Encourag'd by thy word,
Ensnar'd too long my heart has been,
Ere God had built the mountains,
Far from the world, O Lord, I flee,
Father, forgive (the Saviour said),
Father of angels and of men,
Fervent persevering prayers,
Fierce passions discompose the mind,
Fix my heart and eyes on thine,
Forest beasts, that live by prey,
For mercies countless as the sands,
From Egypt lately freed,
From pole to pole let others roam,
From Sheba a distant report,
God, with one piercing glance, looks through, 223
Happy are they, to whom the Lord,
Hark, my soul! it is the Lord,
Hark! how time's wide-sounding bell,
Happy the birth where grace presides,
Heal us, Emmanuel, here we are,
Hear what God the Lord hath spoken,
Hear what the Lord, the great Amen,
He who on earth as man was known,
Here at Bethesda's pool the poor,
His master taken from his head,
Holy Lord God! I love thy truth, od odwestd:
Honour and happiness unite,
wold sody „2298,
Honey though the bee prepares,7'-19 970472059.
How blest the righteous are,
How blest thy creature is, O God,
How David, when by sin deceived,
How hurtful was the choice of Lot,'
How kind the good Samaritan, town?
How lost was my condition,
How soon the Saviour's gracious call, -
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds,
How tedious and tasteless the hours, 414 237691 49-
How welcome to the saints, when press'd,
Hungry, and faint, and poor,
I am (saith Christ) your glorious head,
Fask'd the Lord that I might grow,
If for a time the air be calm,
If Paul in Cæsar's court must stand,
If Solomon for wisdom pray'd,
If the Lord our leader be,
If to Jesus for relief,
Incarnate God! the soul that knows,
In ev'ry object here I see,
In evil long I took delight,
In mercy, not in wrath, rebuke,
In themselves as weak as worms,
In vain our fancy strives to paint,
Israel in ancient days,
I thirst, but not as once I did,
I was a grov'lling creature once,
I will praise thee ev'ry day,
I would, but cannot sing,
Jesus Christ, the Lord's anointed,
Jesus, to what didst thou submit,
Jesus, who bought us with his blood,
Jesus, whose blood so freely stream'd,
Jesus, where'er thy people meet,
Jesus is mine! I'm now prepar'd,
John, in vision, saw the day,
Joy is a fruit that will not grow,
Kindle, Saviour, in my heart,
Kindred in Christ, for his dear sake,
Legion was my name by nature,
Let hearts and tongue unite,
Let me dwell on Golgotha,
Let us adore the grace that seeks,
Let us love, and sing, and wonder,
Let worldly minds the world pursue,
Lord, my soul with pleasure springs,
Lord, thou hast won, at length I yield,
Lord, who hast suffer'd all for me,
*Lord, what is man! extremes how wide,
Manna to Israel well supplied,
Martha her love and joy express'd,
Mary to her Saviour's tomb,
May the grace of Christ our Saviour,
Mercy, O thou Son of David,
My barns are full, my stores increase,
My former hopes are fled,
My God! how perfect are thy ways,
My God! till I receiv'd thy stroke,
My harp untun'd and laid aside,
My song shall bless the Lord of all,
My soul once had its plenteous years,
My soul this curious house of clay,
My soul is beset,
My soul is sad and much dismay'd,
Now, gracious Lord, thine arm reveal,
Now let us join with hearts and tongues,
Now may fervent prayer arise,
Now may the Lord reveal his face,
Now, Lord, inspire the preacher's heart,
Now may He who from the dead,
Of all the gifts thine hand bestows,
Often thy public means of grace,
Oft as the bell, with solemn toll,
Oft as the leper's case I read,
Oft in vain the voice of truth,
O God, whose favourable eye,
O David's Son, and David's Lord,
O Lord, our languid souls inspire,
O Lord, how vile am I,
O Lord, my best desire fulfil,
O thou at whose almighty word,
O happy they who know the Lord,
O speak that gracious word again,
Oh! for a closer walk with God,
Oh, may the power which melts the rock,
O how I love thy holy word,
Once a woman silent stood,
On man, in his own image made,
On the same flower we often see,
One awful word which Jesus spoke,
One glance of thine, eternal Lord,
One there is, above all others,
Oppress'd with unbelief and sins,
Our Lord, who knows full well,
Pensive, doubting, fearful heart,
Physician of my sin-sick soul,
Pleasing spring again is here!
Poor Esau repented too late,
Poor sinners! little do they think,
Poor, weak, and worthless though I am,
Prayer an answer will obtain,
Preachers may, from Ezekiel's case,
Precious Bible! what a treasure,
Prepare a thankful song,
Refreshed by the bread and wine,
Rejoice, believer, in the Lord,
Remember us, we pray thee, Lord,
Return to bless my waiting eyes,
Safely through another week,
Salvation! what a glorious plan,
Sav'd by blood, I live to tell,
Saviour, shine and cheer my soul,
Saviour, visit thy plantation,
See Aaron, God's anointed priest,
See! another year is gone!
#See, how rude winter's icy hand,
See! the corn again in ear!
See the gloomy gath'ring cloud,
See, the world for youth prepares,
Shall men pretend to pleasure,
Sight, hearing, feeling, taste, and smell,
Simon, beware! (the Saviour said),
Sin, when view'd by Scripture light,
