Awake, our souls, away, our fears

Hymnal: BW1870 #85 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls, away, our fears, Let every trembling thought be gone; Awake and run the heavenly race, And put a cheerful courage on. 2 True, ’tis a straight and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God, Who feeds the strength of every saint. 3 The mighty God, Whose matchless power Is ever new and ever young; Shall firm endure while endless years Their everlasting circles run. 4 From Thee, the over-flowing spring, Our souls shall drink a fresh supply; While such as trust their native strength, Shall melt away, and droop and die. 5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air, We’ll mount aloft to Thine abode; On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire amidst the heavenly road.

O God of Jacob, by whose hand

Hymnal: BW1870 #86 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God of Jacob, by whose hand Thy people still are fed; Who, through this weary pilgrimage, Hast all our fathers led! 2 To Thee our humble vows we raise, To Thee address our prayer; And in Thy kind and faithful breast Deposit all our care. 3 Through each perplexing path of life Our wandering footsteps guide; Give us each day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide. 4 Oh, spread Thy covering wings around, Till all our wanderings cease, And at our Father's loved abode Our souls arrive in peace! 5 To Thee, as to our cov'nant God, We'll our whole selves resign; And thankful own that all we are, And all we have, is Thine.

Shine on our souls, eternal God!

Hymnal: BW1870 #87 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Shine on our souls, eternal God! With rays of beauty shine; Oh, let Thy favor crown our days, And their whole course be Thine. 2 Did we not raise our hands to Thee, Our hands might toil in vain: Small joy success itself could give, If Thou Thy love restrain. 3 'Tis ours the furrows to prepare, And sow the precious grain: 'Tis Thine to give the sun and air, And to command the rain. 4 With Thee let every week begin, With Thee each day be spent, For Thee each fleeting hour improved, Since each by Thee is lent. 5 Thus cheer us through this toilsome road Till all our labors cease; And heaven refresh our weary souls With everlasting peace.

Lord, I would spread my sore distress

Hymnal: BW1870 #88 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, I would spread my sore distress And guilt before Thine eyes; Against Thy laws, against Thy grace, How high my crimes arise! 2 I from the stock of Adam came, Unholy and unclean; All my original is shame, And all my nature sin. 3 Cleanse me, O Lord, and cheer my soul With Thy forgiving love; And make my broken spirit whole, And bid my pains remove. 4 Let not Thy spirit e'er depart, Nor drive me from Thy face; Create anew my sinful heart, And fill it with Thy grace.

Deep in the dust before Thy throne

Hymnal: BW1870 #89 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Deep in the dust before Thy throne, Our guilt and our disgrace we own; Great God! we own the unhappy name Whence sprang our nature and our shame. 2 But whilst our spirits, filled with awe, Behold the terrors of Thy law, We sing the honors of Thy grace, That sent to save our ruin'd race. 3 We sing Thine everlasting Son, Who join'd our nature to His own; The second Adam, from the dust Raises the ruins of the first. 4 Where sin did reign, and death abound, There have the sons of Adam found Abounding life; there glorious grace Reigns through the Lord our righteousness.

Buried in shadows of the night

Hymnal: BW1870 #90 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Buried in shadows of the night, We lie till Christ restores the light; Wisdom descends to heal the blind, And chase the darkness of the mind. 2 Our very frame is mix'd with sin; His Spirit makes our natures clean; Such virtues from His suff'rings flow, At once to cleanse and pardon too. 3 Jesus beholds where Satan reigns, Binding his slaves in heavy chains; He sets the prisoners free, and breaks The iron bondage from our necks. 4 Poor, helpless worms in Thee possess Grace, wisdom, power and righteousness; Thou art our mighty all, and we Give our whole selves, O Lord, to Thee.

Sin has a thousand treacherous arts

Hymnal: BW1870 #91 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Sin has a thousand treacherous arts To practise on the mind; With flatt'ring looks she tempts our hearts, But leaves a sting behind. 2 With names of virtue she deceives The aged and the young; And while the heedless wretch believes, She makes his fetters strong. 3 She pleads for all the joys she brings, And gives a fair pretence; But cheats the soul of heavenly things, And chains it down to sense. 4 So on a tree divinely fair Grew the forbidden food; Our mother took the poison there, And tainted all her blood.

Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I

Hymnal: BW1870 #92 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I, To mourn, and murmur, and repine To see the wicked placed on high, In pride and robes of honor shine! 2 But, oh, their end, their dreadful end! Thy sanctuary taught me so; On slipp'ry rocks I see them stand, And fiery billows roll below. 3 Their fancied joys, how fast they flee! Like dreams, as fleeting and as vain, Their songs of softest harmony Are but a prelude to their pain. 4 Now I esteem their mirth and wine Too dear to purchase with my blood; Lord, ’tis enough that Thou art mine, My life, my portion and my God.

Amazing grace!--how sweet the sound

Hymnal: BW1870 #93 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace!--how sweet the sound-- That saved a soul like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. 2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, 'Twas grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed! 3 Full many a danger, toil, and snare My soul has overcome; 'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 4 And when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the veil A life of joy and peace.

Grace! 'tis a charming sound

Hymnal: BW1870 #94 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Grace! 'tis a charming sound, Harmonious to the ear; Heaven with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear. 2 Grace first contrived the way To save rebellious man; And all the steps that grace display Which drew the wondrous plan. 3 Grace led my roving feet To tread the heavenly road; And new supplies each hour I meet, While pressing on to God. 4 Grace taught my soul to pray, And made my eyes o'erflow: 'Twas grace which kept me to this day, And will not let me go. 5 Grace all the work shall crown, Through everlasting days; It lays in heaven the topmost stone, And well deserves the praise.
