Alas! By Nature How Depraved

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Alas! by nature how depraved, How prone to every ill! Our lives, to Satan, how enslaved, How obstinate our will! 2. And can such sinners be restored, Such rebels reconciled? Can grace itself the means afford To make a foe a child? 3. Yes, grace has found the wondrous means Which shall effectual prove; To cleanse us from our countless sins, And teach our hearts to love. 4. Jesus for sinners undertakes, And died that we may live; His blood a full atonement makes, And cries aloud, Forgive. 5. Yet one thing more must grace provide, To bring us home to God; Or we shall slight the Lord, who died, And trample on His blood. 6. The Holy Spirit must reveal The Savior’s work and worth; Then the hard heart begins to feel A new and heavenly birth. 7. Thus bought with blood, and born again, Redeemed, and saved, by grace Rebels, in God’s own house obtain A son’s and daughter’s place. Languages: English Tune Title: BANGOR

Eternal God, We Look to Thee

Author: James Merrick Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1330 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Eternal God, we look to Thee, To Thee for help we fly; Thine eye alone our wants can see, Thy hand alone supply. 2. Lord, let Thy fear within us dwell, Thy love our footsteps guide; That love will all vain love expel; That fear, all fear betide. 3. Not what we wish, but what we want, O let Thy grace supply; The good, unmasked, in mercy grant; The ill, though asked, deny. Languages: English Tune Title: BANGOR

The Foes of Zion Quake for Fright

Author: Charles H. Spurgeon Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1569 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. The foes of Zion quake for fright, Where no fear was they quail; For well they know that sword of might Which cuts through coats of mail. 2. The Lord of old defiled their shields, And laughed their spears to scorn, Their bones lay scattered o’er the field, By dogs and vultures torn. 3. Let Zion’s foes be filled with shame; Her sons are blessed of God; Though scoffers now despise their name The Lord shall break their rod. 4. Oh, would our God to Zion turn, God with salvation clad; Then Judah’s harps should music learn, And Israel be glad. Languages: English Tune Title: BANGOR

Hark! from the Tombs a Doleful Sound

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2363 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Hark! from the tombs a doleful sound; My ears, attend the cry; “Ye living men, come view the ground Where you must shortly lie. 2. Princes, this clay must be your bed, In spite of all your towers; The tall, the wise, the reverend head Must lie as low as ours! 3. Great God! is this our certain doom? And are we still secure? Still walking downward to our tomb, And yet prepare no more? 4. Grant us the powers of quickening grace, To fit our souls to fly, Then, when we drop this dying flesh, We’ll rise above the sky.

How David, When by Sin Deceived

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2569 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. How David, when by sin deceived, From bad to worse went on! For when the Holy Spirit’s grieved, Our strength and guard are gone. 2. His eye on Bathsheba once fixed, With poison filled his soul; He ventured on adultery next, And murder crowned the whole. 3. So from a spark of fire at first, That has not been descried; A dreadful flame has often burst, And ravaged far and wide. 4. When sin deceives it hardens too, For though he vainly fought To hide his crimes from public view, Of God he little thought. 5. He neither would, or could repent, No true compunction felt; ’Till God in mercy Nathan sent, His stubborn heart to melt. 6. The parable held forth a fact, Designed his case to show; But though the picture was exact, Himself he did not know. 7. Thou art the man, the prophet said, That word his slumber broke; And when he owned his sin, and prayed, The Lord forgiveness spoke. 8. Let those who think they stand, beware, For David stood before; Nor let the fallen soul despair, For mercy can restore. Languages: English Tune Title: BANGOR

O God of Mercy, Hear My Call

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4899 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. O God of mercy, hear my call, My loads of guilt remove; Break down this separating wall, That bars me from my love. 2. Give me the presence of Thy grace, Then my rejoicing tongue Shall speak aloud Thy righteousness, And make Thy praise my song. 3. No blood of goats nor heifers slain, For sin could e’er atone; The death of Christ shall still remain Sufficient and alone. 4. A soul oppressed with sin’s desert, My God will ne’er despise; A humble groan, a broken heart, Is our best sacrifice. Languages: English Tune Title: BANGOR

