Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Glory to God #440 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Scripture: Romans 7:15-25 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
till the storm of life is past.
Safe into the haven guide.
O receive my soul at last!
2 Other refuge have I none;
hangs my helpless soul on thee.
Leave, ah! leave me not alone;
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed;
all my help from thee I bring.
Cover my defenseless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
more than all in thee I find.
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name;
I am all unrighteousness.
False and full of sin I am;
thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin.
Let the healing streams abound;
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art;
freely let me take of thee.
Spring thou up within my heart.
Rise to all eternity.

Author: Robert Robinson (1735-1790) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #354 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Romans 7:15-25 Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious measure,
sung by flaming tongues above;
O the vast, the boundless treasure
of my God's unchanging love.
2 Here I make faith's affirmation:
thus far by thy help I've come,
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
take my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above. Topics: Lent (season); Praise of God; Salvation/Redemption Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON

Interposed his precious blood.

Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it;
Seal it for thy courts above.

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Glory to God #366 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Romans 7:24-25 Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling;
all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion;
pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation;
enter every trembling heart.
2 Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit
into every troubled breast;
let us all in thee inherit;
let us find the promised rest.
Take away the love of sinning;
Alpha and Omega be;
end of faith, as its beginning,
set our hearts at liberty.
3 Come, Almighty, to deliver;
let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray, and praise thee without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
4 Finish then thy new creation;
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee:
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise.

cleansed and redeemed, no debt to pay;
for by thy cross absolved I am
from sin and guilt, from fear and shame.
3 Lord, I believe thy precious blood,
which at the mercy seat of God
pleads for the captives' liberty,
was also shed in love for me.
4 Lord, I believe were sinners more
than sands upon the ocean shore,
thou hast for all a ransom paid,
for all a full atonement made.

Oh, that my load of sin were gone
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #422 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Romans 7:24 Lyrics: 1 Oh, that my load of sin were gone,
Oh, that I could at last submit
At Jesus' feet to lay it down,
To lay my soul at Jesus' feet!
2 Rest for my soul I long to find;
Saviour of all, if mine thou art,
Give me thy meek and lowly mind,
And stamp thine image on my heart.
3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin,
And fully set my spirit free;
I can not rest till pure within,
Till I am wholly lost in thee.
4 Fain would I learn of thee, my God;
Thy light and easy burden prove,
The cross all stained with hallowed blood,
The labor of thy dying love.
5 I would, but thou must give the power,
My heart from every sin release;
Bring near, bring near the joyful hour,
And fill me with thy perfect peace. Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith; The Slavery of Sin

And vile ingratitude.

So false as mine hath been,
So faithless to its promises,
So prone to every sin!

Are holy, just, and true;
Tells me whate'er my God demands
Is his most righteous due.

And all her words approve;
But still I find it hard t' obey,
And harder yet to love.

These strugglings in my breast?
When wilt thou bow my stubborn will,
And give my conscience rest?

The law proclaims destruction nigh,
And vengeance at the door.

But hark! a friendly whisper says,
Flee from the wrath to come.

A glimmering from afar,
A beam of day that shines for me,
To save me from despair.

Hymn 115
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.115 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Romans 7:8-9 First Line: Lord, how secure my conscience was Lyrics:
Lord, how secure my conscience was,
And felt no inward dread!
I was alive without the law,
And thought my sins were dead.
My hopes of heav'n were firm and bright,
But since the precept came
With a convincing power and light,
I find how vile I am.
[My guilt appeared but small before,
Till terribly I saw
How perfect, holy, just, and pure,
Was thine eternal law.
Then felt my soul the heavy load,
My sins revived again
I had provoked a dreadful God,
And all my hopes were slain.]
I'm like a helpless captive, sold
Under the power of sin
I cannot do the good I would,
Nor keep my conscience clean.
My God, I cry with every breath
For some kind power to save,
To break the yoke of sin and death,
And thus redeem the slave.

Once I thought my mountain strong
Author: Newton Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #659 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Scripture: Romans 7:9 Lyrics: 1 Once I thought my mountain strong,
Firmly fixed no more to move;
Then my Saviour was my song,
Then my soul was filled with love:
Those were happy, golden days,
Sweetly spent in prayer and praise.
2 Little then myself I knew,
Little thought of Satan's power;
Now I feel my sins renew,
Now I feel the stormy hour:
Sin has put my joys to flight,
Sin has turned my day to night.
3 Saviour, shine and cheer my soul,
Bid my dying hopes revive,
Make my wounded spirit whole,
Far away the tempter drive:
Speak the word and set me free,
Let me live alone to thee. Topics: The Christian Life Declension and Renewal; For Renewal

We find no comfort there.
2 Not all our groans and tears,
Nor works which we have done,
Nor vows, nor promises, nor prayers,
Can e'er for sin atone.
3 Relief alone is found
In Jesus' precious blood:
'Tis this that heals the mortal wound,
And reconciles to God.

The spotless victim dies:
This is salvation's only source,
Hence all our hopes arise. Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings; None Other Name under Heaven

I would, but cannot pray;
For satan meets me when I try,
And frights my soul away.
2 I would, but can't repent,
Tho' I endeavour oft;
This stony heart can ne'er relent
Till Jesus makes it soft.
3 I would, but cannot love,
Tho' woo'd by love divine;
No arguments have pow'r to move
A soul so base as mine.
4 I would, but cannot rest
In God's most holy will;
I know what he appoints is best,
Yet murmur at it still.
5 O could I but believe!
Then all would easy be;
I would but cannot – Lord, relieve:
My help must come from thee.
6 But if indeed I would,
Tho' I can nothing do;
Yet the desire is something good,
For which my praise is due.

'Till thine appointed hour,
I was as destitute of will,
As now I am of power.

The work thou hast begun?
And with a will, afford me strength,
In all thy ways to run.
