We are by the Apostle taught

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We are by the Apostle taught, And in his doctrine see, How carefull every christian ought In all their lives to be. 2 The Gospel brings the truth to sight, And spreads a bright display! And ignorance like, as the night, Thereby is drove away. 3 This blessed light to us is shown, O may it shine within, To make our state by nature known, And feel the weight of sin. 4 Yet sure Salvation thro' the blood Of Jesus we obtain! And thus restor'd unto our God, And made his own again. 5 Then, O ye christians pray be wise; Exert your inmost pow'r-- Strive from the sleep of sin to rise, Awake and sleep no more. 6 The night is past and fully spent, Let works of darkness cease: The blessed light that Jesus sent Creates establish'd peace.

Not in deception or disguise

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not in deception or disguise Must christians fast or pray; But take their blessed Lord's advice, Which is a diff'rent way. 2 The heart with godly sorrow fill'd, Need never make a show; Their state of mind will be reveal'd In all they at and do. 3 They who are well convinc'd of sin, Will feel a deep distress; Yet differ not from other men, In their external dress. 4 Their fastings, pray'r and abstenence, Are fervent, and sincere; They will not act with mere pretence, Sad countenance to wear. 5 God will not pay a true regard, To such a borrow'd face; Nor grant the future great reward To those who mock his grace. 6 The Lord is not to be deceiv'd, All things are in his view; Our pray'rs by him are not receiv'd, Unless our hearts be true.

With me, thy servant, thou hast dealt

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 65 With me, thy servant, thou hast dealt Most graciously, O Lord; Repeated benefits bestow'd, According to thyh word. 66 Teach me the sacred skill, by which Right judgment is attain'd, Who in belief of thy commands Have steadfastly remain'd. 67 Before affliction stopp'd my course, My foot-steps went astray: But I have since been disciplin'd Thy precepts to obey. 68 Thou art, O Lord, supremely good, And all thou dost is so; On me, thy statutes to discern, Thy saving skill bestow. 69 The proud have forg'd malicious lies, My spotless fame to stain; But my fix'd heart, without reserve, Thy precepts shall retain. 70 While pamper'd they, with prosp'rous ills, In sensual pleasures live, My soul can relish no delight, But what thy precepts give. 7 'Tis good for me that I have felt Affliction's chast'ning rod, That I might duly learn and keep The statutes of my God. 72 The law that from thy mouth proceeds, Of more esteem I hold Than untouch'd mines, than thousand mines Of silver and of gold. Scripture: Psalm 119:65-72

What crosses and afflictions meet

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What crosses and afflictions meet, Whilst we on earth abide; With Satan and the world beset, And vex'd on ev'ry side. 2 Our toils and labours of this life, Are great and numberless; Our disappointments, frets and strife, Do ever mar our peace. 3 When we suppose we do possess The things that works our joys; They prove the cause of our distress, And are but trifling toys. 4 The world is but a vale of tears, A scene of constant woe: We live in constant dread and fears, While we live here below. 5 With anxious cares our minds are fill'd, For life and health and food: To such despairing thoughts we yield, When we should trust to God. 6 Such frail and feeble creatures we, We seek but never find, Such treasures as we hope should be; Real peace and joy of mind. 7 O mighty Saviour, gracious Lord! Bestow on us that pow'r: That we may trust unto thy word, And doubt and fear no more. Topics: Crosses and Afflictions

When Christ Jerusalem beheld

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Christ Jerusalem beheld, As he approached near-- His heart her doleful state bewail'd, His eyes they flow'd with tears. 2 He look'd on her with deep distress, And strove to be here friend; But O, her heighth of wickedness, Determin'd her fatal end. 3 Did'st thou but know in this thy day, That which would work thy peace; Before thy help is done away, And will forever cease. 4 But now these things are hid from thee, And from thine eyes conceal'd-- The time is near when thou must see: God's threat'nings all fulfill'd. 5 Justice and judgements must take place, Thy sins have brought them down; Long ye abus'd the means of grace, Which ye held as your own. 6 Thy foes they shall compass thee round, And fill thy streets with fear! Thy walls laid level with the ground And thou brought to despair. 7 Such woes as never were on earth, In ev'ry part shall rage; Great famine, wars and cruel death Shall sweep thee of the stage. 8 The Jews, they shar'd their awful fate And thus were made to know; That vice destroy'd their church and state, And prov'd their overthrow. 9 Long have we heard thy warnings Lord, But we regard it not-- And just according to thy word: Their fate must be our lot.
