30362God oft gives me days of gladness, Shall I grieve If He give Seasons too of sadness?
30362Had God been averse to me, Would He have supported All the gifts so rich and free He to me imparted?
30362Had I no debt of sin to face, How could I ever share Thy grace?
30362Hast thou death deserv''d for ever?
30362Hath He not all the weary way From youth till now thee led, Oft chas''d misfortune''s clouds away That gather''d o''er thy head?
30362Have I e''er been vexèd sore?
30362Have I pleasure?
30362Have I riches?
30362His people''s cry Shall God deny, Who day and night are praying?
30362Hollow and unfaithful ever Is the friendship of the earth; Seemeth she a man to favour?
30362How is it reason finds it hard, The truth so oft rejecteth, That Thou with favour dost regard E''en while Thy hand afflicteth?
30362How long shall I in grief lie low, And inward sorrow grieve me?
30362How long shall I, thy stricken child, Bereft of soul- rest languish?
30362How long shall my proud enemy, Who only meaneth ill to me, Exult o''er me in triumph?
30362How long shall storm and wind so wild, Fill heart with fear and anguish?
30362How long will sorrow on me press And deep heart- anguish grieve me?
30362How long wilt chide, And Thy face hide, In darkness let me languish?
30362How long, Lord, in forgetfulness And darkness wilt Thou leave me?
30362How will my bounding heart With joy be overflowing, Praise evermore renewing, When through the door of heaven By Thee is entrance given?
30362I am God''s, and mine is God, Who from Him can part me?
30362I have deserv''d it, cease t''oppose The Lord''s will, shall I never?
30362If I''m then a child of grace, Should I shun God ever, When He from sin''s devious ways, Seeks me to deliver?
30362If my cup should overflow, Proud in spirit I might grow, Thee deny with scornful word, Asking who is God and Lord?
30362In patience am I giving Myself to just such woe?
30362In suff''rings art thou doom''d to live?
30362Is God for me?
30362Is it from Thee?
30362Is it not pure love that filleth, And His faithful heart o''erflows, When He ever cares for those, Who do only what He willeth?
30362Is the handredweight thy gain?
30362Is this felicity?
30362Is this the first time we have known And tasted sore affliction?
30362Is''t so?
30362It is thought, that at this time Gerhardt wrote his heart- stirring and beautiful hymn,--Ist Gott für mich, so trete?
30362Jesus, why should they so grieve Thee, Who''re uncircumcis''d in heart, By this rite?
30362Mine art thou still, and mine shalt be, Who will be this denying?
30362Mine eyes scarce ope are keeping, A moment-- I''ll be sleeping, Where''s body then and soul?
30362Must I be passing Through cares harassing?
30362Must I then His own restore Him?
30362My Saviour, what dejects Thee, And causeth all Thy woe?
30362My body what but grass so dry?
30362My face, why should''st thou troubled be When thou of death art hearing?
30362No stone, our Saviour God art Thou, How canst Thou so afflict us now?
30362O my soul, why dost thou grieve, Why dost mourn so bitterly, That more freely God doth give Gifts to others than to thee?
30362Of wealth, what is thy store?
30362Reflect, my friend, say, if you know What station is there here below Without its fall and daily share Of sorrow, pain, and anxious care?
30362SAY WITH WHAT SALUTATIONS?
30362SHALL I NOT MY GOD BE PRAISING?
30362Satan e''er fool''d me before?
30362Satan''s wiles dost thou not see?
30362Say who to pale hath made it?
30362Say with what salutations Shall I Thine advent greet?
30362Say, where a place to lay my head, On earth had I attainèd?
30362Seems help impossible to thee?
30362Shake thy head in scorn, and"flee,"Bid the old deceiver--"Wilt renew thy thrusts at me, Me to fear deliver?
30362Shall He be reproach''d by men Through thy sore dejection?
30362Shall I not my God be praising, And in Him not joyful be?
30362Shall cradled infants feel the stroke, Shall they endure the heavy yoke?
30362She will smile on us, and nourish; Doth misfortune o''er us low''r?
30362So darest thou His pow''r so great Ne''er doubt a moment even, Who is it that doth all create,-- By whom all gifts are given?
30362Soul, why art thou sad and dreary?
30362The heart of Herod loathèd Thee, Yet what art Thou?
30362The life we''re living What is it giving?
30362The tent- like firmament who builds, Who spreads th''expanse of blue, Who sends to fertilize our fields Refreshing rain and dew?
30362Thou art but man, to thee''tis known, Why dost thou then endeavour To do what God should do alone, Or can accomplish ever?
30362Thou art my only light below, No other helper here I know; I wait on Thee both night and day, Why dost Thou, then, O Lord, delay?
30362Thou spring of boundless blessing, How could e''er my feeble mind Of Thy depth the bottom find, Though my efforts were unceasing?
30362Though a heavy cross I''m bearing, And my heart Feels the smart, Shall I be despairing?
30362Though he rage sore, What can he more Than soul and body sever?
30362Thy foes why should they move thee?
30362To glad our eyes, by whose decree, Say, hath the light appearèd?
30362To us vouchsafèd can it be The Sun of Righteousness to see, The Star from Jacob''s stem so bright, The woman''s Seed, the Gentiles''Light?
30362To wring my heart with anguish?
30362WHY WITHOUT, THEN, ART THOU STAYING?
30362What God doth who can e''er explore, And say what He rejoiceth o''er?
30362What are they Better than small dust of earth?
30362What can I with my utmost pow''r?
30362What can death''s poison do to me?
30362What can there be( I ask of thee) That can arise, To fear thee to deliver?
30362What do they eat and drink, and what gain do they get?
30362What dost thou think and speak, What''s fathomless, art sounding?
30362What good did all the might of men Do, when to thee were given Life, mind, and pow''r from heaven?
30362What good the life I''m living?
30362What harm can do Our soul''s dread foe To us at all, Though full of gall his spirit?
30362What hast Thou e''er neglected For my good here below?
30362What have we had but grief alone On earth, and sore dejection?
30362What have we here or what are we, Of good what can earth give, That we do not alone from Thee, Our Father, aye receive?
30362What is His wide dominion fair?
30362What is all this life possesseth?
30362What is the sum of all our gain From youth to age, but toil and pain, Heart- sorrow and vexation?
30362What is there in sky or sea, What the wide earth over, What that works no good for me, Canst thou then discover?
30362What meaneth He?
30362What means He to announce to us, Who nature''s course can alter thus?
30362What mortal knows His Maker''s mind?
30362What shall I do then, Lord?
30362What should thus in sorrow sink us?
30362What to- day my heart doth gladden, That to- morrow doth not sadden?
30362What use, though much we''ve learnèd here, If first we do not learn Thy fear, And ne''er to serve Thee right attain?
30362What will be then Thy greeting, Me and my brethren meeting?
30362What''s Satan''s might and majesty?
30362What''s it worth?
30362What''s measureless, art bounding?
30362When did God command me Judgment to require from thee?
30362Where shall I from Thy Spirit fly, Escape from Thine omniscient eye?
30362Where shall I from Thy presence hide, And where remote from Thee abide?
30362Where were thy mind and will and heart When land and ocean over, Yea, even earth''s remotest part, The sky was spread to cover?
30362Who can declare,"My house was ever All free from care, And troubled never?"
30362Who can rob me of my heaven That God''s Son, As mine own, To my faith hath given?
30362Who car''d for thee ere light of day Had dawn''d upon thy vision, While in the womb thy soul still lay As in a gloomy prison?
30362Who did pow''r on thee bestow Sentence to deliver?
30362Who hath thy frame replenish''d With members fair and finish''d?
30362Who hath thy veins in order laid, For each a course convenient made?
30362Who is he that could ever find The counsel out God hath decreed, The way wherein He''d have us tread?
