And crown' your efforts with his grace,
And bless your little cot.
17. In town or city, high or low,
All is an empty bubble;
God be your portion and your hope,
Your Friend in time of trouble.
18 If friends should frown, if foes should smile,
There's nothing here complete,
I've found it so, and so will you,
The world is but a cheat.
Jesus-Jehovah-Alpha and Omega-The First and the
Last-The Almighty.
JESUS, Jehovah, O what a glorious name,
Eternal God, eternally the same;
Salvation was his plan ere time began;
Unceasing praise to him, both God and Man,
Sing, O my soul, redemption's work is done
In all my pray'rs I'll worship God the Son:
Eternal honours be to God the Lamb;
Hosanna be to God for such a plan:
O could ten thousand thousands trust in him!
Vain are mens' hopes to wash away their sin.
All hail, bless'd Jesus, who hast done the deed;
Heaven adore the Lamb, who stoop'd to bleed;
All pow'r in heav'n and earth belongs to him;
Let sinners worship God, who took their sin :
Pardon is full and free through Jesus' blood;
Happy's the man who trusts him as his God:
Archangels cast their crowns at Jesus' feet,
And well may I,-salvation is complete:
Yought but his blood could ever cleanse from sin ;
Damn'd are the souls that will not worship him:
) could poor sinners know what Christ has done,
Millions of souls redeem'd by God the Son.
Eternal love lay hid within each mind,
God was in Christ both merciful and kind."
Ah! what a price did man's redemption cost?
Take Christ away and all the world were lost.
Hosanna to his name who bled and died!
Enough is done,-God's Equal crucified,
Finish'd the work, and hell was overthrown,
Jesus hath shed his blood to save his own.
Rejoice, poor sinner, in his precious blood,
Salvation is alone the gift of God,
Ten thousand thousand souls can prove this true,
And if you're taught of God then so may you.
Not works of man, salvation is of God;
Dearly has Jesus bought them with his blood;
The Father gave them up unto his Son:
Hallelujahs now, the song's begun,
Eternal honours to the Eternal Three!
Let sinners look to Christ upon the tree;
Ah! there the work, the blessed work, was done,
Salvation was the work of God the Son;
Tell to the world this Saviour you have found,
Tell how you love the gospel's blessed sound;
Happy the man who humbly seeks his face,
Endless glory's the effect of special grace.
At Calv'ry's cross Christ paid the mighty sum;
Let ransom'd sinners glory in the Son;
My soul, rejoice, salvation is completed;
I will rejoice, for Satan is defeated,
Glory, glory, to the Eternal Three!
Happy is the man that's led to see
The love of God eternally is such
You cannot go to God and ask too much.
The Prayer of every Soul that's born of God.
Lord, lift up the light of thy countenance upon me.
Psalm iv. 6.
How sweet are the moments when Jesus is near;
There's nothing disturbs, for there's nothing to fear;
All things then around are but trifles to me,
My prison is open, and I am set free.
'Tis then I am longing to bow at his feet And join in the chorus Salvation complete ; O what a sweet song will poor sinners sing then, Ascribing salvation to God and the Lamb. 3 When Jesus is absent, what can I do then? Perplexed, tormented, a poor wretched man; My head, and my heart, and my soul, all confusion, And all I have trusted in seems a delusion. 1 Ah! what can I do in this sad situation; Perplexed with sin and the devil's temptation? My heart so deceitful I can't find it out,
I'm plagued with sins and tormented with doubt. 5 I hunt for a promise, but none suits my case, The devil he tells me I'm not call'd by grace; But still I must venture, I'll try him again, Since none ever sought the Lord Jesus in vain. 5 But ah! when I go I have nothing to say, I go with my doubts, and I bring them away, But still I am longing to see his dear face, And though he should slay me I'll trust in his grace. 7 And if I must perish, then let it be there; But while he saves sinners I will not despair; His blood is my plea, and this plea I will make, Since poor seeking sinners God will not forsake. Then go unbelief, and perplex me no more; I'd venture to leave my sad tale at his door, And if he refuse me and will not be seen, I'll look through the key-hole and try and see him.
9 If I catch but a glimpse I will urge my petition,
I'll tell of my wretched, my woeful condition;
Lord Jesus, come save me, come open the door,
And grant me a smile and my soul asks no more.
10 Ah! will he reject such a suitor as me?
Then what did he groan for on Calvary's tree?
It was for lost sinners, and that is my case,
I put in my plea, as 'tis all of grace.
11 And if I am lost then, I will be the first;
But no souls can be lost that in Jesus trust;
No never, no never, that never can be,
He finish'd salvation for such on the tree.
Nothing but the omnipotent power of God the Holy Ghost can make a man repent.
Without Me ye can do nothing. John xv. 5.
1 AH! what can break the heart of stone,
Or melt the adamant?
It is the pow'r of God alone
Can make a man repent.
2 As soon could stinking Laz'rus rise
And burst the bars of death:
Before a man can call on God
The Lord must give him breath.
3 How can a man that's dead repent?
What can a dead man do?
Jehovah makes the man alive,
Then tells him where to go.
4 He sets the man upon his legs
Before he bids him run,
Jehovah knows the man can't move,
He knows he cannot come.
5. God gives the man a will to come,
Then sets him on his feet;
This is the way Jehovah deals
With all his chosen sheep.
6 'Tis God puts words into the mouth,
Then bids the man to pray,
He brings the beggar to his door,
But never turns away.
7 He holds the blessings in his hand
He means to give to man,
And for them teaches man to pray,
This is Jehovah's plan.
8 For though the man was dead and blind,
He makes him live and see,
And by his Spirit leads the man
To see the bloody tree.
9 And when the Lord has brought him there, He wonders at the plan,
To see the God-Man bleeding there
For ruin'd wretched man.
10 "Tis there he sees what sin has done,
He'll wonder and adore ;
The man that has a view like this
Will boast of works no more.
11 To see what man's redemption cost,
The price immense indeed,
To save my guilty soul from hell,
The Son of God must bleed.
12 And did Jehovah take my flesh,
And bleed and die for me?
And shall I be asham'd to own
Salvation wholly free.
13 How base the wretch that dare to put
To grace his helping hand;
The man that is not sav'd by grace
By law will be condemn'd.
