How helpless guilty nature lies
Hymnal: CHCS1898 #77 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How helpless guilty nature lies,
Unconscious of its load!
The heart, unchanged, can never rise
To happiness and God.
2 Can aught beneath a power divine
The stubborn will subdue?
’Tis Thine, O Holy Spirit, Thine
To form the heart anew.
3 ’Tis Thine the passions to recall,
And upwards bid them rise,
To make the scales of error fall
From reason’s darkened eyes;
4 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live;
A beam of heaven, a vital ray,
’Tis Thine alone to give.
5 O change these wretched hearts of ours,
And give them life divine!
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord, be Thine. Topics: Natural Depravity; Holy Ghost Works Regeneration; Regeneration Languages: English Tune Title: LANCASTER
How helpless guilty nature lies
Deluded souls that dream of heaven
Hymnal: CHCS1898 #78 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Deluded souls that dream of heaven,
And make their empty boast
Of inward joys and sins forgiven,
While they are slaves to lust!
2 Vain are our fancies' airy flights,
If faith be cold and dead;
None but a living power unites
To Christ, the living Head;
3 A faith that changes all the heart,
A faith that works by love;
That bids all sinful joys depart,
And lifts the thoughts above.
4 Faith must obey our Father’s will,
As well as trust His grace:
A pardoning God requires us still
To perfect holiness. Topics: Faith Living and dead; Faith Works by Love Languages: English Tune Title: LANCASTER
Deluded souls that dream of heaven
The Head that once was crowned with thorns
Hymnal: CHCS1898 #79 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty Victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
Is His by sovereign right:
The King of kings and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal Light.
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below,
To whom He manifests His love,
And grants His name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is given;
Their name, an everlasting name,
Their joy, the joy of heaven.
5 The cross He bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to Him:
His people's hope, His people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme. Topics: TheChurch Year Ascension; Christ Cross of; Christ King; Christ Victor Languages: English Tune Title: BEDFORD
The Head that once was crowned with thorns
There is a fountain filled with blood
Hymnal: CHCS1898 #80 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners, plunged neath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more.
4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave. Topics: Justification Languages: English Tune Title: BEDFORD
There is a fountain filled with blood
Now that the sun is beaming bright
Hymnal: CHCS1898 #81 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Now that the sun is beaming bright,
Once more to God we pray
That He, the uncreated light,
May guide our souls this day.
2 No sinful word, no deed of wrong,
No thoughts that idly rove,
But simple truth be on our tongue,
And in our hearts be love.
3 And while the hours in order flow,
O Christ, securely fence
Our gates, beleaguered by the foe,
The gate of every sense.
4 And grant that to Thine honor, Lord,
Our daily toil may tend:
That we begin it at Thy word,
And in Thy favor end. Topics: Worship Morning Languages: English Tune Title: NOW THANK THE LORD
Now that the sun is beaming bright
Thou art the Way; to Thee alone
Hymnal: CHCS1898 #82 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thou art the Way; to Thee alone
From sin and death we flee;
And he who would the Father seek
Must seek Him, Lord, by Thee.
2 Thou art the Truth; Thy Word alone
True wisdom can impart;
Thou only canst inform the mind
And purify the heart.
3 Thou art the Life: the rending tomb
Proclaims Thy conquering arm;
And those who put their trust in Thee
Nor death nor hell shall harm.
4 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life:
Grant us that Way to know,
That Truth to keep, that Life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow. Languages: English Tune Title: NOW THANK THE LORD
Thou art the Way; to Thee alone
God moves in a mysterious way
Hymnal: CHCS1898 #83 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own Interpreter,
And He will make it plain. Topics: God the Father Providence of Languages: English Tune Title: NOW THANK THE LORD

O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Hymnal: CHCS1898 #84 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who through this weary pilgrimage
Hast all our fathers led:
2 Our vows, our prayers, we now present
Before Thy throne of grace:
God of our fathers, be the God
Of their succeeding race.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
4 Oh, spread Thy covering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease,
And, at our Father’s loved abode,
Our souls arrive in peace!
5 Such blessings from Thy gracious hand
Our humble prayers implore;
And Thou shalt be our chosen God,
Our portion evermore. Topics: God the Father Providence of; Guidance, prayed for; Life a pilgrimage; Prayer General Petition; Protection, prayed for Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE
O God of Bethel, by whose hand
Jesus, our Lord, how rich Thy grace!
Hymnal: CHCS1898 #85 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, our Lord, how rich Thy grace!
Thy bounties how complete!
How shall we count the matchless sum,
How pay the mighty debt?
2 High on a throne of radiant light
Dost Thou exalted shine:
What can our poverty bestow,
When all the worlds are Thine?
3 But Thou hast brethren here below,
The partners of Thy grace,
And wilt confess their humble names
Before Thy Father's face.
4 In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed,
And visited and cheered;
And in their accents of distress
Our Saviour's voice is heard.
5 Thy face, with reverence and with love,
We in Thy poor would see;
Oh, may we minister to them,
And in them, Lord, to Thee. Topics: Beneficence Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE

Thy sovereign hand denies,
Accepted at Thy throne of grace,
Let this petition rise:
2 Give me a calm, a thankful heart,
From every murmur free;
The blessing of Thy grace impart,
And let me live to Thee.
3 Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine
My path of life attend;
Thy presence through my journey shine,
And crown my journey’s end. Topics: Contentment; Gratitude to God and Christ; Holiness Languages: English Tune Title: NAOMI
