Ah! guilty sinner, ruined by transgression

Author: Anon. Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ah! guilty sinner, ruined by transgression, What will thy doom be when arrayed in terror? God shall command thee, covered with pollution, "Up to the judgment, up to the judgment?" 2 Oft he has called thee, but thou would'st not hear him; Mercies and judgments have alike been slighted; Yet he is gracious, and with arms unfolded Waits to embrace you. 3 But if you trifle with his gracious message, Cleave to the world, and love its guilty pleasures, Mercy, grown weary, will in righteous judgment Leave you forever. 4 Then you shall call, but he will not regard you; Seek for his favor, yet will never find it; Cry to the rocks to hide you from his presence Deep in their caverns. 5 O! guilty sinner, hear the voice of warning; Fly to the Saviour, and embrace his pardon: So shall you meet him, and with joy triumphant, Coming to judgment.

Dark was the night, and cold the ground

Author: Thomas Haweis Appears in 117 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dark was the night, and cold the ground On which the Lord was laid; His sweat like drops of blood ran down, In agony he prayed: 2"Father, remove this bitter cup, If such thy sacred will; If not, content to drink it up, Thy pleasure I fulfill." 3 Go the the garden, sinner, see Those precious drops that flow; The heavy load he bore for thee, For thee he lies so low. 4 Then learn of him the cross to bear, Thy Father's will obey; And, when temptations press thee near, Awake to watch and pray.

[Chorus] 3 Though I meet with tribulations, Surely tempted though I be; I remember thou wast tempted, And rejoice to follow thee. [Chorus] 4 Though thou lead'st me through affliction, Poor, forsaken, though I be; Thou was destitute, afflicted, And I only follow thee.

Are we almost there? are we almost there?

Author: Anon. Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Are we almost there? are we almost there? Says the weary saint, as he sighs for home; Are those the verdant trees that rear Their stately forms 'mid heav'ns bright dome! 2 Then he talks of the flowers, the unsullied stream That flows through the paradise of God; And he longs to wake from life's troubled dream, To walk those golden streets abroad. 3 He is weary and sick of this world's rude strife, And pants for a holy, peaceful clime; To glow with the vigor of endless life, And be compassed no more by the bounds of time. 4 His eye is fixed on the world to come; He walks by faith through this vale of care, And oft inquires, as he draws near home, With anxious heart, "Are we almost there!" 5 They bid him look at the charms of earth, At the boasted trophies man doth rear; To enter the giddy halls of mirth; But ah! how vain do they all appear! 6 For he's had an earnest of those joys Which the righteous alone can ever share; He turns with contempt from these earthly toys, And fervently asks, "Are we almost there?" 7 He is waiting to hear the trumpet sound, And to meet the Saviour in the air; The day-star dawns; soon with joyous bound He can say indeed, "We are almost there."

Chief of sinners though I be

Author: McComb Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners though I be, Jesus shed his blood for me; Died that I might live on high, Died that I might never die; As the branch is to the vine, I am his, and he is mine. 2 O the hight of Jesus' love! Higher than the heaven above, Deeper than the deepest sea, Lasting as eternity; Love that found me, wondrous tho't! Found me when I sought him not! 3 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me; All my wants to him are known, All my sorrows are his own; Safe with him from earthly strife, He sustains the hidden life.

In heavenly love abiding

Author: Anna L. Waring Appears in 599 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In heavenly love abiding, No change my heart shall fear; And safe is such confiding, For nothing changes here. The storm may roar without me, My heart may low be laid, But God is round about me, And can I be dismayed? 2 Wherever he may guide me, No want shall turn me back; My Shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim, He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him. 3 Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where darkest clouds have been. My hope I cannot measure, My path to life is free, My Saviour has my treasure, And he will walk with me. Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE
