The converted Thief

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Regeneration First Line: As on the cross the Savior hung Lyrics: 1 As on the cross the Savior hung, And wept, and bled, and dy'd, He pour'd salvation on a wretch That languish'd at his side. 2 His crimes with inward grief and shame, The penitent confess'd; Then turn'd his dying eyes to Christ, And thus his prayer address'd: 3 "Jesus, thou son and heir of heaven, "Thou spotless lamb of God, "I see thee bath'd in sweat and tears, "And welt'ring in thy blood. 4 "Yet quickly, from these scenes of woe "In triumph thou shalt rise, "Burst thro' the gloomy shades of death, "And shine above the skies. 5 "Amid the glories of that world, "Dear Savior, think on me; "And in the vict'ries of thy death, Let me a sharer be." 6 His prayer the dying Jesus hears, And instantly replies, "To-day thy parting soul shall be With me in Paradise."

The happy change

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXXII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Regeneration First Line: In sin by blinded passions led Lyrics: 1 In sin by blinded passions led, In search of fancy's good we range; The paths of disappointment tread, To nothing fix'd, but love of change. 2 But when the Holy Ghost imparts A knowledge of the Saviour's love; Our wand'ring, weary, restless hearts, Are then renew'd no more to rove. 3 Now a new principle takes place, Which guides and animates the will, This love, another name for grace, Constrains to good, and bars from ill. 4 By love's pure light we soon perceive Our noblest bliss and proper end; And gladly ev'ry idol leave, To love and serve our Lord and friend.

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Regeneration First Line: When some kind shepherd from his fold Lyrics: 1 When some kind shepherd from his fold, Has lost a straying sheep, Through vales, o'er hills, he anxious roves, And climbs the mountain's steep. 2 But O the joy! the transport sweet! When he the wand'rer finds; Up in his arms he takes his charge, And to his shoulder binds. 3 Homeward he hastes to tell his joys, And make his bliss complete: The neighbours hear the news, and all The joyful shepherd greet. 4 Yet how much greater is the joy When but one sinner turns; When the poor wretch with broken heart, His sins and errors mourns. 5 Pleas'd with the news, the saints below, In songs their tongues employ; Beyond the skies, the tidings go, And Heaven is fill'd with joy. 6 Well-pleas'd the Father sees and hears The conscious sinner weep; Jesus receives him in his arms, And owns him for his sheep. 7 Nor angels can their joys contain, But kindle with new fire: "A wandering sheep's return'd," they sing, And strike the sounding lyre.