30362Who is it life and health bestows, Who keeps us with His hand In golden peace, wards off war''s woes, From our dear native land?
30362Who is it that afflicts Thee?
30362Who is the Master, where is he, Who in perfection sketcheth The hands this infant dear to me Now smilingly outstretcheth?
30362Who made the sun and moon to shine, Who gave herbs, trees, and beasts as thine, Who bid them satisfy thee, And no desire deny thee?
30362Who thought upon thy welfare then?
30362Who warmeth us in cold and frost, Who shields us from the wind, Who orders it that wine and must We in their season find?
30362Whose skill was it that fashion''d thee?
30362Why are, but for good to me, Air and water given?
30362Why com''st Thou, Lord, so slowly To free me from this state?
30362Why do clouds their streams outpour?
30362Why do dews earth cover?
30362Why do star so beauteously Shine on us from Heaven?
30362Why do thy cares both night and day Grieve thee so bitterly?
30362Why dost Thou let me feel such smart, Pass through such tribulation?
30362Why for thy life should care so grieve thee, How to nourish and sustain it?
30362Why should sorrow ever grieve me?
30362Why should tears so freely flow?
30362Why should they such pain e''er give Thee, Why inflict such cruel smart?
30362Why through holy men of old Have God''s words been given?
30362Why wilt thou thyself so weary When there is no need for thee?
30362Why with verdure''s cover''d o''er, Why flow blessings over Hill and valley, field and wood?
30362Why without, then, art Thou staying, Blessed of the Lord from far?
30362Will not God''s own Son now bless us?
30362Wilt Thou Thy face, Lord, utterly Turn from me?
30362Wilt Thou eternally repel, And show Thy goodness never?
30362Wilt Thou give ever To me whatever My life is needing?
30362Wilt Thou then grieve me, Gall to drink give me?
30362Wilt thou do what is for thy good, And what thy God good seeth?
30362Would I have life?
30362dearest love, why was I born, If Thou my soul forsakest?
30362fairest one, what faileth me In Thy great love, of blessing?
30362from hour to hour But what Thyself art giving?
30362is this magnificence?
30362my work then bless; Is it of man?
30362now turn Thine eyes away From paths where I have gone astray; Of my ill ways what thinkest Thou, That I''ve pursued from youth till now?
30362to Thee we sing 37 In grateful songs your voices raise 238 In prayer your voices raise ye 45 Is God for me?
30362what shall I do for Thee For all the good Thou doest me, Thus saving me and shielding?
30362where art thou vanish''d?
30362who dost Heav''n''s sceptre wield What is it that now makes our field, And everything that it doth bear, Such sad and ruin''d aspect wear?
30362why permittest Thou my soul To sink in sore dejection?
30362why should the thought of death With terror make me shiver?
30362wilt Thou, Unmindful of me, leave me?
30362wilt ne''er look on me In grace and in compassion?
33180If He Giveth Quiet, Who Can Make Trouble?
331801 Am I a soldier of the cross, And pledged to bear its shame?
331801 Brother, hast thou wandered far From thy Father''s happy home, With thyself and God at war?
331801 Brother, will you slight the message Sent in mercy from above?
331801 Feeble, helpless, how shall I Learn to live and learn to die?
331801 Grows dark thy path before thee?
331801 Hast thou,''midst life''s empty noises, Heard the solemn steps of Time, And the low, mysterious voices Of another clime?
331801 Hath not thy heart within thee burned At evening''s calm and holy hour, As if its inmost depths discerned The presence of a loftier power?
331801 How long, O Lord, his brother''s blood Shall man in battle spill?
331801 O Lovely Voices of the sky, Which hymned the Saviour''s birth, Are ye not singing still on high, Ye that sang,"Peace on earth"?
331801 O where are kings and empires now Of old that went and came?
331801 O, where shall rest be found, Rest for the weary soul?
331801 Shall we grow weary in our watch, And murmur at the long delay, Impatient of our Father''s time And his appointed way?
331801 The land our fathers left to us Is foul with hateful sin; When shall, O Lord, this sorrow end, And hope and joy begin?
331801 Was it in vain that Jesus prayed For those he came to save, When darkly o''er his path was laid The shadow of the grave?
331801 What shall we ask of God in prayer?
331801 Where is thy sting, O death?
331801 Who is thy neighbor?
331801 Why, thou never- setting Light, Is thy brightness veiled from me?
331801 Wilt Thou not visit me?
331801 Wouldst thou in thy lonely hour Praises to the Eternal pour?
331801"Is this a fast for me?"
331802 And shall we fear to tread The path where Jesus led, The pure and holy one, for man who died?
331802 And thus shall faith''s consoling power The tears of love restrain; O, who that saw thy parting hour Could wish thee here again?
331802 Brought safely by His hand thus far, Why wilt thou now give place to fear?
331802 Can loving children e''er reprove With murmurs whom they trust and love?
331802 Can rites, and forms, and flaming zeal, The breaches of Thy precepts heal?
331802 Early hath life''s mighty question Thrilled within thy heart of youth, With a deep and strong beseeching,-- What, and where, is truth?
331802 Hast thou not heard''mid forest glades, While ancient rivers murmured by, A voice from forth the eternal shades, That spake a present Deity?
331802 Hast thou wasted all the powers God for noble uses gave?
331802 Hath Jesus loved and prayed in vain?
331802 He has taught us to forgive, By his words in days gone by; He has taught us how to live; Can he teach us how to die?
331802 How long shall glory still be found In scenes of cruel strife, Where misery walks, a giant crowned, Crushing the flowers of life?
331802 Is true freedom but to break Fetters for our own dear sake, And with leathern hearts forget That we owe mankind a debt?
331802 Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas?
331802 O, who like thee,--so calm, so bright, So pure, so made to live in light?
331802 On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose?
331802 Poor tremblers at His rougher wind, Why do we doubt Him so?
331802 Said not oft those pleading eyes That they longed for purer skies?
331802 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and offerings divine?
331802 Thus it saith; in accents mild,--"Weary wanderer, wayward child, From thy Father''s earnest love Still forever wilt thou rove?
331802 Thy neighbor?
331802 Was not our Lord a little child, Taught by degrees to pray, By father dear and mother mild Instructed day by day?
331802 Went I not forth undaunted and alone, Strong in the majesty of human might?
331802 What good, though growing might and wealth Shall stretch from shore to shore, If thus the fatal poison- taint Be only spread the more?
331802 What now shall affright us?
331802 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o''er Ceylon''s isle; Though every prospect pleases, And only man is vile?
331802 What though the wild winds rage around?
331802 What voice shall bid the progress stay Of truth''s victorious car?
331802 Who, among men, great Lord of all, Thy servant to his bar shall call?
331802 Why art thou cast down, my soul?
331802 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth?
331802 Wilt Thou not visit me?
331802 Wouldst thou a temple?
331802 Wouldst thou, when thy faults are known, Wish that pardon should be shown?
331802"No; is not this alone The sacred fast I choose: Oppression''s yoke to burst in twain, The bands of guilt unloose?
331803 And as, upon the sacred page, Thine eye in rapt attention turned O''er records of a holier age, Hath not thy heart within thee burned?
331803 And evermore beside him on his way, The unseen Christ shall move, That he may lean upon his arm and say,"Dost thou, dear Lord, approve?"
331803 And loved he not of heaven to talk With children in his sight, To meet them in his daily walk, And to his arms invite?
