God of my life, whose gracious power
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Safety and Security in the Arms of Jesus Lyrics: 1 God of my life, whose gracious power
Through varied deaths my soul hath led,
Or turned aside the fatal hour,
Or lifted up my sinking head:
2 In all my ways, thy hand I own--
Thy ruling providence I see:
Assist me still my course to run,
And still direct my paths to thee.
3 Whither, oh, whither should I fly,
But to my loving Saviour's breast!
Secure within thine arms to lie,
And safe beneath thy wings to rest.
4 I have no skill the snare to shun,
But thou, O Christ, my wisdom art:
I ever into ruin run,
But thou art greater than my heart.
5 Foolish, and impotent, and blind,
Lead me a way I have not known;
Bring me where I my heaven may find--
The heaven of loving thee alone. Scripture: Isaiah 42:16
God of my life, whose gracious power
What cheering words are these?
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 145 hymnals Topics: Security of Christians Lyrics: 1 What cheering words are these?
Their sweetness who can tell?
In time and to eternity,
’Tis with the righteous well.
2 In ev'ry state secure,
Kept by Jehovah’s eye,
’Tis well with them while life endures,
And well when call'd to die.
3 ’Tis well when joys arise,
’Tis well when sorrows flow;
’Tis well when darkness veils the skies,
And strong temptations blow.
4 ’Tis well when on the mount
They feast on dying love;
And ’tis as well, in God’s account,
When they the furnace prove.
5 'Tis well when at His throne
They wrestle, weep, and pray;
'Tis well when at His feet they groan,
Yet bring their wants away.
6 'Tis well when Jesus calls:
"From earth and sin, arise,
Join with the hosts of virgin souls,
Made to salvation wise!"
What cheering words are these?
Begin my Tongue some heav'nly Theme
Appears in 299 hymnals Topics: Security i Promises Lyrics: [1 Begin, my Tongue, some heav'nly Theme,
And speak some boundless Thing,
The mighty Works, or mightier Name,
Of our Eternal King.
2 Tell of his wond'rous Faithfulness,
And sound his Pow'r abroad,
Sing the sweet Promise of his Grace,
And the performing God.
3 Proclaim Salvation from the Lord
For wretchd dying Men;
His Hand has writ the sacred Word
With an immortal Pen.
4 Engrav'd, as in eternal Brass
The mighty Promise shines;
Nor can the Pow'rs of Darkness raze
Those everlasting Lines.]
[5 He that can dash whole Worlds to Death,
And make them when he please,
He speaks, and that Almighty Breath
Fulfils his great Decrees.
6 His very Word of Grace is strong,
As that which built the Skies,
The Voice that rolls the Stars along,
Speaks all the Promises.
7 He said, Let the wide Heav'n be spread;
And Heav'n was stretch'd abroad!
Abr'am, I'll be thy God, he said,
And he was Abra'm's God.
8 O might I hear thine heav'nly Tongue
But whisper, Thou art mine,
Those gentle Words should raise my Song
To Notes almost divine.
9 How would my leaping Heart rejoice,
And think my Heav'n secure!
I trust the All-creating Voice,
And Faith desires no more.]
Begin my Tongue some heav'nly Theme
An awakened sinner lamenting his past security
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Sinner Lamenting his security First Line: Alas, alas how blind I've been Lyrics: 1 Alas! alas how blind I've been,
How little of myself I've seen!
Sprotive I sail'd the sensual tide,
Thoughtless of God whom I defy'd.
2 I heard of heav'n, I heard of hell,
Where bliss and woe eternal dwell;
But mock'd the threats of truth divine,
And scorn'd the place where angels shine.
3 My angry heart refus'd the blood
Of a descending, suffering God;
And guilty passion boldly broke
The holy law which heav'n had spoke.
4 Th' alluring world control'd my choice,
When conscience spoke, I hush'd its voice,
Securely laugh'd along the road,
Which hapless millions first had trod.
5 Now the almighty God comes near,
And makes me shake with awful fear;
His terrors all my strength exhaust,
My fear grows high, my peace is lost.
6 With keen remorse I feel my wound,
And seem to hear the dreadful sound,
"Depart from me, thou wretch undone,
Go reap thy sin, and fell my frown."
7 Thus ends my mirthful thoughtless life,
Fill'd up with folly, guilt and strife;
Perhaps I sink to endless pain,
Nor hear the voice of joy again.
An awakened sinner lamenting his past security
Lord, how secure muy Conscience was
Appears in 128 hymnals Topics: Conscience secure awakened Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my Conscience was,
And felt no inward Dread!
I was alive without the Law,
And thought my Sins were dead.
2 My Hopes of Heav'n were firm and bright,
But since the Precept came,
With a convincing Pow'r and Light,
I find how vile I am.
[3 My Guilt appear'd but small before,
Till terribly I saw
How Perfect, Holy, Just, and Pure,
Was thine eternal Law.
4 Then felt my Soul the heavy Load;
My Sins reviv'd again
I had provok'd a dreadful God,
And all my Hopes were slain.]
5 I'm like a helpless Captive sold,
Under the Pow'r of Sin;
I cannot do the Good I would,
Nor keep my Conscience clean.
6 My God, I cry with ev'ry Breath
For some kind Pow'r to save,
To break the Yoke of Sin and Death,
And thus redeem the Slave. Scripture: Romans 5:8-9
Lord, how secure muy Conscience was
