LibraryThing Review
User Review - rbclibrary - LibraryThingI love Olney Hymns for Cowper's hymns especially. Because of his illness, he contributed only 67 of the 379 hymns, but his verses include some of the finest poetry found in hymns. Read full review

Page 121 - Yet I mourn my stubborn will, — Find my sin a grief and thrall : Should I grieve for what I feel, If I did not love at all ? 7 [Could I joy his saints to meet ; Choose the ways I once abhorr'd ; Find, at times, the promise sweet ; If I did not love the Lord ?] 8 Lord, decide the doubtful case!
Page 214 - Lord Jesus ! help me now to flee, And seek my hope alone in thee; Apply thy blood, thy Spirit give, Subdue my sin, and let me live. 5. Then when the solemn bell I hear, If saved from guilt, I need not fear; Nor would the thought distressing be, Perhaps it next may toll for me.
