An evening hymn

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXVIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Blest Lord, when darkness veils the skies Lyrics: 1 Blest Lord, when darkness veils the skies, Prevent the slumber of my eyes; Till bow'd before the king of kings, I ask myself the following things. 2 Where have I been, what have I done? To what new follies have I run? Have I observ'd each rising thought; And done the things which God hath taught? 3 Do secret thoughts and actions prove My love to God who reigns above? Do my affections rise on high, As days and nights successive fly? 4 Do I rejoice in that wise plan, Which governs all th' affairs of man? Gives life, and health, and joy, and rest, Or sends affliction when 'tis best? 5 And when God's holy law I hear, Does it alarm my heart with fear? Or does it sweetly rule within, And make me hate and fly from sin? 6 Lord, help me see and try my heart, And search me through in every part; Cleanse me from sin and warm my love, Thus fit me for the world above.

Chrstians endangered by the cares of the world

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CXCIV (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Bless'd Martha love and joy express'd Lyrics: 1 Bless'd Martha love and joy express'd, To entertain her heav'nly guest; While Mary, ravish'd with her Lord, Sat at his feet, and heard his word. 2 True love divine, in both the same, Let each to glorify his name; Each met her Lord with joyful heart, "But Mary chose the better part." 3 While one prepar'd her earthly bread, The other wanted to be fed; One toil'd with care to spread a feast, The other lean'd on Jesu's breast. 4 Both met the favor of their Lord, His grace for each prepar'd a word; While Mary drank full draughts of love, Grace, careful Martha, did reprove. 5 Thus Christians with the world are vex'd, Oft are encumber'd and perplex'd; Vain tribes so engross their thought, The one thing needful is forgot. 6 Teach us, dear Lord, that part to choose, Which through thy grace we ne'er shall lose; Then could we call the world our own, We'd leave it all to see thy throne.

May I not still approach thy throne, And Abba father cry? 4 Lord, speak a gracious word again, And cheer my drooping heart, No voice but thine can soothe my pain, Or bid my fears depart.

Contentment and patience from the example of Christ

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXVII (1799) First Line: By various maxims, forms, and rules Lyrics: 1 By various maxims, forms, and rules, That pass for wisdom in the schools, I strove my passion to refrain; But all my efforts prov'd in vain. 2 But since the Saviour I have known, My rules are all reduc'd to one; I keep my Lord by faith in view, Which strength supplies and motives too. 3 I see him lead a suff'ring life, Patient amidst reproach and strife; And from this pattern courage take To bear and suffer for his sake. 4 Upon the cross I see him bleed, And by the fight from guilt am freed; This fight destroys the life of sin, And quickens heav'nly life within. 5 To look to Jesus as he rose, Confirms my faith, disarms my foes; Satan I shame and overcome, By pointing to my Saviour's tomb. 6 Exalted on his glorious throne, I see him make my cause his own; Then all my anxious cares subside, For Jesus lives, and will provide.

The humble sinner trusting in Christ

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCLXXIV (1799) First Line: Cheer up, my soul, there is a mercy seat Lyrics: 1 Cheer up, my soul, there is a mercy seat, Sprinkled with blood, where Jesus answers pray'r; There humbly cast thyself beneath his feet, For never needy sinner perish'd there. 2 Lord, I am come! thy promise is my plea, Without thy word I durst not venture nigh; But thou hast call'd the burden'd soul to thee, A weary burden'd soul, O Lord, amd I! 3 Bow'd down beneath a heavy load of sin, By Satan's fierce temptations sorely prest, Beset without, and full of fears within, Trembling and faint I come to thee for rest. 4 Be thou my refuge, Lord, my hiding-place, I know no force can tear me from thy side; Unmov'd I then may all accusers face, And answer ev'ry charge, with "Jesus dy'd." 5 Yes! thou didst weep, and bleed, and groan and die! Well hast thou known what fierce temptation means, Such was my love! and now enthron'd on high, The same compassion in thy bosom reigns. 6 Lord, give me faith--he hears! what grace is this! Dry up thy tears, my soul, and cease to grieve; He shows me what he did, and who he is, I must, I will, I can, I do believe.
