Longing after God

Appears in 272 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Great God, indulge my humble claim Lyrics: 1 Great God, indulge my humble claim Be thou my joy, my hope my rest The glories that compose thy name, Stand all engag'd to make me blest. 2 Thou great and good, thou just and wise, Be thou my father and my God; And make me thine by sacred ties, Thy Son thy servant bought with blood. 3 With heart and eyes and lifted hands, For thee I long, for thee I look; As travellers in thirsty lands, Pant for the cooling water brook. 4 O may thy love inspire my tongue, Salvation shall be all my song; And all my power shall join to bless, The Lord my strength and Righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 63

Pray without ceasing

Appears in 285 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Pray'r was appointed to convey Lyrics: 1 Pray'r was appointed to convey The Blessings God designs to give, Long as they live should Christians pray; For only while they pray they live. 2 The Christian's Heart his Pray'r indites, He speaks as prompted from within, The Spirit his Petitions writes; And Christ receives, and gives it in. 3 And wilt thou in dead Silence lie, When Christ stands waiting for thy Pray'r? My Soul thou hast a Friend on High; Arise and try thy Int'rest there. 4 If Pains afflict, or Wrongs oppress; If Cares distract, if Fears dismay; If Guilt deject, if Sin distress; Thy Remedy's before Thee, pray. 5 'Tis pray'r Supports the Soul that's weak; Tho' Thought be broken, Language lame, Pray; if thou can'st, or can'st not speak; But pray with Faith in Jesu's Name. 6 Depend on him; thou can'st not fail, Make all thy Wants and Wishes known; Fear not; his Merits must prevail; Ask what thou wilt, it shall be done. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Thus saith the wisdom of the Lord Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the wisdom of the Lord, Bless'd is the man that hears my word; Keeps daily watch before my gates, And at my feet for mercy waits. 2 The soul that seeks me shall obtain Immortal wealth, and heav'nly gain, Immortal life is his reward, Life, and the favour of the Lord. 3 But the vile wretch that flies from me, Doth his own soul an injury; Fools that against my grace rebel, Seek death, and love the road to hell.

The glorious Gospel

Author: Dr. Stennett Appears in 63 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: What Wisdom Majesty and grace Lyrics: 1 What Wisdom Majesty and grace Thro' all the Gospel shine! 'Tis GOD that speaks, and we confess The Doctrine most divine. 2 Down from his starry Throne on high, Th' Almighty Saviour comes; Lays his bright robes of glory by, And feeble flesh assumes. 3 The mighty debt that sinners owe, Upon the cross he pays: Then thro' the clouds ascends to God, 'Midst shouts of lofty praise. 4 There he our great high priest appears, Before his father's throne: Mingles his merit with our tears, And pours salvation down. 5 Great GOD, with rev'rence we adore Thy Justice and thy grace; And on thy faithfulness and power Our firm dependence place. Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:11

A Joyful Course

Author: Doddridge Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Assist us, LORD, thy name to praise Lyrics: 1 Assist us, LORD, thy name to praise For the rich gospel of thy grace; And, that our hearts may love it more, Teach them to feel its vital power. 2 With joy may we our course pursue, And keep the crown of life in view; That crown, which in one hour repays The labour of ten thousand days. 3 Should bonds of death obstruct our way, Unmov'd their terrors we'll survey; And the last hour improve for thee, The last of life, or liberty. 4 Welcome those bonds, which may unite Our souls to their supreme delight! Welcome that death whose painful strife Bears us to CHRIST our better life!

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 1,217 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove Lyrics: 1 Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove With all thy quick'ning pow'rs; Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 Look how we grovel here below, Fond of these trifling toys; Our souls can neither fly, nor go To reach eternal joys. 3 In vain we tune our formal songs, In vain we strive to rise; Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies. 4 Dear LORD, and shall we ever lie At this poor dying rate? Our love so faint, so cold to thee, And thine to us so great? 5 Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove, With all thy quick'ning pow'rs; Come shed abroad a Saviour’s love, And that shall kindle ours.