331803 Are there no foes for me to face?
331803 Did ever trouble yet befall, And He refuse to hear thy call?
331803 Does any from the false world find Naught but reproach and scorn?
331803 Fain would earth''s true and dear Save me in this dark hour; And art not Thou more near?
331803 Gethsemane can I forget?
331803 Hath God cast off forever?
331803 His rest?
331803 Is a mighty famine now In thy heart and in thy soul?
331803 O, who like thee so humbly bore The scorn, the scoffs, of men before?
331803 O, why should anxious thought Press down your weary mind?
331803 Roll back the swelling tide of sin, The lust of gain, the lust of power; The day of freedom usher in: How long delays the appointed hour?
331803 Shall man remain in silence, then, While all beneath the skies The chorus joins?
331803 Shall we, whose souls are lighted By wisdom from on high, Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny?
331803 Shouldst thou helpless be and poor, Wouldst thou not for aid implore?
331803 So, trusting in Thy love, I tread The narrow path of duty on; What though some cherished joys are fled?
331803 The ocean, that in mountains ran, Spreads boundlessly without a wave; And is it only said of man, His peace is in the grave?
331803 Then, death, where is thy sting?
331803 Thy neighbor?
331803 Was I not girded for the battle- field?
331803 We are His people, we His care, Our souls and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy name?
331803 What is that great intent On which each heart is bent, Our hosts among?
331803 What our foes?
331803 What though in lonely grief I sigh For friends beloved, no longer nigh?
331803 Where now is death''s terror?
331803 Who shall make trouble, then?
331803 Who with another''s eye can read, Or worship by another''s creed?
331803 Why seeks he not a home of rest?
331803"To nakedness and want Your food and raiment deal, To dwell your kindred race among, And all their sufferings heal?
331804 And shall man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come?
331804 And though some tones be weak and low, What are all prayers beneath, But cries of babes, that can not know Half the deep thought they breathe?
331804 But never rose within his breast A trust so calm and deep as now;-- Shall not the weary find a rest?
331804 Hath He His loving- kindness Shut up in bitter wrath?
331804 Is there a thing beneath the sun, That strives with Thee my heart to share?
331804 Think what Spirit dwells within thee; Think what Father''s smiles are thine; Think that Jesus died to win thee; Child of heaven, canst thou repine?
331804 Thy neighbor?
331804 We slumber while the present calls, But darkness grows with rest; Wouldst thou see truth?
331804 What if death my sleep invade;-- Should I be of death afraid?
331804 What shall make trouble?
331804 What sought they thus afar?
331804 When should not they rejoice, Whom Christ his brethren calls; Who hear and know his guiding voice, When on their hearts it falls?
331804 Where, then, art thou?
331804 Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage?
331804 Wouldst thou in thy lonely hour Praises to the Eternal pour?
331804"Wouldst live in earth as lives The glorious One above?
331805 And though Thy wisdom takes away, Shall I arraign Thy will?
331805 And was his mortal hour beset With anguish and dismay?
331805 The terror and the charm repel, And powers of earth, and powers of hell; The Man of Calvary triumphed here; Why should his faithful followers fear?
331805 Then wherefore should we grieve Or what have we to fear?
331805 Thy neighbor?
331805 What shall make trouble?
33180And has He not His promise past, That thou shalt overcome at last?
33180And shall I fear to own Christ''s cause, Or blush to speak his name?
33180And shall it ever be, That after all our toils and tears Thy sabbath we shall see?
33180And where thy victory, grave?
33180Are They Not All Ministering Spirits?
33180Are we not brothers all?
33180Art Thou not love and power?
33180Bore I not helm of pride and glittering sword?
33180Bright jewels of the mine?
33180Can time His truth impair?
33180Did not oft the falling tear Speak of roughening billows here?
33180Discontent upon thy brow?
33180Does any, stung by words unkind, Wish that he ne''er was born?
33180Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
33180God, thy God, shall make thee whole; Why art thou disquieted?
33180His tender mercy never Shall we presume to share?
33180How canst thou want if He provide, Or lose thy way with such a guide?
33180How long that mandate be withstood, Which cries,"Thou shalt not kill?"
33180How may we meet our conflict yet In the dark, narrow way?
33180How, but through him that path who trod?
33180If ye do not feel the chain, When it works a brother''s pain, Are ye not base slaves indeed, Slaves unworthy to be freed?
33180Judge him, for modes of faith, Thy foe, Or doom him to the realms of woe?
33180Lord, to Whom Shall We Go?
33180Must I not stem the flood?
33180O Death, Where Is Thy Sting?
33180O, who like thee did ever go So patient through a world of woe?
33180Or fasts and penance reconcile Thy justice, and obtain Thy smile?
33180Or shall we shrink from shame, Endured for Jesus''name, Our glorious Lord, once spurned and crucified?
33180Or there thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember thee?
33180Praise His name for life and light; Are the shadows lengthening o''er us?
33180Prayed we not that she might rest On her Heavenly Father''s breast?
33180S. M.* Why Art Thou Cast Down, My Soul?
33180Shall sloth and faintness win Thy peace, O Thou, the martyr''s God?
33180So meek, forgiving, godlike, high, So glorious in humility?
33180Squandered life''s most golden hours?
33180That hidden world no eye can see,-- O, who shall pierce its mystery?
33180The chief of all the sons of men, Shall we not welcome him?
33180The wealth of seas, the spoils of war?
33180Thou wilt not tremble at the sound; What though the waters o''er thee roll?
33180Thus saith the Lord our God;"A day for man to vex his soul, And feel affliction''s rod?
33180To whom shall we Thy children turn?
33180What are ages, in Thy sight, But as yesterday when past, Or a watch within the night?
33180What arm arrest the growing day, Or quench the solar star?
33180What is Prayer?
33180What radiant light dispels the gloom?
33180What reckless soul, though stout and strong, Shall dare bring back the ancient wrong, Oppression''s guilty night prolong, And freedom''s morning bar?
33180What though some flattering dreams are gone?
33180Where art thou?--''midst the host above May we still gaze on thee?
33180Who Is My Neighbor?
33180Who shall lead thy child to Thee?
33180Who, O God, my guide shall be?
33180Why does this unwonted night Cloud thy blest benignity?
33180Why seeks he not the pillowed bed?
33180Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Saviour, go?
33180Why should the earth be drenched with gore?
33180Your downcast eyes and hands lift up; Doubt not, nor cry"O God, how long?"
33180and wilt Thou condescend To be my Father and my Friend?
33180does its beauteous ray Aught of hope or joy foretell?
33180he must win Fair Zion''s gate through ranks of sin; Why are these words, this solemn show, If sin be not his deadly foe?
33180is day before us?
33180know ye not that ye The temple are of God?
33180look above,-- The heavens stretch over all in love; A book?
33180thy friend, thy master, prayed, While dread and anguish shook his frame, Then met his sufferings undismayed; Wilt thou not strive to do the same?
33180what offering shall we bring, At Thine altars when we bow?
33180where thy victory?
33180whose boast it is that ye Come of fathers brave and free, If there breathe on earth a slave, Are ye truly free and brave?
33180will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth?
13166And cherish such an impious thought within,That the All- Holy would indulge thy sin?"
13166Are my eyes charm''d thy vestments to behold,Glaring in gems, and gay in woven gold?"
13166Are not our lips our ownthey cry,"And who shall be our lord?"
13166Are not thy servants turn''d to dust?
13166Deep in the dust can I declareThy truth, or sing thy goodness there?
13166Or hast thou made mankind in vain? 13166 Or say, our lips are not our own?"
