The Kingdom of God, not in word, but in power

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #LXV (1790) First Line: A form of words tho' e'er so sound Lyrics: 1 A form of words tho' e'er so sound Can never save a soul, The Holy Ghost must give the wound, And make the wounded whole. 2 Though God's election is a truth, Small comfort there I see, Till I am told by GOD's own mouth, That he has chosen me. 3 Sinners, I read, are justified, By faith in JESUS' blood: But when to me that blood's appli'd, 'Tis then I've peace with GOD. 4 Imputed righteousness I own A doctrine most divine; For JESIS to my heart makes known, That all his merit's mine. 5 To perseverance I agree; The thing to me is clear; Because the LORD has promis'd me, That I shall persevere. 6 Thus christians glorify the LORD; His Spirit joins with ours, In bearing Witness to his word, With all its saving pow'rs.

A Funeral Hymn

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCCXXVI (1790) First Line: Ah! lovely appearance of death Lyrics: 1 Ah! lovely appearance of death, No sight upon earth is so fair; Not all the gay pageants that breathe, Can with a dead body compare; With solemn delight I survey The corps when the spirit is fled, In love with the beautiful clay, And longing to lie in its stead. 2 How blest is our brother bereft Of all that cou'd burden his mind; How easy the soul that has left This wearisome body behind! Of evil incapable thou, Whose relics with envy I see; No longer in misery now, No longer a sinner like me. 3 This earth is affected no more With sickness, or shaken with pain; The war in the members is o'er, And never shall vex him again: No anger hence forward or shame, Shall redden this innocent clay, Extinct is the animal flame, And passion is vanish'd away. 4 This languishing head is at rest Its thinking and aching are o'er; This quiet immoveable breast Is heav'd by affliction no more; This heart is no longer the seat Of trouble and torturing pain It ceases to flutter and beat, I never shall flutter again. 5 The lids he so seldom could close, By sorrow forbidden to sleep, Seal'd up in eternal repose, Have strangely forgotten to weep: The fountains can yield no supplies, These hollows from water are free; The tears are all wip'd from these eyes, And evil they never shall see. 6 To mourn and to suffer is mine, While bound in a prison I breathe; And still for deliverance pine, And press to the issues of death; What now with my tears I bedew O might I this moment become; My spirit created anew, My flesh be consign'd to the tomb.

The Burden'd Sinner

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCCXXXVI (1790) First Line: Ah! what can I do, Or how be secure Lyrics: 1 Ah! what can I do, Or how be secure If justice pursue, What heart can endure? When God speaks in Thunder, And makes himself known, The heart breaks asunder, Tho' harder then stone? 2 With terror I read My sin's heavy score Their number exceeds The sands on the shore Guilt makes me unable To stand or to flee; So Cain murder'd Abel, And trembled like me. 3 Each sin, like his blood, With terrible cry Calls loud upon God, To strike from on high, Nor can my repentance, Extended by fear Reverse the just sentence, 'Tis just tho' severe. 4 The case is too plain, I have my own choice, Again and again I slighted his voice, His warnings neglected, His patience abus'd, His gospel rejected, His mercy refus'd. 5 And must I then go Forever to dwell In mis'ry and woe With devils in hell! O where is the Saviour I scorn'd in times past? His word in my favour Would save me at last. 6 Lord Jesus! on thee I venter to call, O look upon me The vilest of all; For whom didst thou languish And bled on the tree? O pity my anguish, And say, "'twas for thee." 7 A cause such as mine Will honour thy pow'r, And hell will repine, All Heav'n adore, If in condemnation Strict justice takes place, It shines in salvation, More glor'ous thro' grace.

