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. Languages: English
I want a principle within
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
Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place
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
Th' uplifted eye, and bended knee
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #281 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews,
And nobler speech, that angels use:
If love be absent, I am found,
Like tinkling brass, an empty sound.
2 Were I inspir'd to preach and tell
All that is done in heav'n and hell;
Or could my faith the world remove,
Still I am nothing without love.
3 Should I distribute all my store
To feed the bowels of the poor,
Or give my body to the flame,
To gain a martyr's glorious name:
4 If love to God, and love to men
Be absent, all my hopes are vain;
Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal,
The work of love can e'er fulfil.

Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
Blest are the undefiled in heart
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #284 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Blest are the undefil'd in heart,
Whose ways are right and clean;
Who never from thy law depart,
But fly from ev'ry sin.
2 Blest are the men that keep thy word,
And practise thy commands;
With their whole heart they seek the Lord,
And serve thee with their hands
3 Great is their peace, who love your law;
How firm their souls abide!
Nor can a bold temptation draw
Their steady feet aside.
4 Then shall my heart have inward joy,
And keep my face from shame,
When all thy statutes I obey,
And honour all thy name. Languages: English
Blest are the undefiled in heart
Bless'd are the humble souls, who see
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #285 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Bless'd are the humble souls, who see
Their ignorance and poverty:
Treasures of grace to them are giv’n,
And crowns of joy laid up in heav’n.
2 Bless'd are the men of broken heart,
Who mourn for sin with inward smart;
For them divine compassion flows,
A healing balm for all their woes.
3 Bless'd are the meek, who stand afar
From rage and passion, noise and war:
God will secure their peaceful state,
And plead their cause against the great.
4 Bless'd are the souls who thirst for grace
Hunger and long for righteousness:
They shall be well supplied and fed
With living streams and living bread.
5 Bless'd are the men, whose hearts still move
And melt with sympathy and love;
They shall themselves from God obtain
Like sympathy and love again.
6 Bless'd are the pure, whose hearts are clean
From the defiling pow'r of sin:
With endless pleasure they shall see
A God of spotless purity.
7 Bless'd are the men of peaceful life,
Who quench the coals of growing strife;
They shall be call'd the heirs of bliss,
The sons of God, the God of peace.
8 Bless'd are the suff’rers who partake
Of pain and shame for Jesus’ sake:
Their souls shall triumph in the Lord;
Glory and joy are their reward. Languages: English
Bless'd are the humble souls, who see
Awake, our souls! away our fears!
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #288 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls! away our fears!
Let ev'ry trembling thought be gone.
Awake, and run the heav'nly race,
And put a cheerful courage on.
2 True, ’tis a strait and thorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty God,
Who strength imparts to ev'ry saint.
3 The mighty God, whose matchless pow'r
Is ever new, and ever young,
And firm endures, while endless years
Their everlasting circles run.
4 Swift as an eagle cuts the air,
We’ll mount aloft to thine abode;
On wings of love our souls shall fly,
Nor tire amidst the heav’nly road. Languages: English
Awake, our souls! away our fears!
Our country is Immanuel's ground
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #290 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Our country is Immanuel’s ground;
We seek that promis'd soil:
The songs of Zion cheer our hearts,
While strangers here we toil.
2 Oft do our eyes with joy o’erflow,
And oft are bath'd in tears:
Yet nought but heaven our hopes can raise,
And nought but sin our fears.
3 The flow'rs, that spring along the road,
We scarcely stoop to pluck;
We walk o'er beds of shining ore,
Nor waste one anxious look.
4 We tread the path our Master trod;
We bear the cross he bore;
And ev'ry thorn, that wounds our feet,
His temples pierced before.
5 Our pow'rs are oft dissolv'd away
In ecstasies of love;
And, while our bodies wander here,
Our souls are fix'd above.
6 We purge our mortal dross away,
Refining as we run;
But, while we die to earth and sense,
Our heav'n is here begun. Languages: English
Our country is Immanuel's ground
Ye servants of the Lord
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #292 (1814) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of the Lord,
Each in his office wait,
Observant of his heav'nly word,
And watchful at his gate.
2 Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame,
Gird up your loins, as in his sight,
For awful is his name.
3 Watch! 'tis your Lord's command;
And while we speak, he's near;
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.
4 O happy servant he,
In such a posture found!
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honour crown'd.
5 Christ shall the banquet spread
With his own bounteous hand,
And raise that favorite servant's head
Amidst th' angelic band. Languages: English
