Lord, unafflicted, undismayed

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #320 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 Lord, unafflicted, undismayed, In pleasure's path how long I stayed! Bur Thou hast made me feel Thy rod, And turned my soul to Thee, my God. 2 What though it pierced my fainting heart, I bless Thy hand that cased the smart; It taught my tears a while to flow, But saved me from eternal woe. 3 Oh hadst Thou left me unchastised, Thy precepts I had still despised, And still the snare, in secret laid Had my unwary feet betrayed. 4 I love Thy chastenings, oh my God; They fix my hopes on Thy abode, Where, in Thy presence fully blest, Thy stricken saints for ever rest.

When languor and disease invade

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #326 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Lyrics: 1 When languor and disease invade This trembling house of clay, ’Tis sweet to look beyond my pains, And long to fly away. 2 Sweet to look inward, and attend The whispers of His love; Sweet to look upward to the place Where Jesus pleads above. 3 Sweet on His faithfulness to rest, Whose love can never end; Sweet on His covenant of grace For all things to depend. 4 If such the sweetness of the streams, What must the fountain be, Where saints and angels draw their bliss Immediately from thee!

Oh that I knew the secret place

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #350 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Saint Thirsting After God Lyrics: 1 Oh that I knew the secret place Where I might find my God! I'd spread my wants before His face, And pour my woes abroad. 2 I'd tell him how my sins arise, What sorrows I sustain; How grace decays and comfort dies, And leaves my heart in pain: 3 He knows what arguments I'd take To wrestle with my God: I'd plead for His own mercy's sake-- And for my Savior's blood. 4 My God will pity my complaints, And drive my foes away; He knows the meaning of His saints When they in sorrow pray. 5 Arise, my soul! from deep distress, And banish every fear; He calls Thee to His throne of grace, To spread thy sorrow there.

Saviour, source of every blessing

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #362 (1867) Topics: Man a Saint Rejoicing in Deliverance Lyrics: 1 Saviour, source of every blessing, Tune my heart to grateful lays; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for ceaseless songs of praise. 2 Teach me some melodious measure, Sung by raptured saints above; Fill my soul with sacred pleasure, While I sing redeeming love. 3 Thou didst seek me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; Thou, to save my soul from danger, Didst redeem me with Thy blood. 4 By Thy hand restored, defended, Safe through life thus far I've come; Safe, O Lord, when life is ended, Bring me to my heavenly home.

Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #364 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Saint In Prospect of Heaven Lyrics: 1 Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell, With all your feeble light; Farewell, thou ever-changing moon, Pale empress of the night. 2 And thou, refulgent orb of day, In brighter flames arrayed! My soul, which springs beyond thy sphere, No more demands thine aid. 3 Ye stars are but the shining dust Of my divine abode- The pavement of those heavenly courts, Where I shall reign with God. 4 The Father of eternal light Shall there His beams display; Nor shall one moment's darkness mix With that unvaried day. 5 No more the drops of piercing grief Shall swell into mine eyes; Nor the noon-day sun decline, Amid those brighter skies. 6 There all the millions of His saints Shall in one song unite; And each the bliss of all shall share, With infinite delight.

Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints

Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 2 Sweet bonds, that unite all the children of peace! And thrice precious Jesus, whose love cannot cease! Though oft from Thy presence in sadness I roam, I long to behold Thee in glory, at home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 3 I sigh from this body of sin to be free, Which hinders my joy and communion with Thee; Though now my temptations like billows may foam, All, all will be peace, when I'm with Thee at home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 4 While here in the valley of conflict I stay, Oh give me submission and strength as my day; In all my afflictions to Thee would I come, Rejoicing in hope of my glorious home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 5 Whate'er Thou deniest, oh give my Thy grace! The Spirit's sure witness, and smiles of thy face; Indulge me with patience to wait at Thy throne, And find even now a sweet foretaste of home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. 6 I long, dearest Lord, in Thy beauties to shine, No more as an exile in sorrow to pine, And in Thy dear image, arise from the tomb, With glorified millions to praise Thee at home. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. Languages: English

Oh for a closer walk with God

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #349 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Saint Thirsting After God 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 hours I once enjoyed! 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; And purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

When God revealed His gracious name

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #307 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Saint Pardoned Lyrics: 1 When God revealed His gracious name, And changed my mournful state, My rapture seemed a pleasing dream, The grace appeared so great. 2 The world beheld the glorious change, And did Thy hand confess; My tongue broke out in unknown strains, And sung surprising grace. 3 "Great is the work," my neighbors cried, And owned Thy power divine; "Great is the work," my heart replied, "And be the glory Thine." 4 The Lord can clear the darkest skies, Can give us day for night; Make drops of sacred sorrow rise To rivers of delight. 5 Let those that sow in sadness wait Till the fair harvest come; They shall confess their sheaves are great, And shout the blessings home.

How various and how new

Each morning shall Thy mercies show, Each night Thy love record. 2 Thy goodness, like the sun, Dawned on our early days, Err infant reason had begun To form our lips to praise. 3 Each object we beheld Gave pleasure to our eyes, And nature all our senses held In bands of sweet surprise. 4 But pleasures more refined Awaited that blest day, When light arose upon our mind To chase our sins away. 5 How various and how new Are Thy compassions, Lord! Eternity Thy truth shall show, And all Thy love record. Languages: English
