Christ Withdrawn

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXXXIII (1791) Topics: Penitential Hymns First Line: O what shall I do to retrieve Lyrics: 1 O what shall I do to retrieve The Love for a Season bestow'd: 'Tis better to die than to live Exil'd from the Presence of God: With Sorrow distracted and Doubt, With palpable Horror opprest, The City I wander about, And seek my Repose in his Breast. 2 Ye Watchmen of Israel, declare If ye my beloved have seen, And point to that heav'nly fair, Surpassing the Children of Men: My Love and Lord from above, Who only can quiet my Pain, Whom only I languish to love, O where shall I find him again? 3 The Joy and Desire of mine Eyes, The End of my Sorrow and woe; My Hope, and my Heav'nly Prize, My Height of Ambition below: Once more if he shew me his Face, He never again shall depart, Detain'd in my closest Embrace, Conceal'd in the Depth of my Heart.

Esau

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXXXVI (1791) Topics: Penitential Hymns First Line: Poor Esau repented too late Lyrics: 1 Poor Esau repented too late, That once he his Birth-Right despis'd; And sold, for a Morsel of Meat, What could not too highly be priz'd: How great was his Anguish when told The Blessing he sought to obtain, Was gone with the Birth-Right he sold, And none could recall it again! 2 He stands as a Warning to all, Wherever the Gospel shall come: O hasten and yield to the Call, While yet for Repentance there's Room! Your Season will quickly be past, Then hear, and obey it to-day; Lest when you seek Mercy at last, The Saviour should frown you away. 3 What is it the World can propose? A Morsel of Meat at the best! For this are you willing to lose A share in the Joys of the Blest? Its Pleasures will speedily end, Its Favour and praise are but Breath: And what can its Profits befriend Your Soul in the Moment of Death? 4 If Jesus for these you despise, And Sin to the Saviour prefer, In vain your Entreaties and Cries, When summon'd to stand at his Bar: How will you his Presence abide? What Anguish will Torture your Heart? The Saints all enthron'd by his Side, And you be compell'd to depart! 5 Too often, Dear Saviour, have I Preferr'd some Poor Trifle to Thee; How is it thou dost not deny The Blessing and Birth-Right to me? No better than Esau I am, Tho' Pardon and Heaven be mine; To me belongs nothing but Shame, The Praise and the Glory be thine. Scripture: Genesis 24:31 Languages: English

For a sick Person

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCLIII (1791) Topics: Penitential Hymns First Line: See, gracious Lord, with pitying Eyes Lyrics: 1 See, gracious Lord, with pitying Eyes, Beneath thy hand a Sufferer lies, Thy Mercy, not thine Anger proves; And sick he is whom Jesus Loves. 2 His to thine own Afflictions join, Accept, exalt, and count them thine; Thy Passion which remains fulfill, And suffer in thy Members still. 3 His Sickness feel, endure his Pain, His Burden bear, his Cross sustain; Grieve in his Griefs, and sigh his Sighs, And breathe his Wishes to the Skies. 4 Enter his Heart, possess him whole, Inspire and actuate his Soul; Himself no longer let it be That suffers, or that lives but thee. 5 Thyself through Suff'rings Perfect made, Conform him thus to thee his Head; Refine, and raise his Virtue high'r, When tri'd and purified by Fire. 6 So when his Eyes behold thee near, And thou his hidden Life appear; Bright in thy Likeness shall he shine, And glorious All, and all Divine.

Still out of the deepest Abyss

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCLXIV (1791) Topics: Penitential Hymns Lyrics: 1 Still out of the deepest Abyss Of Trouble I mournfully cry, And pine to recover my Peace, And see my Redeemer and die. I cannot, I cannot forbear These Passionate Longings for Home; O when shall my Spirit be there? O when will the Messenger come? 2 Thy Nature I long to put on, Thine Image on Earth to regain, And then in the Grave to lay down My Burden of Body and Pain; O JESUS in pity draw near, And lull me to sleep on thy Breast; Appear, to my Rescue, appear And gather me into thy Rest. 3 To take a poor Fugitive in The Arm of thy Mercy display, And give me to rest from all Sin, And bear me triumphant away: Away from a World of Distress, Away to the Mansions above, A Heaven of seeing thy Face, A Heaven of feeling thy Love.

'Tis a Point I long to know

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXCVIII (1791) Topics: Penitential Hymns 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 his Name! 3 Could my Heart so hard remain, Pray'r a Task and Burden prove, Ev'ry 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 that 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 Ways I once abhorr'd, Find at Times, the promise Sweet, If I did not love the LORD? 8 LORD, decide this doubtful Case! Thou, who art the People's Sun; Since upon thy Work of Grace, If indeed it be 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.
