Who is this fair one in distress
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #570 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fears and doubts suppressed Lyrics:
[Who is this fair one in distress,
That travels from the wilderness?
And pressed with sorrows and with sins,
On her beloved Lord she leans.
This is the spouse of Christ our God,
Bought with the treasure of his blood;
And her request and her complaint
Is but the voice of every saint.]
"O let my name engraven stand
Both on thy heart and on thy hand;
Seal me upon thine arm, and wear
That pledge of love for ever there.
"Stronger than death thy love is known,
Which floods of wrath could never drown;
And hell and earth in vain combine
To quench a fire so much divine.
"But I am jealous of my heart,
Lest it should once from thee depart;
Then let thy name be well impressed
As a fair signet on my breast.
"Till thou hast brought me to thy home,
Where fears and doubts can never come,
Thy count'nance let me often see,
And often thou shalt hear from me.
"Come, my Beloved, haste away,
Cut short the hours of thy delay;
Fly like a youthful hart or roe
Over the hills where spices grow."
Scripture: Song of Solomon 8:5-7 Languages: English

for the Lord now liveth; death hath lost its sting. [Refrain]

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart
Author: George Croly Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #290 (1990) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Doubts Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
wean it from earth, through all its pulses move;
stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art,
and make me love thee as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel visitant, no opening skies;
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Hast thou not bid us love thee, God and King,
all, all thine own, soul, heart and strength and mind?
I see thy cross– there teach my heart to cling:
O let me seek thee, and O let me find.
4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh;
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame;
the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove,
my heart an altar, and thy love the flame. Scripture: Matthew 7:7 Languages: English Tune Title: MORECAMBE

in these cold hearts of ours.

from vanities and toys,
then shall we with fresh courage go
to reach eternal joys.
3 Awake our souls to joyful songs;
let pure devotion rise,
till praise employs our thankful tongues,
and doubt forever dies.
4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
with all Thy quickening powers;
come, shed abroad the Savior’s love,
and that shall kindle ours.

Standing on the Promises
'Tis a point I long to know
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #397 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian experience Doubts and Fears Lyrics: 1 'Tis a point I long to know;
Oft it causes anxious thought;
Do I love the Lord, or no?
Am I his, or am I not?
2 If I love, why am I thus?
Why this dull, this lifeless frame?
Hardly, sure, can they be worse,
Who have never heard his name!
3 Could my heart so hard remain,
Prayer a task and burden prove,
Every trifle give me pain,
If I knew a Saviour's love?
4 When I turn my eyes within,
All is dark, and vain, and wild,
Fill'd with unbelief and sin,
Can I deem myself a child?
5 If I pray, or hear, or read,
Sin is mix'd with all I do;
You who love the Lord indeed,
Tell me, Is it thus with you?
6 Yet I mourn my stubborn will,
Find my sin a grief and thrall;
Should I grieve at what I feel,
If I did not love at all!
7 Could I joy his saints to meet,
Choose the ways I once abhorr'd,
Find, at times, the promise sweet,
If I did not love the Lord?
8 Lord, decide this doubtful case!
Thou who art the people's sun,
Shine upon thy work of grace,
If it be indeed begun.
9 Let me love thee more and more,
If I love at all, I'll pray;
If I have not lov'd before,
Help me to begin to day.
'Tis a point I long to know
Uncertain how the way to find
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #400 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian experience Doubts and Fears; Doubting Christian Lyrics: 1 Uncertain how the way to find
Which to salvation led,
I list'ned long, with anxious mind,
To hear what others said.
2 When some of joys and comforts told,
I fear'd that I was wrong;
For I was stupid, dead, and cold--
Had neither joy nor song.
3 Of fierce temptations others talk'd,
Of anguish and dismay;
Thro' what distresses they had walk'd,
Before they found the way.
4 Ah! then I thought my hopes were vain
For I had lived at ease;
I wish'd for all my fears again,
To make me more like these.
5 I had my wish--the Lord disclos'd
The evils of my heart;
And left my naked soul expos'd
To satan's fi'ry dart.
6 Alas! "I now must give it up,"
I cry'd in deep despair;
How could I dream of drawing hope
From what I cannot bear!
7 Again my Saviour brought me aid,
And when he set me free,
"Trust simply on my word," he said,
"And leave the rest to me."
Uncertain how the way to find
