Oh, the delights, the heavenly joys

Hymnal: BW1870 #165 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh, the delights, the heavenly joys, The glories of the place, Where Jesus sheds the brightest beams Of His o'erflowing grace! 2 Princes to His imperial name Bend their bright sceptres down; Dominions, thrones, and powers rejoice To see Him wear the crown. 3 Archangels sound His lofty praise Through ev'ry heavenly street; And lay their highest honors down, Submissive at His feet. 4 While angels shout and praise their King, Let mortals learn their strains: Let all the earth His honors sing; O'er all the earth He reigns. 5 Now to the Lamb, that once was slain, Be endless blessings paid; Salvation, glory, joy, remain Forever on Thy head! 6 Thou hast redeem'd our souls with blood, Hast set the pris'ners free, Hast made us kings and priests to God, And we shall reign with Thee.

Jesus, in Thy transporting name

Hymnal: BW1870 #166 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, in Thy transporting name What glories meet our eyes! Thou art the seraph's lofty theme, The wonder of the skies. 2 Well might the heavens with wonder view A love so strange as Thine; No thought of angels ever knew Compassion so divine. 3 And didst Thou, Saviour, leave the sky, To sink beneath our woes? Didst Thou descend to bleed and die For Thy rebellious foes? 4 Oh, may our willing hearts confess Thy sweet, Thy gentle sway; Glad captives of Thy matchless grace, Thy righteous rule obey.

Great God! to what a glorious height

Hymnal: BW1870 #167 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Great God! to what glorious height Hast Thou advanced the Lord, Thy Son! Angels, in all their robes of light, Are made the servants of His throne. 2 Before His feet their armies wait, And swift as flames of fire they move, To manage His affairs of state, In works of vengeance, or of love. 3 Now they are sent to guide our feet, Up to the gates of Thine abode, Through all the dangers that we meet, In trav'ling o'er the heavenly road. 4 Lord! when I leave this mortal ground, And Thou shalt bid us rise and come-- Send Thy belovéd angels down, Safe to conduct our spirits home.

Now begin the heavenly theme

Hymnal: BW1870 #168 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Now begin the heavenly theme, Sing aloud in Jesus’ name! Ye, who His salvation prove, Triumph in redeeming love. 2 Ye who see the Father’s grace, Beaming in the Saviour’s face, As to heaven ye onward move, Triumph in redeeming love. 3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears, Banish all your guilty fears; See your guilt and curse remove, Cancell'd by redeeming love. 4 Ye, alas! who long have been Willing slaves to death and sin, Now from bliss no longer rove; Stop, and taste redeeming love.

Awake, my soul, in joyful lays

Hymnal: BW1870 #169 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, to joyful lays, And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise; He justly claims a song from me, His loving-kindness, oh, how free! 2 He saw me ruin'd in the fall, Yet loved me, notwithstanding all; He saved me from my lost estate, His loving-kindness, oh, how great! 3 Though numerous hosts of mighty foes, Though earth and hell my way oppose, He safely leads my soul along, His loving-kindness, oh, how strong! 4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gather'd thick and thunder'd loud, He near my soul has always stood, His loving-kindness, oh, how good! 5 Often I feel my sinful heart Prone from my Jesus to depart; But though I have him oft forgot, His loving-kindness changes not. 6 Soon I shall pass the gloomy vale, Soon all my mortal powers must fail; O! may my last expiring breath His loving-kindness sing in death. 7 Then let me mount and soar away To the bright world of endless day; And sing with raptures and surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning!

Hymnal: BW1870 #170 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning! Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining; Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall: Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all! 3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and off'rings divine? Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation; Vainly with gifts would His favor secure: Richer by far is the heart's adoration; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning! Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

When, marshall'd on the nightly plain

Hymnal: BW1870 #171 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When, marshall'd on the nightly plain, The glitt'ring hosts bestud the sky, One star alone, of all the train, Can fix the sinner’s wand'ring eye. 2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks, From ev'ry host, from ev'ry gem; But one alone the Saviour speaks, It is the Star of Bethlehem. 3 Once on the raging seas I rode, The storm was loud--the night was dark, The ocean yawn'd--and rudely blow'd The wind that toss'd my found'ring bark. 4 Deep horror then my vitals froze, Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem; When suddenly a star arose-- It was the Star of Bethlehem. 5 It was my guide, my light, my all; It bade my dark forebodings cease; And through the storm and danger’s thrall, It led me to the port of peace. 6 Now safely moor'd--my perils o’er, I’ll sing, first in night’s diadem, Forever, and forevermore, The Star--the Star of Bethlehem!

Lamb of God, we fall before Thee

Hymnal: BW1870 #172 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before Thee, Humbly trusting in Thy cross; That alone be all our glory, All things else are only dross. Thee we own a perfect Saviour, Only source of all that’s good. Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favor Comes to us through Jesus’ blood. 2 Jesus gives us true repentance, By His Spirit sent from heaven; Whispers this transporting sentence, "Son, thy sins are all forgiven." Faith He grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts His love to prize: Want we wisdom? He must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 3 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what He requires; Makes us follow His directions, And what He commands--inspires. All our prayers, and all our praises, Rightly offer'd in His name: He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.

Jesus, Sun of Righteousness

Hymnal: BW1870 #173 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Sun of Righteousness, Brightest beam of love divine, With the early morning rays Do Thou on our darkness shine, And dispel, with purest light, All our long and gloomy night! 2 Like the sun's reviving ray, May Thy love, with tender glow, All our coldness melt away, Warm, and cheer us forth to go, Gladly serve Thee, and obey All our life's short earthly day! 3 Thou our only hope and guide! Never leave us nor forsake: In Thy light may we abide Till the endless morning break; Moving on to Zion's hill, Onward, upward, homeward still!

Jesus! and shall it ever be

Hymnal: BW1870 #174 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus! and shall it ever be A mortal man ashamed of Thee? Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days? 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let ev'ning blush to own a star; He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon: 'Tis midnight with my soul till He, Bring Morning Star! bid darkness flee. 4 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend! No; when I blush--be this my shame, That I no more revere His name. 5 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may When I've no guilt to wash away, No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. 6 Till then--nor is my boasting vain-- Till then I boast a Saviour slain! And, oh, may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me!
