Pride lamented

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Lamenting pride; Pride lamented First Line: Oft have I turn'd my eye within Lyrics: 1 Oft have I turn'd my eye within, And brought to light some latent sin; But pride, the vice I most detest, Still lurks securely in my breast. 2 Here with a thousand arts she tries To dress me in a fair disguise, To make a guilty wretched worm Put on an angel's brightest form. 3 She hides my follies from mine eyes, And lifts my virtues to the skies; And while the specious tale she tells, Her own deformity conceals. 4 Rend, O my God, the veil away, Bring forth the monster to the day; Expose her hideous form to view, And all her restless power subdue. 5 So shall humility divine Again possess this heart of mine; And form a temple for my God, Which he will make his lov'd abode.

A sinner lamenting the delay of divine grace

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns #CLXIX (1802) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sinner Lamenting delay of grace; Sinner Lamenting delay of grace First Line: Long have I walk'd this dreary road Lyrics: 1 Long have I walk'd this dreary road, Beset with darkness round; Nor seen nor heard a smiling God, Nor one bright moment found. 2 Others, who once did join my speech, And mourn'd in painful lay, Now mounting up with rapture, stretch To seize the heav'nly day. 3 Far left behind to feel my woe, With harden'd heart to groan, Each pray'r, each struggle sinks me low, Each breath repeats my moan. 4 The lengthen'd day, the gloomy night, Draw fast the bands of grief; Sometimes despair o'erclouds my sight, And says, there's no relief. 5 Then conscience thunders, Sinai flames, I try again to rise; The trial fails, and conscience blames My pray'rs, my tears, my cries. 6 If hope perchance a moment gleams, And says, Christ's blood was split; My heart of sin beclouds the beams, And seals my death and guilt. 7 'Tis thus perplex'd, forlorn and lost, I spend my weary days; No Jesus comes my hopes are crost, While others sing and praise.

An awakened sinner lamenting his past security

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sinner Lamenting his security First Line: Alas, alas how blind I've been Lyrics: 1 Alas! alas how blind I've been, How little of myself I've seen! Sprotive I sail'd the sensual tide, Thoughtless of God whom I defy'd. 2 I heard of heav'n, I heard of hell, Where bliss and woe eternal dwell; But mock'd the threats of truth divine, And scorn'd the place where angels shine. 3 My angry heart refus'd the blood Of a descending, suffering God; And guilty passion boldly broke The holy law which heav'n had spoke. 4 Th' alluring world control'd my choice, When conscience spoke, I hush'd its voice, Securely laugh'd along the road, Which hapless millions first had trod. 5 Now the almighty God comes near, And makes me shake with awful fear; His terrors all my strength exhaust, My fear grows high, my peace is lost. 6 With keen remorse I feel my wound, And seem to hear the dreadful sound, "Depart from me, thou wretch undone, Go reap thy sin, and fell my frown." 7 Thus ends my mirthful thoughtless life, Fill'd up with folly, guilt and strife; Perhaps I sink to endless pain, Nor hear the voice of joy again.

Declension lamented

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCLVI (1799) Topics: Declension Lamented First Line: Once, O Lord, thy garden flourish'd Refrain First Line: Eights and Sevens Lyrics: 1 Once, O Lord, thy garden flourish'd, Ev'ry part look'd gay and green; Then thy word our spirits nourish'd, Happy seasons we have seen! 2 But a drought has since succeeded, And a sad decline we see; Lord, thy help is greatly needed, Help can only come from thee. 3 Where are those we counted leaders, Fill'd with zeal, and love and truth? Old professors, tall as cedars, Bright examples to our youth! 4 Some, in whom we once delighted, We shall meet no more below, Some, alas! we fear are blighted, Scarce a single leaf they show. 5 Younger plants--the sight how pleasant, Cover'd thick with blossoms stood; But they cause us grief at present, Frosts have nipp'd them in their bud! 6 Dearest Saviour, hasten hither, Thou canst make them bloom again; Oh, permit them not to wither, Let not all our hopes be vain!
