Breathing after the holy Spirit

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 1,220 hymnals First Line: Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove Lyrics: 1 Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove With all thy quick'ning pow'rs; Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 Look how we grovel here below, Fond of these trifling toys; Our souls can neither fly, nor go To reach eternal joys. 3 In vain we tune our formal songs, In vain we strive to rise; Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies. 4 Dear LORD, and shall we ever lie At this poor dying rate? Our love so faint, so cold to thee, And thine to us so great? 5 Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove, With all thy quick'ning pow'rs; Come shed abroad a Saviour’s love, And that shall kindle ours.

Prayer for Revival

Author: Ryland Appears in 462 hymnals First Line: Saviour visit thy plantation Lyrics: 1 Saviour visit thy plantation, Grant us LORD a gracious rain! All will come to dissolution, Unless thou return again: Refrain: LORD, revive us, All our help must come from thee. 2 Keep no longer at a distance, Shine upon us from on high; Lest for want of thy assistance, Ev'ry plant should droop and die. [Refrain] 3 Surely, once the garden flourish'd, Ev'ry part look'd gay and green: Then thy word our spirits nourish'd, Happy seasons we have seen! [Refrain] 4 But a drought has since succeeded, And a sad decline we see; LORD, thy help is greatly needed, Help can only come from thee. [Refrain] 5 Where are those we counted leaders, Fill'd with zeal and love and truth Old professors, tall as cedars, Bright examples to our youth. [Refrain] 6 Some in whom our souls delighted, We shall meet no more below, Some, alas! we fear are blighted, Scarce a single leaf they show. [Refrain] 7 Younger plants — the sight how pleasant, Cover'd thick with blossoms stood; But they cause us grief at present, Frost has nipp'd them in the bud! [Refrain] 8 Dearest Saviour, hasten hither, Thou canst make them bloom again; Oh, permit them not to wither, Let not all our hopes be vain; [Refrain] 9 Let our mutual love be fervent, Make us prevalent in prayers; Let each one esteem'd the servant, Shun the world's bewitching snares: [Refrain] 10 Break the tempter's fatal power, Turn the stony heart to flesh; And begin, from this good hour, To revive thy work afresh: [Refrain]

The successful Resolve

Jones Appears in 703 hymnals First Line: Come humble sinners, in whose breast Lyrics: 1 Come, humble sinner, in whose breast A thousand thoughts revolve, Come, with your guilt and fear opprest, And make this last resolve. 2 "I'll go to JESUS, tho' my sin "Hath like a mountain rose; "I know his courts, I'll enter in, "Whatever may oppose. 3 "Prostrate I'll lie before his throne, "And there my guilt confess, "I'll tell him I'm a wretch undone "Without his sovereign grace. 4 "I'll to the gracious King approach, "Whose sceptre pardon gives, "Perhaps he may command my touch, "And then the suppliant lives. 5 "Perhaps he will admit my plea, "Perhaps will hear my prayer; "But if I perish I will pray, "And perish only there. 6 "I can but perish if I go, "I am resolved to try: "For if I stay away, I know "I must forever die."

Come, descend, O heav'nly Spirit

Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, descend, O heav'nly Spirit, Fan, each spark into a flame; Blessings let us now inherit, Blessings that we cannot name: Whilst Hosannas we are singing, May our hearts in rapture move, Fell new grace in them still springing, Breathe the air of purest love. 2 Let us fail in grace's ocean Float on that unbounded sea, Guided into pure devotion, Kept from paths of error free: On thy heav'nly manna feeding, Skreen'd from ev'ry envious foe; Love, O love for sinners bleeding All for thee we would forego. 3 Keep us, Lord, still in communion, Daily nearer drawn to thee; Sinking in the sweetest union Of that heart-felt mystery: Keep us safe from each delusion, Well protected from all harm; Free from sin and all confusion, Circle us within thine arms.

Awake, and sing the song

Appears in 681 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake and sing the song Of Moses and the Lamb; Wake ev'ry heart and ev'ry tongue To praise the Saviour's name. 2 Sing of his dying love, Sing of his rising pow'r, Sing how he intercedes above For those whose sins he bore. 3 Sing till we feel our hearts, Ascending with our tongues, Sing 'till the love os sin departs, And grace inspires our songs. 4 Sing on your heav'nly way, Ye ransom'd sinners sing; Sing on, rejoicing ev'ry day, In Christ the eternal King. 5 Soon shall ye hear him say, "Ye blessed children come;" Soon will he call you hence away, And take his wand'rers home.

On Prayer

Author: Cowper Appears in 526 hymnals First Line: What various hind'rances we meet Lyrics: 1 What various hind'rances we meet In coming to a mercy-seat! Yet who that knows the worth of pray'r But wishes to be often there. 2 Prayer makes the darkened clouds withdraw Prayer climes the ladder Jacob saw; Gives exercise to faith and love, Brings every blessing from above. 3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight; Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright And satan trembles, when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees. 4 While Moses stood with arms spread wide Success was found on Israel's side; But when thro' weariness they fail'd, That moment Amalek prevail'd. 5 Have you no words? ah, think again, Words flow apace when you complain And fill a fellow-creature's ear With the sad tale of all your care.

Come thou font of ev'ry blessing

Author: Robison Appears in 2,209 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come thou font of ev'ry blessing! Tune my heart to sing thy grace! Streams of mercy never-ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise: Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise the mount — I'm fixt upon it, Mount of God's unchanging love. 2 Here I raise mine Eben-Ezer, Hither by thy help I'm come; And I hope by thy good pleasure Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wand'ring from the fold of God; He to rescue me from danger, Interpos'd with precious blood. 3 O! to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrain'd to be! Let that grace, Lord like a fetter, Bind my wand'ring hear to thee! Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; Prone to leave the God I love - Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it; Seal it from thy courts above! Topics: Invitation Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:12

God glorified in the Gospel

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 49 hymnals First Line: The Lord descending from above Lyrics: 1 The Lord, descending from above, Invites his children near; While pow'r, and truth, and boundless love Display their glories here. 2 Here, in thy gospel's wondrous frame Fresh wisdom we pursue; A thousand angels learn thy name, Beyond whate'er they knew. 3 Thy name is writ in fairest lines, Thy wonders here we trace; Wisdom thro' all the myst'ry shines, And shines in Jesus' face. 4 The law its best obedience owes To our incarnate God! And thy revenging justice shows Its honours in his blood. 5 But still the lustre of thy grace Our warmer thoughts employs, Gilds the whole scene with brighter rays, And more exalts our joys.
