Where is the soul-refreshing view of Jesus and his word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void the world can never fill. 4 Return, O Holy Dove! return, sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made thee mourn, and drove thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, whate'er that idol be, help me to tear it from thy throne, and worship only thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, calm and serene my frame; so purer light shall mark the road that leads me to the Lamb.

Lord, how secure my conscience was

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 129 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my conscience was, And felt no inward dread! I was alive without the law, And thought my sins were dead. 2 My hopes of heaven were firm and bright: But since the precept came With a convincing power and light, I find how vile I am. 3 My guilt appeared but small before, Till terribly I saw How perfect, holy, just, and pure, Was thy eternal law. 4 Then felt my soul the heavy load, My sins revived again; I had provoked a dreadful God, And all my hopes were slain. 5 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.

From My Youth up, May Israel Say

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From my youth up, may Israel say, they oft have me assailed, reduced me oft to heavy straits, but never quite prevailed. 2 They oft have ploughed my patient back with furrows deep and long; but our just GOD has broke the chains, and rescued us from wrong. 3 Defeat, confusion, shameful rout, be still the doom of those, their righteous doom, who Zion hate, and Zion's God oppose. 4 Like corn upon our houses' tops, untimely let them fade, which too much heat, and want of root, has blasted in the blade, 5 Which in his arms no reaper takes, but unregarded leaves; nor binder thinks it worth his pains to fold it into sheaves. 6 No traveller that passes by, vouchsafes a minute's stop, to give it one kind look, or crave heav'n's blessing on the crop.

Where can a creature hide! Within Thy circling arms I lie, Beset on every side. 5 So let Thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove, To guard my soul from every ill, Secured by sovereign love.
