The spirit of God insensibly withdrawn

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CIX (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: A present God is all our strength Lyrics: 1 A present God is all our strength, And all our joy and hope; When he withdraws, our comforts die, And every grace must droop. 2 But flattering trifles charm our hearts To court their false embrace, Till justly this neglected friend Averts his angry face. 3 He leaves us and we miss him not; But go presumptuous on, Till baffled, wounded, and enslav'd, We learn that God is gone. 4 And what, my soul, can then remain One ray of light to give? Sever'd from him, their better life, How can his children live? 5 Hence, all ye painted forms of joy, And leave my heart to mourn: I would devote these eyes to tears, Till chear'd by his return. 6 Look back, my Lord, and own the place, Where once thy temple stood; For lo, its ruins bear the mark Of rich atoning blood.

Orignial Sin; or, The first and second Adam

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XXVIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Adam our father and our head Lyrics: 1 Adam our father and our head, Transgress'd, and justice doom'd us dead; The fiery law speaks all despair, There's no reprieve nor pardon there. 2 Call a bright council in the skies; Seraphs the mighty and the wise, Speak; are you strong to bear the load, The weighty vengeance of a God? 3 In vain we ask; for all around Stand silent thro' the heavenly ground; There's not a glorious mind above Has half the strength, or half the love. 4 But O! unmeasuraable grace! The eternal Son takes Adam's place; Down to our world the Saviour flies, Stretches his arms, and bleeds, and dies. 5 Amazing work! look down, ye skies, Wonder and gaze with all your eyes; Ye saints below and saints above, And bow to this mysterious love.

As thy days, so shall thy strength be

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XCVII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Afflicted saint, to Christ draw near Lyrics: 1 Afflicted saint, to Christ draw near, The Saviour's gracious promise hear; His faithful word declares to thee, That as thy days, thy strength shall be. 2 Let not thy heart despond and say, "How shall I stand the trying day?" he has engag'd by firm decree, That as thy days, thy strength shall be. 3 Thy faith is weak, thy foes are strong; And though the conflict should be long, Thy Lord will make the tempter flee; for as thy days, thy strength shall be. 4 Should persecution rage and flame, Still trust in thy Redeemer's name; In fiery trials thou shalt see, That as thy days, thy strength shall be, 5 When call'd to bear the weighty cross, Of sore affliction, pain or loss, Or deep distress, or poverty, Still as thy days, thy strength shall be. 6 When ghastly death appears in view, Christ's presence shall thy fears subdue; he comes to set thy spirit free, And as thy days, thy strength shall be.

An awakened sinner lamenting his past security

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Alas, alas how blind I've been Lyrics: 1 Alas! alas how blind I've been, How little of myself I've seen! Sprotive I sail'd the sensual tide, Thoughtless of God whom I defy'd. 2 I heard of heav'n, I heard of hell, Where bliss and woe eternal dwell; But mock'd the threats of truth divine, And scorn'd the place where angels shine. 3 My angry heart refus'd the blood Of a descending, suffering God; And guilty passion boldly broke The holy law which heav'n had spoke. 4 Th' alluring world control'd my choice, When conscience spoke, I hush'd its voice, Securely laugh'd along the road, Which hapless millions first had trod. 5 Now the almighty God comes near, And makes me shake with awful fear; His terrors all my strength exhaust, My fear grows high, my peace is lost. 6 With keen remorse I feel my wound, And seem to hear the dreadful sound, "Depart from me, thou wretch undone, Go reap thy sin, and fell my frown." 7 Thus ends my mirthful thoughtless life, Fill'd up with folly, guilt and strife; Perhaps I sink to endless pain, Nor hear the voice of joy again.

Our lives to Satan how enslav'd, How obstinate our will! 2 And can such sinners be restor'd, Such rebels reconcil'd! Can grace sufficient means afford To make the foe a child! 3 Yes, grace has sound the wond'rous means Which shall effectual prove; To cleanse us from our countless sins, And teach our hearts to love. 4 Jesus for us a ransom paid, And dy'd that we might live; His blood a full atonement made, And cr'd aloud, FORGIVE. 5 Yet one thing more mus grace provide, To bring us home to God; Or we shall slight the Lord, who dy'd, And trample on his blood. 6 The holy Spirit must reveal The Saviour's work and worth: Then the hard heart begins to feel A new and heav'nly birth. 7 Thus bought with blood, and born again, Redeem'd and sav'd by grace; Rebels in God's own house obtain A son's and daughters place.

How strong my foes and fears! 3 O gracious God, in whom I live, My feeble efforts aid, Help me to watch, and pray, and strive, Though trembling and afraid. 4 Increase my faith, increase my hope, When foes and fears prevail; And bear my fainting spirit up, Or soon my strength will fail. 5 When'er temptations fright my heart, Or lure my feet aside, My God, thy pow'rful aid impart, Nor cease to be my guide. 6 O keep me in thy heav'nly way, And bid the tempter flee; And let me never, never stray From happiness and thee.
