My God, Thy boundless love I praise

Appears in 141 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, Thy boundless love I praise, How bright on high its glories blaze, How sweetly bloom below! It streams from thy eternal throne; Through heaven its joys forever run, And o'er the earth they flow. 2 It robes in cheerful green the ground, And pours its flowery beauties round, Whose sweets perfume the gale; Its bounties richly spread the plain, The blushing fruit, the golden grain, And smile on every vale. 3 But in Thy gospel see it shine With grace and glories more divine, Proclaiming sins forgiven, There faith, bright cherub, points the way To realms of everlasting day, And opens all her heaven. 4 Then let the love that makes me blest, With cheerful praise inspire my breast, And ardent gratitude; And all my thoughts and passions tend To thee, my Father and my Friend, My soul's eternal good.

Say, sinner, hath a voice within

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 231 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Say, sinner, hath a voice within Oft whisper'd to thy secret soul, Urged thee to leave the ways of sin, And yield thy heart to God’s control? 2 Sinner, it was a heavenly voice— It was the Spirit’s gracious call; It bade thee make the better choice, And haste to seek in Christ thine all. 3 Spurn not the call to life and light; Regard in time the warning kind; That call thou may'st not always slight, And yet the gate of mercy find. 4 God’s Spirit will not always strive With harden'd, self-destroying man; Ye, who persist His love to grieve, May never hear His voice again.

Broad is the road that leads to death

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 463 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Broad is the road that leads to death, And thousands walk together there; But wisdom shows a narrower path, With here and there a traveller. 2 "Deny thyself, and take thy cross," Is the Redeemer’s great command; Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain this heavenly land. 3 The fearful soul that tires and faints, And walks the ways of God no more, Is but esteem'd almost a saint, And makes his own destruction sure. 4 Lord, let not all my hopes be vain; Create my heart entirely new; Which hypocrites could ne’er attain, And unbelievers never knew. Topics: Gospel Call; Gospel the call of; Self-Denial; Unbelief; The narrow way

Lamb of God, for sinners slain

Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God for sinners slain, To Thee I humbly pray: Heal me of my grief and pain, Oh, take my sins away. From this bondage, Lord, release; No longer let me be opprest; Jesus, Master, seal my peace, And take me to Thy breast! 2 Wilt Thou cast a sinner out Who humbly comes to Thee? No, my God, I cannot doubt: Thy mercy is for me: Let me then obtain the grace, And be of paradise possest: Jesus, Master, seal my peace, And take me to Thy breast! 3 Worldly good I do not want, Be that to others given; Only for Thy love I pant, My all in earth or heaven; This the crown I fain would seize, The good wherewith I would be blest; Jesus, Master, seal my peace, And take me to Thy breast! 4 This delight I fain would prove, And then resign my breath: Join the happy few whose love Was mightier than death. Let it not my Lord displease, That I would die to be His guest: Jesus, Master, seal my peace, And take me to Thy breast!

Thou didst hang upon the tree

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou didst hang upon the tree, Our curse and suffering to remove, Pity the souls that look to Thee, And save us by Thy dying love. 2 Canst Thou reject our dying prayer, Or cast us out who come to Thee? Our sins, ah! wherefore did'st Thou bear? Jesus, remember Calvary! 3 For us wast Thou not lifted up? For us a bleeding victim made, That we, vile sinners, we might hope Thou hast for all a ransom paid? 4 Oh, might we, with believing eyes, Thee in Thy bloody vesture see! And cast us on thy sacrifice: Jesus, my Lord, remember me! Topics: Contrition; Conviction; Forgiveness Of Sin; Pardon; Repentance

'Tis by the faith of joys to come

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 300 hymnals 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.

And all my hopes decline. 4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only trust; And still my soul would cleave to Thee, Though prostrate in the dust.

The man is ever blest

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Lyrics: 1 That one is ever blest Who shuns the sinners’ ways, Among their councils never stands, Nor takes a scorner's place. 2 But makes the law of God His study and delight, Amidst the labors of the day And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root: Fresh as the leaf, his name shall live, His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so th'ungodly race, They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before the judgment-seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves The way the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow.

Oh, mean may seem this house of clay

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, mean may seem this house of clay-- Yet 'twas the Lord's abode; Our feet may mourn this thorny way, Yet here Emmanuel trod. 2 This fleshly robe the Lord did wear, This watch the Lord did keep, These burdens sore the Lord did bear, These tears the Lord did weep. 3 This world the Master overcame, This death the Lord did die; O vanquish'd world! O glorious shame! O hallow'd agony! 4 O vale of tears, no longer sad, Wherein the Lord did dwell! O holy robe of flesh, that clad Our own Immanuel! 5 Our very frailty brings us near Unto the Lord of heaven; To every grief, to every tear, Such glory strange is given.
