Seeking to God for the communication of his spirit

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Hear, gracious sovereign, from thy throne Lyrics: 1 Hear, gracious sovereign, from thy throne, And send thy various blessings down: While by thine Israel thou art sought, Attend the prayer thy word hath taught. 2 Come, sacred spirit, from above, And fill the coldest heart with love; Soften to flesh the rugged stone, And let thy godlike power be known. 3 Speak thou, and from the haughtiest eyes Shall floods of pious sorrow rise: While all their glowing souls are borne To seek that grace, which now they scorn. 4 O let a holy flock await, Num'rous around thy temple-gate, Each pressing on with zeal to be A living sacrifice to thee. 5 In answer to our fervent cries, Give us to see thy church arise; Or, if that blessing seem too great, Give us to mourn its low estate.

Well thou may'st claim that heart of me, Which owes so much to thine. 7 Yes, thou shalt surely have my heart My soul, my strength, my all: With life itself I'll freely part, My Jesus at thy call.

A song of praise to the redeemer

Author: Dr. Turner Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCCXLVII (1792) First Line: Holy wonder, heavenly grace Lyrics: 1 Holy wonder, heavenly grace, Come, inspire our humble lays, While the Savior's love we sing, Whence our hopes and comforts spring. 2 Man, involv'd in guilt and woe, Touch'd his tender bosom so, That, when justice death demands, Forth the great deliv'rer stands; 3 Cries to God, "thy mercy shew, "Lo! I come thy will to do; "I the sacrifice will be, "Death shall plunge his dart in me." 4 Tho' the form of God he bore, Great in glory, great in power, See him in our flesh array'd, Lower than his angels made. 5 [He that heaven itself possess'd, Now and infant at the breast! Angels from the world above, See and sing th' amazing love! 6 Thro' the shining hours of day, Toil and danger mark his way; Lonely mounts, and chilling air, Witness oft his midnight prayer.] 7 Now the heavenly lover dies! Darkness veils the mid-day skies! Angels round the bloody tree, Throng and gaze in ecstacy! 8 [Power unseen earth's bosom heaves, Rocks and tombs, asunder cleave; While the temple's rending veil Tells the pries the awful tale.] 9 But, the third day's dawning come, Lo! the Savior leaves the tomb! Reascends his native sky, Where he lives no more to die. 10 On his cross he builds his throne, Whence he makes his glories known, Sends his spirit down to give Dying sinners grace to live.

Eternal Wisdom is their guide, Their help Omnipotence. 2 In foreign realms, and lands remote, Supported by thy care, Thro' burning climes they pass unhurt, And breathe in tainted air. 3 When, by the dreadful tempest borne, High on the broken wave, They know thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. 4 The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to thy will: The sea, that roars at thy command, At thy command is still. 5 In 'midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, Thy goodness we'll adore, We'll praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more. 6 Our life, while thou preserv'st that life, Thy sacrifice shall be; And death, when death shall be our lot, Shall join our souls to thee.

Peter's Fall and Recovery

Author: Fawcett Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCCXIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How did the powers of darkness rage Lyrics: 1 How did the powers of darkness rage Against the son of God! While cruel men on earth engage To shed his precious blood. 2 His friends forsook him with surprise, When that dread scene began; And one perfidiously denies He ever knew the man. 3 How feeble human efforts prove Against temptation's power! E'en Peter's flaming zeal and love Are vanquish'd in an hour. 4 His firmest purpose will not stand Behold his guilt and shame! Lord, keep me by thy mighty hand, Or I shall do the same. 5 At length the suffering Savior turns, And looks with pitying eyes; Peter relents, withdraws and mourns, And loud for mercy cries. 6 So boundless is Jehovah's grace, He hears the humble prayer; If I am found in Peter's case, I would not still dispair. 7 Look on me, Lord, with eyes of love, My wandering soul restore; My guilt forgive, my fears remove, And let me sin no more.
