And shall we still be slaves

Hymnal: BW1870 #355 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And shall we still be slaves, And in our fetters lie, When summon'd by a voice divine T'assert our liberty? 2 Did the great Saviour bleed, Our freedom to obtain? And shall we trample on His blood, And glory in our chain? 3 Shall we go on to sin, Because Thy grace abounds; Or crucify the Lord again, And open all His wounds? 4 Forbid it, mighty God! Nor let it e'er be said, That those for whom Thy Son has died, In vice are lost and dead. 5 The man that durst despise The law that Moses brought, Behold! how terribly he dies For his presumptuous fault. 6 But sorer vengeance falls On that rebellious race, Who hate to hear when Jesus calls, And dare resist His grace.

A Father's hand will never cause His child a needless tear. 4 Our times are in Thy hand, Jesus, the Crucified: The hand our many sins have pierced, Is now our guard and guide. 5 Our times are in Thy hand: We'll always trust on Thee, Till we have left the weary land, And all Thy glory see.

Oh, for a faith that will not shrink

Hymnal: BW1870 #357 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a faith that will not shrink, Though press'd by ev'ry foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe!-- 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chast'ning rod, But, in the hour of grief or pain, Can lean upon its God;-- 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt;-- 4 That bears unmoved the world's dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That seas of trouble cannot drown, Nor Satan's arts beguile;-- 5 A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life's last spark is fled, And with a pure and heavenly ray Lights up a dying bed. 6 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate'er may come, We'll taste, e'en here, the hallow'd bliss Of an eternal home.

Jesus, Lover of my soul

Hymnal: BW1870 #358 (1870) 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 Saviour, hide, Ttill the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; Oh, 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 stay'd, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless 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.

Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss

Hymnal: BW1870 #359 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss, And saves me from its snares; Its aid in ev'ry duty brings, And softens all my cares; 2 Extinguishes the thirst of sin, And lights the sacred fire Of love to God and heavenly things, And feeds the pure desire. 3 The wounded conscience know its power The healing balm to give; That balm the saddest heart can cheer, And make the dying live. 4 Wide it unveils celestial worlds, Where deathless pleasures reign; And bids me seek my portion there, Nor bids me seek in vain: 5 Shows me the precious promise seal'd With my Redeemer's blood; And helps my feeble hope to rest Upon a faithful God. 6 There, there unshaken would I rest, 'Till this vile body dies, And then on faith's triumphant wings At once to glory rise.

'Tis by the faith of joys to come

Hymnal: BW1870 #360 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 ’Tis by the faith of joys to come We walk through deserts dark as night; Till we arrive at heaven our home, Faith is our guide, and faith our light. 2 The want of sight she well supplies; She makes the pearly gates appear; Far into distant worlds she pries, And brings eternal glories near. 3 Cheerful we tread the desert through, While faith inspires a heavenly ray, Though lions roar, and tempests blow, And rocks and dangers fill the way. 4 So Abra’m, by divine command, Left his own house to walk with God; His faith beheld the promised land, And cheer'd him on his toilsome road.

Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims

Hymnal: BW1870 #361 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims His various and His saving names; Oh, may they not be heard alone, But by our sure experience known. 2 Awake, our noblest powers, to bless The God of Abra'm, God of peace; Now by a dearer title known, Father and God of Christ His Son. 3 Through ev'ry age His gracious ear Is open to His servants' prayer; Nor can one humble soul complain That it hath sought its God in vain. 4 What unbelieving heart shall dare, In whispers to suggest a fear, While still He owns His ancient name, The same His power, His love the same. 5 To Thee our souls in faith arise, To Thee we lift expecting eyes, And boldly through the desert tread; For God will guard, where God shall lead.

Holy Father, Thou hast taught me

Hymnal: BW1870 #362 (1870) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Holy Father, Thou hast taught me I should live to Thee alone; Year by year, Thy hand hath brought me On through dangers oft unknown. When I wander'd, Thou hast found me; When I doubted, sent me light; Still Thine arm has been around me, All my paths were in Thy sight. 2 In the world will foes assail me, Craftier, stronger far than I; And the strife may never fail me, Well I know, before I die. Therefore, Lord, I come, believing Thou canst give the power I need; Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength--the Spirit’s strength, indeed. 3 I would trust in Thy protecting, Wholly rest upon Thine arm; Follow wholly Thy directing, Thou, mine only guard from harm! Keep me from mine own undoing, Help me turn to Thee when tried; Still my footsteps, Father, viewing, Keep me ever at Thy side.

Hymnal: BW1870 #363 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent word! What more can He say than to you He has said, Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled? 2 "In ev'ry condition--in sickness, in health, In poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth, At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea, As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be. 3 "Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismay'd; For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand. 4 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; For I will be near thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 5 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 6 "E'en down to old age, all My people shall prove My sov'reign, eternal, unchangeable love; And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. 7 "The soul that on Jesus hath lean'd for repose, I will not, I cannot desert to his foes: That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never--no, never--no, never forsake!"

Hymnal: BW1870 #364 (1870) Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour divine! Now hear me while I pray; Take all my guilt away; Oh, let me from this day Be wholly Thine! 2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire! As Thou hast died for me, Oh, may my love to Thee Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire! 3 While life’s dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my Guide; Bid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow’s tears away; Nor let me ever stray From Thee aside. 4 When ends life’s transient dream, When death’s cold sullen stream Shall o’er me roll; Blest Saviour, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; Oh, bear me safe above, A ransom'd soul!
