Acceptance through Christ alone

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: Worship Hymns After Sermon First Line: How shall the sons of men appear Lyrics: 1 How shall the sons of men appear, Great God, before thine awful bar? How may the guilty hope to find Acceptance with th' eternal mind? 2 Not vows, nor groans, nor broken cries, Not the most costly sacrifice, Not infant blood profusely spilt, Will expiate a sinner's guilt. 3 Thy blood, dear Jesus, thine alone, Hath sovereign virtue to attone: Here we will rest our only plea When we approach, great God, to thee. Scripture: John 14:6

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

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?

Christ the Burden of the Song

God our only happiness

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 253 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.

The precious grain can ne'er be lost, For grace insures the crop. Scripture: Psalm 126

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.

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.
