Master, I own thy lawful claim
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #416 (1873) Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith Lyrics: 1 Master, I own thy lawful claim;
Thine, wholly thine I long to be;
Thou seest, at last, I willing am,
Where'er thou go'st, to follow thee,
Myself in all things to deny,
Thine, wholly thine, to live and die.
2 Whate'er my sinful flesh requires,
For thee I cheerfully forego,
My covetous and vain desires,
My hopes of happiness below,
My senses' and my passions' food,
And all my thirst for creature good.
3 Pleasure and wealth and praise no more
Shall lead my captive soul astray;
My fond pursuits I all give o'er,
Thee, only thee, resolved t' obey;
My own in all things to resign,
And know no other will but thine.
Master, I own thy lawful claim
O Thou, whose tender mercy hears
Author: Mrs. Steele Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #418 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith Lyrics: 1 O Thou, whose tender mercy hears
Contrition's humble sigh;
Whose hand, indulgent, wipes the tears
From sorrow's weeping eye--
2 See, low before thy throne of grace
A wretched wanderer mourn;
Hast thou not bid me seek thy face?
Hast thou not said, Return?
3 And shall my guilty fears prevail
To drive me from thy feet?
Oh, let not this dear refuge fail,
This only safe retreat!
4 Absent from thee, my Guide, my Light,
Without one cheering ray,
Through dangers, fears, and gloomy night,
How desolate my way!
5 Oh, shine on this benighted heart,
With beams of mercy shine!
And let thy healing voice impart
A taste of joys divine. Scripture: Jeremiah 3:22
O Thou, whose tender mercy hears
Before thy cross lamenting
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #427 (1873) Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith Lyrics: 1 Before thy cross lamenting,
My Saviour, I would lie,
Of all my sins repenting,
That caused my Lord to die.
My soul with tears of anguish
Her follies would confess;
Oh, while in pain I languish,
Restore me by thy grace.
Before thy cross lamenting
Wilt thou not to me reveal
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #431 (1873) Topics: The Christian System Justification By Faith Lyrics: 1 Wilt thou not to me reveal
Thy new, unutterable name?
Tell me, I still beseech thee, tell?
To know it now resolved I am:
Wrestling, I will not let thee go,
Till I thy name, thy nature know.
2 What though my shrinking flesh complain,
And murmur to contend so long?
I rise superior to my pain:
When I am weak, then I am strong!
And when my all of strength shall fail,
I shall with the God-man prevail.
3 My strength is gone, my nature dies;
I sink beneath thy mighty hand;
Faint to revive--and fall to rise;
I fall, and yet by faith I stand:
I stand, and will not let thee go,
Till I thy name and nature know.
Wilt thou not to me reveal
Oh, gift of gifts! oh, grace of faith!
Author: Faber Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #438 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian System Justification By Faith Lyrics: 1 Oh, gift of gifts! oh, grace of faith!
My God, how can it be
That thou, who hast discerning love,
Shouldst give that gift to me?
2 There was a place, there was a time,
Whether by night or day,
Thy Spirit came, and left that gift,
And went upon his way.
3 How many hearts thou might'st have had,
More innocent than mine!
How many souls more worthy far
Of that sweet touch of mine.
4 Oh, happy, happy that I am!
If thou canst be, O faith,
The treasure that thou art in life,
What wilt thou be in death?
5 This choice, O God of goodness, then,
I lovingly adore;
Oh, give me grace to keep thy grace,
And grace to merit more. Scripture: Genesis 32:10
Oh, gift of gifts! oh, grace of faith!
Oh, could I find, from day to day
Author: Cleveland Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #446 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification Lyrics: 1 Oh, could I find, from day to day,
A nearness to my God,
Then would my hours glide sweet away,
While leaning on his word.
2 Lord, I desire with thee to live
Anew from day to day,
In joys the world can never give,
Nor ever take away.
3 Blest Jesus, come and rule my heart
And make me wholly thine,
That I may never more depart,
Nor grieve thy love divine.
4 Thus, till my last, expiring breath,
Thy goodness I'll adore;
And when my frame dissolves in death,
My soul shall love thee more.
Scripture: Psalm 42:1-2
Oh, could I find, from day to day
Forever here my rest shall be
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #451 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification Lyrics: 1 Forever here my rest shall be,
Close to thy bleeding side;
This all my hope, and all my plea--
For me the Saviour died.
2 My dying Saviour, and my God,
Fountain for guilt and sin,
Sprinkle me ever with thy blood,
And cleanse and keep me clean.
3 Wash me, and make me thus thine own;
Wash me, and mine thou art;
Wash me, but not my feet alone--
My hands, my head, my heart.
4 Th' atonement of thy blood apply,
Till faith to sight improve;
Till hope in full fruition die,
And all my soul be love. Scripture: John 13:9
Forever here my rest shall be
Love divine, all love excelling
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #452 (1873) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down,
Fix in us thy humble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown;
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love thou art;
Visit us with thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart.
2 Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all thy life receive;
Suddenly return, and never,
Never more thy temples leave:
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve thee as thy hosts above,
Pray and praise thee without ceasing,
Glory in thy perfect love.
3 Finish then thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see thy great salvation,
Perfectly restored in thee--
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Scripture: Malachi 3:1
Love divine, all love excelling
My God, my Father, blissful name!
Author: Mrs. Steele Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #467 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification Lyrics: 1 My God, my Father, blissful name!
Oh, may I call thee mine?
May I with sweet assurance claim
A portion so divine?
2 This only can my fears control,
And bid my sorrows fly:
What harm can ever reach my soul,
Beneath my Father's eye?
3 Whate'er thy providence denies,
I cheerfully resign;
Lord, thou art good and just and wise,
I yield my will to thine.
4 Whate'er thy sacred will ordains,
Still give me strength to bear:
Let me but know my Father reigns,
I'll trust his tender care. Scripture: Psalm 37:5
My God, my Father, blissful name!
Lord, we are vile, conceived in sin
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #359 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian System Human Depravity Lyrics: 1 LORD, we are vile, conceived in sin,
And born unholy and unclean;
Sprung from the man whose guilty fall
Corrupts his race, and taints us all.
2 Soon as we draw our infant breath
The seeds of sin grow up for death;
Thy law demands a perfect heart,
But we're defiled in every part.
3 Behold, we fall before thy face;
Our only refuge is thy grace:
No outward forms can make us clean;
The leprosy lies deep within.
4 No bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast,
No hyssop branch, nor sprinkling priest,
Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea,
Can wash the dismal stain away.
5 Jesus, thy blood, thy blood alone.
Hath power sufficient to atone;
Thy blood can make us white as snow;
No Jewish types could cleanse us so.
6 While guilt disturbs and breaks our peace,
Nor flesh nor soul hath rest or ease;
Lord, let us hear thy pard'ning voice,
And make these broken hearts rejoice.
Scripture: Job 14:4
Lord, we are vile, conceived in sin
