Tho' dead in sin I once had lain

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tho' dead in sin I once had lain, And void of life devine; I was by grace restor'd again, And Jesus now is mine. 2 His grace has made my soul alive, His graces from above, Cause me in faith and hope to thrive, And daily grow in love. 3 True holiness my heart desires, And holy I must be, A holy heart the Lord requires, His face in heav'n to see. 4 Tho' I had all my sins forgiv'n, But yet to vice a slave, And could possess the courts of heav'n, What comforts could I have? 5 Was I invited to a feast, And welcome to the place; Half naked, ragged, meanly dress'd, How could I show my face? 6 Such is the case with sinners too, Should they with angels dwell, Their just and holy God to view, Would prove to them a hell. 7 Grant me dear Lord thy spirit's pow'r, To make me pure in heart, Which makes me able to endure To see thee as thou art.

Lo! what a cloud of witnesses

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a cloud of witnesses Encompass us around! Men once like us with suffering tried, But now with glory crowned. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, Strive in the Christian race; And, freed from every weight of sin, Their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a Witness nobler still, Who trod affliction's path; Jesus, the author, finisher, Rewarder of our faith. 4 He, for the joy before him set, And moved by pitying love, Endured the cross, despised the shame, And now he reigns above. 5 Thither, forgetting things behind, Press we to God's right hand; There, with the Saviour and his saints, Triumphantly to stand. Amen. Topics: General; Zeal Used With Tune: [Lo! what a cloud of witnesses]

I thank Thee for both smile and frown, And for the gain and loss; I praise Thee for the future crown, And for the present cross. 4. I thank Thee for the wing of love, Which stirred my worldly nest; And for the stormy clouds which drove The flutterer to Thy breast. 5. I bless Thee for the glad increase, And for the waning joy; And for this strange, this settled peace, Which nothing can destroy. Used With Tune: BELMONT Text Sources: Lays of the Reformation, 1860

The common hopes that make us men Were His in Galilee; The tasks He gives are those He gave Beside the restless sea. 4. Our brotherhood still rests in Him, The Brother of us all, And through the centuries we hear The Master’s winsome call. Used With Tune: AZMON

Searcher of hearts, before Thy face

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Searcher of hearts, before Thy face I all my soul display, And, conscious of its innate arts, Entreat Thy strict survey. 2 If, lurking in its inmost folds, I any sin conceal, O let a ray of light divine The secret guile reveal! 3 If in these fatal fetters bound A wretched slave I lie: Smite off my chains, and wake my soul To light and liberty! 4 To humble penitence and prayer Be gentle pity given; Speak ample pardon to my heart, And seal its claim to heaven.