13166When did I thirst, or drink thy bullocks blood? 13166 1 And will the God of grace Perpetual silence keep? 13166 1 Are all the foes of Sion fools, Who thus devour her saints? 13166 1 Are sinners now so senseless grown That they thy saints devour? 13166 1 Consider all my sorrows, Lord, And thy deliverance send; My soul for thy salvation faints, When will my troubles end? 13166 1 Hear me, O God, nor hide thy face, But answer lest I die; Hast thou not built a throne of grace To hear when sinners cry? 13166 1 How long wilt thou conceal thy face? 13166 1 How long, 0 Lord, shall I complain Like one that seeks his God in vain? 13166 1 How shall the young secure their hearts, And guard their lives from sin? 13166 1 I will extol thee, Lord, on high, At thy command, diseases fly; Who but a God can speak and save From the dark borders of the grave? 13166 1 Is there ambition in my heart? 13166 1 Judges, who rule the world by laws, Will ye despise the righteous cause, When th''injur''d poor before you stands? 13166 1 Just are thy ways, and true thy word, Great rock of my secure abode; Who is a God beside the Lord? 13166 1 Lord, hast thou cast the nation off? 13166 1 Lord, what was man, when made at first, Adam the offspring of the dust, That thou shouldst set him and his race But just below an angel''s place? 13166 1 My Saviour, my almighty Friend, When I begin thy praise, Where will the growing numbers end, The numbers of thy grace? 13166 1 My refuge is the God of love; Why do my foes insult and cry,Fly like a timorous trembling dove,"To distant woods or mountains fly"?
131661 Shew pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive, Let a repenting rebel live: Are not thy mercies large and free?
131661 The Lord my shepherd is, I shall be well supply''d; Since he is mine, and I am his, What can I want beside?
131661 Thou God of love, thou ever blest, Pity my suffering state; When wilt thou set my soul at rest From lips that love deceit?
131661 What shall I render to my God For all his kindness shown?
131661 Where shall the man be found That fears t''offend his God, That loves the gospel''s joyful sound, And trembles at the rod?
131661 Where shall we go to seek and find An habitation for our God, A dwelling for th''Eternal Mind Amongst the sons of flesh and blood?
131661 Who shall ascend thy heavenly place, Great God, and dwell before thy face?
131661 Who shall inhabit in thy hill, O God of holiness?
131661 Who will arise and plead my right Against my numerous foes, While earth and hell their force unite, And all my hopes oppose?
131661 Why did the Jews proclaim their rage?
131661 Why did the nations join to slay The Lord''s anointed Son?
131661 Why do the proud insult the poor, And boast the large estates they have?
131661 Why do the wealthy wicked boast, And grow profanely bold?
131661 Why doth the Lord stand off so far, And why conceal his face, When great calamities appear, And times of deep distress?
131661 Why doth the man of riches grow To insolence and pride, To see his wealth and honours flow With every rising tide?
131661 Why should I vex my soul and fret To see the wicked rise?
131661 Will God for ever cast us off?
131661"Why has my God my soul forsook,"Nor will a smile afford?"
1316610 Canst thou for ever sit and hear Thine holy Name profan''d?
1316610"Can I be flatter''d with thy cringing bows,"Thy solemn chatterings and fantastic vows?
1316613 Is not the world of nature thine, The darkness and the day?
1316613"Silent I waited with long suffering love;"But didst thou hope that I should ne''er reprove?
1316614 Hath not thy power form''d every coast, And set the earth its bounds, With summer''s heat and winter''s frost, In their perpetual rounds?
1316615 And shall the sons of earth and dust That sacred power blaspheme?
131662 Bless, O my soul, the God of grace; His favours claim thy highest praise; Why should the wonders he hath wrought Be lost in silence and forgot?
131662 But there''s a brighter world on high, Thy palace, Lord, above the sky: Who shall ascend that blest abode, And dwell so near his Maker God?
131662 But who among the sons of men May visit thine abode?
131662 Does not my soul detest and hate The sons of malice and deceit?
131662 Hast thou not writ salvation down, And promis''d quickening grace?
131662 Have ye forgot, or never knew, That God will judge the judges too?
131662 How long shall my poor labouring soul Wrestle and toil in vain?
131662 If government be all destroy''d( That firm foundation of our peace) And violence make justice void, Where shall the righteous seek redress?
131662 Lord, shall it be for ever said,"The race of man was only made"For sickness, sorrow, and the dust?"
131662 Lord, shall the wicked still deride Thy justice and thy pow''r?
131662 Lord, while we see whole nations die, Our flesh and sense repine and cry,"Must death for ever rage and reign?
131662 Shall I for ever be forgot As one whom thou regardest not?
131662 Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray, Nor let our sun go down at noon: Thy years are one eternal day, And must thy children die so soon?
131662 That thou shouldst raise his nature so And make him lord of all below; Make every beast and bird submit, And lay the fishes at his feet?
131662 Turn, turn thee to my soul, Bring thy salvation near: When will thy hand release my feet Out of the deadly snare?
131662 When shall I see thy courts of grace, And meet my God again?
131662 Who knows the wonders of thy ways?
131662 Why should I make a man my trust?
131662 Why will ye then frame wicked laws?
131662 Wilt thou forsake my hoary hairs, And leave my fainting heart?
131662[ Why doth he treat the poor with scorn, Made of the self- same clay, And boast as tho''his flesh was born Of better dust than they?]
131663 As the benighted pilgrims wait, And long, and wish for breaking day, So waits my soul before thy gate; When will my God his face display?
131663 Dost thou not dwell among the just?
131663 Great God, whom heavenly hosts obey, How long shall we lament and pray, And wait in vain thy kind return?
131663 Hast thou not promis''d to thy Son And all his seed a heavenly crown?
131663 How long shall my poor troubled breast Be with these anxious thoughts opprest?
131663 I cry''d aloud to thee, my God,"What canst thou profit by my blood?
131663 Temptations vex my weary soul, And tears are my repast; The foe insults without control,"And where''s your God at last?"
131663 The sparrow chuses where to rest, And for her young provides her nest: But will my God to sparrows grant That pleasure which his children want?
131663 When God, our leader, shines in arms, What mortal heart can bear The thunder of his loud alarms?
131663 When shall the sovereign grace Of my forgiving God Restore me from those dangerous ways My wandering feet have trod?
131663 When shall thy Name, from shore to shore, Sound all the earth abroad, And distant nations know and love Their Saviour and their God?
131663 Which of the sons of Adam dare, Or angels, with their God compare?
131663 Why did the Gentiles rage, And Jews with one accord Bend all their counsels to destroy Th''anointed of the Lord?
131663 Why should I make a man my trust?
131663"And what have hypocrites to do"To bring their sacrifice?
131663"Hear me, O Lord, and save thy Son,"Nor hide thy shining face;"Why should thy favorite look like one"Forsaken of thy grace?
131663"This is the man did once pretend"God was his father and his friend;"If God the blessed lov''d him so,"Why doth he fail to help him now?"
131663"Where is thy promise to the just?
131664 Are not thy mercies sovereign still?
131664 Didst thou not raise my faith, O Lord?
131664 Doth secret mischief lurk within?
131664 Hast thou not given thy word To save my soul from death?
131664 I''ll cast myself before his feet, And say"My God, my heavenly Rock,"Why doth thy love so long forget"The soul that groans beneath thy stroke?"
131664 If he afflicts his saints so far To prove their love, and try their grace, What may the bold transgressors fear?
131664 In vain to idol- saints they cry, And perish in their blood; Where is a rock so great, so high, So powerful as our God?
131664 Lord, what is worthless man, That thou shouldst love him so?
131664 My eyes with expectation fail, My heart within me cries,"When will the Lord his truth fulfil,"And make my comforts rise?"
131664 Shall I be still tormented more?
131664 Their hands shall bear you, lest you fall And dash against the stones: Are they not servants at his call, And sent t''attend his sons?
131664 This life''s a dream, an empty show; But the bright world to which I go Hath joys substantial and sincere; When shall I wake, and find me there?
131664 What are the earth''s wide kingdoms else But mighty hills of prey?
131664 What power could make the deep divide?
131664 With hoary frost he strews the ground; His hail descends with clattering sound: Where is the man so vainly bold That dares defy his dreadful cold?
