Almighty God of truth and love

Appears in 13 hymnals 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.

And must this body die

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 376 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And must this body die, This well-wrought frame decay? And must these active limbs of mine, Lie mould'ring in the clay? 2 Corruption, earth, and worms, Shall but refine this flesh, Till my triumphant spirit comes To put it on afresh. 3 GOD my Redeemer lives, And often from the skies, Looks down, and watches all my dust, Till he shall bid it rise. 4 Array'd in glorious grace, Shall these vile bodies shine, And ev'ry shape, and ev'ry face, Be heav'nly and divine. 5 These lively hopes we owe, Lord, to thy dying love, O may we bless thy grace below, And sing is pow'r above.

For New Year's Day

Appears in 179 hymnals First Line: And now, my soul another year Lyrics: 1 And now, my soul another year Of thy short life is past. I cannot long continue here, And this may be my last. 2 Much of my dubious life is gone, Nor will return again; And swift my passing moments run, And few that yet remain. 3 Awake, my soul, with utmost care Thy true condition learn; What are thy hopes, how sure, how fair And what thy great concern. 4 Now a new scene of time begins, Set out afresh for Heaven; Seek pardon for thy former sins, In Christ so freely given. 5 Devoutly yield thyself to God, And on his grace depend; With zeal pursue the heav'nly road, Nor doubt a happy end.

The Heavenly guest

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 91 hymnals First Line: And will the Lord thus condescend Lyrics: 1 And will the LORD thus condescend To visit sinful worms? Thus at the door shall mercy stand, In all her winning forms? 2 Surprizing grace! — and shall my heart Unmov'd and cold remain? Has this hard rock no tender part? Must mercy please in vain? 3 Shall JESIS for admission sue, His charming voice unheard? And this vile heart, his rightful due, Remain for ever barr'd? 4 'Tis sin, alas! with tyrant power, The lodging has possess'd; And crouds of traitors bar the door Against the heav'nly guest. 5 LORD, rise in thy all conqu'ring grace, Thy mighty power display; One beam of glory from thy face Can drive my foes away. 6 Ye dangerous inmates, hence depart; Dear Saviour enter in, And guard the passage to my heart, And keep out ev'ry sin.

The Sabbath

And draw from heaven that sweet repose Which none, but he that feels it knows. 4 This heavenly calm, within the breast, Is the dear pledge of glorious rest, Which for the church of God remains, The end of cares the end of pains. 5 With joy great God, thy works we view In various scenes both old and new; With praise, we think on mercies past, With hope, we future pleasures taste. 6 In holy duties let the day, In holy pleasures pass away: How sweet, a sabbath thus to spend, In hope of one that ne'er shall end!

And, as His kingdom grows; Fresh honours shall adorn his crown, And shame confound his foes. Topics: Constitution of a Church
