Vain, delusive world, adieu

Hymnal: BW1870 #415 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Vain, delusive world, adieu, With all of creature good! Only Jesus I pursue, Who bought me with His blood: All thy pleasures I forego; I trample on thy wealth and pride; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus, crucified. 2 Other knowledge I disdain; 'Tis all but vanity: Christ, the Lamb of God, was slain,-- He tasted death for me. Me to save from endless woe The sin-atoning Victim died: Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus, crucified. 3 Him to know is life and peace, And pleasure without end; This is all my happiness, On Jesus to depend; Daily in His grace to grow, And ever in His faith abide; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus, crucified.

I send the joys of earth away

Hymnal: BW1870 #416 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I send the joys of earth away; Away, ye tempters of the mind, False as the smooth, deceitful sea, And empty as the whistling wind. 2 Your streams were floating me along Down the gulf of dark despair, And whilst I listen'd to your song, Your streams had e’en conveyed me there. 3 Lord, I adore Thy matchless grace, That warn'd me of that dark abyss, That drew me from those treacherous seas, And bade me seek superior bliss. 4 There, from the bosom of my God, Oceans of endless pleasure roll; There would I fix my last abode, And drown the sorrows of my soul.

What thousands never knew the road!

Hymnal: BW1870 #417 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What thousands never knew the road! What thousands hate it when 'tis known! None but the upright and sincere Will seek or choose it for their own. 2 A thousand ways in ruin end, One only leads to joys on high; By that my willing steps ascend, Pleased with a journey to the sky. 3 No more I ask, or hope to find Delight or happiness below; Sorrow may well possess the mind That feeds where thorns and thistles grow. 4 The joy that fades is not for me, I seek immortal joys above; There glory, without end, shall be The bright reward of faith and love.

God of mercy! God of grace!

Hymnal: BW1870 #418 (1870) Lyrics: 1 God of mercy! God of grace! Hear our penitential songs; Oh, restore Thy suppliant race, Thou to whom our praise belongs! 2 Deep regret for follies past, Talents wasted, time misspent; Hearts debased by worldly cares, Thankless for the blessings lent; 3 Foolish fears and fond desires; Vain regrets for things as vain; Lips too seldom taught to praise, Oft to murmur and complain; 4 These, and ev'ry secret fault, Fill'd with grief and shame, we own; Humbled at Thy feet we lie, Seeking pardon from Thy throne.

With tears of anguish I lament

Hymnal: BW1870 #419 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 With tears of anguish I lament, Here at Thy feet, my God, My passion, pride, and discontent, And vile ingratitude. 2 Sure there was ne'er a heart so base, So false as mine has been: So faithless to its promises, So prone to every sin! 3 How long, dear Saviour, shall I feel These strugglings in my breast? When wilt Thou bow my stubborn will, And give my conscience rest? 4 Break, sov'reign Grace, oh, break the charm, And set the captive free: Reveal, Almighty God, Thine arm, And haste to rescue me.

And shall a pardon'd rebel live To speak Thy wondrous love? 4 Almighty grace, Thy healing power, How glorious, how divine! That can to bliss and life restore So vile a heart as mine. 5 Thy pard'ning love, so free, so sweet, Dear Saviour, I adore: Oh, keep me at Thy sacred feet, And let me rove no more.

Thou Lord of all above

Poor, weak, and worthless though I am

Hymnal: BW1870 #422 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Poor, weak, and worthless though I am, I have a rich almighty friend; Jesus, the Saviour, is His name, He freely loves, and without end. 2 He ransom'd me from hell with blood, And, by His power, my foes controll'd; He found me wand'ring far from God, And brought me to His chosen fold. 3 But, ah! my inmost spirit mourns; And well my eyes with tears may swim, To think of my perverse returns: I’ve been a faithless friend to Him. 4 Often my gracious Friend I grieve, Neglect, distrust, and disobey; And often Satan’s lies believe Sooner than all my Friend can say. 5 Sure, were I not most vile and base, I could not thus my Friend requite! And were not He the God of grace, He'd frown and spurn me from his sight. Topics: Backsliding; Christians their life and experience; Confession of Sin; Forgiveness Of Sin; Pardon Languages: English

My hope, my portion, and my God

Hymnal: BW1870 #423 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My hope, my portion, and my God, How little art Thou known By all the judgments of Thy rod, And blessings of Thy throne! 2 How cold and feeble is my love! How negligent my fear! How low my hope of joys above! How few affections there! 3 Great God! Thy gracious aid impart To give Thy word success; Write Thy salvation in my heart, That I may learn Thy grace. 4 Show my forgetful feet the way That leads to joys on high: There knowledge grows without decay, And love shall never die.

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Hymnal: BW1870 #424 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be: Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Saviour, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like man, untrue: And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends may scorn me; Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. Oh! 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; Oh! 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmix'd with Thee. 4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find, in every station, Something still to do or bear: Think what Spirit dwells within thee! What a Father's smile is thine! What a Saviour died to win thee? Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?
