We Have Not Known Thee As We Ought
Author: Thomas Benson Pollock Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: The Way of Salvation Repentance Lyrics: 1 We have not known thee as we ought,
nor learned thy wisdom, grace and pow'r;
the things of earth have filled our thought,
and trifles of the passing hour.
Lord, give us light thy truth to see,
and make us wise in knowing thee.
2 We have not feared thee as we ought,
nor bowed beneath thine awful eye,
nor guarded deed, and word, and thought,
remembering that God was nigh.
Lord, give us faith to know thee near,
and grant the grace of holy fear.
3 We have not loved thee as we ought,
nor cared that we are loved by thee;
thy presence we have coldly sought,
and feebly longed thy face to see.
Lord, give a pure and loving heart
to feel and own the love thou art.
4 We have not served thee as we ought;
alas! the duties left undone,
the work with little fervor wrought,
the battles lost, or scarcely won!
Lord, give the zeal, and give the might,
for thee to toil, for thee to fight.
5 When shall we know thee as we ought,
and fear, and love, and serve aright!
When shall we, out of trial brought,
be perfect in the land of light!
Lord, may we day by day prepare
to see thy face, and serve thee there.

I Am Not Skilled to Understand
Author: Dora Greenwell Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #459 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.7 Topics: The Way of Salvation Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand
what God has willed, what God has planned;
I only know that at his right hand
is One who is my Savior!
2 I take him at his word indeed:
“Christ died for sinners,” this I read;
for in my heart I find a need
of him to be my Savior!
3 That he should leave his place on high
and come for sinful man to die,
you count it strange? So once did I,
before I knew my Savior!
4 And oh, that he fulfilled may see
the travail of his soul in me,
and with his work contented be,
as I with my dear Savior!
5 Yes, living, dying, let me bring
my strength, my solace from this spring;
that he who lives to be my King
once died to be my Savior.
Scripture: Acts 5:31 Languages: English Tune Title: GREENWELL

Jesus Sinners Doth Receive
Author: Erdmann Neumeister Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #473 (1990) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: The Way of Salvation The Free Offer of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 "Jesus sinners doth receive:"
word of surest consolation;
word all sorrow to relieve,
word of pardon, peace, salvation!
Naught like this can comfort give:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
2 On God's grace we have no claim,
yet to us his pledge is given;
he hath sworn by his own name,
open are the gates of heaven.
Take to heart this word and live:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
3 When a helpless lamb doth stray,
after it, the Shepherd, pressing
thro' each dark and dang'rous way,
brings it back, his own possessing.
Jesus seeks thee, O believe:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
4 Oh, how blest it is to know:
were as scarlet my transgression,
it shall be as white as snow
by thy blood and bitter passion;
for these words I now believe:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
5 Now my conscience is at peace,
from the Law I stand acquitted;
Christ hath purchased my release
and my every sin remitted.
Naught remains my soul to grieve -
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
Scripture: Luke 15:2 Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT

and give me an obedient mind;
that in thy service I may find
my soul's delight from day to day.
2 Guide me, O Savior, with thy hand,
and so control my thoughts and deeds,
that I may tread the path which leads
right onward to the blessed land.
3 Help me, O Savior, here to trace
the sacred footsteps thou hast trod;
and, meekly walking with my God,
to grow in goodness, truth, and grace.
4 Guard me, O Lord, that I may ne'er
forsake the right, or do the wrong:
against temptation make me strong,
and round me spread thy shelt'ring care.
5 Bless me in ev'ry task, O Lord,
begun, continued, done for thee:
fulfil thy perfect work in me;
and thine abounding grace afford.

J. Hart
1712 - 1768 Person Name: Joseph Hart Topics: The Way of Salvation The Free Offer of the Gospel Author of "Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Wretched" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) Hart, Joseph, was born in London in 1712. His early life is involved in obscurity. His education was fairly good; and from the testimony of his brother-in-law, and successor in the ministry in Jewin Street, the Rev. John Hughes, "his civil calling was" for some time "that of a teacher of the learned languages." His early life, according to his own Experience which he prefaced to his Hymns, was a curious mixture of loose conduct, serious conviction of sin, and endeavours after amendment of life, and not until Whitsuntide, 1757, did he realize a permanent change, which was brought about mainly through his attending divine service at the Moravian Chapel, in Fetter Lane, London, and hearing a sermon on Rev. iii. 10. During the next two years many of his most earnest and impassioned hymns were written. These appeared as:—
Hymns composed on Various Subjects, with the Author's Experience, London, 1759. During this year he became the Minister of the Independent Chapel, Jewin Street, London. In 1762 he added a Supplement to his Hymns; and in 1765 an Appendix. In modern editions of his Hymns these three are embodied in one volume as:— Hymns composed on Various Subjects: With the Author's Experience, The Supplement and Appendix. By the Rev. Joseph Hart, late Minister of the Gospel in Jewin Street, London. Allott & Co. [no date].
Hart died on May 24, 1768. At one time his hymns were widely used, especially by Calvinistic Nonconformists. Many of them are of merit, and are marked by great earnestness, and passionate love of the Redeemer. The best known are: “Come, Holy Spirit, come"; “Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched"; "This God is the God we adore"; and "Lord, look on all assembled here."
