Hymnal: PCSC1791 #31b (1791) First Line: How fast their guilt and sorrows rise Lyrics: 1 How fast their guilt and sorrows rise, Who haste to seek some idol god! I will not taste their sacrifice, Their off'rings of forbidden blood. 2 My God provides a richer cup, And nobler food to live upon, He, for my life, has offer'd up Jesus, his best beloved Son. 3 His love is my perpetual feast; By day his counsels guide me right; And be his name forever bless'd, Who gives me sweet advice by night. 4 I set him still before mine eyes; At my right hand he stands prepar'd To keep my soul from all surprise, And be my everlasting guard. Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English

Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove

O blest abode! I shall be near, and like my God; And flesh and sin no more controul The sacred pleasures of the soul. 6 My flesh shall slumber in the ground, Till the last trumpet’s joyful sound; Then burst the chains with sweet surprise And in my Saviour’s image rise.

[5 With speed he flew to my relief, As on a cherub’s wing he rode; Awful, and bright as light'ning shone The face of my deliverer God. 6 Temptations fled at his rebuke, The blast of his almighty breath; He sent salvation from on high, And drew me from the deeps of death.] 7 Great were my fears, my foes were great, Much was their strength, and more their rage; But Christ, my Lord, is conqu'ror still, In all the wars the proud can wage. 8 My song for ever shall record That terrible, that joyful hour; And give the glory to the Lord Due to his mercy and his power. Scripture: Psalm 18:1-9 Languages: English

What wars and strugglings in my breast! But through thy grace that reigns within, I guard against my darling sin. 4 That sin which close besets me still, That works and strives against my will; When shall thy Spirit's sov'reign power Destroy it, that it rise no more. 5 With an impartial hand, the Lord Deals out to mortals their reward: The kind and faithful souls shall find A God as faithful and as kind. 6 And men that love revenge shall know, God hath an arm of vengeance too: The just and pure, shall ever say, Thou art more pure, more just than they.

The light'ning of his spear? 4 He rides upon the winged wind, And angels in array, In millions, wait to know his mind, And swift as flames obey. 5 He speaks, and at his fierce rebuke Whole armies are dismay'd; His voice, his frown, his angry look, Strikes all their courage dead. 6 He forms our gen'rals for the field, With all their dreadful skill Gives them his awful sword to wield, And makes their hearts of steel. 7 Oft has the Lord whole nations bless'd, For his own church's sake: The pow'rs that give his people rest Shall of his care partake. Scripture: Psalm 18 Languages: English
