Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #612 (1844) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Tribulation and Inconstancy of Mind First Line: In every believer two armies are seen Lyrics: 1 In every believer two armies are seen, The new man of grace, and the old man of sin; In Christ he is perfect, and free from all guilt, Yet in himself evils are both seen and felt. 2 As one in the Lord, he’s a true son of peace; In himself, he is nothing but sin and disgrace; His body’s the temple of the Holy Ghost, And Christ in him dwelleth as King of one host. 3 When Christ takes possession, and proves himself King, Then sin, world, and Satan, their forces will bring; Nor will they be wanting of gun-shot from hell; The old prince of darkness will furnish them well. 4 Yet such is the power and love of our King, In spite of all hell we of victory sing; For though sin and devils against us unite, ’Tis Christ fights our battles, and puts them to flight. 5 The victory is thine! then let hell do its worst; For Christ will still reign, and of Christ thou shalt boast; And when the fight’s ended, the crown thou shalt wear, And glory immortal with Christ thou shalt share.

(Gadsby's Hymns) #614 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Tribulation and Inconstancy of Mind First Line: The Lord the righteous tries Lyrics: 1 The Lord the righteous tries; Yet we’ll adore his name; He never will their cause despise, Nor put their hope to shame. 2 He brings them to the test, And tries them by his law; Then leads them to the promised rest, From whence they comfort draw. 3 Then he his face conceals, And lets them grope within; And by his Spirit’s power reveals The dreadful plague of sin. 4 We straightway cry, “Unclean! A monstrous mass of woe! What can such hosts of evil mean? And whither can we go?” 5 “Look here,” the Lord replies; “Thy beauty’s all in me; ’Tis thine to flee from self, and prize Salvation full and free. 6 “Whate’er my wisdom does, Or lets the tempter do, Thy guilt and ruin to disclose, One thing I keep in view – 7 “To teach thee how to live By faith in Jesus’ name; For guilt and sin to mourn and grieve, And sing the Lamb once slain.” Languages: English

Sinners, call'd by grace, and blessed

Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #615 (1844) Meter: 8.7.4 Topics: Tribulation and Inconstancy of Mind Lyrics: 1 Sinners, called by grace, and blessèd With a living faith in Christ, Must not think to be caressèd By a world of sin and vice; Satan’s agents Cannot love the Saviour’s choice. 2 Let this thought the Christian strengthen; Jesus’ name is life and peace; Angels have not skill to mention Half his wisdom, power, or grace. Souls that trust him, Soon shall see him face to face. 3 Though they suffer for a season, For the name of Christ, their Lord; And at times may know no reason Why such sorrows are endured; Soon he’ll teach them, That the whole has worked for good. 4 [Happy is the savèd sinner, That endures for Jesus’ sake; He of endless life’s a winner; Of his glory shall partake; Jesus will not, Cannot, such a soul forsake.] 5 O for love, for faith, and patience! Jesus, fix our souls on thee! Nor let Satan’s dire vexations, Make us start aside or flee; May we ever Cling and twine, dear Lord, to thee. Scripture: John 16:33 Languages: English

Precious Jesus! must it be

Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #616 (1844) Topics: Tribulation and Inconstancy of Mind Lyrics: 1 Precious Jesus! must it be, Is it thy all-wise decree, That afflictions must attend Zion to her journey’s end? 2 [Must the heirs of endless bliss Travel through a wilderness, And, by savage beasts of prey, Be tormented night and day?] 3 Yes, affliction is their lot; Earth is a polluted spot, Where a million evils dwell, All in league with death and hell. 4 Pains and sorrows, sins and woes, Will the Christian’s way oppose; Every day brings something new, Zion’s troubles to renew. 5 Yet, when faith is strong and true, They with cheerfulness go through, Scorning all created good, When opposed to Christ, their God. 6 Living faith will still esteem The reproaches of the Lamb, Greater riches than this earth Can afford the sons of mirth. 7 O for faith this choice to make, And endure, for Jesus’ sake, The reproaches of his cross, Counting all things else but dross!

Flesh and Spirit

Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #617 (1844) Topics: Tribulation and Inconstancy of Mind First Line: The new man and the old Lyrics: 1 The new man and the old By no means can agree; The one in sin is bold, From sin the other’s free. The principles of grace and sin A constant warfare must maintain. 2 [One loves to watch and pray, And walk in Jesus’ path; The other hates the way, And loves the road to death; Christ is the new man’s boast and joy; Flesh does the old man satisfy.] 3 Christ, and him crucified, The new man loves to view; Lust, vanity and pride, The old man will pursue; One pants with God to live and reign; The other hates his sovereign name. 4 The principle of grace On Jesus puts the crown; But sin, with shameless face, Would pull his glory down. Jesus shall reign, the new man cries; His right to reign the flesh denies. 5 Well, let old nature toil; The warfare can’t be long; And Christians, with a smile, Shall sing the conqueror’s song; Through Christ we shall victorious prove, And live and reign with him above.

The path that Christians tread

Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #618 (1844) Topics: Tribulation and Inconstancy of Mind Lyrics: 1 The path that Christians tread To reason’s eye is strange; Through regions of the dead, They frequently must range; Ten thousand monstrous beasts of prey Beset the soul by night and day. 2 We must not learn God’s truth As school-boys learn their task; Such knowledge is not proof Against delusion’s blast. An empty knowledge bloats with air, But dies when dreadful storms appear. 3 Christians oft pray for faith; To trace God’s beauties more; To triumph over death; And Jesus’ name adore. God hears and answers their desire; But ’tis through scenes of floods and fire. 4 [Sin, armed with all the spleen Of enmity to God, Oft rises up within, And scorns the Saviour’s blood; A world of filth, too base to name, Beset and plunge the soul in shame. 5 To pray, he thinks too bold; While he in silence moans, His bones keep waxing old, By reason of his groans; And by such means, though strange to tell, The Lord will teach him Jesus well.] 6 When self and nature die, And all our beauty’s gone, The Saviour brings us nigh, To trust in him alone; ’Tis then we trust his righteousness, And rest alone on sovereign grace. 7 Thus Jesus wears the crown; We gladly trace the power That brings all nature down, And leads us to adore Jesus, the Lord our Righteousness, Who saves in every deep distress.
