Lord, thou hast seen my soul sincere

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Sincerity proved and rewarded Lyrics: 9 Lord, thou hast seen my soul sincere, Hast made thy truth and love appear; Before mine eyes I set thy laws, And Thou hast own'd my righteous cause. 10 Since I have learn'd thy holy ways, I’ve walk'd upright before thy face: Or if my feet did e’er depart, Thy love reclaim'd my wand'ring heart. 11 What sore temptations broke my rest! What wars and strugglings in my breast! But through thy grace that reigns within, I guard against my darling sin. 12 That sin which close besets me still, That works and strives against my will: When shall thy spirit’s sovereign pow'r Destroy it, that it rise no more. 13 With an impartial hand, the Lord Deals out to mortals their reward; The kind and faithful souls shall find A God as faithful and as kind. 14 And men that love revenge shall know, God hath an arm of vengeance too: The just and pure, shall ever say, Thou art more pure, more just than they.

The voice of my Beloved sounds

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Obedience sincere; Sincerity Lyrics: The voice of my Beloved sounds Over the rocks and rising grounds; O'er hills of guilt and seas of grief He leaps, he flies to my relief. Now through the veil of flesh I see With eyes of love he looks at me; Now in the gospel's clearest glass He shows the beauties of his face. Gently he draws my heart along, Both with his beauties and his tongue; "Rise," saith my Lord, "make haste away, No mortal joys are worth thy stay. "The Jewish wintry state is gone, The mists are fled, the spring comes on; The sacred turtle-dove we hear Proclaim the new, the joyful year. "Th' immortal vine of heav'nly root Blossoms, and buds, and gives her fruit:" Lo! we are come to taste the wine; Our souls rejoice, and bless the vine. And when we hear our Jesus say, "Rise up, my love, make haste away!" Our hearts would fain outfly the wind, And leave all earthly loves behind. Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:8-13

Often I seek my Lord by night

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Obedience sincere; Sincerity Lyrics: Often I seek my Lord by night, Jesus, my Love, my soul's delight; With warm desire and restless thought I seek him oft, but find him not. Then I arise and search the street, Till I my Lord, my Savior meet: I ask the watchmen of the night, "Where did you see my soul's delight?" Sometimes I find him in my way, Directed by a heav'nly ray; I leap for joy to see his face, And hold him fast in mine embrace. [I bring him to my mother's home, Nor does my Lord refuse to come To Zion's sacred chambers, where My soul first drew the vital air. He gives me there his bleeding heart, Pierced for my sake with deadly smart; I give my soul to him, and there Our loves their mutual tokens share.] I charge you, all ye earthly toys, Approach not to disturb my joys; Nor sin nor hell come near my heart, Nor cause my Savior to depart. Scripture: Song of Solomon 3:1-5

To Jesus, our atoning Priest, To Jesus, our superior King, Be everlasting power confessed, And every tongue his glory sing. Behold, on flying clouds he comes, And every eye shall see him move; Though with our sins we pierced him once, Then he displays his pard'ning love. The unbelieving world shall wail, While we rejoice to see the day: Come, Lord; nor let thy promise fail, Nor let thy chariots long delay. Scripture: Revelation 1:5-7
