Jesus, Saviour of my soul

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #348 (1867) Topics: Man a Saint Thirsting After God Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the waves of trouble roll-- While the tempest still is high: Hide me, oh my Saviour! hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; Oh receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none-- Helpless clings my soul to Thee: Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me: All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing.

Oh for a closer walk with God

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #349 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Saint Thirsting After God Lyrics: 1 Oh for a closer walk with God,-- A calm and heavenly frame, A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and His word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy Dove! return, Sweet messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, And drove Thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, whate'er that idol be; Help me to tear it from Thy throne, And worship only Thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; And purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

So let our lips and lives express

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #351 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Saint Thirsting After God Lyrics: 1 So let our lips and lives express The holy gospel we profess; So let our works and virtues shine, To prove the doctrine all divine! 2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad The honors of our Saviour God, When the salvation reigns within, And grace subdues the power of sin. 3 Our flesh and sense must be denied, Passion and envy, lust and pride; While justice, temperance, truth and love Our inward piety approve. 4 Religion bears our spirits up, While we expect that blessèd hope, The bright appearance of the Lord, And faith stands leaning on His word.

Trust God; and He'll employ His aid for thee, and change these sighs To thankful hymns of joy. 4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Hope still; and thou shalt sing The praise of Him who is Thy God, Thy health's eternal spring. Scripture: Psalm 42 Languages: English

Lest, if Thy whole displeasure rise I sink beneath Thy rod. 2 Touched by Thy quickening power, My load of guilt I feel; The wounds Thy Spirit hath unclosed Oh let that Spirit heal. 3 In trouble and in gloom, Must I for ever mourn? And wilt Thou not at length, O God, In pitying love return? 4 Oh come, ere life expire, Send down Thy power to save; For who shall sing Thy Name in death, Or praise Thee in the grave? 5 Why should I doubt Thy grace, Or yield to dread despair? Thou wilt fulfill Thy promised word, And grant me all my prayer. Scripture: Psalm 6 Languages: English

Oh for a glance of heavenly day

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #355 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Saint Lukewarm and Backsliding Lyrics: 1 Oh for a glance of heavenly day, To take this stubborn heart away, And thaw with beams of love divine This heart, this frozen heart of mine! 2 The rocks can rend; the earth can quake; The seas can roar; the mountains shake; Of feeling all things show some sign: But this unfeeling heart of mine. 3 To hear the sorrows thou hast felt, O Lord, an adamant might melt; But I can read each moving line, And nothing moves this heart of mine. 4 Thy judgments too, which devils fear, (Amazing thought!) unmoved I hear; Goodness and wrath in vain combine, To stir this stupid heart of mine. 5 Eternal Spirit! mighty God! Apply to me the Saviour's blood; 'Tis His rich blood, and His alone, Can move and melt this heart of stone. Languages: English

And shall a pardoned 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: Oh keep me at Thy sacred feet, And let me rove no more.

Sweet was the time when first I felt

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #357 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Saint Lukewarm and Backsliding Lyrics: 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt The Saviour's pardoning blood, Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt, And bring me home to God. 2 Soon as the morn the light revealed, His praises tuned my tongue; And when the evening shades prevailed, His love was all my song. 3 In prayer my soul drew near the Lord, And saw His glory shine; And when I read His holy word, I called each promise mine. 4 Now, when the evening shade prevails, My soul in darkness mourns; And when the morn the light reveals, No light to me returns. 5 Now Satan threatens to prevail, And make my soul his prey; Yet Lord, Thy mercies cannot fail; Oh come without delay!
