In vain Apollo's silver tongue
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Worship Hymns Before Sermon Lyrics: In vain Apollo's silver tongue,
And Paul's with strains profound,
Diffuse among the listening throng,
The gospel's gladdening sound:
2 Jesus, the work is wholly thine
To form the heart anew,
Now let thy sovereign grace divine
Each stubborn soul subdue. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:5
In vain Apollo's silver tongue
For a clean Heart
Appears in 1,187 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: O for an heart to love my God! Lyrics: 1 O for an heart to love my GOD!
An heart from sin set free;
A heart that always feels thy blood
So freely shed for me!
2 A heart resign'd submissive, meek,
My dear Redeemer's throne;
Where only CHRIST is heard to speak,
Where JESUS reigns alone.
3 An humble, lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean;
Which neither life nor death can part
From him that dwells within.
4 An heart in every thought renew'd
And fill'd with love divine:
Perfect and right and pure and good,
A copy, LORD, of thine.
5 Thy tender heart is still the same,
And melts at human woe;
Send down thy grace, O blessed Lamb,
That I thy love may know.
6 Thy holy nature, LORD! impart;
Come quickly from above;
Write thy new name upon my heart,
Thy new best name of love.
For a clean Heart
Pray without ceasing
Appears in 287 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Pray'r was appointed to convey Lyrics: 1 Pray'r was appointed to convey
The Blessings God designs to give,
Long as they live should Christians pray;
For only while they pray they live.
2 The Christian's Heart his Pray'r indites,
He speaks as prompted from within,
The Spirit his Petitions writes;
And Christ receives, and gives it in.
3 And wilt thou in dead Silence lie,
When Christ stands waiting for thy Pray'r?
My Soul thou hast a Friend on High;
Arise and try thy Int'rest there.
4 If Pains afflict, or Wrongs oppress;
If Cares distract, if Fears dismay;
If Guilt deject, if Sin distress;
Thy Remedy's before Thee, pray.
5 'Tis pray'r Supports the Soul that's weak;
Tho' Thought be broken, Language lame,
Pray; if thou can'st, or can'st not speak;
But pray with Faith in Jesu's Name.
6 Depend on him; thou can'st not fail,
Make all thy Wants and Wishes known;
Fear not; his Merits must prevail;
Ask what thou wilt, it shall be done. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Creation and Providence
Author: Steel Appears in 140 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Lord when our Raptur'd thought surveys Lyrics: 1 Lord, when our Raptur'd thought surveys
Creation's beauties o'er,
All nature joins to teach thy praise,
And bid our souls adore.
2 Where'er we turn our gazing eyes,
Thy radiant footsteps shine;
Ten thousand pleasing wonders rise,
And speak their source divine.
3 The living tribes of countless forms,
In earth, and sea, and air,
The meanest flies the smallest worms,
Almighty power declare.
4 Thy wisdom, pow'r and goodness Lord
In all thy works appear;
And O! let man thy praise record,
Man, thy distinguish care.
5 Thy providence his constant guard,
When threatening woes impend,
Or will the impending dangers ward
Or timely succours lend.
6 On us that providence has shone,
With gentle smiling rays
O, may our lips and lives make known
Thy goodness and thy praise.

Condescension of God
Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: O Lord, our Lord, how wond'rous great Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our Lord, how wond'rous great,
Is thine exalted name,
Let glories of thy heav'nly state,
Let men and babes proclaim.
2 When I behold your works on high,
The moon that rules the night,
And stars that well adorn the sky,
Those moving worlds of light.
3 Lord, what is man, or all his race,
Who dwells so far below,
That thou should'st visit him with grace,
And love my nature so?
4 That thine eternal Son should bear,
To take a mortal form?
Made lower than his angels are,
To save a dying worm?
5 Jesus, our Lord, how wond'rous great
Is thine exalted name!
The glories of thy heav'nly state
Let the whole earth proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 8

The Excellency of the Scripture
Author: Steel Appears in 767 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Father of mercies, in thy word Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, in thy word
What endless glory shines?
For ever be thy name ador'd
For these celestial lines.
2 Here the fair tree of knowledge grows,
And yields a free repast;
Sublimer sweets than nature knows,
Invite the longing taste.
3 Here springs of consolation rise,
To chear the fainting mind;
And thirsty souls receive supplies,
And sweet refreshment find.
4 Here the Redeemer's welcome voice
Spreads heav'nly peace around;
And life, and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.
5 O may these heav'nly pages be
My ever dear delight,
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light.
6 Divine instructor, gracious LORD!
Be thou for ever near;
Teach me to love thy sacred word,
And view my Saviour there.
