When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as Gold

Author: Medley Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CLII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: With joy let each afflicted saint Lyrics: 1 With joy let each afflicted saint This cheering truth behold, That when he's try'd he shall not faint, But shall come forth as gold. 2 This privilege, dear Lord, I claim, Nor am I here too bold, That from the trying, fiery flame, I may come forth as gold. 3 What tho' the furnace burns on high, Still to this truth I'll hold, 'Tis but design'd my soul to try— I shall come forth as gold. 4 Herein his wisdom and his love Will God to me unfold, And from the furnace I shall prove, He'll bring me forth as gold. 5 He'll kindly thus consume my dross, So in his word I'm told, Nor can I suffer real loss, But shall come forth as gold. 6 Thus he'll conform me to his word, And cast me in that mould; And, through the goodness of my God, I shall come forth as gold. 7 Thus will I sing his praises here, Whose mercies are of old; And when in glory I appear, I shall come forth as gold.

The Sinner awakened

Author: Fawcett Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LXII (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: With melting heart and weeping eyes Lyrics: 1 With melting heart and weeping eyes, My guilty soul for mercy cries; What shall I do, or whither flee, T' escape that vengeance due to me? 2 Till now, I saw no danger nigh: I liv'd at ease, nor fear'd to die; Wrapt up in self-deceit and pride, "I shall have peace at last," I cry'd. 3 But when, great God, thy light divine Had shone on this dark soul of mine, Then I beheld, with trembling awe, The terrors of thy holy law. 4 How dreadful now my guilt appears, In childhood, youth, and growing years! Before thy pure, discerning eye, Lord, what a filthy wretch as I! 5 Should vengeance still my soul pursue, Death and destruction are my due; Yet mercy can my guilt forgive, And bid a dying sinner live. 6 Does not thy sacred word proclaim Salvation free in Jesu's name? To him I look, and humbly cry, "O save a wretch condemn'd to die!" Scripture: Acts 9:6 Languages: English

Sin lamented

Author: Stennett Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LXIV (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: With tears of anguish I lament Lyrics: 1 With tears of anguish I lament Here at they feet, my God, My passion, pride, and discontent, And vile ingratitude. 2 Sure there was ne'er a heart so base, So false as mine has been! So faithless to its promises, So prone to every sin! 3 My reason tells me thy commands Are holy, just, and true; Tells me whate'er my God demands, Is his most righteous due. 4 Reason I hear, her counsels weigh, And all her words approve: But still I find it hard t' obey, And harder yet to love. 5 How long, dear Saviour, shall I feel Those struggles in my breast? When wilt thou bow my stubborn will, And give my conscience rest? 6 Break, sovereign grace, O break the charm And set the captive free: Reveal, Almighty God, thine arm, And haste to rescue me.

Happy Poverty, or poor in Spirit

Author: Steele Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXXIX (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Ye humble souls, complain no more Lyrics: 1 Ye humble souls, complain no more, Let faith survey your future store; How happy, how divinely blest, The sacred words of truth attest. 2 When conscious grief laments sincere, And pours the penitential tear, Hope points to your dejected eyes, The bright reversion in the skies. 3 In vain the sons of wealth and pride Despise your lot, your hopes deride; In vain they boast their little stores, Trifles are theirs, a kingdom yours. 4 A kingdom of immense delight, Where health, and peace, and joy unite; Where undeclining pleasures rise, And every wish hath full supplies. 5 There shall your eyes with rapture view The glorious friend that dy'd for you; That dy'd to ransom, dy'd to raise To crowns of joy, and songs of praise. 6 Jesus, to thee I breathe my prayer; Reveal, confirm my interest there: Whate'er my humble lot below, This, this my soul desires to know! 7 O let me hear that voice divine Pronounce the glorious blessing mine! Enroll'd among thy happy poor, My largest wishes ask no more. Topics: Graces Languages: English

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XXVI (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Ye that pass by, behold the man Lyrics: 1 Ye that pass by, behold the man, The man of grief, condemn'd for you, The Lamb of God for sinners slain, Weeping to Calvary pursue. 2 His sacred limbs they stretch, they tear, With nails they fasten to the wood— His sacred limbs— expos'd and bare, Or only cover'd with his blood. 3 See there! his temples crown'd with thorns, His bleeding hands extended wide, His streaming feet transfix'd and torn, The fountain gushing from his side. 4 O thou dear suffering son of God, How doth thy heart to sinners move! Help us to catch thy precious blood, Help us to taste thy dying Love. 5 The earth could to her centre quake, Convuls'd when her Creator died; O may our inmost nature shake, And bow with Jesus crucified! 6 At thy last gasp, the graves display'd Their horrors to the upper skies; O that our souls might burst the shade, And, quicken'd by thy death, arise. 7 The rocks could feel thy powerful death, And tremble, and asunder part; O rend, with thy expiring breath, The harder marble of our heart.

The Midnight Cry

With that bless'd wedding-robe endu'd,— The blood and righteousness of God. Topics: Time and Eternity Languages: English
