Profession of Love to Christ
Author: Dr. St. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ingratitude to Christ detected First Line: And have I, Christ, no love to thee Lyrics: 1 And have I, Christ, no love to thee,
No passion for thy charms?
No wish my Savior's face to see,
And dwell within his arms?
2 Is there no spark of gratitude
In this cold heart of mine
To him whose generous bosom glow'd
With friendship all divine?
3 Can I pronounce his charming name,
His acts of kindness tell;
And, while I dwell upon the theme,
No sweet emotion feel?
4 Such base ingratitude as this
What heart but must detest!
Sure Christ deserves the noblest place
In every human breast.
5 A very wretch, Lord, I should prove
Had I no love to thee:
Rather than not my Savior love,
O may I cease to be! Languages: English
Profession of Love to Christ
Is this the kind Return
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LXXIV (1766) Topics: Complaint of Ingratitude Lyrics: 1 Is this the kind Return,
And these the Thanks we owe,
Thus to abuse eternal Love,
Whence all our Blessings flow!
2 To what a stubborn Frame
Has Sin reduc'd our Mind?
What strange rebellious Wretches we,
And God as strangely kind.
3 On us he bids the Sun
Shed his reviving Rays,
For us the Skies their Circles run,
To lengthen out our Days.
4 The Brutes obey their God,
And bow their Necks to Men,
But we more base, more brutish Things,
Reject his easy Reign.
5 Turn, turn us, mighty God,
And mould our Souls afresh,
Break, sov'reign Grace, these Hearts of Stone,
And give us Hearts of flesh.
6 Let old Ingratitude
Provoke our weeping Eyes,
And hourly, as new Mercies fall
Let hourly Thanks arise. Languages: English
Is this the kind Return
With tears of anguish, I lament
Author: Stennett Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #408 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Confessed Ingratitude Lyrics: 1 With tears of anguish, I lament,
Here at thy feet, my God,
My passion, pride, and discontent,
And vile ingratitude.
2 Sure there was ne'er a heart so base,
So false as mine hath been,
So faithless to its promises,
So prone to every sin!
3 My reason tells me thy commands
Are holy, just, and true;
Tells me whate'er my God demands
Is his most righteous due.
4 Reason I hear, her counsels weigh,
And all her words approve;
But still I find it hard t' obey,
And harder yet to love.
5 How long, dear Saviour, shall I feel
These strugglings in my breast?
When wilt thou bow my stubborn will,
And give my conscience rest?
Scripture: Isaiah 24:16

The Penitent's Saviour
God Our Advocate and Judge
Hymnal: The Psalter #92 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Ingratitude To Man First Line: Be Thou my helper in the strife Lyrics: 1 Be Thou my helper in the strife,
O Lord, my strong defender be;
Thy mighty shield protect my life,
Thy spear confront the enemy,
Amid the conflict, O my Lord,
Thy precious promise let me hear,
The faithful, reassuring word:
I am thy Saviour, do not fear.
2 Ashamed, confounded let them be
Who seek my ruin and disgrace;
O let Thy angel fight for me,
And drive my foes before his face.
Without a cause my life they sought,
Without a case their plots they laid;
Themselves within their snares be caught,
And be my crafty foes dismayed.
3 My soul is joyful in the Lord,
In His salvation I rejoice;
To Him my heart will praise accord
And bless His Name with thankful voice.
For who, O Lord, is like to Thee,
Defender of the poor and meek?
The needy Thy salvation see
When mighty foes their ruin seek.
4 Unrighteous witnesses have stood
And told of crimes beyond belief;
Returning evil for my good,
They overwhelm my soul with grief.
When in affliction they were sad,
I wept and made their grief my own;
But in my trouble they are glad
And strive that I may be o'erthrown.
5 O Lord, how long wilt Thou delay?
My soul for Thy salvation waits;
My thankfulness I will display
Amid the crowds that throng Thy gates.
Let not my enemies rejoice
And wrongfully exult o'er me;
They speak not peace, but lift their voice
To trouble those that peaceful be.
6 My foes with joy my woes survey,
but Thou, O Lord, hast seen it all;
O be no longer far away,
Nor silent when on Thee I call.
O haste to my deliverance now,
O Lord, my righteous cause maintain;
My Lord and God alone art Thou;
Awake, and make thy justice plain.
7 O Lord my God, I look to Thee,
Be Thou my righteous Judge, I pray;
Let not my foes exult o'er me
And laugh with joy at my dismay.
With shame and trouble those requite
Who would my righteous cause destroy;
But those who in the good delight,
Let them be glad and shout for joy.
8 Yea, let the Lord be magnified,
Because Thy servants Thou dost bless;
And I, from morn till eventide,
Will daily praise Thy righteousness.
My soul is joyful in the Lord,
In His salvation I rejoice;
To Him my heart will praise accord
And bless His Name with thankful voice.

Penitential Grief and Supplication
Hymnal: The Psalter #102 (1912) Topics: Ingratitude To Man First Line: In Thy wrath and hot displeasure Lyrics: 1 In Thy wrath and hot displeasure,
Chasten not Thy servant, Lord;
Let Thy mercy, without measure,
Help and peace to me afford.
2 Heavy is my tribulation,
Sore my punishment has been;
Broken by Thy indignation,
I am troubled by my sin.
3 With my burden of transgression
Heavy laden, overborne,
Humbled low I make confession,
For my folly now I mourn.
4 Weak and wounded, I implore Thee;
Lord, to me Thy mercy show;
All my prayer is now before Thee,
All my trouble Thou dost know.
5 Darkness gathers, foes assail me,
But I answer not a word;
All my friends desert and fail me,
Only Thou my cry hast heard.
