Blest Advocate and Friend,
Be near us in the stress of life,
Thy heavenly aid to lend,
For Thou the Spirit art
Of Life and Light and Love,
Our death, our doubt and sin
Thy coming shall remove.
2 O Holy Spirit, Comforter,
Thou promised guide divine,
On all the journey of our life
Command Thy light to shine.
So shall we never stray
From ways our Master trod,
So shall our pathway lead
To rest, to home and God.
3 O Holy Spirit, Comforter,
Thou searching, cleansing fire;
Come purge away the dross of sin,
Make pure the heart's desire.
Then kindle in us zeal,
And crown with tongues of flame,
With Pentecostal power
We shall the word proclaim.
4 O Holy Spirit, Comforter,
Convict the world of sin,
Reveal the righteousness of God,
The reign of Christ bring in.
Then shall the kings of earth
Their scepters sway in peace,
And war with all its woe
From all the earth shall cease.
5 O Holy Spirit, Comforter,
Now glorify the Son;
Now save and sanctify and seal,
And make Thy people one.
So shall the church on earth
Be as the Church above;
So shall the world become
A paradise of love. Languages: English Tune Title: PARADISE
O Holy Spirit, Comforter
Depth of mercy! Can there be
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #331 (1917) Topics: Sinners Convicted; Sinners Convicted; Conviction, of sin; Sin Conviction of Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! Can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God His wrath forbear?
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?
I have long withstood His grace,
Long provoked Him to His face,
Would not hearken to His calls,
Grieved Him by a thousand falls.
2 Whence to me this waste of love?
Ask my Advocate above;
See the cause in Jesus' face.
Now before the throne of grace.
There for me the Saviour stands,
Shows His wounds, and spread His hands;
God is love! I know, I feel;
Jesus weeps, and loves me still!
3 Jesus, answer from above;
Is not all Thy nature love?
Wilt thou not the wrong forget,
Suffering me to kiss Thy feet?
If I rightly read Thy heart,
If Thou all compassion art,
Bow Thine ear, in mercy bow,
Pardon and accept me now. Languages: English Tune Title: CULFORD

The practical Use of the Moral Law to the convinced Sinner
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #L (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Spiritual Conviction First Line: Here, Lord, my soul convicted stands Lyrics: 1 Here, Lord, my soul convicted stands
Of breaking all thy ten commands:
And on me justly might'st thou pour
Thy wrath in one eternal show'r.
2 But thanks to God, its loud alarms
Have warn'd me of approaching harms:
And now, O Lord, my wants I see,
Lost and undone, I come to thee.
3 I know my fig-leaf righteousness
Can ne'er thy broken law redress:
Yet in thy gospel plan I see
There's hope of pardon e'en for me.
4 Here, I behold with wonder, Lord,
That Christ hath to thy law restor'd
Those honors of th' atoning day,
Which guilty sinners took away.
5 Amazing wisdom, power and love,
Display'd to rebels from above!
Do thou, O Lord, my faith increase
To love and trust thy plan of grace. Languages: English
The practical Use of the Moral Law to the convinced Sinner
The Prodigal Son
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXLVII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sinner Under conviction First Line: See the rash youth, defil'd with sin Lyrics: Part I
The sinner departing from God:
1 See the rash youth, defil'd with sin,
Hear how he claims with haughty voice,
To have his portion, and begin
In vice and madness to rejoice.
2 His father gave with bounteous hands,
Richly were all his wants supply'd;
Thankless he took; in foreign lands
Wasted in pleasure, pomp and pride.
3 In lust and wine he spent the whole,
Forgot his Father and his home;
Nor thought nor felt he had a soul
Expos'd to meet the wrath to come.
4 The giddy crowd that round him throng,
In every sinful folly join;
Approve the mirth and chant the song
That casts contempt on things divine.
5 Thus lur'd by charms of flattering vice,
The rebel sees his substance fled;
His friends forsake, his wants arise,
For sin has struck his comforts dead.
Part II
The sinner under conviction:
6 With dying want the sinner cries,
Nor thinks rebellion makes his pain;
To strangers, far from home, applies,
Nor seeks his Father's grace to gain.
7 See the poor wretch with hunger prest,
Sunk low with swine to have a share;
Alas! how far from peaceful rest,
Tortur'd by conscience, guilt and fear.
8 'Tis thus the God of sov'reign grace
Begins to bring a rebel home;
The spirit shews his wretched case,
And points a judgment still to come.
9 Now self-condemn'd to works he flies
And thinks to cleanse a guilty mind,
Still far from penitence, which cries
To God for help, and feels resign'd.
10 Blinded by sin, to duty lost,
He grasps the husks and hates the bread;
Hill all his expectations crost,
His hopes from self and means are fled.
Part III
The Sinner brought to true repentance:
11 Now see the Rebel raise his eyes,
From dreaming folly just awake;
His soul relents with strange surprise,
And all his heart begins to break.
12 I starve, he cries, nor can I bear
This death I feel in sinful lands,
While servants of my Father share
The liberal bounty of his hands.
13 With deep repentance on my tongue,
I'll go and seek my Father's face,
Unworthy to be call'd a son,
I'll only ask a servant's place.
14 I'll tell him how I've griev'd his love,
And basely fled his holy sight,
How I've provok'd all heav'n above,
Nor thought or done a thing that's right.
15 Far off his Father saw him come,
And o'er him all his bowels yearn'd;
He rose to bless and greet his son,
And crown with grace his safe return.
16 The Rebel's heart with sorrow fill'd,
Bled for the crimes, which he had done:
Through all the Courts the triumph smil'd,
And sang the Father's grace alone.

