The meanest portion of the just Excels the sinner's gold. 2 The wicked borrows of his friends, But ne'er designs to pay; The saint is merciful and lends, Nor turns the poor away. 3 His alms with liberal heart he gives Amongst the sons of need; His memory to long ages lives, And blessed is his seed. 4 His lips abhor to talk profane, To slander or defraud; His ready tongue declares to men What he has learn'd of God. 5 The law and gospel of the Lord Deep in his heart abide; Led by the spirit and the word His feet shall never slide. 6 When sinners fall, the righteous stand, Preserv'd from every snare; They shall possess the promis'd land, And dwell forever there. Scripture: Psalm 37:16 Languages: English

Contentment and patience from the example of Christ

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXVII (1799) Topics: Contentment And patience First Line: By various maxims, forms, and rules 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 reduc'd to one; I keep my Lord by faith in view, Which 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 fight from guilt am freed; This fight 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; Satan I shame and overcome, By pointing to my Saviour's tomb. 6 Exalted on his glorious throne, I see him make my cause his own; Then all my anxious cares subside, For Jesus lives, and will provide.

Tell it, unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 4 See a bush, that burns with fire Unconsum'd amid the flame! Turn aside th' sight to admire, I the living wonder am. Tell it, unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 5 See a stone that hangs in air! See a spark in ocean live! Kept alive with death so near, I to God the glory give: Ever tell—to sinners tell, I am, I am out of hell. Languages: English
