If Jesus kindly say

Author: Berridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Joy Lyrics: 1 If Jesus kindly say, And with a whispering word, “Arise, my love, and come away,” I run to meet my Lord. 2 My soul is in my ears; My heart is all on flame; My eyes are sweetly drowned in tears, And melted is my frame. 3 My raptured soul will rise, And give a cheerful spring, And dart through all the lofty skies, To visit Zion’s King. 4 He meets me with a kiss, And with a smiling face; I taste the dear, enchanting bliss, And wonder at his grace. 5 The world now drops its charms; My idols all depart; Soon as I reach my Saviour’s arms, I give him all my heart. 6 A soft and tender sigh Now heaves my hallowed breast; I long to lay me down and die, And find eternal rest. Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:13

"We walk by faith, not by sight"

Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Faith First Line: Why should a pilgrim grope within Lyrics: 1 Why should a pilgrim grope within, And judge by what he feels? A loathsome stench of death and sin No consolation yields. 2 Corruptions, base and foul as hell, May vex and tease the soul; But Jesus’ blood its rage can quell, And make the conscience whole. 3 I have no life, no light, no love, No truth or righteousness, That God, my Father, can approve, Or justice can caress, 4 But what I have in Christ, my Head, And grace on me bestows; My life with Christ in God is hid, And he’ll redress my woes. 5 In this dear Christ I all things have; Why should I yield to fear? All that a living soul can crave, Is richly treasured here. 6 In him I stand completely just; His heart is my abode; Though in myself, at best, but dust, In him I’ve power with God.

From whence this fear and unbelief?

Author: Toplady Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Faith Lyrics: 1 From whence this fear and unbelief? Hast thou, O Father, put to grief Thy spotless Son for me? And will the righteous Judge of men Condemn me for that debt of sin Which, Lord, was charged on thee? 2 Complete atonement thou hast made, And to the utmost farthing paid Whate’er thy people owed; How then can wrath on me take place, If sheltered in thy righteousness, And sprinkled with thy blood? 3 [If thou hast my discharge procured, And freely in my room endured The whole of wrath divine, Payment God cannot twice demand, First at my bleeding Surety’s hand, And then again at mine.] 4 Turn, then, my soul, unto thy rest; The merits of thy great High Priest Speak peace and liberty; Trust in his efficacious blood, Nor fear thy banishment from God, Since Jesus died for thee. Scripture: Isaiah 53:10

In all our worst afflictions

Author: Hart Meter: 7.4 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Faith Lyrics: 1 In all our worst afflictions, When furious foes surround us; When troubles vex, and fears perplex, And Satan would confound us; When foes to God and goodness, We find ourselves, by feeling, To do what’s right unable quite, And almost as unwilling; 2 When, like the restless ocean, Our hearts cast up uncleanness, Flood after flood, with mire and mud, And all is foul within us; When love is cold and languid, And different passions shake us; When hope decays, and God delays, And seems to quite forsake us; 3 Then to maintain the battle With soldier-like behaviour; To keep the field, and never yield, But firmly eye the Saviour; To trust his gracious promise, Thus hard beset with evil, This, this is faith will conquer death, And overcome the devil.

Great High Priest, we view thee stooping

Appears in 55 hymnals Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Repentance Lyrics: 1 Great High Priest, we view thee stooping With our names upon thy breast; In the garden groaning, drooping To the ground, with horrors pressed; Wondering angels stood confounded To behold their Maker thus; And can we remain unwounded, When we know ’twas all for us? 2 On the cross thy body broken Cancels every penal tie; Tempted souls produce this token, All demands to satisfy. All is finished; do not doubt it; But believe your dying Lord, Never reason more about it, Only take him at his word. 3 Lord, we fain would trust thee solely; ’Twas for us thy blood was spilt; Bruisèd Bridegroom, take us wholly, Take and make us what thou wilt. Thou hast borne the bitter sentence Passed on man’s devoted race; True belief and true repentance Are thy gifts, thou God of grace.