The Soul ruined
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #221 (1890) Topics: Hope Under Conviction; Hope Under Conviction First Line: How sad our state by nature is! Lyrics: 1 How sad our state by nature is!
Our sin how deep it stains!
And Satan holds our captive minds
Fast in his slavish chains.
2 But there's a voice of sovereign grace,
Sounds from the sacred word;
"Ho! ye despairing sinners, come,
And trust a pardoning Lord."
3 My soul obeys the almighty call,
And runs to this relief;
I would believe thy promise, Lord;
Oh, help my unbelief!
4 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm,
On thy kind arms I fall;
Be thou my Strength and Righteousness,
My Saviour and my All. Languages: English

Author: Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: Laudes Domini #226 (1890) Topics: Hope Under Conviction; Hope Under Conviction First Line: Can sinners hope for heaven Lyrics: 1 Can sinners hope for heaven,
Who love this world so well?
Or dream of future happiness,
While on the road to hell?
2 Shall they hosannas sing,
With an unhallowed tongue?
Shall palms adorn the guilty hand
Which does its neighbor wrong?
3 Thy grace, O God, alone,
Good hope can e'er afford!
The pardoned and the pure shall see
The glory of the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: PRAYER

The Father
Author: Thomas Binney Hymnal: Laudes Domini #240 (1890) Topics: Hope Under Conviction; Hope Under Conviction First Line: Eternal Light! eternal Light! Lyrics: 1 Eternal Light! eternal Light!
How pure the soul must be,
When, placed within thy searching sight,
It shrinks not, but, with calm delight
Can live, and look on thee!
2 The spirits that surround thy throne,
May bear the burning bliss;
But that is surely theirs alone,
Since they have never, never known
A fallen world like this.
3 There is a way for man to rise
To that sublime abode:
An offering and a sacrifice,
A Holy Spirit's energies,
An advocate with God.
4 These, these prepare us for the sight
Of holiness above:
The sons of ignorance and night
May dwell in the eternal Light,
Through the eternal Love! Languages: English Tune Title: NAUMANN

Find rest except in thee?
Thine was the warfare with his foe,
The cross of pain, the cup of woe,
And thine the victory.
2 How came the everlasting Son,
The Lord of life, to die?
Why didst thou meet the tempter's power,
Why, Jesus, in thy dying hour,
Endure such agony?
3 To save us by thy precious blood,
To make us one in thee,
That ours might be thy perfect life,
Thy thorny crown, thy cross, thy strife,
And ours the victory.
4 Oh, make us worthy, gracious Lord,
Of all thy love to be;
To thy blest will our wills incline,
That unto death we may be thine,
And ever live in thee. Languages: English

With sevenfold gifts of grace;
Come, thou who dost the world renew,
Author of peace, consoler true,
Spirit of holiness.

O'er all the world afar;
And summon from their sleep profound
The dead, who lay in darkness round,
To hail the Morning Star.

From all salvation's heirs;
Thy goodness, truth, and love, and power,
Let all created worlds adore
In holy hymns and prayers.

In thee our hope and trust,
The stains of former guilt efface,
Confirm the innocent in grace,
And glorify the just. Languages: English