A Godly sorrow for Christ's sufferings

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: SPHP1790 #LXXXIII (1790) First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed! Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed! And did my sov'reign die; Wou'd he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done, He groan'd upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree. 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in; When Christ the mighty Saviour dy'd For man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While his dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in tenderness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love we owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

Watchfulness and Prayer

Author: Steel Hymnal: SPHP1790 #LXXXIX (1790) First Line: Alas what hourly dangers rise Lyrics: 1 Alas, what hourly dangers rise! What snares beset my way! To Heaven O let me lift mine eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain, And melt in flowing tears; My weak resistance, ah! how vain! How strong my foes and fears! 3 O gracious GOD, in whom I live, My feeble efforts aid, Help me to watch, and pray, and strive, Tho' trembling and afraid. 4 Increase my faith, Increase my hope, When foes and fears prevail; And bear my fainting spirits up, Or soon my strength will fail. 5 When ere temptations fright my heart, Or lure my feet aside, My God, thy powerful aid impart, My guardian and my guide. 6 O keep me in thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter flee; And let me never, never stray From happiness and thee.

All gracious God, thy people bless

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CLII (1790) Lyrics: 1 All gracious God thy people bless Enrich their souls with ev'ry grace May all receive thy precious word, Ascribing glory to the LORD. 2 Let careless sinners now attend, Before the means! and life shall end; Excite attention to thy voice, And bid the troubl'd soul rejoice. 3 Tho' from thy temple we depart, Yet deign to dwell in evy'r heart' Keep us in all our ways, and be: Our portion to eternity.

Faith's claim

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCLXI (1790) First Line: All ye that pass by Lyrics: 1 All ye that pass by To JESUS draw nigh, To you it is nothing that Jesus shou'd die? Your ransom and peace, Your surety he is, Come, see if there ever was sorrow like his. 2 For what you have done His blood must atone; The father hath punish'd for you his dear Son; He answer'd for all, O come at his call, And low at his cross with astonishment fall. 3 For you and for me, He pray'd on the tree; The pray'r is accepted, the sinner set free; The sinner am I, Who on JESUS rely, And come for the pardon GOD will not deny. 4 My pardon I claim, For a sinner I am, A sinner believing in JESUS' name. He purchas'd the grace Which now I embrace, O Father, thou know'st he hath dy'd in my place. 5 His death is my plea, My Advocate see, And hear the blood speak, that haa answer'd for me; Acquitted I was, When he bled on the cross; And losing his life he haa carry'd my cause.

Almighty God of truth and love

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CVII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Almighty GOD of truth and love In me thy pow'r exert; The mountain from my soul remove, The hardness of my heart; My most obdurate heart subdue, In honour of thy Son, And now the gracious wonder shew, And take away the stone. 2 I want a principle within, Of jealous, godly fear; A sensibility of sin, A pain to feel it near: I want the first approach to feel Of pride, or vain desire, To catch the wand'rings of my will, And quench the kindling fire. 3 From thee that I no more depart, No more thy goodness grieve, The filial awe, the fleshly heart, The tender conscience give: Quick as the apple of an eye, O GOD! my conscience make: Awake my soul when sin is nigh, And keep it still awake.

Holy Fortitude

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: SPHP1790 #XCVII (1790) First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross? Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross? A follower of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own his cause? Or blush to speak his name? 2 Must I be carry'd to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sail'd through bloody seas? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to GOD? 4 Sure I must fight if I would reign; Increase my courage LORD: I'll bear the cross, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer though they die; They see the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine, In robes of vic'try through the skies, The glory shall be thine.

The believer Christ's property

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCLIX (1790) First Line: And is it yet, dear Lord, a doubt Lyrics: 1 And is it yet dear Lord, a doubt, If in my breast thou righ'st alone O find the lurking rival out And drag the traitor from the throne. 2 Would earth's delusive trifling charms Assume a pow'r above thy name? Stab each usurper in my arms, And vindicate thy rightful claim. 3 By purchase, duty, ev'ry tie, Yea choice itself, Lord, Ia m thine; Maintain ty right, or let me die, Ere from thy love my soul decline. 4 In my unsteady heart wou'd rove IAnd well thou know'st its treach'rous frame,) If ought below, or ought above, Wou'd share or quenceh the sacred flame; 5 Chase the curs'd object from my soul, Thence, thence the twining mischief tear; Reign thou the sovereign of the whole Be LORD of ev'ry motion there.
