Christian Self-denial

Appears in 138 hymnals First Line: And must I part with all I have Lyrics: 1 And must I part with all I have, My dearest Lord for thee?

Contentment and patience from the example of Christ

Appears in 36 hymnals First Line: By various maxims, forms, and rules Lyrics: 1 By various maxims, forms, and rules, That pass for wisdom in the schools, I strove my passion to refrain; But all my efforts prov'd in vain. 2 But since the Saviour I have known, My rules are all reduc'd to one; I keep my Lord by faith in view, Which strength supplies and motives too. 3 I see him lead a suff'ring life, Patient amidst reproach and strife; And from this pattern courage take To bear and suffer for his sake. 4 Upon the cross I see him bleed, And by the fight from guilt am freed; This fight destroys the life of sin, And quickens heav'nly life within. 5 To look to Jesus as he rose, Confirms my faith, disarms my foes; Satan I shame and overcome, By pointing to my Saviour's tomb. 6 Exalted on his glorious throne, I see him make my cause his own; Then all my anxious cares subside, For Jesus lives, and will provide.

The humble sinner trusting in Christ

Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: Cheer up, my soul, there is a mercy seat Lyrics: 1 Cheer up, my soul, there is a mercy seat, Sprinkled with blood, where Jesus answers pray'r; There humbly cast thyself beneath his feet, For never needy sinner perish'd there. 2 Lord, I am come! thy promise is my plea, Without thy word I durst not venture nigh; But thou hast call'd the burden'd soul to thee, A weary burden'd soul, O Lord, amd I! 3 Bow'd down beneath a heavy load of sin, By Satan's fierce temptations sorely prest, Beset without, and full of fears within, Trembling and faint I come to thee for rest. 4 Be thou my refuge, Lord, my hiding-place, I know no force can tear me from thy side; Unmov'd I then may all accusers face, And answer ev'ry charge, with "Jesus dy'd." 5 Yes! thou didst weep, and bleed, and groan and die! Well hast thou known what fierce temptation means, Such was my love! and now enthron'd on high, The same compassion in thy bosom reigns. 6 Lord, give me faith--he hears! what grace is this! Dry up thy tears, my soul, and cease to grieve; He shows me what he did, and who he is, I must, I will, I can, I do believe. Topics: Penitent Pleading for mercy; Penitent Returning
