Life is the time to serve the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 351 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Life is the time to serve the Lord, The time t'insure the great reward; And while the Spirit gives concern, The vilest sinner may return. 2 Life is the hour that God has given To 'scape from hell,and fly to heaven; The day of grace, and mortals may Secure the blessings of the day. 3 Then what my thoughts design to do, My hands with all your might pursue, Since no device, nor work if found, Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground.

My Opening Eyes with Rapture See

Author: James Hutton, 1715-1795 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 140 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My opening eyes with rapture see The dawn of this returning day; My thoughts, O God, ascend to Thee, While thus my early vows I pay. 2. I yield my heart to Thee alone, Nor would receive another guest: Eternal King, erect Thy throne, And reign sole monarch in my breast. 3. O bid this trifling world retire, And drive each carnal thought away; Nor let me feel one vain desire, One sinful thought, through all the day. 4. Then, to Thy courts when I repair, My soul shall rise on joyful wing, The wonders of Thy love declare, And join the strains which angels sing. Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM (Mason) Text Sources: J.

Saving Faith

Appears in 40 hymnals First Line: We have no outward righteousness Lyrics: 1 We have no outward righteousness, No merits or good works, to plead; We only can be saved by grace; Thy grace, O Lord, is free indeed. 2 Save us by grace, thro' faith alone, A faith thou must thyself impart; A faith that would by works be shown, A faith that purifies the heart: 3 This is the faith we humbly seek, The faith in thy all-cleansing blood; That faith which doth for sinners speak O let it speak us up to God!
