Do Not I Love Thee, O My Lord?

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 321 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Do not I love Thee, O my Lord? Behold my heart and see; And turn each cursèd idol out, That dares to rival Thee. 2. Do not I love Thee, O my Lord? Then let me nothing love; Dead be my heart to every joy, When Jesus cannot move. 3. Is not Thy name melodious still To mine attentive ear? Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound My Savior’s voice to hear? 4. Hast Thou a lamb in all Thy flock I would disdain to feed? Hast Thou a foe, before whose face I fear Thy cause to plead? 5. Would not mine ardent spirit vie With angels round the throne, To execute Thy sacred will, And make Thy glory known? 6. Would not my heart pour forth its blood In honor of Thy name? And challenge the cold hand of death To damp th’immortal flame? 7. Thou know’st I love Thee, dearest Lord, But O, I long to soar Far from the sphere of mortal joys, And learn to love Thee more!

When, rising from the bed of death

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 260 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, rising from the bed of death, O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear, I see my Maker face to face, Oh, how shall I appear! 2 But there's forgiveness, Lord, with Thee; Thy nature is benign: Thy pardoning mercy I implore, For mercy, Lord, is Thine. 3 Oh, let Thy boundless mercy shine On my benighted soul! Correct my passions, mend my heart, And all my fears control. 4 And may I taste Thy richer grace, In that decisive hour, When Christ to judgment shall descend And time shall be no more. Amen.