131664"Could you expect to''scape my sight,"And sin without control?
131664"There''s none of all my sons above,"So much my image or my love;"Celestial powers thy subjects are,"Then what can earth to thee compare?
131664"Yet shall our words be free,"they cry,"Our tongue shall be controll''d by none:"Where is the Lord will ask us why?
131665 But why, my soul, sunk down so far Beneath this heavy load?
131665 Does not my heart thy precepts love, And long to see thy face?
131665 Hast thou not planted with thy hands A lovely vine in heathen lands?
131665 He rules by his resistless might: Will rebel mortals dare Provoke th''Eternal to the fight, And tempt that dreadful war?
131665 How will they bear to stand Before that judgment- seat, Where all the saints at Christ''s right hand In full assembly meet?
131665 I''ll chide my heart that sinks so low, Why should my soul indulge her grief?
131665 Let the unthinking many say,"Who will bestow some earthly good?"
131665 Lord, shall thy bright example shine In vain before my eyes?
131665 My heart and flesh cry out for thee, While far from thine abode: When shall I tread thy courts, and see My Saviour and my God?
131665 Nature and time, and earth and skies, Thy heavenly skill proclaim: What shall we do to make us wise, But learn to read thy Name?
131665 Shall they escape without thy frown?
131665 What should I wish or wait for then From creatures, earth and dust?
131665 Which of the stocks or stones they trust Can give them showers of rain?
131665 Why do the men of malice rage, And say with foolish pride,"The God of heaven will ne''er engage To fight on Zion''s side?"
131666 At thy rebuke, O Jacob''s God, Both horse and chariot fell; Who knows the terrors of thy rod?
131666 But I with flowing tears Indulge my doubts to rise"Is there a God that sees or hears"The things below the skies?"]
131666 But who can speak thy wondrous deeds?
131666 Could I so false, so faithless prove, To quit thy service and thy love, Where, Lord, could I thy presence shun, Or from thy dreadful glory run?
131666 For thee I thirst, I pray, I mourn; When will thy smiling face return?
131666 I call''d thy mercies to my mind Which I enjoy''d before; And will the Lord no more be kind?
131666 If I were hungry would I ask thee food?
131666 Lord, where shall guilty souls retire, Forgotten and unknown?
131666 O who can ever find The errors of his ways?
131666 When shall my feet arise and stand On heaven''s eternal hills?
131666 Why will my Father hide his face, When foes stand threatening round, In the dark hour of deep distress, And not an helper found?
131666[ Let sinners and their wicked rage Be humbled to the dust; Shall not the God of truth engage To vindicate the just?
131667 What is the creature''s skill or force, The sprightly man, the warlike horse, The nimble wit, the active limb?
131667 What power can stand before thy sight When once thy wrath appears?
131667 Why is its beauty thus defac''d?
131667 Will he for ever cast me off?
131667 Yet they provok''d the Lord most high, And dar''d distrust his hand;"Can he with bread our host supply"Amidst this desert land?"
131668 Awake, arise, almighty Lord, Why sleeps thy wonted grace?
131668 Silent I waited with lone- suffering love, But didst thou hope that I should ne''er reprove?
131668 Who knows the errors of his thoughts?
131669 How long, eternal God, how long Shall men of pride blaspheme?
131669 Mortals, can you refrain your tongue, When nature all around you sings?
131669 Wilt thou for ever cast us off And still neglect our cries?
131669 Yet if thy sovereign hand let loose The rage of earth and hell, Why will my heavenly Father bruise The Son he loves so well?
131669"If I were hungry, would I ask thee food?
13166Against the Lord their powers engage His dear anointed to destroy?
13166And God for ever hide his love?
13166And I still pray and be deny''d?
13166And cherish such an impious thought within, That God the righteous would indulge thy sin?
13166And never worship at thy throne, Nor fear thine awful power?
13166And still despair of thy return?
13166And still thy jealousy forbear, And still withhold thine hand?
13166And thou a faithful God?
13166And whence the fright that Sinai feels?
13166Are my eyes charm''d thy vestments to behold, Glaring in gems, and gay in woven gold?
13166Are not thy servants day by day Sent to their graves, and turn''d to clay?
13166Can I be flatter''d with thy cringing bows, Thy solemn chatterings and fantastic vows?
13166Can he be deaf who form''d their ears?
13166Canst thou thy face for ever hide?
13166Dare ye condemn the righteous poor, And let rich sinners''scape secure, While gold and greatness bribe your hands?
13166Did not thy power defend it round, And heavenly dews enrich the ground?
13166Didst thou not bid the morning shine, And mark the sun his way?
13166Do I indulge some unknown sin?
13166Do they not know her Saviour rules, And pities her complaints?
13166Doth not my heart address thy throne?
13166For ever hide thine heavenly love From our afflicted eyes?
13166Great is the Lord; what tongue can frame An equal honour to his Name?
13166Has he forgot his tender love?
13166Hast thou not given this sign?
13166High in the heavens his justice reigns?
13166His face appear no more?
13166His promise ever fail?
13166His wrath for ever smoke Against the people of his love, His little chosen flock?
13166How long shall thy fierce anger burn?
13166How long, almighty God, how long?
13166How long, my God, how long before Thine hand afford relief?
13166Lord, where''s thy kindness to the just?
13166Make Jordan backward roll his tide?
13166May not a sinner trust in thee?
13166May we not trust and live upon A promise so divine?
13166Mine eye consum''d with grief?
13166Must their devices stand?
13166Must we for ever mourn?
13166My God, how long delay?
13166Or blind, who made their eyes?
13166Or truth compar''d to thine?
13166Or where''s a refuge like our God?
13166Or why support th''unrighteous cause?
13166Search, gracious God, and see; Or do I act a haughty part?
13166Shall all my joys on earth remove?
13166Shall anger still prevail?
13166Shall mercy ne''er return?
13166Shall saints be made their endless song, And bear immortal shame?
13166Shall they advance their heads in pride, And still thy saints devour?
13166Short from the cradle to the grave: Who can secure his vital breath Against the bold demands of death, With skill to fly, or power to save?
13166Still shall my soul thine absence mourn?
13166The God of justice hold his peace, And let his vengeance sleep?
13166The Romans why their swords employ?
13166The lightning of his spear?
13166Thy vengeance who can tell?
13166When did I thirst, or drink thy bullocks blood?
13166When shall I feel those heavenly rays That chase my fears away?
13166When shall I make thy grace my song?
13166When shall the just revive, and reign O''er all that scorn''d them here?
13166When shall thine hour of grace return?
13166When will ye once defend the poor, That sinners vex the saints no more?
13166Where can a creature hide?
13166Where is the man that draws his breath Safe from disease, secure from death?
13166Where is the power that vies with thee?
13166Who can this King of glory be?
13166Who shall fulfil thy boundless praise?
13166Who shall sustain my sinking years If God my strength depart?
13166Whom will the Lord admit to dwell So near his throne of grace?
13166Why did they cast his laws away, And tread his gospel down?
13166Why did ye leap, ye little hills?
13166Why do my thoughts indulge despair, And sin against my God?
13166Why hast thou laid her fences waste?
13166Why should we look like men abhorr''d, Or banish''d from thy face?
13166Will not thy hand that form''d them first Avenge thine injur''d Name?
13166Wilt thou indulge immortal wrath?
13166Wilt thou not grant me warmer zeal To run the heavenly road?
13166how couldst thou hope to please A God, a spirit, with such toys as these?
13166why should I be So far from all my joys and thee?
20476Canst thou find out the Almighty?
20476Is it such a fast that I have chosen?
20476The Fathers, where are they?
20476Whither shall I go from thy presence?
20476Who shall abide in thy tabernacle?
