Too Many, Lord, Abuse Thy Grace

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Too many, Lord, abuse Thy grace, In this licentious day; And while they boast they see Thy face, They turn their own away. 2. Thy Book displays a gracious light That can the blind restore; But these are dazzled by the sight, And blinded still the more. 3. The pardon, such presume upon, They do not beg, but steal; And when they plead it at Thy throne, Oh! where’s the Spirit’s seal? 4. Was it for this, ye lawless tribe, The dear Redeemer bled? Is this the grace the saints imbibe From Christ the living Head? 5. Ah, Lord, we know Thy chosen few Are fed with heavenly fare; But these, the wretched husks they chew Proclaim them what they are. 6. The liberty our hearts implore Is not to live in sin; But still to wait at wisdom’s door, Till mercy calls us in. Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)

Was It Enough?

Author: Neil Barham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Was it enough, that God should die Lyrics: 1. Was it enough, that God should die To take away my sin? Enough to close the door of Hell, And stop my falling in? 2. Enough, that I be righteous found, Before His perfect view? Enough, that Christ’s own deeds be mine? Despite all I could do? 3. Enough that all my soul and mind Transformed within should be? Enough, my sin should be subdued, And God should live in me? 4. No! Not enough! More would He do! How deep His mercy runs: That I, a treas’nous wretch, should be Adopted as His son! 5. To wear His name, to feel His kiss, To lie in that embrace, What grand, mysterious gentleness Shines in my Father’s face! Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM

Should we accept that evil means

Author: Tom Colvin Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Should we accept that evil means will evil powers deter? Should we believe the howls of hate that cloud our lives with fear? 2 Enfold us in your love, Yesu, and we shall be secure, for we shall love our foes as friends and fear shall be no more. 3 Your perfect love, which drives out fear will all our lives control; in every deed and word we shall fulfill our servant-role. 4 To live by love shall be our aim; peace shall be ours to share. Our openness, our joy, our faith will show whose friends we are. 5 Love is the Way among us here through Christ the source of Peace. Let reconciling love in us now cause the wars to cease.

The Land Before Them, Where to Choose?

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The land before them, where to choose Lyrics: 1 The land before them, where to choose— They may not dwell at one— Lay far and wide, on either side, Beneath the morning sun. 2 Here homes of rest, like Eden dressed, And there, beyond the skies, The City stands not made with hands, Nor seen with mortal eyes. 3 Who pitched his tent where sinners went, Still keeps his spirit whole; Nor eye nor ear lets that way near, Defilement to the soul. 4 The Lord knows how the sainted brow To fence with holy shame, Sweet angel guest, unknown, but blest, To pull us from the flame. 5 Straight to his noon, with staff and shoon, The pilgrim climbs the hills; And see the star of Christ afar, Dim through the twilight’s chills. 6 There, like a pall, o’er field and wall, The furnace hangs its breath; And Jordan’s waves those cities’ graves Heap with a sea of death.

Lord, We Have Broke Thy Holy Laws

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, we have broke Thy holy laws, And slighted all Thy grace; And justly Thy vindictive wrath Might cast us from Thy face. 2 Yet while such precedents appear Marked in Thy sacred Book, We from these depths of guilt and fear Will to Thy temple look. 3 To Thee, in our Redeemer’s name, We raise our humble cries; May these our prayers, perfumed by Him, Like grateful incense rise. 4 O never may our hopeless eyes An absent God deplore, Where the dear temples of Thy love Shall stand revealed no more. 5 Far from those regions of despair Appoint our souls a place; Where not a frown thro’ endless years Shall veil Thy lovely face.
