No Trust in the Creatures; or Faith in divine Grace and Power
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #268 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: My spirit looks to God alone Lyrics: 1 My spirit looks to God alone;
My rock and refuge is his throne;
In all my fears, in all my straits,
My soul on his salvation waits.
2 Trust him, ye saints, in all your ways,
Pour out your hearts before his face:
When helpers fail, and foes invade,
God is our all-sufficient aid.
3 False are the men of high degree,
The baser sort are vanity;
Laid in the balance, both appear
Light as a puff of empty air.
4 Make not increasing gold your trust,
Nor set your hearts on glittering dust;
Why will you grasp the fleeting smoke,
And not believe what God hath spoke?
5 Once has his awful voice declared,
Once and again my ears have heard,
"All power is his eternal due:
He must be fear'd and trusted too."
6 For sovereign power reigns not alone,
Grace is a partner of the throne:
Thy grace and justice, mighty Lord,
Shall well divide our last reward. Languages: English

Glorying in God alone
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #271 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: The righteous Lord, supremely great Lyrics: 1 The righteous Lord, supremely great,
Maintains his universal state;
O'er all the earth his pow'r extends,
All heav'n before his footstool bends.
2 Yet justice still with pow'r presides,
And mercy all his empire guides;
Such works are pleasing in his sight,
And such the men of his delight.
3 No more, ye wise, your wisdom boast;
No more, ye strong, your valor trust;
Nor let the rich survey their store,
Replete with heaps of shining ore.
4 Glory, my soul, in this alone,
That God, thy God, to thee is known;
That thou hast own'd his sov'reign sway,
That thou hast felt his cheering ray.
5 My wisdom, wealth, and pow'r I find
In one Jehovah all combin'd.
On him I fix my roving eyes,
Till all thy soul in rapture rise.
6 All else which I my treasure call,
May in one fatal moment fall:
But what his happiness can move,
Whom God the blessed deigns to love? Scripture: Jeremiah 9:23-24 Languages: English
Glorying in God alone
Humility
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #276 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: Wherefore should man, frail child of clay Lyrics: 1 Wherefore should man, frail child of clay
Who, from the cradle to the shroud,
Lives but the insect of a day,--
O why should mortal man be proud?
2 His brightest visions just appear,
Then vanish, and no ore are found:
The stateliest pile his pride can rear,
A breath may level with the ground.
3 By doubts perplex'd, in error lost,
With trembling step he seeks his way:
How vain of wisdom's gift the boast!
Of reason's lamp how faint the ray!
4 Follies and crimes, a countless sum,
Are crowded in life's little span:
How ill, alas, does pride become
That erring, guilty creature, man!
5 God of my life! Father divine!
Give me a meek and lowly mind;
In modest worth O let me shine,
And peace in humble virtue find. Languages: English
Humility
Fruits of Love
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #277 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: Let Pharisees of high esteem Lyrics: 1 Let Pharisees of high esteem
Their faith and zeal declare:
All their religion is a dream,
If love be wanting there.
2 Love suffers long with patient eye,
Nor is provok'd in haste;
She lets the present inj'ry die,
And long forgets the past.
3 Malice and rage, those fires of hell,
She quenches with her tongue;
Hopes and believes and thinks no ill,
Tho' she endure the wrong.
4 She ne'er desires nor seeks to know
The scandals of the time;
Nor looks with pride on those below,
Nor envies those that climb.
5 She lays her own advantage by,
To seek her neighbor's good;
So God's own Son came down to die,
And save us by his blood.
6 Love is the grace that keeps her pow'r
In all the realms above;
There faith and hope are known no more,
But saints forever love.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13 Languages: English

Love to the Brethren
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #278 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: Blest be the tie, that binds Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie, that binds
Our hearts in Christian love!
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
2 Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent pray'rs;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain:
But we shall still be join'd in heart,
And hope to meet again.
5 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin, we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity. Languages: English
Love to the Brethren
Forsake, my soul! the tents of sin
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #284 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces Lyrics: 1 Forsake, my soul! the tents of sin,
How false her joys appear!
Noise and confusion dwell within;
Peace is a stranger there.
2 The men, who keep the laws of God,
His choicest blessings share;
Or, if he lifts his chast'ning rod,
'Tis with a Father's care.
3 His mighty pow'r shall guard the just;
His wisdom point their way;
His eye shall watch their sleeping dust;
His hand revive their clay.
4 Begin, ye saints, the joyful task;
His praise employ your tongue;
And soon eternity will ask
A more exalted song.

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #286 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: So let our lips and lives express Lyrics: 1 So let our lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess;
So let our works and virtues shine,
To prove the doctrine all divine!
2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The honors of our Savior God,
When the salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the pow'r of sin.
3 Our flesh and sense must be deny'd,
Passion and envy, lust and pride;
While justice, temp'rance, truth, and love,
Our inward piety approve.
4 Religion bears our spirits up,
While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on his word. Languages: English

Behold he prayeth
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #249 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: Pray'r is the soul's sincere desire Lyrics: 1 Pray'r is the soul's sincere desire,
Utter'd or unexpress'd,
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
2 Pray'r is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear;
The upward glancing of an eye,
When none but God is near.
3 Pray'r is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try;
Pray'r the sublimest strains that reach
The majesty on high.
4 Pray'r is the christian's vital breath,
The christian's native air,
His watchword at the gate of death--
He enters heav'n with pray'r.
5 Pray'r is the contrite sinners' voice
Returning from his ways,
While angels in their songs rejoice
And say,--"Behold he prays." Scripture: Acts 9:11 Languages: English
Behold he prayeth
Jesus the Anchor of the Soul
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #269 (1845) Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: Now I have found the ground wherein Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein
Sure my soul’s anchor may remain:
The love of God forgiving sin,
Through Jesus crucified and slain.
His mercy shall unshaken stay,
When heav'n and earth have pass'd away.
2 Father! thine everlasting grace
Our scanty thought surpasses far;
Thine heart still melts with tenderness,
Thine arms of love still open are;
And Jesus' blood, through earth and skies,
Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries.
3 Tho' waves and storms go o’er my head,
Tho' strength and health and friends be gone,
Tho' joys be wither'd all and dead,
Tho' every comfort be withdrawn:
On this my steadfast soul relies,
Father, thy mercy never dies.
4 Fix'd on this ground will I remain,
Tho' my heart fail and flesh decay,
This anchor shall my soul sustain,
When earth’s foundations melt away,
Mercy’s full pow'r I then shall prove,
Lov'd with an everlasting love. Languages: English

Love the chief of Graces
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #281 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces First Line: Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews Lyrics: 1 Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews,
And nobler speech than angels use;
If love be absent, I am found,
Like tinkling brass, an empty sound.
2 Were I inspir'd to preach and tell
All that is done in heav'n and hell,
Or could my faith the world remove,
Still I am nothing without love.
3 Should I distribute all my store,
To feed the bowels of the poor;
Or give my body to the flame,
To gain a martyr's glorious name:
4 If love to God, and love to men
Be absent, all my hopes are vain;
Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal
The work of love can e'er fulfill. Languages: English
Love the chief of Graces
