The almost Christian

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 463 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: Broad is the road that leads to death Lyrics: 1 Broad is the road that leads to death, And thousands walk together there; But wisdom shews a narrow'r path, With here and there a traveller. 2 Deny thyself, and take thy cross, Is the Redeemer's great command! Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain this heavenly land. 3 The fearful soul, that tires and faints, And walks the ways of God no more; Is but esteemed almost a saint? And makes his own destruction sure. 4 Lord, let not all my hopes be vain, Create my heart entirely new; Which hypocrites could ne'er attain, Which false apostates never knew.

How sad our state by nature is

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 291 hymnals Topics: After Sermon Lyrics: 1 How sad our state by nature is! Our sin, how deep it stains! And satan binds our captive souls Fast in his slavish chains. 2 But there's a voice of sov'reign grace Sounds from GOD's sacred word; "Ho! ye despairing sinners, come "And trust upon the LORD." 3 O may we hear th' Almighty call, And run to this relief; We would believe thy promise, LORD, O! help our unbelief. 4 To the blest fountain of thy blood, Teach us, O LORD! to fly: There may me wash my spotted souls From crimes of deepest dye! 5 Stretch out thine arm, victorious King, Our reigning sins subdue, Drive the old dragon from his seat, And form our souls anew. 6 Poor, guilty, weak and helpless worms, On thy kind arm we fall; Be thou our strength and righteousness, Our JESUS and our All. Scripture: Zechariah 13:1

I fear thy naem; Teach me to know how frail I am; And when my soul must hence remove; Give me a mansion in thy love.

O Jesu, Jesu, dearest Lord

Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: After Sermon Lyrics: 1 O Jesu, Jesu, dearest LORD, How wond'rous is thy love! Thy patience, pity, tenderness, Which I each moment prove! 2 O LORD, how faithless is my heart, How apt to turn aside; And wander in its own deceits, Of reasoning and pride! 3 Yet, dearest Saviour, love me still, The poorest, and the worst; For well I know where sin abounds, Thy grace abounds the most. 4 Yet let me not thy grace abuse, And sin because thou'rt good; But let thy love fill me with shame, That I thy love withstood. 5 On me, my King, exert thy pow'r, Make old things pass away, Create all new, and draw me still, Still nearer ev'ry day. 6 I thank and praise thee, dearest LORD, For all that thou hast done: O take me to thee as I am, For thy redeemed one.

Weary, O LORD, thou know's t I am; Yet still I cannot come to thee. 3 Rest for my soul I long to find; Saviour, if mine indeed thou art, Give me thy meek and lowly mind, And stamp thine image on my heart. 4 I would, but thou must give the pow'r, My heart from ev'ry sin release; Bring near, bring near the joyful hour, And fill me with thy heav'nly peace. 5 Come, LORD, the drooping sinner chear, Let not my JESUS long delay; Appear, in my hard heart appear, My GOD< my Saviour, come away.
