I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow

Appears in 135 hymnals Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation ot Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow In Faith, and Love, and ev'ry Grace; Might more of his Salvation know, And seek more earnestly his Face. 2 'Twas he who taught me thus to pray; And he, I trust, has answer'd Pray'r: But it has been in such a Way As almost drove me to Despair. 3 I hop'd that in some favour'd Hour, At once he'd grant me my Request; And, by his Love's constraining Pow'r, Subdue my Sins, and give me Rest. 4 Instead of this, he made me feel The hidden Evils of my Heart, And let the angry Pow'rs of Hell Assault my soul in ev'ry Part. 5 Yea more, with his own Hand he seem'd Intent to agravate my Woe; Cross'd all the fair Designs I schem'd, Blasted my Gourds, and laid me low. 6 LORD, why is this? I trembling cry'd; Wilt thou pursue thy worm to Death? 'Tis in this Way, the LORD reply'd, I answer Pray'r for Grace and Faith. 7 These inward Trials I employ From Self and Pride to set thee free, To break thy Schemes of worldly Joy, That thou may'st seek thy All in Me.

Know, ye that are of Adam's race

Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Know, ye that are of Adams Race, That God hath call'd you by his Grace; And has proclaim'd his Gospel loud, For to give Warning to the Proud, 2 Ye youthful Virgins stop, and pause, And think upon your Sav'ours Laws; Let not your Life which God has lent, Alone in Vanity be spent. 3 Awake to Thought! ye tender Souls, And think, alas! we are but Fools, To Spend our Time, which ends in Strife, And lose this glorious Scene of Life. 4 Your Life to God must be resign'd; Your Mind in Jesus be confin'd; For Word and Action must agree, If Jesus Christ shall set you free. 5 That Servant Form you must put on, And think that Christ's before me gone, He is the Way, the Truth, and Life, Therefore forsake this World of Strife.

Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieves

Author: L. E. A. Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: Bible Songs Invitation Lyrics: 1 Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieves O'er years of wasted life; O'er sins indulged while conscience slept, O'er vows and promises unkept, And reaps from years of strife Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! 2 Nothing but leaves! No gathered sheaves, Of life's fair ripening grain: We sow our seeds; lo! tares and weeds, Words, idle words, for earnest deeds, Then reap, with toil and pain, Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! 3 Nothing but leaves! Sad memory weaves No vail to hide the past; And as we trace our weary way, And count each lost and misspent day, We sadly find at last Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! 4 Ah, who shall thus the Master meet And bring but withered leaves? Ah, who shall at the Saviour's feet, Before the awful judgment seat Lay down for golden sheaves, Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! Scripture: Mark 11:13 Used With Tune: NOTHING BUT LEAVES