Repentance

Author: Fawcett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Repentance First Line: With melting heart, and weeping eyes Lyrics: 1 With melting heart and weeping eyes, My guilty soul for mercy cries; What shall I do, or whither flee, To escape the vengeance due to me? 2 Till late, I saw no danger nigh; I lived at ease, nor feared to die; Wrapped up in self-conceit and pride, “I shall have peace at last,” I cried. 3 But when, great God, thy light divine Had shone on this dark soul of mine, Then I beheld, with trembling awe, The terrors of thy holy law. 4 How dreadful now my guilt appears, In childhood, youth, and growing years; Before thy pure discerning eye, Lord, what a filthy wretch am I! 5 Should vengeance still my soul pursue, Death and destruction are my due; Yet mercy can my guilt forgive, And bid a dying sinner live. 6 Does not thy sacred word proclaim Salvation free in Jesus’ name? To him I look, and humbly cry, “O save a wretch condemned to die!”

"Blessed are they that mourn"

Author: Medley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Humility First Line: Jesus, the glorious Head of grace Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the glorious Head of grace, Knows every saint’s peculiar case; What sorrows by their souls are borne, And how for sin they daily mourn. 2 He knows how deep their groanings are, And what their secret sighs declare; And, for their comfort, has expressed That all such mourning souls are blessed. 3 They’re blessed on earth, for ’tis by grace They see and know their mournful case; Blest mourners! they shall shortly rise To endless comfort in the skies. 4 There all their mourning days shall cease, And they be filled with joy and peace; Comforts eternal they shall prove, And dwell for ever in his love. 5 [Dear Lord, may I a mourner be, Over my sins and after thee; And when my mourning days are o’er, Enjoy thy comforts evermore.]

Now shall my inward joys arise

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Joy Lyrics: 1 Now shall my inward joys arise, And burst into a song; Almighty love inspires my heart, And pleasure tunes my tongue. 2 God on his thirsty Zion-hill Some mercy-drops has thrown, And solemn oaths have bound his love To shower salvation down. 3 Why do we, then, indulge our fears, Suspicions, and complaints? Is he a God, and shall his grace Grow weary of his saints? 4 Can a kind woman e’er forget The infant of her womb? And ’mongst a thousand tender thoughts, Her suckling have no room? 5 Yet, says the Lord, should nature change, And mothers monsters prove, Zion still dwells upon the heart Of everlasting love. Scripture: Isaiah 49:13-16

"Walk in love"

Author: W. Gadsby Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Love First Line: Lord, we fain would walk in love Lyrics: 1 Lord, we fain would walk in love, But, alas! how slow we move; Pride, that haughty monster, pride, Often makes us start aside. 2 Lamb of God, thy power make known; Sweetly draw, and we will run; Make our love to thee and thine Like the sun at noon-day shine. 3 As the purchase of thy blood, May we seek each other’s good; And be it our great concern, Thee to view, of thee to learn. 4 May we mourn with those that mourn; Make each other’s cause our own; Ever keeping this in mind, We are to each other joined. 5 Flesh of flesh, and bone of bone, With the King of glory one; Of one body each a part, Jesus, make us one in heart. 6 King of kings, enthroned above, Come and shed abroad thy love; Fill us with that source of joy, Which can never, never cloy.

Begone, unbelief, my Saviour is near

Author: Newton Appears in 258 hymnals Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Faith Lyrics: 1 Begone, unbelief, my Saviour is near, And for my relief will surely appear; By prayer let me wrestle, and he will perform; With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. 2 Though dark be my way, since he is my Guide, ’Tis mine to obey, ’tis his to provide; Though cisterns be broken, and creatures all fail, The word he has spoken shall surely prevail. 3 His love in time past forbids me to think He’ll leave me at last in trouble to sink; Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review Confirms his good pleasure to help me quite through. 4 Determined to save, he watched o’er my path, When, Satan’s blind slave, I sported with death. And can he have taught me to trust in his name, And thus far have brought me to put me to shame? 5 [Why should I complain of want or distress, Temptation or pain? He told me no less; The heirs of salvation, I know from his word, Through much tribulation must follow their Lord. 6 How bitter that cup, no heart can conceive, Which he drank quite up that sinners might live! His way was much rougher and darker than mine; Did Christ, my Lord, suffer, and shall I repine?] 7 Since all that I meet shall work for my good, The bitter is sweet, the medicine is food; Though painful at present, ’twill cease before long, And then O how pleasant the conqueror’s song! Scripture: Isaiah 12:2
