Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 66 hymnals First Line: God of my life, to Thee My cheerful soul I raise

Author: Elizabeth Scott Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 107 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, our drowsy souls, Shake off each slothful band, The wonders of this day Our noblest songs demand. Auspicious morn! thy blissful rays, Bright seraphs hail in songs of praise. 2 At thy approaching dawn, Reluctant death resigned The glorious prince of life, Her dark domains confined. The angelic host around Him bends, And, 'midst their shouts, the God ascends. 3 All hail, triumphant Lord, Heaven with hosannas rings; While earth, in humbler strains, Thy praise responsive sings: Worthy art thou, who once wast slain, Through endless years to live and reign. 4 Gird on, great god, thy sword, Ascend thy conquering car, While justice, truth, and love Maintain the glorious war. Victorious thou, thy foes shalt tread, And sin and hell in triumph lead. 5 Make bare thy potent arm, And wing the unerring dart, With salutary pangs, To each rebellious heart. Then dying souls for life shall sue, Numerous as drops of morning dew. John Ash and Caleb Evans, A Collection of Hymns Adapted to Public Worship. Bristol, England, 1769, Hymn 307.

To whom save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 2 Thy wounds, not mine, O Christ, Can heal my bruised soul; Thy stripes, not mine, contain The balm that makes me whole. To whom save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 3 Thy cross, not mine, O Christ, Has borne the awful load Of sins that none could bear But the incarnate God. To whom save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 4 Thy death, not mine, O Christ, Has paid the ransom due; Ten thousand deaths like mine Would have been all too few. To whom save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 5 Thy righteousness, O Christ, Alone can cover me: No righteousness avails Save that which is of Thee. To whom save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? Amen. Topics: Faith and Justification Scripture: Philippians 3:9 Used With Tune: ST. JOHN

By Whom Was David Taught?

Author: William Cowper Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 82 hymnals First Line: By whom was David taught Lyrics: 1. By whom was David taught To aim the deadly blow, When he Goliath fought, And laid the Gittite low? Nor sword nor spear the stripling took, But chose a pebble from the brook. 2. ’Twas Israel’s God and King Who sent him to the fight; Who gave him strength to fling, And skill to aim aright. Ye feeble saints, your strength endures, Because young David’s God is yours. 3. Who ordered Gideon forth, To storm th’invaders’ camp With arms of little worth, A pitcher and a lamp? The trumpets made His coming known And all the host was overthrown. 4. Oh! I have seen the day, When with a single word, God helping me to say, My trust is in the Lord, My soul hath quelled a thousand foes Fearless of all that could oppose. 5. But unbelief, self will, Self righteousness, and pride, How often do they steal My weapon from my side! Yet David’s Lord, and Gideon’s Friend, Will help His servant to the end.

Eternal be Thy reign; Behold the nations sue To wear Thy gentle chain: When earth and time are known no more, Thy throne shall stand forever sure. Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT

When Hannah, Pressed with Grief

Author: John Newton Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When Hannah, pressed with grief, Poured forth her soul in prayer; She quickly found relief, And left her burden there: Like her, in every trying case, Let us approach the throne of grace. 2. When she began to pray, Her heart was pained and sad; But ere she went away, Was comforted and glad: In trouble, what a resting place, Have they who know the throne of grace! 3. Though men and devils rage, And threaten to devour; The saints, from age to age, Are safe from all their power: Fresh strength they gain to run their race, By waiting at the throne of grace. 4. Eli her case mistook, How was her spirit moved By his unkind rebuke? But God her cause approved. We need not fear a creature’s face, While welcome at the throne of grace. 5. She was not filled with wine, As Eli rashly thought; But with a faith divine, And found the help she sought: Though men despise and call us base, Still let us ply the throne of grace. 6. Men have not power or skill, With troubled souls to bear; Though they express good-will, Poor comforters they are: But swelling sorrows sink apace, When we approach the throne of grace. 7. Numbers before have tried, And found the promise true; Nor one been yet denied, Then why should I or you? Let us by faith their footsteps trace, And hasten to the throne of grace. 8. As fogs obscure the light, And taint the morning air; But soon are put to flight, If the bright sun appear; Thus Jesus will our troubles chase, By shining from the throne of grace.
