Oh! for a closer walk with God

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #416 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 5:24 Lyrics: 1 Oh! for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame, A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew, When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus, and his word? 3 What peaceful hour I once enjoy'd! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void, The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy Dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made thee mourn And drove thee from my breast: 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from thy throne, And worship only thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

Say, sinner, hath a voice within

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #229 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 6:3 Lyrics: 1 Say, sinner, hath a voice within Oft whisper'd to thy secret soul, Urg'd thee to leave the ways of sin, And yield thy heart to God’s control? 2 Hath something met thee in the path Of worldliness and vanity, And pointed to the coming wrath, And warn'd thee from that wrath to flee? 3 Sinner, it was a heavenly voice-- It was the Spirit’s gracious call; It bade thee make the better choice, And haste to seek in Christ thine all. 4 Spurn not the call to life and light; Regard in time the warning kind; That call thou may'st not always slight, And yet the gate of mercy find. 5 God’s Spirit will not always strive With harden'd, self-destroying man; Ye, who persist his love to grieve, May never hear his voice again. 6 Sinner--perhaps this very day, Thy last accepted time may be; Oh, should'st thou grieve him now away, Then hope may never beam on thee. Topics: Holy Spirit Danger of the Holy Spirit's withdrawing his influence; My spirit shall not always strive

Thus did pious Abraham pray

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #657 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 17:18 Lyrics: 1 Thus did pious Abraham pray For his beloved son: Let parents in the present day His language make their own. 2 Tho' they with God in cov'nant be, And have their heav'n in view; They are unhappy till they see Their children happy too. 3 They warn, indulge, correct, beseech, While tears in torrents flow; And 'tis beyond the pow'r of speech To tell the griefs they know. 4 See the fond father clasp his child; Hark! how his bowels move: "Shalt thou, my offspring, be exil'd From God my Father's love? 5 Shall cruel spirits drag thee down To darkness and despair; Beneath th'Almighty's angry frown, To dwell for ever there? 6 Kind heaven, the dreadful scene forbid! Look down, dear Lord, and bless; I'll wrestle hard, as Jacob did-- May I obtain success?" Topics: Parents and Children; Parents' Prayer for their Children. O that Ishmael might live before thee

Welcome, thou well belov'd of God

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #591 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 24:31 Lyrics: 1 Welcome, thou well belov'd of God, Thou heir of grace, redeem'd by blood; Welcome with us thy hand to join, As partner of our lot divine. 2 With us the pilgrim's state embrace, We're trav'lling to a blissful place; The Holy Ghost, who knows the way, Conduct thee on from day to day. 3 Take up thy cross, and bear it on, It shall be light, and not be long; Soon shalt thou sit with Jesus down, And wear an everlasting crown.

Lord, I cannot let thee go

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #440 (1828) Meter: Irregular Scripture: Genesis 32:26 Lyrics: 1 Lord, I cannot let thee go, Till a blessing thou bestow; Do not turn away thy face, Mine's an urgent, pressing case. 2 Dost thou ask me, who I am? Ah! my Lord, thou know'st my name! Yet the question gives a plea, To support my suit with thee! 3 Thou didst once a wretch behold, In rebellion blindly bold; Scorn thy grace--thy pow'r defy-- That poor rebel, Lord, was I. 4 Once a sinner near despair, Sought thy mercy-seat by pray'r; Mercy heard and set him free, Lord, that mercy came to me. 5 Many days have passed since then, Many changes I have seen; Yet have been upheld till now; Who could hold me up but thou? 6 Thou hast help'd in ev'ry need-- This emboldens me to plead; After so much mercy past, Canst thou let me sink at last? 7 No--I must maintain my hold-- 'Tis thy goodness makes me bold; I can no denial take, When I plead for Jesus' sake.

