist und Glauben bitt':
wohl mir! Lob Dir, jetzt und in Ewigkeit,
daß Du mir schenkest solche Seligkeit.
