Lord, speak, and make me whole. 3 I am not worthy; yet, my God, How can I say Thee nay, Thee who didst give Thy flesh and blood My ransom-price to pay? 4 O come! in this sweet morning hour Feed me with food divine, And fill with all Thy love and power This worthless heart of mine.

The Powers Of Earth And Hell Combine

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The powers of earth and hell combine With Jesus war to wage; God laughs to scorn their mad design, And foils their impious rage. 2 Vain are the brutal pains they spend His purpose to defeat; Their wrongs and insults only tend His conquests to complete. 3 He triumphed on the accursèd tree, He burst the guarded grave; Then rose on high, by God’s decree, The world to sway and save. 4 Kings of the earth, your monarch learn; O kiss the Son of God; Nor bid His golden scepter turn Into an iron rod.

Is There A World Of Bitter Woe?

Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Is there a world of bitter woe Lyrics: 1 Is there a world of bitter woe, And never ending pain; Where tears of deepest anguish flow For ever—but in vain? 2 And it is written in the Word Of God, who cannot lie, That sinners who deny the Lord, Must go there when they die? 3 O then, what more than madness reigns Amongst our guilty race! Love we to dwell in burning pains, Beyond the reach of grace; 4 Where God shall bid His vengeance fall, His terrors still increase; And hope, that whispers peace to all, Shall never whisper peace? 5 Dare we the word of truth despise, The wrath of God defy? And proudly scorning to be wise, In sin and ruin lie? 6 Lord, teach my stubborn heart to feel The wonders of Thy love; Ere the last trumpet’s solemn peal Sounds through the vault above; 7 O may I learn, while yet brief space Thy mercy doth afford; To trust the promise of Thy grace, And live upon Thy Word: 8 So shall that voice which wakes the dead, And tells of judgment near, Which fills a guilty world with dread, Be music to mine ear. 9 So shall I rest from sorrow free, My fears and trials o’er; So pass through life’s tempestuous sea Safe to the happy shore.

When Christ to Judgment Shall Descend

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When Christ to judgment shall descend, And saints surround their Lord, He calls the nations to attend, And hear His awful word. 2. “Not for the want of bullocks slain Will I the world reprove; Altars, and rites, and forms are vain, Without the fire of love. 3. “And what have hypocrites to do To bring their sacrifice? They call My statutes just and true, But deal in theft and lies. 4. Could you expect to ’scape My sight, And sin without control? But I shall bring your crimes to light, With anguish in your soul. 5. Consider, ye that slight the Lord, Before His wrath appear, If once you fall beneath His sword, There’s no deliverer there. Used With Tune: CROWLE Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

When Filthy Passions, Or Unjust

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When filthy passions, or unjust, Professors’ minds control, When men give up the reins to lust, And interest sways the whole; 2 Or when they seek themselves to please, Decline each thorny road, Indulge their sloth, consult their ease, And slight the fear of God. 3 The faith is vain such men profess, It comes not from above; The righteous man doth righteousness, And true faith works by love. 4 Men’s actions with their minds will suit, By them the heart is viewed, A tree that bears corrupted fruit, Cannot be callèd good. 5 The Christian seeks his brother’s good, Sometimes beyond his own; Or, if self interest will intrude, It does not reign alone. 6 Help us, dear Lord, to honor Thee, Let our good works abound: Thou art that green, that faithful tree, From Thee our fruit is found.
