Self-righteous souls on works rely
Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Self-righteous souls on works rely,
And boast their mortal dignity;
But if I lisp a song of praise,
Grace is the note my soul shall raise.
2 'Twas grace that quickened me when dead,
And grace my soul to Jesus led;
Grace brings me pardon for my sin--
'Tis grace subdues my lusts within.
3 'Tis grace that sweetens ev'ry cross,
'Tis grace supports in ev'ry loss;
In Jesus' grace my soul is strong--
Grace is my hope and Christ my song.
4 'Tis grace defends when danger's near;
And 'tis by grace I persevere;
'Tis grace constrains my soul to love--
Free grace is all they sing above.
5 Through endless years of grace I'll sing,
Adore and bless my heavenly King;
I'll cast my crown before His throne,
Saved by His sov'reign grace alone. Used With Tune: WAREHAM (All Saints) Text Sources: Dobell's Collection, 1806

Blest be Thy love, dear Lord
Author: John Austin Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Blest be Thy love, dear Lord,
That taught us this sweet way,
Only to love Thee for Thyself,
And for that love obey.
2 O Thou, our soul's chief Hope!
We to Thy mercy fly;
What'er we are, Thou canst protect,
What'er we need, supply.
3 Whether we sleep or wake,
To Thee we both resign;
The darkest night is as the day,
If Thy light on us shine.
4 Whether we live or die,
Both we submit to Thee;
In death we live as well as life,
If Thine in faith we be. Used With Tune: DENNIS
Blest be Thy love, dear Lord
My God, I love Thee, not because
Author: Francis Xavier; Edward Caswell Appears in 211 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee, not because
I hope for heav'n thereby;
Nor yet because who love Thee not
Must burn eternally.
2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me
Upon the cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace,
3 And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony,
Yea, death itself; and all for one
That was Thine enemy.
4 Then why, O blessed Savior, Christ,
Should I not love Thee well?
Not for the hope of winning heav'n,
Nor of escaping hell;
5 Not with the hope of gaining aught,
Not seeking a reward;
But solely for Thy love to me,
O ever-loving Lord?
6 E’en so I love Thee, and will love,
And in Thy praise will sing,
Alone because Thou art my God,
And my eternal King. Used With Tune: BELMONT

O Thou, from whom all goodness flows
Author: Thomas Haweis Appears in 419 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 O Thou, from whom all goodness flows,
I raise my soul to Thee;
In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes,
Dear Lord, remember me.
2 When on my aching, burdened heart
My sins lie heavily,
Thy pardon grant, new peace impart:
Dear Lord, remember me!
3 When trials sore obstruct my way,
And ills I cannot flee,
O let my strength be as my day:
Dear Lord, remember me!
4 If worn with pain, disease, and grief,
This feeble frame shall be;
Grant patience, rest, and kind relief:
Dear Lord, remember me!
5 When in the solemn hour of death
I wait Thy just decree,
Be this the prayer of my last breath,
Dear Lord, remember me!
6 And when before Thy throne I stand,
And lift my soul to Thee,
Then, with the saints at Thy right hand,
Dear Lord, remember me! Used With Tune: MERTON

Songs of praise the angels sang
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 547 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang,
Heav'n with hallelujas rang
When Jehovah's work begun,
When He spake and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the morn,
When the Prince of Peace was born;
Songs of praise arose when He
Captive led captivity.
3 Heav'n and earth must pass away;
Songs of praise shall crown that day,
God will make new heav'ns and earth;
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.
4 And shall man alone be dumb
Till that glorious kingdom come?
No, the Church delights to raise
Psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above. Used With Tune: POSEN (Himmel, Erde, Luft und Mer)

The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God?
A fountain is opened; how canst thou refuse
To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood?

Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight,
And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race,
To sink in the vale of eternity's night. Used With Tune: LYONS