20476Why sayest thou-- my way is hid from the Lord?
204761 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb?
204761 And art thou with us, gracious Lord, To dissipate our fear?
204761 And can my heart aspire so high, To say,"My Father,"God?
204761 And is the gospel peace and love?
204761 And is there, Lord, a rest, For weary souls designed, Where not a care shall stir the breast, Or sorrow entrance find?
204761 As o''er the past my memory strays, Why heaves the secret sigh?
204761 Bereft of all, when hopeless care Would sink us to the tomb, O what can save us from despair?
204761 Bound upon the accursed tree, Faint and bleeding, who is he?
204761 Brother, hast thou wandered far From thy father''s happy home?
204761 Can creatures to perfection find Th''eternal, uncreated Mind?
204761 Father of all, omniscient Mind, Thy wisdom who can comprehend?
204761 Feeble, helpless, how shall I Learn to live and learn to die?
204761 Friend after friend departs; Who hath not lost a friend?
204761 God is my strong salvation; What foe have I to fear?
204761 God is our refuge and defence, In trouble our unfailing aid; Secure in his omnipotence, What foe can make our soul afraid?
204761 How shall I praise th''eternal God, That infinite Unknown?
204761 How shall the young secure their hearts, And guard their lives, from sin?
204761 Is there a lone and dreary hour, When worldly pleasures lose their power?
204761 Is there ambition in my heart?
204761 Lord, must we die?
204761 Lord, we come before thee now; At thy feet we humbly bow; O, do not our suit disdain; Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain?
204761 Lord, who''s the happy man, that may To thy blest courts repair, Not, stranger- like, to visit them, But to inhabit there?
204761 My God, thy service well demands The remnant of my days; Why was this fleeting breath renewed, But to renew thy praise?
204761 Say, why should friendship grieve for those Who safe arrive on Canaan''s shore?
204761 The evils that beset our path, Who can prevent or cure?
204761 Were not the sinful Mary''s tears An offering worthy heaven, When, o''er the faults of former years, She wept, and was forgiven?
204761 What if the little rain should say, So small a drop as I Can ne''er refresh these thirsty fields, I''ll tarry in the sky?
204761 What shall we render, bounteous Lord, For all the grace we see?
204761 When God descends with men to dwell, And all creation makes anew, What tongue can half the wonders tell?
204761 When shall the voice of singing Flow joyfully along?
204761 When, as returns this solemn day, Man comes to meet his Maker, God, What rites, what honors shall he pay?
204761 Where shall the child of sorrow find A place for calm repose?
204761 Where shall we go to seek and find A habitation for our God?
204761 Who is thy neighbor?
204761 Who shall a temple build for him, Who fills the heaven of heavens alone?
204761 Who shall towards thy chosen seat Turn, O Lord, his favored feet?
204761 Why do we mourn departed friends, Or shake at death''s alarms?
204761 Why weep for those, frail child of woe, Who''ve fled and left thee mourning here?
204761 Would you behold the works of God, His wonders in the world abroad?
204761"Is this a fast for me?"
204761''T is a point I long to know,-- Oft it causes anxious thought,-- Do I love the Lord, or no?
204762 And didst thou bleed?--for sinners bleed?
204762 And have we heard the word with joy?
204762 Bound upon the accursed tree, Sad and dying, who is he?
204762 But hast thou finally forsook, Forever cast thine own away?
204762 Doth thy right hand, which formed the earth, And bears up all the skies, Stretch from on high its friendly aid, When dangers round us rise?
204762 For whom, for whom, my heart, Were all these sorrows borne?
204762 From marble domes and gilded spires, Shall curling clouds of incense rise?
204762 God is a King of power unknown; Firm are the orders of his throne; If he resolve, who dare oppose, Or ask him why or what he does?
204762 Hast thou wasted all the powers God for noble uses gave?
204762 If I love, why am I thus?
204762 Is it where sunny skies grow dim With smoke of heathen sacrifice?
204762 Is there a blissful home, Where kindred minds shall meet, And live and love, nor ever roam From that serene retreat?
204762 Is there a time of rushing grief, Which scorns the prospect of relief?
204762 Is there no kind, no healing art, To soothe the anguish of the heart?
204762 Lord, what offering shall we bring, At thine altars when we bow?
204762 Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas?
204762 O Thou, who didst allow Thy Son to suffer thus, Father, what more couldst thou have done Than thou hast done for us?
204762 Our fathers, where are they, With all they called their own?
204762 Say, does my heart unchanged remain, Or is it formed anew?
204762 Tender are the rites we pay, Pastor, o''er thy sleeping clay; We, who late the welcome gave, Must we bear thee to thy grave?
204762 The Saviour bids you speed; O, wherefore then delay?
204762 The rush of numerous years bears down The most gigantic strength of man; And where is all his wisdom gone, When dust he turns to dust again?
204762 Though high above all praise, Above all blessing high, Who would not fear his holy name, And laud and magnify?
204762 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
204762 Thy hand has raised us from the dust; The breath of life thy Spirit gave; Where, but in thee, can mortals trust?
204762 Thy neighbor?
204762 We mourn for those who sin?
204762 What friend have I in heaven or earth, What friend to trust but thee?
204762 What if a shining beam of noon Should in its fountain stay, Because its feeble light alone Can not create a day?
204762 What mortal hand shall dare to paint A semblance of thy glory, Lord?
204762 What though my house be not with thee As nature could desire?
204762 What voice shall bid the progress stay Of truth''s victorious car?
204762 When disciplined by long distress, And led through paths of fear and woe, Say, dost thou love thy children less?
204762 Who is my neighbor?
204762 Who with another''s eye can read, Or worship by another''s creed?
204762 Why art thou cast down, my soul?
204762 Why hast thou cast our lot In the same age and place?
204762 Why should I shrink at thy command, Whose love forbids my fears?
204762 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth?
204762 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb?
204763 Amidst the various scenes of ills, Each blow some kind design fulfils; And can I murmur at my God, While love supreme directs the rod?
204763 And could a single pious soul So rich a boon obtain?
204763 And do you love him?
204763 Bound upon the accursed tree, Dread and awful, who is he?
204763 But will indeed Jehovah deign Here to abide, no transient guest?
204763 Dear is the spot where Christians sleep, And sweet the strain which angels pour; O why should we in anguish weep?
204763 Doth not each rain- drop help to form The cool, refreshing shower, And every ray of light to warm And beautify the flower?
204763 If I pray, or hear, or read, Sin is mixed with all I do; You that love the Lord indeed, Tell me, is it thus with you?
204763 In search of empty joys below, Why toil with unavailing strife?
204763 Is a mighty famine now In thy heart and in thy soul?
204763 Is there an hour of peace and joy, When hope is all my soul''s employ?
204763 Nought doth the world afford, But toil must be the price; Wilt thou not, servant of the Lord, Then toil for paradise?
204763 O, when shall these glad tidings spread The spacious earth around, Till every tribe and every soul Shall hear the joyful sound?
204763 Saw ye not the cloud arise, Little as a human hand?
204763 Say, shall we yield him in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and offerings divine?
204763 Shall man remain in silence, then, While all beneath the skies The chorus joins?
204763 Shall we, whose souls are lighted By wisdom from on high, Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny?
204763 The debtor humbly sues, Who would, but can not pay; And shall I lenity refuse, Who need it every day?
204763 The graves of all his saints he blest, And softened every bed: Where should the dying members rest, But with their dying Head?
204763 Thy neighbor?
204763 We are his people; we his care; Our souls, and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to thy name?
204763 We mourn the sunshine of his smile, The tendrils of his love; Oh, was he loved too well the while Ere he was called above?
204763 We yet survive, but who can say, Or through the year, or month, or day, We shall retain this vital breath, Secure from all the shafts of death?
