The doubting christian
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CXL (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christiian Doubting; Christiian Doubting First Line: Of sinful Adam's num'rous race Lyrics: 1 Of sinful Adam's num'rous race,
I find myself most vile;
To me can God extend his grace
Or ever grant a smile?
2 Can I be call'd a child of God,
Can I his promise claim;
While sinking in the loathsome flood,
Of inbred sin and shame?
3 Once I could shout his praises high,
And call him Lord and king;
But now how cold and dead I lie,
Nor dare I think to sing.
4 Once I could join his praying flock,
And thought the union sweet:
Conscience forbids me now to mock,
By claiming there a seat.
5 Was I deceiv'd? Blest spirit tell,
Nor leave me to despair:
Sometimes a heav'n sometimes a hell,
Within this heart appear.
6 Sometimes I feel a beam divine,
The God I own and love;
It seams direct from heav'n to shine,
And call me strait above.
7 I stretch my wings, and fain wold fly;
But Oh, my want of pow'r!
The vision ends, I sin and sigh,
And count the awful score.
8 Great God resolve this painful strife,
Grant faith and love may reign;
Then I'll devote an endless life
To sing in highest strain.

Doubting
Author: Newton Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLXXXV (1790) Topics: Doubting First Line: 'Tis a point I long to know Lyrics: 1 'Tis a point I long to know,
Oft it causes anxious thought;
Do I love the LORD, or no?
Am I his, or am I not?
2 If I love, why am I thus?
Why this dull and lifeless frame?
Hardly, sure, can they be worse
Who have never heard thy name.
3 Could my heart so hard remain,
Prayer a task and burden prove,
Every trifle give me pain,
If I knew a Saviour's love!
4 When I turn my eyes within,
All is dark, and vain and wild;
Fill'd with unbelief and sin,
Can I deem myself a child?
5 If I pray, or hear, or read,
Sin is mix'd with all I do;
You who love the LORD indeed,
Tell me, is it thus with you?
6 Yet I mourn my stubborn will,
Find my sin a grief and thrall;
Should I grieve at what I feel,
If I did not love at all?
7 Could I joy his saints to meet,
Choose the way I once abhor'd;
Find, at times, the promise sweet,
If I did not love the LORD?
8 LORD, decide the doubtful case?
Thou, who art the people's sun;
Since upon thy work of grace,
If it be indeed begun.
9 Let me love thee more and more,
If I love at all, I'll pray;
If I have not lov'd before,
Help me to begin To-day. Languages: English

God Loves All the Righteous
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #73 (1987) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Doubt; Doubt First Line: God loves all the righteous, his goodness is sure Lyrics: 1 God loves all the righteous; his goodness is sure.
He always remembers the good and the pure.
Yet once my faith faltered; I envied the proud.
In doubt and disquiet my spirit was bowed.
2 The wicked all prosper, and firm is their health;
they suffer no pangs as they gather their wealth.
They never are troubled with sickness or pain,
but boast to all others of ill-gotten gain.
3 In garments of boasting and violence decked,
with wealth more abundant than heart could expect,
they scoff at the helpless, make fun of the poor;
with curses they charge against heaven's own door.
4 They question God's knowledge and boldly defy
the might and the justice of God the Most High.
The wicked, grown wealthy, have comfort and peace,
while I, daily chastened, see troubles increase.
5 Forgetting God's children, I cried out in pain
that clean hands are worthless and pure hearts are vain.
But then in God's temple my doubts were dispelled;
the end of their journey I clearly beheld.
6 In doubt and temptation, I rest, LORD, in you;
my hand is in your hand, whatever I do.
You always are with me; you guide with your word,
and soon into glory will take me, O LORD.
7 Whom have I, O Savior, in heaven but you?
On earth for none other I long but for you.
My flesh and my heart may be weakened and sore,
but God is the strength of my heart evermore.
8 All those who forsake you will perish and die,
but, near to my Savior, most blessed am I.
I make you my refuge, my LORD and my God;
your grace and your glory I publish abroad.

Christ be my leader by night as by day
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Hymnal: Together in Song #624 (1999) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Doubt Lyrics: 1 Christ be my leader by night as by day;
safe through the darkness, for he is the way.
Gladly I follow, my future his care,
darkness is daylight when Jesus is there.
2 Christ be my teacher in age as in youth,
drifting or doubting, for he is the truth.
Grant me to trust him, though shifting as sand,
doubt cannot daunt me; in Jesus I stand.
3 Christ be my Saviour in calm as in strife;
death cannot hold me, for he is the life.
Nor darkness nor doubting nor sin and its stain
can touch my salvation: with Jesus I reign. Scripture: 1 John 1:5-10 Languages: English Tune Title: BONNIE GEORGE CAMPBELL
