The influence of the spirit desired

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CVI (1799) First Line: Eternal spirit, source of light Lyrics: 1 Eternal spirit, source of light, Enliv'ning, consecrating fire, Descend and with celestial heat Our dull, our frozen hearts inspire: Our souls refine, our dross consume! Come, condescending spirit come! 2 In our cold breasts, O strike a spark Of the pure flame, which seraphs feel, Nor let us wander in the dark, Or lie benumb'd and stupid still: Come vivifying spirit, come, And make our hearts thy constant home! 3 Let pure devotion's fervors rise; Let every pious passion glow: O let the raptures of the skies Kindle in our cold hearts below! Come, condescending spirit, come, And make our souls thy constant home! Topics: Spirit Influences of; Spirit Influences of Languages: English

A Song to Creating Wisdom

How glorious to behold! Ting'd with a blue of heavenly dye, And starr'd with sparkling gold. 3 Thy glories blaze all nature round, And strike the gazing sight, Thro' skies, and seas, and solid ground, With terror and delight. 4 Infinite strength, and equal skill Shine thro' the worlds abroad! Our souls with vast amazement fill, And speak the builder God. 5 But still the wonders of thy grace Our softer passions move; Pity divine in Jesus' face We see, adore, and love.

The Power of Faith

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CXXIV (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss Lyrics: 1 Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss, And saves me from its snares; Its aid in every duty brings, And softens all my cares: 2 Extinguishes the thirst of sin, And lights the sacred fire Of love to God, and heavenly things, And feeds the pure desire. 3 The wounded conscience know its power The healing balm to give; That balm the saddest heart can cheer, And make the dying live. 4 Wide it unveils celestial worlds, Where deathless pleasures reign; And bids me seek my portion there, Nor bids me seek in vain: 5 Shews me the precious promise seal'd With the Redeemer's blood; And helps my feeble hope to rest Upon a faithful God. 6 There, there unshaken would I rest, 'Till this vile body dies; And then on faith's triumphant wings, At once to glory rise.

The Convert

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCLXXIX (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Far from thy fold, O God, my feet Lyrics: 1 Far from thy fold, O God, my feet Once mov'd in error's devious maze, Nor found religious duties sweet, Now sought thy face, nor lov'd thy ways. 2 With tend'rest voice thou bad'st me flee The paths which thou couldst ne'er approve; And gently drew my soul to thee, With cords of sweet, eternal love. 3 Now to thy footstool, Lord,I fly, And low in self-abasement fall; A vile, a helpless worm I lie, And thou, my God, art all in all. 4 Dearer, far dearer to my heart Than all the joys that earth can give; From fame, from wealth, from friends I'd part, Beneath thy countenance to live. 5 And when, in smiling friendship drest, Death bids me quit this mortal frame, Gently reclin'd on Jesu's breast, My latest breath shall bless his name. 6 Then my unfetter'd soul shall rise, And soar above yon starry spheres, Join the fall chorus of the skies, And sing thy praise through endless years.
