He behold the city and wept over it

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXLIII (1799) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Did Christ o'er sinners weep? Lyrics: 1 Did Christ o'er sinners weep? And shall our cheeks be dry? Let floods of penitential grief Burst forth from every eye. 2 The son of God in tears Angels with wonder see! Be thou astonish'd, O my soul, He shed those tears for thee. 3 He wept, that we might weep; Each sin demands a tear; In heav'n alone no sin is found, And there's no weeping there. 4 Joy beams in ev'ry eye, And fills each holy heart; All join to sound the triumph high In praise to bear their part.

Strength from a view of the Cross

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXXX (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When I the blest Redeemer see Lyrics: 1 When I the blest Redeemer see All bleeding on th' accursed tree; Satan and sin no more can move, For I am all transform'd to love. 2 His thorns and nails, pierce thro' my heart, In ev'ry groan I bear a part; I view his wounds with streaming eyes, But see! he bows his head and dies! 3 Come, sinners, view the Lamb of God, Wounded and dead, and bath'd in blood! Behold his side, and venture near, The spring of endless life is here. 4 Here I forget my cares and pains; I drink, yet still my thirst remains; Only the fountain-head above, Can satisfy the thirst with love. 6 Oh, that I thus could always fee! Lord, more and more thy love reveal! Then my glad tongue shall loud proclaim The grace and glory of thy name. 6 Thy name dispels my guilt and fear, Revives my heart, and charms my ear; Affords a balm for ev'ry wound, Then I with love thy praise resound.

With one reviving touch of thine, Our languid hearts inflame. 4 Then shall, on faith's sublimest wing, Our ardent wishes rise To those bright scenes, where pleasures spring Immortal in the skies.

See, the creation wrapt in flames, First kindled by his vengeful eye! 2 when thus the mountains melt like wax; When earth, and air, and sea, shall burn: When all the frame of nature shakes; Poor sinner, whither wilt thou turn? 3 The puny works which feeble men Now boast, or covet, or admire; Their pomp, and arts, and treasures, then Shall perish in one common fire. 4 Lord, fix our hearts and hopes above! Since all below to ruin tends; Here may we trust, obey and love, And there be found amongst thy friends. Languages: English
