Walking with God

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #295 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 5:24 First Line: Oh! for a closer walk with God Lyrics: 1 Oh! for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame: A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew, When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus, and his word? 3 What peaceful hour I once enjoy'd, How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void, The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy Dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made thee mourn And drove thee from my breast: 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from thy throne, And worship only thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

My Spirit shall not always strive

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #168 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 6:3 First Line: Say, sinner, hath a voice within Lyrics: 1 Say, sinner, hath a voice within Oft whisper'd to thy secret soul, Urg'd thee to leave the ways of sin, And yield thy heart to God’s control? 2 Hath something met thee in the path Of worldliness and vanity, And pointed to the coming wrath, And warn'd thee from that wrath to flee? 3 Sinner, it was a heavenly voice,-- It was the Spirit’s gracious call; It bade thee make the better choice, And haste to seek in Christ thine all. 4 Spurn not the call to life and light; Regard in time the warning kind; That call thou may'st not always slight, And yet the gate of mercy find. 5 God’s Spirit will not always strive With harden'd, self-destroying man; Ye, who persist his love to grieve, May never hear his voice again. 6 Sinner--perhaps this very day, Thy last accepted time may be; Oh, should'st thou grieve him now away, Then hope may never beam on thee.

View of Canaan

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #309 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Deuteronomy 32:49 First Line: On Jordan's stormy banks I stand Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. 2 O the transporting rapt'rous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields array'd in living green, And rivers of delight! 3 There gen'rous fruits that never fail, On trees immortal grow; There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales, With milk and honey flow. 4 All o'er those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Son forever reigns, And scatters night away. 5 No chilling winds, nor pois'nous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and fear'd no more. 6 When shall I reach that happy place, I'll be forever blest? When shall I see my Father's face, And in his bosom rest? 7 Fill'd with delight my raptur'd soul Would here no longer stay; Tho' Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.

Ah, how shall fallen man

Hymnal: CHAP1845 #63 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Job 9:2-6 Lyrics: 1 Ah, how shall fallen man Be just before his God! If He contend in righteousness, We sink beneath his rod. 2 If he our ways should mark With strict inquiring eyes, Could we for one of thousand faults A just excuse devise. 3 All-seeing, powerful God! Who can with Thee contend? Or who that tries the unequal strife, Shall prosper in the end? 4 The mountains, in thy wrath, Their ancient seats forsake! The trembling earth deserts her place, Her rooted pillars shake! 5 Ah, how shall guilty man Contend with such a God? None, none can meet him, and escape; But through the Savior's blood.
