So let our lips and lives express

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #274 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General 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 honours of our Savior God, When the salvation reigns within, And grace subdues the pow'r of sin. 3 Our flesh and sense must be deny'd, Passion and envy, lust and pride; While justice, temp'rance, 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.

I want a principle within

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #275 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 I want a principle within of watchful, godly fear, A sensibility of sin, a pain to feel it near. 2 That I from thee no more may part, No more thy goodness grieve: The filial awe, the loving heart, The tender conscience give; 3 A heart resign'd, submissive, meek, My great Redeemer's throne, Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone. 4 Quick as the apple of an eye, O God, my conscience make; Awake my soul when sin is nigh, And keep it still awake. 5 If to the right or left I stray, That moment, Lord, reprove; And let me mourn, and weep, and pray, For having griev'd thy love! 6 O! may the least omission pain My well-instructed soul; That I may find that grace again, Which makes the wounded whole.

Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #277 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place, Great God, and dwell before thy face? The man who loves religion now, And humbly walk with God below; 2 Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean, Whose lips shall speak the things they mean. No slanders dwell upon his tongue; He hates to do a neighbor wrong. 3 He will not trust an ill report, Nor vent it to his neighbour's hurt; Sinners of state he can despise, But saints are honour'd in his eyes. 4 Firm to his word he ever stood, And always makes his promise good: Nor will he change the thing he swears, Whatever pain or loss he bears. 5 He never deals in bribing gold, And mourns that justice should be sold. If others vex and grind the poor, Sweet charity attends his door. 6 He loves his enemies, and prays For those that curse him to his face; And doth to all men still the same, That he could hope or wish from them. 7 Yet, when his holiest works are done, His soul depends on grace alone. This is the man thy face shall see, And dwell for ever, Lord! with thee. Languages: English

Great God! whose all-pervading eye

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #278 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Great God! whose all-pervading eye Sees ev'ry passion of my soul! When sunk too low, or rais'd too high, Teach me those passions to control. 2 Temper the fervours of my frame; Be charity their constant spring; And O, let no unhallowed flame Pollute the offerings I bring. 3 Let peace with piety unite, To mend the bias of my will; While hope and heav'n-ey'd faith excite, And wisdom regulates, my zeal: 4 That wisdom, which to meekness turns: Wisdom descending from above; And let my zeal, whene'er it burns, Be kindled by the fire of love.

Th' uplifted eye, and bended knee

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #280 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Th' uplifted eye and bended knee, Are but vain homage, Lord! to thee In vain our lips thy praise prolong, The heart a stranger to the song. 2 Can rites, and forms, and flaming zeal, The breaches of thy precepts heal? Or fasts and penance reconcile Thy justice, and obtain thy smile? 3 The pure, the humble, contrite mind, Sincere, and to thy will resign'd, To thee a nobler off'ring yields Than Sheba’s groves, or Sharon’s fields. 4 Love God and man:—this great command Doth on eternal pillars stand. This did Thine ancient prophets teach, This did the great Messiah preach. Languages: English

Thou art my portion, O my God!

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #282 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Thou art my portion, O my God! Soon as I know thy way, My heart makes haste t'obey thy word, And suffers no delay. 2 I choose the path of heav'nly truth, And glory in my choice; Not all the riches of the earth Could make me so rejoice. 3 The testimonies of thy grace I set before mine eyes; Thence I derive my daily strength, And there my comfort lies. 4 Whene'er I wander from thy path I think upon my ways; Then turn my feet to thy commands, And trust thy pard'ning grace. 5 Now I am thine, for ever thine: O save thy servant, Lord! Thou art my shield, my hiding-place; My hope is in thy Word. 6 Thou hast inclin'd this heart of mine Thy statutes to fulfil; And thus, till mortal life shall end, Would I perform thy will.

Dost thou my worthless name record

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #286 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Dost thou my worthless name record, Free of thy holy city, Lord? Am I, a sinner, call'd to share The precious privileges there? 2 Art thou my King, my Father styl'd? Am I thy servant and child? Whilst wretched millions draw their breath In lands of ignorance and death. 3 Shall I receive this grace in vain? Shall I my great vocation stain? Away, ye works in darkness wrought! Away each sensual, wanton though! 4 My soul, I charge thee to excel In thinking right and acting well. Deep let thy searching pow'rs engage, Unbiass'd, in the sacred page. 5 Strong, and more strong, thy passions rule, Advancing still in virtue's school; Contending still, with noble strife, To imitate thy Saviour's life.

Ah wretched souls who strive in vain

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #287 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Ah wretched souls, who strive in vain, Slaves to the world, and slaves to sin! A nobler toil may I sustain, A nobler satisfaction win. 2 I would resolve with all my heart, With all my pow'rs to serve the Lord, Nor from his precepts e'er depart, Whose service is a rich reward. 3 O be his service all my joy! Around let my example shine; Till others love the blest employ, And join in labours so divine. 4 Be this the purpose of my soul, My solemn my determin'd choice, To yield to his supreme control, And in his kind commands rejoice. 5 O may I never faint nor tire, Nor wandering leave his sacred ways; Great God! accept my soul's desire, And give me strength to live thy praise.
