My God! permit me not to be

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 343 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God! permit me not to be A stranger to myself and Thee: Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove, Forgetful of my highest love. 2 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth? Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Saviour, go? 3 Call me away from flesh and sense; Thy sovereign word can draw me thence: I would obey the Voice divine, And all inferior joys resign.

O for a principle within

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 224 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for a principle within Of jealous godly fear; O for a tender dread of sin, A pain to feel it near. 2 That I from Thee no more may part, No more Thy goodness grieve, The filial awe, the loving heart, The tender conscience give. 3 Quick as the apple of an eye, O God, my conscience make; Awake my soul when sin is nigh, And keep it still awake. 4 If to the right or left I stray, That moment, Lord, reprove; Nor let me wander far away, Nor ever grieve Thy Love. 5 O may the least omission pain My well-instructed soul; And drive me to that Blood again, Which makes the wounded whole.

O Morning Star! how fair and bright

Author: Miss Winkworth; Philip Nicolai Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Morning Star! how fair and bright Thou beamest forth in truth and light! O Sov'reign meek and lowly, Thou Root of Jesse, David's Son, My Lord and Bridegroom, thou hast won My heart to serve Thee solely! Holy art Thou, Fair and glorious, All victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o'er all possessing. 2 Thou Heavenly Brightness! Light Divine! O deep within my heart now shine, And make Thee there an altar! Fill me with joy and strength to be Thy member, ever joined to Thee In love that cannot falter; Toward Thee longing Doth possess me, Turn and bless me, For Thy gladness Eye and heart here pine in sadness. 3 But if Thou look on me in love, There straightway falls from God above A ray of purest pleasure; Thy Word and Spirit, Flesh and Blood, Refresh my soul with heavenly food, Thou art my hidden treasure; Let Thy grace, Lord, Warm and cheer O draw near me; Thou hast taught us Thee to seek since Thou hast sought us! 4 Here will I rest, and hold it fast, The Lord I love is First and Last, The End as the Beginning! Here I can calmly die, for Thou Wilt raise me where Thou dwellest now, Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus, Soon release us, With deep yearning, Lord, we look for Thy returning.
