Awake, my heart, arise, my tongue
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart, arise, my tongue,
Prepare a tuneful voice;
In God, the life of all my joys,
Aloud will I rejoice.
2 'Tis he adorned my naked soul,
And made salvation mine;
Upon a poor, polluted worm
He makes his graces shine.
3 And lest the shadow of a spot
Should on my soul be found,
He took the robe the Saviour wrought,
And cast it all around.
4 How far that heavenly robe excels
What earthly princes wear!
These ornaments, how bright they shine!
How white the garments are!
5 The Spirit wrought my faith and love
And hope, and every grace;
But Jesus spent his life to work
The robe of righteousness. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON
Awake, my heart, arise, my tongue
Jesus, and didst thou leave the sky
Author: Anne Steele Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and didst thou leave the sky,
To bear our griefs and woes?
And didst thou bleed, and groan and die,
For thy rebellious foes?
2 Well might the heavens with wonder view
A love so strange as thine!
No thought of angels ever knew
Compassion so divine!
3 Is there a heart that will not bend
To thy divine control?
Descend, O sovereign love, descend,
And melt that stubborn soul!
4 O, may our willing hearts confess
Thy sweet, thy gentle sway!
Glad captives of thy matchless grace,
Thy righteous rule obey. Used With Tune: DOWNS
Jesus, and didst thou leave the sky
Jesus, full of all compassion
Author: Daniel Turner Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Jesus, full of all compassion,
Hear thy humble suppliant's cry;
Let me know thy great salvation;
See, I languish, faint and die;
Guilty, but with heart relenting,
Overwhelmed with helpless grief,
Prostrate at thy feet repenting,
Send, O send me quick relief!
2 Whither should my soul be flying
But to him who comfort gives?
Whither from the dread of dying
But to him who ever lives?
While I view thee, wounded, grieving,
Breathless on the cursed tree,
Fain I'd feel my heart believing
Thou didst suffer thus for me.
3 With thy righteousness and Spirit
I am more than angels blessed;
Heir with thee, all things inherit,
Peace and joy, and endless rest:
Saved! the deed shall spread new glory
Through the shining realms above;
Angels sing the pleasing story,
All enraptured with thy love. Used With Tune: DEERHURST
Jesus, full of all compassion
Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone
Author: John Cennick Appears in 787 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone,
He whom I fix my hopes upon;
His track I see, and I'll pursue
The narrow way, till him I view.
2 The way the holy prophets went,
The road that leads from banishment,
The King's highway of holiness,
I'll go; for all his paths are peace.
3 This is the way I long have sought,
And mourned because I found it not;
My grief a burden long has been,
Because I was not saved from sin.
4 Lo! glad I come, and thou, blest Lamb,
Shalt take me to thee, whose I am;
Nothing but sin have I to give,
Nothing but love shall I receive.
5 Then will I tell to all around,
What a dear Saviour I have found;
I'll point to thy redeeming blood,
And say, "Behold the way to God." Used With Tune: HAPPY DAY
Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone
Jesus, to thee I now can fly
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Jesus, to thee I now can fly,
On whom my help is laid:
Oppressed by sins, I lift mine eye,
And see the shadows fade.
2 Believing on my Lord, I find
A sure and present aid;
On thee alone my constant mind
Be every moment stayed.
3 Whate'er in me seems wise, or good,
Or strong, I here disclaim;
I wash my garments in the blood
Of the atoning Lamb.
4 Jesus, my strength, my life, my rest,
On thee will I depend,
Till summoned to the marriage-feast,
When faith in sight shall end. Used With Tune: DOWNS
Jesus, to thee I now can fly
Happy day, happy day
Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 1,754 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance First Line: O happy day! that fixed my choice Lyrics: 1 O, happy day! that fixed my choice
On thee, my Saviour and my God;
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad
Chorus:
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing every day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
2 'Tis done, the great transaction's done;
I am my Lord's, and he is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on,
Charmed to confess the voice divine. [Chorus]
3 Now rest, my long-divided heart,
Fixed on this blissful center, rest;
Nor ever from thy Lord depart,
With him of every good possessed. [Chorus]
4 High Heaven, that heard the solemn vow,
That vow renewed shall daily hear,
Till in time's latest hour I bow,
And bless at last a bond so dear [Chorus]
5 And when the bright celestial train,
From highest heaven to earth shall come;
Then with my Lord I'll rise, and reign
Forever in that happy home. [Chorus] Used With Tune: HAPPY DAY
Happy day, happy day
Shall the vile race of flesh and blood
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Shall this vile race of flesh and blood
Contend with their Creator, God?
Shall mortal worms presume to be
More holy, wise, or just, than he?
2 From night to day, from day to night,
We die by thousands in thy sight?
Buried in dust whole nations lie,
Like a forgotten vanity.
3 Almighty Power, to thee we bow;
How frail are we! how glorious thou!
No more the sons of earth shall dare
With an eternal God compare. Used With Tune: WINDHAM
Shall the vile race of flesh and blood
O Jesus! thou art standing
Author: William How Appears in 676 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 O Jesus! thou art standing
Outside the fast-closed door,
In lowly patience waiting
To pass the threshold o'er:
We bear the name of Christians,
Thy name and sign we bear:
O, shame, thrice shame upon us!
To keep thee standing there.
2 O Jesus! thou art knocking;
And lo! that hand is scarred,
And thorns thy brow encircle,
And tears thy face have marred:
O, love that passeth knowledge,
So patiently to wait!
So, sin that hath no equal,
So fast to bar the gate!
3 O Jesus! thou art pleading
In accents meek and low,
"I died for you, my children,
And will ye treat me so?"
O Lord, with shame and sorrow
We open now the door:
Dear Saviour, enter, enter,
And leave us nevermore! Used With Tune: AURELIA
O Jesus! thou art standing
Why should we start and fear to die
