The Christian awakened—What must I do to be saved?

Author: Fawcett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXCIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Spiritual Conviction First Line: With melting Heart, and weeping Eyes Lyrics: 1 With melting Heart, and weeping Eyes, My guilty soul for mercy cries; What shall I do or whither flee, T'escape that vengeance due to me? 2 'Till now, I saw no danger nigh; I liv'd at ease, nor fear'd to die; Wrapt up in self-deceit and pride, "I shall have peace at last," I cry'd. 3 But when, great God, thy light divine Had shone on this dark soul of mine, Then, I beheld with trembling awe, The terrors of thy holy law. 4 How dreadful now, my guilt appears, In childhood, youth and growing years! Before thy pure descerning eye, Lord, what a filthy wretch as I! 5 Shall vengeance sill my soul pursue, Death and destruction are my due; Yet mercy can my guilt forgive, And bid a dying sinner live. 6 Does not thy sacred word proclaim Salvation free in Jesu's name? To him I look and humbly cry, "O save a wretch condemn'd to die!" Scripture: Acts 9:6 Languages: English

Justification by Faith, not Works; or, The Law condemns, Grace Justifies

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XCIV (1766) Topics: Conviction of Sin by the Law First Line: Vain are the Hopes the Sons of Men Lyrics: 1 Vain are the Hopes the Sons of Men On their own Works have built; Their Hearts by Nature all unclean, And all their Actions Guilt. 2 Let Jew and Gentile stop their Mouths Without a murm'ring Word, And the whole Race of Adam stand Guilty before the Lord. 3 In vain we ask God's righteous Law To justify us now, Since to convince, and to condemn, Is all the Law can do. 4 Jesus, how glorious is thy Grace. When in thy Name we trust! Our Faith receives a Righteousness That makes the Sinner just. Scripture: Romans 3:19-22 Languages: English

Lord, how secure muy Conscience was

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXV (1766) Topics: Conviction of Sin by the Law Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my Conscience was, And felt no inward Dread! I was alive without the Law, And thought my Sins were dead. 2 My Hopes of Heav'n were firm and bright, But since the Precept came, With a convincing Pow'r and Light, I find how vile I am. [3 My Guilt appear'd but small before, Till terribly I saw How Perfect, Holy, Just, and Pure, Was thine eternal Law. 4 Then felt my Soul the heavy Load; My Sins reviv'd again I had provok'd a dreadful God, And all my Hopes were slain.] 5 I'm like a helpless Captive sold, Under the Pow'r of Sin; I cannot do the Good I would, Nor keep my Conscience clean. 6 My God, I cry with ev'ry Breath For some kind Pow'r to save, To break the Yoke of Sin and Death, And thus redeem the Slave.

And now the Scales have left mine Eyes

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LXXXI (1766) Topics: Conviction of Sin by the Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 And now the Scales have left mine Eyes, Now I begin to see; Oh the curs'd Deeds my Sins have done! What murd'rous Things they be! 2 Were these the Traitors, dearest Lord, That thy fair Body tore? Monsters, that stain'd those heav'nly Limbs With Floods of purple Gore? 3 Was it for Crimes that I had done, My dearest Lord was slain, When Justice seiz'd God's only Son, And put his Soul to Pain? 4 Forgive my Guilt, O Prince of Peace, I'll wound my God no more; Hence from my Heart, ye Sins, be gone, For Jesus I adore. 5 Furnish me, Lord, with heav'nly Arms From Grace's Magazine, And I'll proclaim eternal War With ev'ry darling Sin.

My heart, how dreadful hard it is!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XCVIII (1766) Topics: Conviction of Sin by the Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 My Heart, how dreadful hard it is! How heavy here it lies, Heavy and cold within my Breast, Just like a Rock of Ice! 2 Sin, like a raging Tyrant, sits Upon this flinty Throne, And ev'ry Grace lies bury'd deep Beneath this Heart of Stone. 3 How seldom do I rise to God, Or taste the Joys above? This Mountain presses down my Faith, And chills my flaming Love. 4 When smiling Mercy courts my Soul With all its heav'nly Charms, This stubborn, this relentless Thing Would thrust it from my Arms. 5 Against the Thunders of thy Word, Rebellious I have stood; My Heart! it shakes not at the Wrath And Terrors of a God. 6 Dear Saviour, steep this Rock of mine In thine own Crimson Sea! None but a Bath of Blood divine Can melt the Flint away. Languages: English