204763 What if the springs of life were broke, And flesh and heart should faint?
204763 What tongue can tell the crown prepared The martyr''s brow to grace?
204763 When in a weary land we tire, And our exhausted powers expire, With toil, and care, and heat oppressed, Where shall our languid spirits rest?
204763 Who may share this great salvation?
204763"Shall day like this have power To stay th''avenging hand, Efface transgression, or avert My judgments from the land?
204764 And shall not wrath relent, Touched by that humble strain, My brother crying,"I repent, Nor will offend again?"
204764 And was his mortal hour beset With anguish and dismay?
204764 Are not the righteous dear to thee Now, as in ancient times?
204764 Better than life itself thy love, Dearer than all beside to me; For whom have I in heaven above, Or what on earth, compared with thee?
204764 But never rose within his breast, A trust so calm and deep as now; Shall not the weary find a rest?
204764 But who can speak thy wondrous deeds?
204764 Canst thou, my soul, these wonders trace, And not admire Jehovah''s grace?
204764 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid his breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom;--Who has taken him away?
204764 O, stay thy tears: the blest above Have hailed a spirit''s heavenly birth, And sung a song of joy and love; Then why should anguish reign on earth?
204764 O, wondrous knowledge, deep and high; Where can a creature hide?
204764 Our eyes have seen the steps of age Halt feebly towards the tomb; And yet shall earth our hearts engage, And dreams of days to come?
204764 Such love can we unmoved survey?
204764 The infinite Creator can Dwell in it; and may not man?
204764 The terror and the charm repel, And powers of earth and powers of hell, The man of Calvary triumphed here;-- Why should his faithful followers fear?
204764 Thee to perfection who can tell?
204764 Then who would choose to walk abroad, While here such joys are given?
204764 These are a portion of his ways: But who shall dare describe his face?
204764 Thy neighbor?
204764 When shall our happy eyes behold Thy people, fashioned in thy mould?
204764 Who, then, deserves to be adored, But God, on whom my hopes depend?
204764 Why seeks he not a home of rest?
204764 With contrite hearts, Lord, we confess Our folly and unsteadfastness: When shall these hearts more stable be, Fixed by thy grace alone on thee?
204764 Yet I mourn my stubborn will, Find my sin a grief and thrall; Should I grieve for what I feel, If I did not love at all?
204765 And though thy wisdom takes away, Shall I arraign thy will?
204765 Every note with wonder swell,-- And the Saviour''s triumph tell; Where, O death, is now thy sting?
204765 How else, on soaring wing, Can hope bear high my prayer, Up to thy throne, my God, my King, To plead for pardon there?
204765 How long, dear Saviour, O how long Shall this bright hour delay?
204765 O, when, Almighty Lord, Shall these glad scenes arise, To verify thy word, And bless our wondering eyes?
204765 Thy neighbor?
20476A dwelling for th''Eternal Mind Among the sons of flesh and blood?
20476Am I his, or am I not?
20476And charity our kindred prove Derived from thee, O God of love?
20476And could the sun behold the deed?
20476And gems, and gold, and garlands deck The costly pomp of sacrifice?
20476And have we felt its power?
20476And shall I fear to own his cause, Or blush to speak his name?
20476And why are so seldom the meetings of prayer?
20476And why together brought To see each other''s face?
20476But shall we only render The tribute of our words?
20476Canst thou behold thy Prophet''s power, And not the God he served adore?
20476Did e''er such love and sorrow meet?
20476Discontent upon thy brow?
20476Dost thou proclaim thyself our God, Our God forever near?
20476For a rest so serene, for a covert so fair: Ah, why are the seasons of worship so few?
20476Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
20476God, thy God, shall make thee whole: Why art thou disquieted?
20476Great God, and shall a nation cry, And plead with thee in vain?
20476Have I renounced my sins, and left My refuges of lies?
20476Here will the world''s Redeemer reign, And here the Holy Spirit rest?
20476His shining robe, his joys unknown, Before thy glorious face?
20476How may we meet our conflict yet In the dark, narrow way?
20476How spread his Sovereign''s praise abroad?
20476How, but through him that path who trod?
20476Is it where northern meteors shine Or gilds the cross the southern main?
20476Its highest point what eye can find, Or to its lowest depths descend?
20476No answering voice is here, Say-- does the soldier sleep?
20476O, may I call thee mine?
20476On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose?
20476Or can the largest stretch of thought Measure and search his nature out?
20476Or does this sinful land exceed Gomorrah in her crimes?
20476Or feel at death dismay?
20476Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
20476Or tremble at thy gracious hand That wipes away my tears?
20476Or twilight sleeps on desert sands?
20476Or where, in costly domes, the hymn Is taught on incense clouds to rise?
20476Or whither from thy presence run?
20476Or who, except the mighty Lord, Can with resistless power defend?
20476Our love so faint, so cold to thee, And thine to us so great?
20476Praise his name for life and light; Are the shadows lengthening o''er us?
20476Said he, to those who with him trod,"Would ye be my disciples?
20476Search, gracious God, and see; Or do I act a haughty part?
20476Squandered life''s most golden hours?
20476Tell me, my soul, can this be death?
20476Though hosts encamp around me, Firm to the fight I stand; What terror can confound me With God at my right hand?
20476To join with softest sympathy, And mix our friendly souls in thee?
20476To rest?
20476To thee, the uncreated Mind, What earthly altar shall we raise?
20476What arm arrest the growing day, Or quench the solar star?
20476What dissipate the gloom?
20476What eye the dazzling glories view?
20476What is Prayer?
20476What is the rule by which I walk, The object I pursue?
20476What is this absorbs me quite, Steals my senses, shuts my sight, Drowns my spirits, draws my breath?
20476What is your Life?
20476What mortal eloquence can raise His tribute of immortal praise?
20476What radiant light dispels the gloom?
20476What reckless soul, though stout and strong, Shall dare bring back the ancient wrong, Oppression''s guilty night prolong, And freedom''s morning bar?
20476What words of heavenly birth Thrill deep our hearts again, And fall like dew- drops to the earth?
20476When shall my labors have an end In joy, and peace and thee?
20476When shall these eyes thy heaven- built walls And pearly gates behold?
20476Where are the dews that fed thee On Ethan''s barren shore?
20476Where breaks the dawn o''er spicy lands?
20476Where is God?
20476Where is Heaven?
20476Where shall I find Him, O my soul, Who yet is everywhere?
20476Where thy terrors, vanquished king?
20476Where, Lord, could I thy influence shun?
20476Who can ascend his high abode, Or venture near his throne?
20476Who can endure his light, or stand To hear the thunders of his hand?
20476Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst t''assuage?
20476Who his quiet shall molest?
20476Who shall Zion''s hill ascend?
20476Who shall at thine altar bend?
20476Who shall exalt his glorious name, Fixed in his everlasting throne?
20476Who shall lead thy child to thee?
20476Who shall violate his rest?
20476Who, O God, my guide shall be?
20476Who, but our God, has power to save?
20476Who, great God, a welcome guest, On thy holy mountain rest?
20476Why did he feel that piercing smart, And meet that cruel scorn?
20476Why on his offspring is conferred Of love so large a share?
20476Why seeks he not a pillowed bed?
20476Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Saviour go?
20476Why should I shrink at pain and woe?
20476Why this dull and lifeless frame?
20476Wilt thou not bid the murderers look On Him they pierced, and weep and pray?
20476With thyself and God at war?
20476Without a false disguise?
20476and may these lips Pronounce a name so dear?
20476and shall we ever live At this poor dying rate?
20476and wilt thou condescend To be my Father and my Friend?
20476canst thou repine?
20476do you feel Your warm affection move?
20476does its beauteous ray Aught of joy or hope foretell?
