Love to God

Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: Of all the joys we mortals know Lyrics: 1 Of all the joys we mortals know, JESUS, thy love exceeds the rest; Love, the best blessing here below, The nearest image of the blest. 2 While we are held in thy embrace, There's not a thought attempts to rove; Each smile upon thy beauteous face, Fixes, and charms, and fires our love. 3 While of thine absence we complain, And long, or weep in all we do, There's a strange pleasure in the pain, And tears have their own sweetness too. 4 When round thy courts by day we rove, Or ask the watchmen of the night, For some kind tidings of our love, Thy very name creates delight. 5 JESUS, our GOD; yet rather come; Our eyes would dwell upon thy face, 'Tis best to see our LORD at home, And feel the presence of his grace.

Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: When, gracious Lord, when shall it be Lyrics: 1 When, gracious Lord, when shall it be, That I shall find my All in thee; The fulness of thy promise prove, The seal of tine eternal love? 2 Thee, only thee I fain wou'd find, And cast the world and flesh behind, As helpless soul, I come to thee, With only sin and misery. 3 Lord, I am sick, my sickness cure; I want, do thou enrich the poor: Under thy mighty hand I stoop. O lift the abject sinner up. 4 LORD, I am blind, be thou my sight; LORD, I am weak, be thou my might, An helper of the helpelss be, And let me find my All in thee. Text Sources: The Coll.

Contrition

Appears in 362 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: O Thou, whose tender mercy hears Lyrics: 1 O thou whose tender mercy hears Contrition's humble sigh; Whose hand indulgent, wipes the tears From sorrow's weeping eye. 2 See! low before the throne of grace We wretched wanderers mourn; Hast thou not bid us seek thy face? Hast thou not said, return? 3 And shall my guilty fears prevail To drive us from thy feet? O let not this dear refuge fail, This only safe retreat. 4 O shine on this benighted heart With beams of mercy shine; And let thy healing voice impart A taste of joys divine. 5 Thy presence only can bestow Delights which never cloy; Be this my solace here below, And my eternal joy.

Lord, I would spread my sore distress

Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: After Sermon Lyrics: 1 LORD, I would spread my sore distress And guilt before thine eyes; Against thy law, against thy grace, How high my crimes arise! 2 I from the stock of Adam came, Unholy and unclean; All my original is shame, And all my nature sin. 3 Born in a world of guilt, I drew, Contagion with my breath; And as my days advanc'd, I grew, A juster prey for death. 4 Cleanse me, O LORD, and chear my soul With thy forgiving love; O make my broken spirit whole, And bid my sins remove. 5 Let not thy spirit quite depart, Nor drive me from thy face; Create anew my vicious heart, And fill it with thy grace. 6 Then will I make thy mercy known, Before the sons of men; Backsliders shall address thy throne, And turn to GOD again. Scripture: Psalm 51
