Star of the East
The World's three chief Temptations
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man First Line: When in the light of faith divine Lyrics: 1 When in the light of faith divine
We look on things below,
Honor, and gold, and sensual joy,
How vain and dangerous too!
2 Honor's a puff of noisy breath;
Yet men expose their blood,
And venture everlasting deat
To gain that airy good.
3 Whilst others starve the nobler mind,
And feed on shining dust,
They rob the serpent of his food
T'indulge a sordid lust.
4 The pleasures that allure our sense
Are dangerous snares to souls;
There's but a drop of flattering sweet,
And dash'd with bitter bowls.
5 God is mine all-sufficient good,
My portion and my choice;
In him my vast desires are fill'd,
And all my powers rejoice.
6 In vain the world accosts my ear,
And tempts my heart anew;
I cannot buy your bliss so dear,
Nor part with heaven for you.

The End of the World
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man First Line: Why should this earth delight us so? Lyrics: 1 Why should this earth delight us so?
Why should we fix our eyes
On these low grounds where sorrows grow,
And every pleasure dies ?
2 While time his sharpest teeth prepares,
Our comforts to devour,
There is a land above the stars,
And joys above his power.
3 Nature shall be dissolv'd and die,
The sun must end his race,
The earth and sea for ever fly
Before the Savior's face.
4 When will that glorious morning rise?
When the last trumpet sound,
And call the nations to the skies,
From underneath the ground?
The End of the World
All that I was, my sin, my guilt
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Natural Depravity Lyrics: 1 All that I was, my sin, my guilt,
My death, was all my own;
All that I am, I owe to Thee,
My gracious God, alone.
2 The evil of my former state
Was mine, and only mine;
The good in which I now rejoice
Is Thine, and only Thine.
3 The darkness of my former state,
The bondage, all was mine;
The light of life, in which I walk,
The liberty, is Thine.
4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin,
It taught me to believe;
Then, in believing, peace I found,
And now I live, I live.
5 All that I am, even here on earth,
All that I hope to be
When Jesus comes and glory dawns,
I owe it, Lord, to Thee. Used With Tune: DOMINE CLAMAVI

The Fool Speaks in His Heart
How sad our State by Nature is!
Appears in 289 hymnals Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature Lyrics: 1 How sad our State by Nature is!
Our Sin how deep it stains!
And Satan binds our captive Minds
Fast in his slavish Chains.
2 But there's a Voice of Sov'reign Grace
Sounds from the sacred Word;
Ho! ye despairing Sinners, come,
And trust upon the Lord.
3 My Soul obeys th' Almighty Call,
And runs to this Relief;
I would believe thy Promise, Lord;
O! help my Unbelief.
[4 To the dear fountain of thy Blood,
Incarnate God! I fly;
Here let me wash my spotted Soul
From Crimes of deepest dye.
5 Stretch out thine Arm, victorious King
My reigning Sins subdue;
Drive the old Dragon from his Seat,
With all his hellish Crew.]
6 A guilty, weak, and helpless Worm,
On thy kind Arms I fall;
Be thou my Strength and Righteousness,
My Jesus, and my All.
How sad our State by Nature is!

What Tho' I Cannot Break My Chain
Author: Augustus Montague Toplady, 1740-1778 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Man Depravity of Lyrics: 1 What tho' I cannot break my chain
or e'er throw off my load,
the things impossible to men
are possible to God.
2 Who, who shall in thy presence stand,
or match Omnipotence;
unfold the grasp of thy right hand
and pluck the sinner thence?
3 Faith to be healed I fain would have,
O might it now be giv'n;
thou canst, thou canst the sinner save,
and make me meet for heav'n.
4 Bound down with twice ten thousand ties,
yet let me hear thy call;
my soul in confidence shall rise,
shall rise and break through all.
5 Thou canst o'ercome this heart of mine,
thou wilt victorious prove;
for everlasting strength is thine,
and everlasting love.
Scripture: Mark 10:26-27 Used With Tune: ARLINGTON
What Tho' I Cannot Break My Chain
Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 126 hymnals Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
To mourn, and murmur, and repine
To see the wicked plac'd on high,
In pride and robes of honour shine!
2 But oh their end, their dreadful end!
Thy sanctuary taught me so;
On slippery rocks I see them stand,
And fiery billows roll below.
3 Now let them boast how tall they rise,
I'll never envy them again:
There they may stand with haughty eyes,
Till they plunge deep in endless pain.
4 Their fancied joys, how fast they flee!
Just like a dream when man awakes;
Their songs of softest harmony
Are but a preface to their plagues.
5 Now I esteem their mirth and wine
Too dear to purchase with my blood;
Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine,
My life, my portion, and my God.
Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I
