How sad our state by nature is!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #306 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 How sad our state by nature is! Our sin how deep it stains! And satan binds our captive minds Fast in his slavish chains. 2 But there's a voice of sovereign grace Sounds from the sacred word, "Ho, ye despairing sinners, come, And trust upon the Lord." 3 My soul obeys th'almighty call, And runs to this relief; I would believe thy promise, Lord, Oh! help my unbelief. 4 To the dear fountain of thy blood, Incarnate God, I fly, Here let me wash my spotted soul, From crimes of deepest dye. 5 Stretch out thine arm, victorious King, My reigning sins subdue, Drive the old dragon from his seat, With all his hellish crew. 6 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm, On thy kind arms I fall: Be thou my strength and righteousness, My Jesus and my all.

Let carnal minds the world pursue

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #307 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Let carnal minds the world pursue, It has no charms for me; Once, I admir'd its trifles too, But grace has set me free. 2 Its fading charms no longer please, No more content afford; Far from my heart be joys like these, Now I have seen the Lord. 3 As by the light of op'ning day, The stars are all conceal'd; So earthly pleasures fade away, When Jesus is reveal'd. 4 Creatures no more divide my choice-- I bid them all depart; His name, and love, and gracious voice, Have fix'd my roving heart. 5 Now, Lord, I would be thine alone, And wholly live to thee; But may I hope that thou wilt own A worthless worm like me? Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17

O God, to whom in flesh reveal'd

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #308 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 O God, to whom in flesh reveal'd The helpless all for succour came; The sick to be reliev'd and heal'd, And found salvation in thy name. 2 With publicans and harlots I, In these thy Spirit's gospel days, To thee, the sinner's friend, draw nigh, And humbly sue for saving grace. 3 Thou seest me helpless and distressed, Feeble, and faint, and blind, and poor; Weary I come to thee for rest, And sick of sin implore a cure. 4 My sin's incurable disease, Thou, Jesus, thou alone canst heal; Inspire me with thy power and peace, And pardon on my conscience seal. 5 A touch, a word, a look from thee, Can turn my heart and make it clean; Purge the foul inbred leprosy, And save me from my bosom-sin. 6 Lord, if thou wilt, I do believe, Thou canst the saving grace impart; Thou canst this instant now forgive, And stamp thine image on my heart. 7 My heart, which now to thee I raise, I know thou canst this moment cleanse; The deepest stains of sin efface, And drive the evil spirit hence. 8 Be it according to thy word! Accomplish now thy work in me; And let my soul, to health restor'd, Devote its little all to thee!

What mean these jealousies and fears?

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #309 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 What mean these jealousies and fears? As if the Lord was loath to save, Or lov'd to see us drench'd in tears, Or sink with sorrow to the grave. 2 Does he want slaves to grace his throne? Or rules he by an iron rod? Loves he the deep despairing groan? Is he a tyrant, or a God? 3 Not all the sins which we have wrought, So much his tender bowels grieve, As this unkind injurious thought, That he's unwilling to forgive. 4 What though our crimes are black as night, Or glowing like the crimson morn, Immanuel's blood will make them white As now through the pure ether borne. 5 Lord, 'tis amazing grace we own, And well may rebel worms surprise; But, was not thy incarnate Son A most amazing sacrifice? 6 "I've found a ransom," saith the Lord, "No humble penitent shall die?" Lord, we would now believe thy word, And thy unbounded mercies try!

I send the joys of earth away

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #310 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 I send the joys of earth away; Away, ye tempters of the mind, False as the smooth deceitful sea, And empty as the whistling wind. 2 Your streams were floating me along Down to the gulf of black despair, And whilst I listened to your song, Your streams had e'en conveyed me there. 3 Lord, I adore thy matchless grace, That warned me of that dark abyss, That drew me from those treacherous seas, And bid me seek superior bliss. 4 Now to the shining realms above I stretch my hands and glance mine eyes; O for the pinions of a dove, To bear me to the upper skies; 5 There from the bosom of my God, Oceans of endless pleasure roll; There would I fix my last abode, And drown the sorrows of my soul. Scripture: Hebrews 10:39

By various maxims, forms, and rules

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #311 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 By various maxims, forms, and rules, That pass for wisdom in the schools, I strove my passion to refrain; But all my efforts prov'd in vain. 2 But since the Saviour I have known, My rules are all reduced to one;-- I keep my Lord, by faith, in view. This strength supplies and motives too. 3 I see him lead a suff'ring life, Patient amidst reproach and strife; And from this pattern courage take To bear and suffer for his sake. 4 Upon the cross I see him bleed, And by the sight from guilt am freed. This sight destroys the life of sin, And quickens heav'nly life within. 5 To look to Jesus as he rose, Confirms my faith, disarms my foes. The world I shame and overcome, By pointing to my Saviour's tomb. 6 I see him look with pity down, And hold in view the conq'ror's crown. If pressed with griefs and cares before, My soul revives, and asks no more. 7 By faith I see the hour at hand, When in his presence I shall stand. Then it will be my endless bliss, To see him where and as he is.

Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #312 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims His various and his saving names. O may they not be heard alone, But by our sure experience known. 2 Awake, our noblest pow'rs to bless The God of Abra'm, God of peace; Now by a dearer title known, Father and God of Christ his Son. 3 Through ev'ry age his gracious ear Is open to his servants' pray'r; Nor can one humble soul complain, That it hath sought its God in vain. 4 What unbelieving heart shall dare In whispers to suggest a fear, While still he owns his ancient name, The same his pow'r, his love the same! 5 To thee our souls in faith arise, To thee we lift expecting eyes, And boldly through the desert tread, For God will guard, where God shall lead.

Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #313 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss, And saves me from its snares; Its aid in ev'ry duty brings, And softens all my cares: 2 Extinguishes the thirst of sin, And lights the sacred fire Of love to God and heav'nly things, And feeds the pure desire. 3 The wounded conscience know its pow'r The healing balm to give; That balm the saddest heart can cheer, And make the dying live. 4 Wide it unveils celestial worlds, Where deathless pleasures reign; And bids me seek my portion there, Nor bids me seek in vain. 5 Shows me the precious promise seal'd With the Redeemer's blood; And helps my feeble hope to rest Upon a faithful God. 6 There, there unshaken would I rest, Till this vile body dies; And then on Faith's triumphant wings At once to glory rise.

Tis by the faith of joys to come

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #314 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 'Tis by the faith of joys to come, We walk through deserts dark as night; Till we arrive at heav'n our home, Faith is our guide, and faith our light. 2 The want of sight she well supplies; She makes the pearly gates appear; Far into distant worlds she pries, And brings eternal glories near. 3 Cheerful we tread the desert through, While faith inspires a heav'nly ray, Though lions roar, and tempests blow, And rocks and dangers fill the way. 4 So Abra'm, by divine command, Left his own house to walk with God; His faith beheld the promis'd land, And fir'd his zeal along the road.

In vain would boasting reason find

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #315 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 In vain would boating reason find The path to happiness and God; Her weak directions leave the mind Bewilder'd in a doubtful road. 2 Jesus, thy words alone impart Eternal life; on these I live; Diviner comforts cheer my heart Than all the pow'rs of nature give. 3 Here let my constant feet abide; Thou art the true, the living way: Let thy good Spirit be my guide To the bright realms of endless day. 4 The various forms that men devise To shake my faith with treach'rous art, I scorn as vanity and lies, And bind thy gospel to my heart.
