Thou art my only trust; And still my soul would cleave to thee, Though prostrate in the dust. 5 [Hast thou not bid me seek thy face, And shall I seek in vain? And can the ear of sovereign grace Be deaf when I complain? 6 No; still the ear of sovereign grace Attends the mourner’s prayer; O may I ever find access To breathe my sorrows there!] 7 Thy mercy-seat is open still; Here let my soul retreat; With humble hope attend thy will, And wait beneath thy feet.

His chariot will not long delay; We hear the rumbling wheels, and pray, Triumphant Lord, appear! 3 Appear, and thy own flock protect, Avenge thy own despised elect, And make thy glory known. Gird on thy sword, thou King of kings, And smite through all inferior things That dare usurp thy throne. Languages: English

Where must a sinner fly

Author: Berridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #146 (1844) Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 Where must a sinner fly, Who feels his guilty load, And stands condemned to die, Out of the mouth of God? Can any door of hope be found? Not any sure, on nature’s ground. 2 What if he mend his life, And pour out floods of tears, And pray with fervent strife? These pay no past arrears. The law, with unrelenting breath, Declares the wage of sin is death. 3 [Who then shall reconcile Such jarring things as these? Say, how can Justice smile At Mercy on her knees? Or how can Mercy lift her head, Till all the legal debt is paid?] 4 Jesus, thy helping hand Has made the contest cease, Paid off each law demand, And bought the blest release; Stern Justice, satisfied by thee, Bids Mercy bring the news to me. 5 O tidings sweet of grace, To sinners lost and poor, Who humbly seek thy face, And knock at Mercy’s door; Who taste the peace thy blood imparts, And feel the Saviour in their hearts. 6 All hail! we bless thee now! Who bought us with thy blood! Our gracious Shepherd thou, To bring us home to God. On earth we sing thy bleeding love, And long to see thy face above. Languages: English

All in debt, or in distress

Author: Berridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #149 (1844) Meter: 8.8.6 Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 There is a Friend, who sticketh fast, And keeps his love from first to last, And Jesus is his name; An earthly brother drops his hold, Is sometimes hot and sometimes cold, But Jesus is the same. 2 He loves his people, great and small, And, grasping hard, embraces all, Nor with a soul will part; No tribulations which they feel, No foes on earth, or fiends of hell, Shall tear them from his heart. 3 His love before all time began, And through all time it will remain, And evermore endure; Though rods and frowns are sometimes brought, And man may change, he changes not; His love abideth sure. 4 [A method strange this Friend has shown, Of making love divinely known To rebels doomed to die; Unasked, he takes our humblest form, And condescends to be a worm, To lift us up on high.] 5 [The law demanded blood for blood, And out he lets his vital flood To pay the mortal debt; He toils through life, and pants through death, And cries, with his expiring breath, “’Tis finished,” and complete!] 6 [Let all the ransomed of the Lord Exalt his love with one accord, And hallelujah sing; Adore the dying Friend of man, And bless him highly as you can; He is your God and King.] Scripture: Proverbs 18:24 Languages: English

(Gadsby's Hymns) #150 (1844) Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: The sweet Lamb of God comes forth to be slain Lyrics: 1 The sweet Lamb of God comes forth to be slain, And offers his blood to purge off our stain; With bitterest anguish and groans on the tree, The Saviour did languish for sinners like me. 2 Look on him, my soul, and gaze on his smart; His cries may control the lusts of thy heart; His blood has set often the worst broken bones; His love too can soften hearts harder than stones. 3 [Right worthy indeed he is of high fame, And saints have all need to trust in his name; Not feed on their graces, nor strut with a frame, But fall on their faces, and worship the Lamb.] 4 Lo! here is a feast of delicate food, For prodigals dressed, yet costly and good. Our Father provided this Lamb for a treat; And if you are minded, you freely may eat. 5 None other repast my spirit would have; Thy flesh let me taste, sweet Lamb, and yet crave; Thy blood ever flowing my pleasant cup be; Thy fleece on earth growing make clothing for me. 6 Thus covered and fed at thy proper cost, Thy path I would tread which pleases my host. Thy patience inherit, thy lowliness prove, Catch all thy sweet Spirit, and burn with thy love. Languages: English
