How sad our state by nature is

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 289 hymnals Topics: After Sermon Lyrics: 1 How sad our state by nature is! Our sin, how deep it stains! And satan binds our captive souls Fast in his slavish chains. 2 But there's a voice of sov'reign grace Sounds from GOD's sacred word; "Ho! ye despairing sinners, come "And trust upon the LORD." 3 O may we hear th' Almighty call, And run to this relief; We would believe thy promise, LORD, O! help our unbelief. 4 To the blest fountain of thy blood, Teach us, O LORD! to fly: There may me wash my spotted souls From crimes of deepest dye! 5 Stretch out thine arm, victorious King, Our reigning sins subdue, Drive the old dragon from his seat, And form our souls anew. 6 Poor, guilty, weak and helpless worms, On thy kind arm we fall; Be thou our strength and righteousness, Our JESUS and our All. Scripture: Zechariah 13:1

The Mysteries of Providence

Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: Lord how mysterious are thy ways Lyrics: 1 Lord how mysterious are thy ways! How blind are we, how mean our praise! Thy steps can mortal eyes explore! Tis ours to wonder and adore! 2 Thy deep decrees from creature sight Are hid in shades of awful night; Amid, the lines, with curious eye, Nor angels-minds presume to pry. 3 Great God! I would not ask to see What in futurity shall be; If light and bliss attend my days, Then let my future hours be praise. 4 Is darkness and distress my share? Then let me trust thy guardian care Enough for me, if love divine At length thro' every cloud shall shine. 5 Yet this my soul desires to know, Be this my only wish below; That Christ is mine this great request Grant, bounteous God; and I am blest.

Thy patience, pity, tenderness, Which I each moment prove! 2 O LORD, how faithless is my heart, How apt to turn aside; And wander in its own deceits, Of reasoning and pride! 3 Yet, dearest Saviour, love me still, The poorest, and the worst; For well I know where sin abounds, Thy grace abounds the most. 4 Yet let me not thy grace abuse, And sin because thou'rt good; But let thy love fill me with shame, That I thy love withstood. 5 On me, my King, exert thy pow'r, Make old things pass away, Create all new, and draw me still, Still nearer ev'ry day. 6 I thank and praise thee, dearest LORD, For all that thou hast done: O take me to thee as I am, For thy redeemed one.

The Sinner converted

Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: Oft I reflect upon thy grace Lyrics: 1 Oft I reflect upon thy grace, With tears of thankfulness, Which call'd me from my native place, The world's wide wilderness. 2 My precious time I vainly spent, Subject to nature's sway; My corrupt, carnal will was bent Its motion to obey. 3 Thick darkness overspread my mind, I stumbled in the night, All my affections were inclin'd To creaturely delight. 4 God saw me in this wretched case, A slave to base desire; And, by an act of special grace, The brand pluck'd from the fire. 5 O may a sense of mercies past, Stir up my soul to praise; And whet my appetite to taste, Thy larger draughts of grace.