20476from thy ways Who can tell how oft he strays?
20476is day before us?
20476still sleeps thy tuneful string?-- Still mute remains thy sullen tongue, And Zion''s song denies to sing?
20476sweeps the line That marks thy kingdom''s holy reign?
20476those chains, That clank on Freedom''s plains, By Christians wrought?
20476what for thee, In a world like this, remains?
20476what mean those holy voices, Sweetly sounding through the skies?
20476what of the night?"
20476where is thy sting?
20476where is thy victory?
20476where shall we find A temple suited to thy praise?
20476whither would ye go?
20476will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth?
20476with all thy care Thy true condition learn; What are thy hopes-- how sure, how fair, And what thy great concern?
16455''Tis the Spirit calling, why delay?
16455134 What Hast Thou Done for Me?
16455137 Saw Ye My Savior?
164552 Are we not tending upward, too, As fast as time can move?
164552 Are you walking daily by the Savior''s side?
164552 Can aught, beneath a power divine, The stubborn will subdue?
164552 Can you sleep while homes are rent, Christian soldier?
164552 Delay not, delay not; why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God?
164552 Do not I love thee, from my soul?
164552 Do the tears flow down your cheeks unbidden?
164552 Dost thou not dwell in all the saints, And seal the heirs of heaven?
164552 For thee, my God, the living God, My thirsty soul doth pine; Oh, when shall I behold thy face, Thou Majesty divine?
164552 Has thy night been long and mournful?
164552 Have we trials and temptations?
164552 How can a soul condemned to die, Escape the just decree?
164552 If at the dawn of the early morning, He shall call us one by one, When to the Lord we restore our talents, Will he answer thee-- Well done?
164552 If he our ways should mark With strict inquiring eyes, Could we for one of thousand faults A just excuse devise?
164552 Is not e''en death a gain to those Whose life to God was given?
164552 Is there no kind, no lenient art, To heal the anguish of the heart?
164552 Is your heart warm glowing, With his love o''erflowing, And his goodness showing More and more each day?
164552 Jesus, my Savior, on Calvary''s tree Paid the great debt, and my soul he set free; Oh, it was wonderful, how could it be?
164552 Lord, turn thee to my soul; Bring thy salvation near; When will thy hand release my feet From sin''s destructive snare?
164552 Must I be carried to the skies On flow''ry beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed thro''bloody seas?
164552 Oh, when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where congregations ne''er break up, And Sabbaths have no end?
164552 Shall I be at work, for Jesus, Whilst he leads me by the hand, And to those around be saying, Come and join this happy band?
164552 Shall we, whose souls are lighted By wisdom from on high, Shall we to man benighted The light of life deny?
164552 Sinners, turn; why will ye die?
164552 Though high above all praise, Above all blessing high, Who would not fear his holy name, And laud and magnify?
164552 Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
164552 Was it for crimes that I have done He groaned upon the tree?
164552 Wealth, labor, talents freely give, Yea, life itself, that they may live, What hath your Savior done for you?
164552 What do you hope, dear brother, To gain by a further delay?
164552 What is faith''s foundation strong?
164552 What is my being, but for thee, Its sure support, its noblest end?
164552 What means this wondrous story The holy angels tell?
164552 Where dost thou at noon- tide resort with thy sheep, To feed in the pastures of love?
164552 Where is the blessedness I knew When first I saw the Lord?
164552 Who can his mighty deeds express, Not only vast-- but numberless?
164552 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee?
164552 Who''ll be the next to follow Jesus-- Follow his weary, bleeding feet?
164552 Would you calmly walk the wave?
164552"Sprinkled now with blood the throne-- Why beneath thy burdens groan?
164552''Tis but in part I know thy will; I bless thee for the sight; When will thy love the rest reveal, In glory''s clearer light?
16455207 Why Do You Wait?
16455219 Who''ll Be the Next?
16455226 Are You Ready?

16455247 Is My Name Written There?
16455282 Are You Washed in the Blood?
164553 All- seeing, powerful God, Who can with thee contend?
164553 And now Christ is ready your souls to receive; Oh, how can you question, if you will believe?
164553 Are there no foes for me to face?
164553 Burdened with guilt, would''st thou be blessed?
164553 Burdened with sin''s oppressive chain, Oh, how can I get free?
164553 But who can speak thy wondrous deeds?
164553 But will he prove a friend indeed?
164553 By these may I be warned betimes; Who knows the guile within?
164553 Can you linger in your tent, Christian soldier?
164553 Clouds and darkness round us press; Would we have one sorrow less?
164553 Do you fear the gath''ring clouds of sorrow?
164553 Do you not feel, dear brother, His Spirit now striving within?
164553 Have we been true to the trust he left us?
164553 Hear you now his loving voice?
164553 I need thy presence every passing hour; What but thy grace can foil the tempter''s power?
164553 Is not thy name melodious still, To mine attentive ear?
164553 O, why should I wander an alien from thee, Or cry in the desert for bread?
164553 Oh, who, like thee, so humbly bore The scorn, the scoffs of men before?
164553 Our God in pity lingers still; And wilt thou thus his love requite?
164553 See, from his head, his hands, his feet Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e''er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
164553 Sinners, turn; why will ye die?
164553 Such was our Lord; and shall we fear The cross with all its scorn?
164553 We are his people, we his care-- Our souls, and all our mortal frame; What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to thy name?
164553 What, though thou rulest not?
164553 When faith is weak, and courage fails, When grief or doubt our soul assails, Who can, like thee, our spirits cheer?
164553 When shall I reach that happy place, And be forever blest?
164553 When shall the sov''reign grace Of my forgiving God Restore me from those dangerous ways My wand''ring feet have trod?
164553 When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white, Pure and white in the blood of the Lamb?
164553 Who is life in life to me?
164553 Who''ll be the next to follow Jesus?
164553 Why bend these Eastern sages To one of lowly birth?
164553 Why should I shrink at pain and woe?
164553 Why should this anxious load Press down your weary mind?
164553 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb?
164553 Would you have your cares grow light?
16455322 How Can I but Love Him?
164554 A tent or a cottage, why should I care?
164554 Are you troubled at the tho''t of dying?
164554 Dear Lord, if indeed I am thine, If thou art my sun and my song, Say, why do I languish and pine?
164554 Grieving, would you comfort know?
164554 How far may we go on to sin?
164554 Jesus, we look to thee;-- Where else can sinners go?
164554 Lives again our glorious King: Where, O death, is now thy sting?
164554 The graves of all the saints be blessed, And softened every bed; Where should the dying members rest, But with the dying Head?
164554 When will my pilgrimage be done, The world''s long week be o''er, That Sabbath dawn which needs no sun, That day which fades no more?
164554 Who''ll be the next to follow Jesus, Down thro''the Jordan''s rolling tide?
164554 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
164554 Why will you be starving, and feeding on air?
16455421 Is Your Lamp Still Burning?
16455422 Will Jesus Find Us Watching?
164555 Have I long in sin been sleeping, Long been slighting, grieving thee?
164555 When I see, in spring- tide gay, Fields their varied tints display, Wakes the thrilling thought in me, What must their Creator be?
164555 Would you strength in weakness have?
164556 That blest moment I received him, Filled my soul with joy and peace: Love I much?
16455A fountain is opened,--how canst thou refuse To wash, and be cleansed in his pardoning blood?
16455Ah, who that loves can love enough?

16455And did my Sovereign die?
16455And does thy cup with love o''erflow?
16455And drink the flowing fountain Of everlasting love?
16455And shall I fear to own his cause, Or blush to speak his name?
16455And what for him will ye not do?
16455And why are my winters so long?
16455And why in the valley of death should I weep, Or alone in the wilderness rove?
16455And with my blessed Jesus Drink endless pleasures in?
