A TABLE

FIRST LINE.

A

A Believer free from care

Afflictions do not come alone

Afflictions, though they seem severe

A garden contemplation suits

A glance from heaven, with sweet effect

A shelter from the rain or wind

Ah! what can I do

Alas! Elisha's servant cried.

Alas! by nature how depraved.

A lion, though by nature wild

Almighty King! whose wondrous hand

Although on massy pillars built

Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound!)

Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat

As birds their infant brood protect

As needles point towards the pole

As once for Jonah, so the Lord.

As parched in the barren sands

As some tall rock amidst the waves

As the serpent raised by Moses.

As the sun's enlivening eye.

As when the weary traveller gains

A word from Jesus calms the sea.

A worlding spent each day

Holy Lord God! I love thy truth

How blest thy creature is, O Lord

How David, when by sin deceived

How hurtful was the choice of Lot

How kind the good Samaritan.

How soon the Saviour's gracious call

Beneath the tyrant Satan's yoke

Beside the gospel-pool

If Solomon for wisdom prayed.

Incarnate God! the soul that knows

Blinded in youth by Satan's arts

Breathe from the gentle south, O Lord

By various maxims, forms, and rules

By faith in Christ, I walk with God

By the poor widow's oil and meal

By whom was David taught.

In themselves, as weak as worms.

My God! how perfect are thy ways
My God! till I received thy stroke
My harp untuned, and laid aside.
My song shall bless the Lord of all
My soul once had its plenteous years

Saviour, visit thy plantation

See Aaron, God's anointed priest

See! another year is gone

167 Unbelief the soul dismays

See! how rude winter's icy hand

See! the corn again in ear

See the gloomy gathering 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 viewed by scripture-light

Sinner, art thou still secure.

Sinners, hear the Saviour's call

Sin enslaved me many years

Sin has undone our wretched race

Sometimes a light surprises.

Son of God! thy people shield

Sovereign grace has power alone

Stop, poor sinner! stop and think

When on the cross my Lord I see

When the sun with cheerful beams

When a black o'erspreading cloud

When slumber seals our weary eyes.

When darkness long has veiled my mind

When my prayers are a burden and task

When my Saviour, my Shepherd, is near

When the poor prisoner through a gate.

When the wounded spirit hears

When Hagar found the bottle spent

While with ceaseless course the sun

While Joshua led the armed bands

While I lived without the Lord

Why should I fear the darkest hour

Winter has a joy for me

With Satan, my accuser near
