1 HYMN 232. L. M. Barbauld. Truro, Blendon. AWAKE, my soul! lift up thine eyes; See where thy foes against thee rise 3 Thou tread'st upon enchanted ground; HYMN 233. L. M. Armley, Bath. CRUTTENDEN. WHAT jarring natures dwell within, Imperfect grace, remaining sin! Nor this can reign, nor that prevail, Tho' each by turns my heart assail. 2 Now I complain, and groan and die,Now raise my songs of triumph high; Sing a rebellious passion slain, Or mourn to feel it live again. 3 One happy hour beholds me rise, HYMN 234. C. M. Windsor, Plymouth. STENNETT. In-dwelling sin lamented. WITH tears of anguish I lament, My passion, pride, and discontent, 2 Sure there was ne'er a heart so base, So prone to every sin. 3 How long, Dear Saviour, shall I feel These struggles in my breast? When wilt thou bow my stubborn will, And give my conscience rest? 4 Break, sov'reign grace, O break the charm, And set the captive free: Reveal, Almighty God, thine arm, 1 HYMN 235. L. M. Kingsbridge, Putney. LORD, I'm defl'd in evold my h 2 This gives my drowsy heart a spring, HYMN 236. C. M. Clarendon, Colchester. Self examination. 2 Cor. xiii. 5. "TIS IS first of all thyself to know, 2 To know thy wretched sinful state, To feel thy guilt exceeding great, 3 To know thy law-condemned case, Thy heart subdu'd by sov'reign grace, And humbled in the dust: 4 To know the pangs of pious grief, To know that nought can give relief, 5 To know that thou art born of God, HYMN 237. L. M. PRES. DAVIES. Carthage, Kingsbridge. 1 ND what am I?-My soul, awake, Does no dark sign, no ground of fear, 2 What image does my spirit bear! In thought, and word, and action shine? 3 Searcher of hearts, O search me still; The secrets of my soul reveal ;— Scatter the clouds which o'er my head Thick glooms of dubious terrors spread. 4 May I at that blest world arrive, Where Christ thro' all my soul shall live; And give full proof that he is there, Without one gloomy doubt or fear, HYMN 238. 7st NEWTON. Montpelier, Finedon. In darkness. 1 NCE I thought my mountain strong, Firmly fix'd no more to move; Then my Saviour was my song, Little thought of Satan's pow'r; Now I feel the stormy hour! 3 Saviour, shine and cheer my soul, HYMN 239. 8s. NEWTON. Lambeth, Uxbridge. OW tedious and tasteless the hours H When Jesus no longer I see! Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flow'rs, Have lost all their sweetness to me. |
