Self-denial

Author: Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXXXIX (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Benjamin Beddome First Line: And must I part with all I have Lyrics: 1 And must I part with all I have, My dearest Lord, for thee? It is but right, since thou hast done Much more than this for me. 2 Yes, let it go—one look from thee Will more than make amends, For all the losses I sustain Of credit, riches, friends. 3 Ten thousand worlds, then thousand lives, How worthless they appear, Compar'd with thee, supremely good, Divinely bright and fair! 4 Saviour of souls, could I from thee A single smile obtain, Tho' destitute of all things else, I'd glory in my gain.

Faith

Author: Beddome Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXXII (1793) Person Name: Beddome First Line: Faith— 'tis a precious grace Lyrics: 1 Faith— 'tis a precious grace, Where'er it is bestow'd! It boasts of a celestial birth, And is the gift of God! 2 Jesus it owns a king, An all-atoning priest; It claims no merit of its own, But finds it all in Christ. 3 To him it leads the soul, When fill'd with deep distress; Flies to the fountain of his blood, And trusts his righteousness. 4 Since 'tis thy work alone, And that divinely free, Lord, send the Spirit of thy Son To work this faith in me.

Gift of God

Arise, thou Son of Righteousness, Scatter the clouds that intervene. 3 Thou art the glorious gift of God, To sinners weary, and distrest; The first of all his gifts bestow'd, And certain pledge of all the rest. 4 Could I but say, this gift is mine, I'd tread the world beneath my feet; No more at poverty repine, Nor envy the rich sinner's state. 5 The precious jewel I would keep, And lodge it deep within my heart; At home, abroad, awake asleep, It never should from thence depart!

Be banish'd far away; Those should in strictest friendship dwell, Who the same Lord obey. 4 Thus will the church below Resemble that above, Where streams of pleasure ever flow, And every heart is love.
