To the Holy Ghost
Appears in 397 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: Stay, thou insulted Spirit, stay Lyrics: 1 Stay, thou insulted Spirit, stay;
Tho' I have done thee such despite,
Cast not a sinner quite away,
Nor take thine everlasting flight.
2 Tho' I have most unfaithful been,
Of all who e'er thy grace receiv'd;
Ten thousand times thy goodness seen,
Ten thousand times thy goodness griev'd.
3 But O! the chief of sinnes spare,
In honor of my great Hight Priest;
Nor in thy righteous anger swear
T' exclude me from thy people's rest.
4 If yet thou canst my sins forgive,
E'en now, O LORD, relieve my woes;
Into thy rest of love receive,
And bless me with a calm repose.
5 E'en now my weary soul release
And raise me by thy gracious hand;
Guide me into thy perfect peace,
And bring me to the promis'd land. Text Sources: The Coll.

Christ the Burden of the Song
Author: Cennick Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 230 hymnals Topics: Worship Hymns After Sermon First Line: Thou dear Redeemer, dying Lamb Lyrics: 1 Thou dear Redeemer dying Lamb,
We love to hear of thee;
No music's like thy charming name,
Nor half so sweet can be.
2 O let us ever hear thy voice,
In mercy to us speak,
And in our priest we will rejoice,
Thou great Melchisedec.
3 Our Jesus shall be still our theme,
While in this world we stay,
We'll sing our Jesu's lovely name,
When all things else decay:
4 When we appear in yonder cloud,
With all thy favor'd throng,
Then will we sing more sweet, more loud,
And Christ shall be our song.
Christ the Burden of the Song
The joy of Conversion
Appears in 202 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: When God reveal'd his gracious name Lyrics: 1 When God reveal.d his gracious name
And chang'd my mournful state,
My raptures seem'd a pleasing dream,
The grace appear'd so great.
2 The world beheld the glorious change,
And did thy hand confess:
My tongue broke out in unknown strains,
And sung surprising grace.
3 Great is the work, my neighbours cry'd
And own'd the pow'r divine;
Great is thew ork, my heart reply'd,
And be the glory thine.
4 The Lord can clear the darkest skies,
Can give us day for night,
Make drops of sacred sorrow rise,
To rivers of delight.
5 Let those who sow in sadness wait,
'Till the fair harvest come;
They shall confess their sheaves are great
And shout the blessings home.
6 Tho' seed lie buried long in dust,
It shan't deceive their hope!
The precious grain can ne'er be lost,
For grace insures the crop. Scripture: Psalm 126
The joy of Conversion
Contrition
Appears in 362 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: O Thou, whose tender mercy hears Lyrics: 1 O thou whose tender mercy hears
Contrition's humble sigh;
Whose hand indulgent, wipes the tears
From sorrow's weeping eye.
2 See! low before the throne of grace
We wretched wanderers mourn;
Hast thou not bid us seek thy face?
Hast thou not said, return?
3 And shall my guilty fears prevail
To drive us from thy feet?
O let not this dear refuge fail,
This only safe retreat.
4 O shine on this benighted heart
With beams of mercy shine;
And let thy healing voice impart
A taste of joys divine.
5 Thy presence only can bestow
Delights which never cloy;
Be this my solace here below,
And my eternal joy.
Contrition
Inconstancy
Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: Lord Jesus, when, when shall it be Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, when, when shall it be
That I no more shall break with thee
When will this war of passion cease,
And my free soul enjoy thy peace?
2 Here I repent and sin again;
Now I revive, and now am slain;
Slain with the same unhappy dart,
Which O! too often wounds my heart!
3 O Saviour, when, when shall I be,
A garden seal'd to all but thee?
No more expos'd, no more undone,
But live and grow to thee alone?
4 Guide thou, O Lord, guide thou my course
And draw me on with thy sweet force
Still make me walk, still make me tend;
By thee, my way, to God my end. Text Sources: The Coll.

God our only happiness
Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 252 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: My God, my portion, and my love Lyrics: 1 My God, my portion, and my love
My everlasting All!
I've none but thee in Heav'n above,
Or on this earthly ball.
2 What empty things are all the skies,
And this inferior clod!
There's nothing here deserves my joys,
There's nothing like my God.
3 In vain the bright, the burning sun,
Scatters his feeble light:
'Tis thy sweet beams create my noon;
If thou withdraw, 'tis night.
4 And whilst upon my restless bed,
Amidst the shades I roll,
If my Redeemer raise my head,
'Tis morning with my soul.
5 To thee we owe my wealth and friends,
And health, and safe abode:
We praise thy name for all these things;
But they are not our God.
6 Were I possessor of the earth,
And call'd the stars my own;
Without thy graces and thyself,
I were a wretch undone.
God our only happiness
Dismission
Author: Hart Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Before and After Sermon First Line: Lord, help us on thy word to feed Lyrics: 1 Lord, help us on thy word to feed;
In peace dismiss us hence;
Be thou, in every time of need,
Our refuge and defence.
2 We now desire to bless thy name,
And in our hearts record,
And with our thankful tongues proclaim,
The goodness of the Lord.

Weakness Bewailed
Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 101 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: Why is my heart so far from thee Lyrics: 1 Why is my heart so far from thee,
My GOD, my chief delight?
Why are my thoughts no more by day
With thee, no more by night?
2 Why should my foolish passions rove?
Where can such sweetness be,
As I have tasted in thy love,
As I have found in thee?
3 When my forgetful soul renews
The savour of thy grace,
My heart presumes I cannot lose
The relish all my days.
4 But e'er one fleeting hour is past,
The flatt'ring world employs
Some sensual bait to seize my taste,
And to pollute my joys.
5 Then I repent, and vex my soul,
That I shou'd leave thee so:
Where will those wild affections roll,
That let a Saviour go?
Weakness Bewailed
