Now let the Lord my Saviour smile

Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Christ His Love under Desertion Lyrics: 1 Now let the Lord my Saviour smile, And shew my Name upon his Heart; I would forget my Pains a while, And in the Pleasure lose the Smart. 2 But, oh! it swells my Sorrows high To see my blessed Jesus frown; My Spirits sink, my Comforts die, And all the Springs of Love are down. 3 Yet why, my Soul, why these Complaints? Still while he frowns his Bowels move; Still on his Heart he bears his Saints, And feels their Sorrows and his Love. 4 My Name is printed on his Breast; His Book of Life contains my Name; I'd rather have it there imprest, Than in the bright Records of Fame. 5 When the last Fire burns all Things here, Those Letters shall securely stand, And in the Lamb's fair Book appear, Writ by th' Eternal Father's Hand. 6 Now shall my Minutes smoothly run, Whilst here I wait my Father's Will; My rising and my setting Sun Roll gently up and down the Hill.

Dear Lord, behold our sore Distress

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Complaint of Desertion and Temptation Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord! behold our sore Distress; Our Sins attempt to reign; Stretch out thine Arm of conqu'ring Grace, And let thy Foes be slain. [2 The Lion with his dreadful Roar Affrights thy feeble Sheep: Reveal the Glory of thy Pow'r, And chain him to the Deep. 3 Must we indulge a long Despair? Shall our Petitions die? Our Mournings never reach thine Ear, Nor Tears affect thine Eye?] 4 If thou despise a mortal Groan, Yet hear a Saviour's Blood; An Advocate so near the Throne Pleads and prevails with God. 5 He brought the Spirit's pow'rful Sword To slay our deadly Foes; Our Sins shall die beneath thy Word, And Hell in vain oppose. 6 How boundless is our Father's Grace, In Height, and Depth, and Length! He makes his Son our Righteousness, His Spirit is our Strength.
