Rejoice, Believer, In The Lord

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 99 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, believer, in the Lord Who makes your cause His own; The hope that’s built upon His Word, Can ne’er be overthrown. 2 Though many foes beset your road, And feeble is your arm; Your life is hid with Christ in God Beyond the reach of harm. 3 Weak as you are, you shall not faint, Or fainting shall not die; Jesus, the strength of every saint, Will aid you from on high. 4 Though sometimes unperceived by sense, Faith sees Him always near; A guide, a glory, a defense, Then what have you to fear? 5 As surely as He overcame, And triumphed once for you; So surely you, that love His name, Shall triumph in Him too.

"A clean heart"

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1,181 hymnals First Line: Oh, for a heart to praise my God Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free; A heart that always feels thy blood So freely shed for me! 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My dear Redeemer's throne; Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone! 3 Oh, for a lowly, contrite heart, Believing, true, and clean! Which neither life nor death can part From him that dwells within. 4 A heart in every thought renewed, And filled with love divine; Perfect, and right, and pure, and good; An image, Lord! of thine. 5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart; Come quickly from above; Write thy new name upon my heart,-- Thy new, best name of Love.

"The sacred fire"

Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 81 hymnals First Line: Prayer is the breath of God in man Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the breath of God in man, Returning whence it came; Love is the sacred fire within, And prayer the rising flame. 2 It gives the burdened spirit ease, And soothes the troubled breast; Yields comfort to the mourning soul, And to the weary rest. 3 When God inclines the heart to pray, He hath an ear to hear; To him there's music in a sigh, And beauty in a tear. 5 The humble suppliant cannot fail To have his wants supplied, Since he for sinners intercedes, Who once for sinners died.

There is a fountain filled with blood

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,561 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Emmanuel's veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, as vile as he, Wash all my sins away! 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious Blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue, Lies silent in the grave. 6 Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared (Unworthy though I be) For me a blood-bought free reward, A golden harp for me! 7 'Tis strung and tuned for endless years, And formed by power divine To sound in God the Father's ears No other name but Thine.
