Waiting for Help

Author: Berridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: My business lies at Jesus' gate Lyrics: 1 My business lies at Jesus’ gate, Where many a Lazar comes; And here I sue, and here I wait For mercy’s falling crumbs. 2 My rags and wounds my wants proclaim, And help from him implore; The wounds do witness I am lame, The rags that I am poor. 3 The Lord, I hear, the hungry feeds, And cheereth souls distressed; He loves to bind up broken reeds, And heal a bleeding breast. 4 His name is Jesus, full of grace, Which draws me to his door; And will not Jesus show his face, And bring his gospel store? 5 Supplies of every grace I want, And each day want supply; And if no grace the Lord will grant, I must lie down and die.

Bright Was the Guiding Star That Led

Author: Harriet Auber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Bright was the guiding star that led, With mild, benignant ray, The Gentiles to the lowly shed, Where the Redeemer lay. 2. But lo! a brighter, clearer, light Now points to His abode; It shines, through sin and sorrow’s night, To guide us to our God. 3. Oh! haste to follow where it leads The gracious call obey; Be rugged wilds, or flowery meads, The Christian’s destined way. 4. Oh! gladly tread the narrow path, While light and grace are given; Who meekly follow Christ on earth Shall reign with Him in Heaven. Used With Tune: ST. ETHELDREDA Text Sources: Spirit of the Psalms, 1829

How Helpless Guilty Nature Lies

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 233 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How helpless guilty nature lies, Unconscious of its load! The heart, unchanged, can never rise To happiness and God. 2. Can aught, beneath a power divine, The stubborn will subdue? ’Tis Thine, almighty Spirit! Thine, To form the heart anew. 3. ’Tis Thine, the passions to recall, And upward bid them rise; To make the scales of error fall From reason’s darkened eyes; 4. To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live; A beam of Heaven, a vital ray, ’Tis Thine alone to give. 5. O change these wretched hearts of ours, And give them life divine; Then shall our passions and our powers Almighty Lord! be Thine. Used With Tune: BEMERTON (Greatorex) Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760

Fools in Their Heart Believe and Say

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Fools in their heart believe and say, That all religion’s vain; There is no God that reigns on high, Or minds th’affairs of men. 2. From thoughts so dreadful and profane, Corrupt discourse proceeds; And in their impious hands are found Abominable deeds. 3. The Lord from His celestial throne Looked down on things below, To find the man that sought His grace, Or did His justice know. 4. By nature all are gone astray, Their practice all the same; There’s none that fears his maker’s hand; There’s none that loves His name. 5. Their tongues are used to speak deceit, Their slanders never cease; How swift to mischief are their feet, Nor know the paths of peace! 6. Such seeds of sin—that bitter root— In every heart are found; Nor can they bear diviner fruit Till grace refine the ground. Used With Tune: EVAN Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
