Gracious Lord, incline thine Ear

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #XCII (1791) Topics: liturgical Confession Songs Lyrics: 1 Gracious Lord, incline thine Ear, My Complaint vouchsafe to hear; Sore distrest with Guilt am I, Give me Christ, or else I die. 2 Wealth and Honour I disdain, Earthly Comforts all are vain; Then can never satisfy, Give me Christ, or else I die. 3 Lord deny me what thou wilt, Only take away my Guilt; Mourning at thy Feet I lie; Give me Christ, or else I die, 4 All Unholy and Unclean, I am sinful, vile and mean; But to Thee for Mercy fly, Give me Christ, or else I die. 5 Thou dost freely save the Lost; In thy Grace alone I Trust: Unto Thee I lift my Cry, Give me Christ, or else I die. 6 O my God, what shall I say? Take, oh take my Sins away! Jesu's Blood to me apply, Give me Christ, or else I die. Languages: English

I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXIX (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response 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.

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXLVIII (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response 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.

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXXIII (1791) Topics: liturgical Confession Songs Lyrics: 1 O Lord! to whom for Help I call, Thy Miracles repeat; With pitying Eye behold me fall A Leper at thy Feet. 2 Loathsome, and foul, and self abhorr'd, I sink beneath my Sin; But, if thou wilt, a gracious Word Of thine, can make me clean. 3 Thou seest me Deaf to thy Commands, Open O Lord! mine Ear; Bid me stretch out my wither'd Hands, And lift them up in Pray'r. 4 Silent (alas! thou know'st ho long!) My Voice I cannot raise; But O! when thou shalt loose my Tongue, The Dumb shall sing thy Praise. 5 Lame at the Pool I still am found, Give, and my Strength employ; Light as an Hart I then shall bound, The Lame shall leap for Joy. 6 Blind from my Birth to guilt and Thee, And dark I am within; The Love of God I cannot see, Nor Sinfulness of Sin. 7 But thou, they say, art passing by, O let me find Thee near! Jesus, in Mercy hear my Cry, Thou Son of David, hear! 8 Long have I waited in the Way, For Thee, the heav'nly Light; Command me to be brought, and say, "Sinner, receive thy Sight."

Get thyself the Victory, Save the vilest of the Race, Force me to be sav'd by Grace. Languages: English

Sin and Sorrows laid before God

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXXVII (1791) Topics: liturgical Confession Songs First Line: O that I knew the secret Place Lyrics: 1 O that I knew the secret Place Where I might find my God! I'd spread my Wants before his Face, And pour my Woes abroad. 2 I'd tell him how my Sins arise, What Sorrows I sustain, How Grace decays, and Comfort dies, And leaves my Heart in Pain: 3 I'd say how Flesh and Sense rebel, What inward Foes combine, With this vain World and Pow'rs of Hell, To vex this Heart of mine. 4 He knows what Arguments I'd take To wrestle with my God: I'd plead for his won Mercy's sake, And for my Saviour's Blood. 5 My God will pity my Complaints, And heal my broken Bones; He takes the Meaning of his Saints, The Language of their Groans. 6 Arise my Soul from deep Distress, And banish ev'ry Fear; He calls thee to his Throne of Grace, To spread thy Sorrows there.
