Thy chastening wrath, O Lord, restrain

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #51 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy chastening wrath, O Lord, restrain, Though I deserve it all; Nor let on me the heavy storm Of Thy displeasure fall. 2 My sins, which to a deluge swell, My sinking head o'er flow, And, for my feeble strength to bear, Too vast a burden grow. 3 But, Lord, before Thy searching eyes All my desires apper; The groanings of my burden'd soul Have reach'd Thine open ear. 4 Forsake me not, O Lord, my God, Nor far from me depart: Make hast to my relief, O Thou Who my salvation art.

Thou, Lord, by strictest search hast known

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #52 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, by strictest search hast known My rising up and lying down; My secret thoughts are known to Thee, Known long before conceived by me. 2 From Thy all-seeing Spirit, Lord, What hiding-place does earth afford? O where can I Thy influence shun, Or whither from Thy presence run? 3 The veil of night is no disguise, No screen from thy all-searching eyes; Through midnight shades Thou find'st thy way, As in the blazing noon of day. 4 Search, try, O God, my thoughts and heart, If mischief lurk in any part; Correct me where I go astray, And guide me in Thy perfect way.

Saviour, when in dust to Thee

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #53 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when in dust to Thee, Low we bow th'adoring knee; When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our weeping eyes; O, by all Thy pains and woe Suffer'd once for man below, Bending from Thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany. 2 By Thy birth and early years, By Thy human griefs and fears, By Thy fasting and distress In the lonely wilderness, By Thy victory in the hour Of the subtle tempter's power; Jesus, look with pitying eye; Hear our solemn litany. 3 By Thy conflict with despair, By Thine agony of prayer, By the purple robe of scorn, By Thy wounds, Thy crown of thorn, By Thy cross, Thy pangs, and cries, By Thy perfect sacrifice; Jesus, look with pitying eye; Hear our solemn litany. 4 By Thy deep expiring groan, By the seal'd sepulchral stone, By Thy triumph o'er the grave By Thy power from death to save; Mighty God, ascended Lord, To Thy throne in heaven restored, Prince and Saviour, hear our cry, Hear our solemn litany. Amen. Languages: English

Sinners! turn, why will ye die?

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #54 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Sinners! turn, why will ye die? God, your Maker, asks you why: God, Who did your being give, Made you with Himself to live: He the fatal cause demands, Asks the works of His own hands: Why, ye thankless creatures! why Will ye cross His love, and die? 2 Sinners! turn, why will ye die? God, your Saviour, asks you why: God Who did your souls retrieve, That ye might for ever live. Will you let Him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, ye ransomed sinners, why, Will you slight His grace, and die? 3 Sinners! turn, why will ye die? God, the Spirit, asks you why: He Who all your lives hath strove, Wooed you to embrace His love. Will ye not His grace receive? Will ye still refuse to live? Why, ye long-sought sinners, why Will ye grieve your God, and die? Languages: English

My soul with patience waits

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #55 (1871) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My soul with patience waits For Thee, the living Lord; My hopes are on Thy promise built, Thy never-failing word. 2 My longing eyes look out For Thy enlivening ray, More duly than the morning watch To spy the dawning day. 3 Let Israel trust in God, No bounds His mercy knows; The plenteous source and spring from whence Eternal succour flows; 4 Whose friendly streams to us Supplies in want convey; A healing spring, a spring to cleanse And wash our guilt away.

How oft, alas! this wretched heart

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #56 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How oft, alas! this wretched heart Has wandered from the Lord! How oft my roving thoughts depart, Forgetful of His word! 2 Yet sovereign mercy calls, "Return;" Dear Lord, and may I come? My vile ingratitude I mourn; O take the wanderer home. 3 And canst Thou, wilt Thou yet forgive, And bid my crimes remove? And shall a pardon'd rebel live To speak Thy wondrous love? 4 Almighty grace, Thy healing power, How glorious, how divine! That can to life and bliss restore So vile a heart as mine. 5 Thy pardoning love, so free, so sweet, Dear Saviour, I adore: O keep me at Thy sacred feet, And let me rove no more. Languages: English

My God, permit me not to be

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #57 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 My God, permit me not to be A stranger to myself and Thee: Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove, Forgetful of my highest love. 2 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth? Why should I cleave to things below, And all my purest joys forego? 3 Call me away from flesh and sense; Thy grace, O Lord, can draw me thence: I would obey the voice divine, And all inferior joys resign.

Hasten, sinner! to be wise

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #58 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Hasten, sinner! to be wise; Stay not for the morrow's sun: Wisdom, if you still despise, Harder is it to be won. 2 Hasten, mercy to implore; Stay not for the morrow's sun; Lest thy season should be o'er, Ere this evening's stage be run. 3 Hasten, sinner! now return; Stay not for the morrow's sun; Lest thy lamp should cease to burn, Ere salvation's work is done. 4 Hasten, sinner! to be blest; Stay not for the morning's sun; Lest perdition thee arrest, Ere the morrow is begun.

Sinner, rouse thee from thy sleep

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #59 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Sinner, rouse thee from thy sleep, Wake, and o'er thy folly weep; Raise thy spirit dark and dead, Jesus waits His light to shed. 2 Wake from sleep, arise from death, See the bright and living path; Watchful tread that path; be wise, Leave thy folly, seek the skies. 3 Leave thy folly, cease from crime, From this hour redeem thy time; Life secure without delay, Evil is the mortal day. 4 Be not blind and foolish still; Call'd of Jesus, learn His will: Jesus calls from death and night, Jesus waits to shed His light.

Have mercy, Lord, on me

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #60 (1871) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Have mercy, Lord, on me, As Thou wert ever kind; Let me, oppress'd with loads of guilt, Thy wonted mercy find. 2 Wash off my foul offence, And cleanse me from my sin; For I confess my crime, and see How great my guilt has been. 3 Against Thee, Lord, alone, And only in Thy sight, Have I transgressed; and, though condemn'd Must own Thy judgment right. 4 Blot out my crying sins, Nor me in anger view; Create in me a heart that's clean, An upright mind renew. 5 Withdraw not Thou Thy help, Nor cast me from Thy sight; Nor let Thy Holy Spirit take His everlasting flight. 6 The joy Thy favour gives Let me, O Lord, regain; And Thy free Spirit's firm support My fainting soul sustain.