O Zion, open wide thy gates, Let priest and victim, both in one, The truth Himself, is here. 2. No more the simple flock shall bleed; Behold, the Father’s Son Himself to His own altar comes For sinners to atone. 3. Conscious of hidden deity, The lowly virgin brings Her newborn babe, with two young doves, Her humble offerings. 4. The agèd Simeon sees at last His Lord, so long desired, And Anna welcomes Israel’s hope, With holy rapture fired. 5. But silent knelt the mother blest Of the yet silent Word, And pondering all things in her heart, With speechless praise adored. 6. All glory to the Father be, All glory to the Son, All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee, While endless ages run. Languages: English Tune Title: BANGOR

Terrible Thought! Shall I Alone

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6946 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Terrible thought! shall I alone— Who may be saved—Shall I Of all, alas! whom I have known, Through sin for ever die? 2. While all my old companions dear, With whom I once did live, Joyful at God’s right hand appear, A blessing to receive. 3. Shall I, amidst a ghastly band, Dragged to the judgment seat, Far on the left with horror stand, My fearful doom to meet? 4. Ah, no! I still may turn and live, For still His wrath delays; He now vouchsafes a kind reprieve, And offers me His grace. 5. I will accept His offers now, From every sin depart, Perform my oft-repeated vow And render Him my heart. 6. I will improve what I receive, The grace through Jesus giv’n; Sure, if with God on earth I live, To live with Him in Heav’n. Languages: English Tune Title: BANGOR

Why Doth the Lord Stand Off So Far?

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7161 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Why doth the Lord stand off so far? And why conceal His face, When great calamities appear, And times of deep distress? 2. Lord, shall the wicked still deride Thy justice and Thy power? Shall they advance their heads in pride, And still Thy saints devour? 3. They put Thy judgments from their sight, And then insult the poor; They boast in their exalted height, That they shall fall no more. 4. Arise, O God, lift up Thine hand, Attend our humble cry; No enemy shall dare to stand When God ascends on high. 5. Why do the men of malice rage, And say, with foolish pride, The God of Heav’n will ne’er engage To fight on Zion’s side? 6. But Thou forever art our Lord; And powerful is Thine hand, As when the heathens felt Thy sword, And perished from Thy land. 7. Thou wilt prepare our hearts to pray, And cause Thine ear to hear; He hearkens what His children say, And puts the world in fear. 8. Proud tyrants shall no more oppress, No more despise the just; And mighty sinners shall confess They are but earth and dust. Languages: English Tune Title: BANGOR

Alas, My Aching Heart

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7921 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Alas, my aching heart! Lyrics: 1 Alas, my aching heart! Here the keen torment lies; It racks my waking hours with smart, And frights my slumbering eyes. 2 Guilt will be hid no more, My griefs take vent apace, The crimes that blot my conscience o’er Flush crimson in my face. 3 My sorrows like a flood Impatient of restraint Into Thy bosom, O my God, Pour out a long complaint. 4 This impious heart of mine Could once defy the Lord, Could rush with violence on to sin In presence of Thy sword. 5 As often have I stood A rebel to the skies, The calls, the tenders of a God, And mercy’s loudest cries. 6 He offers all His grace, And all His heaven to me; Offers! But ’tis to senseless brass That can nor feel nor see. 7 Jesus the Savior stands To court me from above, And looks and spreads His wounded hands, And shows the prints of love. 8 But I, a stupid fool, How long have I withstood The blessings purchased with His soul, And paid for all in blood? 9 The heav’nly Dove came down And tendered me His wings, To mount me upward to a crown And bright immortal things. 10 Lord, I’m ashamed to say That I refused Thy Dove, And sent Thy Spirit grieved away To His own realms of love. 11 Nor all Thine heav’nly charms, Nor Thy revenging hand Could force me to lay down my arms, And bow to Thy command. 12 Lord, ’tis against Thy face My sins like arrows rise, And yet, and yet, O matchless grace Thy thunder silent lies. 13 O shall I never feel The meltings of Thy love? Am I of such hell-hardened steel That mercy cannot move? 14 Now for one powerful glance Dear Savior, from Thy face! This rebel heart no more withstands, But sinks beneath Thy grace. 15 O’ercome by dying love I fall, And at Thy cross I lie; I throw my flesh, my soul, my all, And weep, and love, and die. 16 Rise, says the Prince of mercy, rise; With joy and pity in His eyes: “Rise and behold My wounded veins; Here flows the blood to wash thy stains. 17 See, My great Father’s reconciled: He said, and lo, the Father smiled; The joyful cherubs clapped their wings, And sounded grace on all their strings.
