Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me

Author: Augustus M. Toplady, 1740-78 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,903 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 36:25 Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure: Cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r. 2 Not the labors of my hands Can fulfill Thy Law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring; Simply to Thy cross I cling. Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.

"Behold he prays"

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 849 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 36:37 First Line: Prayer is the soul's sincere desire Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air: His watchword at the gates of death-- He enters heaven with prayer. 5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways; While angels in their songs rejoice, And cry--"Behold he prays!" 6 O thou, by whom we come to God-- The Life, the Truth, the Way; The path of prayer thyself hast trod; Lord! teach us how to pray.

O for a glance of heav'nly day

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 280 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 36:26 Lyrics: 1 O for a glance of heav'nly day, To take this stubborn heart away; And thaw with beams of love divine This heart, this frozen heart of mine! 2 The rocks can rend; the earth can quake; The seas can roar; the mountains shake; Of feeling all things show some sign, But this unfeeling heart of mine. 3 To hear the sorrows thou hast felt, O Lord, an adamant would melt; but I can read each moving line, And nothing moves this heart of mine. 4 Thy judgments too, unmov'd I hear, (Amazing thought!) which devils fear, Goodness and wrath in vain combine, To stir this stupid heart of mine. 5 Eternal Spirit! mighty God! Apply to me the Saviour's blood 'Tis his rich blood and his alone, Can move and melt this heart of stone.

How helpless fallen nature lies

Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 231 hymnals Scripture: Ezekiel 36:26 Lyrics: 1 How helpless fallen nature lies, Unconscious of her load! The heart unchanged can never rise To happiness and God. 2 Can aught beneath a power divine A stubborn will subdue? 'Tis thine, eternal Spirit, thine To form the heart anew. 3 'Tis thine the passions to recall, And bid them upward rise; To make the scales of error fall From reason's darkened eyes;-- 4 To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live: A beam of heaven, a vital ray, 'Tis thine alone to give. 5 Renew these wretched hearts of ours; Oh, give us life divine! Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord, be thine. Topics: The Christian System Human Depravity; Need of Spiritual Renovation