O that I had a seraph's fire

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #340 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Leviticus 16:9 Lyrics: 1 O that I had a seraph's fire, His rapt'rous song and golden lyre, To chant the love and grace supreme, Reveal'd as in the gospel scheme. 2 Here's pardon full, for sins that's past-- It matters not how black their cast; And, O my soul, with wonder view, For sins to come, here's pardon too. 3 When Jesus died, our debts were paid, Our sins laid on this Scape-Goat's head; Were to the trackless desert drove, And buried in eternal love. 4 In this abyss of love profound, When sought for they shall not be found; Hid from Jehovah's piercing eye, There in oblivion's shades, they lie.

The eagle fond her charge awakes

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #85 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Deuteronomy 32:11 Lyrics: 1 The eagle fond her charge awakes Where in the nest they doze; And while her flutt'ring plumes she shakes The way to fly she shows; She spreads her wings, her young to bear, Before their own thy try; And takes them up, and cleaves the air; And soars above the sky. 2 'Twas thus in nature's sleep I lay, When Christ the Spirit shed, His Spirit stirr'd me up to pray, And hover'd o'er my head, Infusing the first gracious hope He spread his wings abroad, And train'd his infant pupil up To seek the face of God. 3 The object of his kindest care He never yet forsook, But did himself my weakness bear, And all my burthen took; He bore me up, from earth he bore On wings of heav'nly love, And taught my unfledg'd soul to soar To those bright realms above. 4 The Spirit of redeeming grace Hath been my sure defence, And through the pathless wilderness Led on my innocence: When simple as a little child All idols I abhorr'd, And saw as my Redeemer smil'd, My Paradise restor'd.

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #476 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Deuteronomy 32:49 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. 2 O the transporting, rapt'rous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields array'd in living green, And rivers of delight! 3 There gen'rous fruits that never fail, On trees immortal grow; There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales, With milk and honey flow. 4 All o'er those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Son for ever reigns, And scatters night away. 5 No chilling winds, nor pois'nous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and fear'd no more. 6 When shall I reach that happy place, I'll be for ever blest? When shall I see my Father's face, And in his bosom rest? 7 Fill'd with delight my raptur'd soul Would here no longer stay; Tho' Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.

Jesus, help thy fallen creature!

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #478 (1828) Meter: Irregular Scripture: Deuteronomy 32:49 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, help thy fallen creature! Conqueror of the world thou art, Stronger than the foe, and greater Than this poor rebellious heart: Power I know to thee is given, Power to sentence or release, Power to shut or open heaven; thou alone hast all the keys. 2 Open, then, in great compassion, Open mercy's door to me, Out of mighty tribulation Bring me forth thy face to see; O cut short my days of mourning Quickly to my rescue come, Let me joyfully returning Reach my everlasting home. 3 Hear me, Lord, myself bemoaning, Banish'd from my native place, Languishing for God, and groaning To appear before thy face: From this bodily oppression Set my earnest spirit free, Give me now the full possession, Let me now thy glory see. 4 If thou ever didst discover To my faith the promis'd land, Bid me now the stream pass over, On that heavenly border stand, Now surmount whate'er opposes, Into thine embraces fly; Speak the word thou spak'st to Moses, Bid me get me up, and die.

When, bending o'er the brink of life

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #696 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:32 Lyrics: 1 When, bending o'er the brink of life, My trembling soul shall stand, Waiting to pass death's awful flood, Great God, at thy command! 2 When weeping friends surround my bed, And close my sightless eyes; When shatter'd by the weight of years This broken body lies: 3 When ev'ry long-lov'd scene of life Stands ready to depart; When the last sigh that shakes the frame Shall rend this bursting heart: 4 O, thou great Source of joy supreme, Whose arm alone can save, Dispel the darkness that surrounds The entrance to the grave! 5 Lay thy supporting gentle hand Beneath my sinking head; And, with a ray of love divine, Illume my dying bed! 6 Leaning on thy dear faithful breast, May I resign my breath! And, in thy fond embraces, lose "The bitterness of death!" Topics: Death
