O that I could forever dwell

Author: Andrew Reed Appears in 101 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O that I could forever dwell Delighted at my Saviour's feet, Behold the form I love so well, And all his tender words repeat! 2 The world shut out from all my soul, And heaven brought in with all its bliss, O, is there aught, from pole to pole, One moment to compare with this? 3 This is the hidden life I prize, A life of penitential love; When most my follies I despise, And raise my highest thoughts above; 4 When all I am I clearly see, And freely own, with deepest shame; When the Redeemer's love to me Kindles within a deathless flame. 5 Thus would I live till nature fail, And all my former sins forsake; Then rise to God within the vail, And of eternal joys partake.

O that my load of sin were gone!

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 447 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O that my load of sin were gone! O that I could at last submit At Jesus' feet to lay it down To lay my all at Jesus' feet! 2 Rest for my soul I long to find; Saviour of all, if mine thou art, Give me thy meek and lowly mind, And stamp thine image on my heart. 3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin, And fully set my spirit free; I cannot rest till pure within, Till I am wholly lost in thee. 4 Fain would I learn of thee, my God; Thy light and easy burden prove, The cross all stained with hallowed blood, The labor of thy dying love. 5 I would, but thou must give the power; My heart from every sin release; Bring near, bring near the joyful hour, And fill me with thy perfect peace.

O thou who hearest when sinners cry

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 344 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou that hearest when sinners cry, Though all my crimes before thee lie, Behold me not with angry look, But blot their memory from thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin; Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Nor hide thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without thy light, Cast out and banished from thy sight; Thy holy joys, my God, restore, And guard me, that I fall no more. 4 Though I have grieved thy Spirit, Lord, His help and comfort still afford; And let a sinner seek thy throne; To plead the merits of thy Son.

Once more before we part

Author: Joseph Hart Appears in 304 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once more before we part, We'll bless the Saviour's name; Record his mercies, every heart; Sing, every tongue, the same. 2 Lord, in thy grace we came, Thy blessing still impart; We met in Jesus' sacred name, In Jesus' name we part. 3 May we receive his word, And feed thereon, and grow; Go on to seek and know the Lord, And practice what we know. 4 Soon shall we hear him say, "Ye blessed children, come!" Soon will he call us hence away To our eternal home. 5 There shall each raptured tongue His endless praise proclaim, And sweeter voices tune the song Of Moses and the Lamb.

Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed

Author: Harriet Auber Appears in 568 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed His tender, last farewell, A guide, a Comforter, bequeathed, With us on earth to dwell. 2 He came in tongues of living flame, To teach, convince, subdue; All-powerful as the wind he came, And all as viewless, too. 3 He comes sweet influence to impart, A gracious, willing guest, While he can find one humble heart Wherein to fix his rest. 4 And his that gentle voice we hear, Soft as the breath of even, That checks each fault, calms every fear, And whispers thoughts of heaven. 5 Abd every virtue we possess, And every virtue won, And every thought of holiness Is his, and his alone.

Praise ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise Our hearts and voices in his praise; His nature and his works invite To make this duty our delight. 2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem, And gathers nations to his name; His mercy melts the stubborn soul, And makes the broken spirit whole. 3 He formed the stars, those heavenly flames, He counts their numbers, calls their names: His wisdom's vast, and knows no bound, A deep, where all our thoughts are drowned. 4 Great is the Lord, and great his might, And all his glories infinite; He crowns the meek, rewards the just, And treads the wicked to the dust. 5 But saints are lovely in his sight; He views his children with delight; He sees their hope, he knows their fear, And looks, and loves his image there. 6 Proclaim him King, pronounce him blest, He's your defense, your joy, your rest: When terrors rise and nations faint, God is the strength of every saint.
