Intercession pravalent

Author: Toplady Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CLIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Awake, sweet gratitude, and sing Lyrics: 1 Awake, sweet gratitude, and sing, Th' ascended savior's love: Sing how he lives to carry on His people's cause above. 2 With cries and tears he offer'd up His humble suit below; But with authority he asks, Enthron'd in glory now. 3 For all that come to God by him, Salvation he demands; Points to their names upon his breast, And spreads his wounded hands. 4 His sweet atoning sacrifice, Gives sanction to his claim: "Father, I will that all my saints "Be with me where I am: 5 "By their salvation, recompense "Th sorrows I endur'd; "Just to the merits of thy son, "And faithful to thy word." 6 Eternal life, at his request, To every saint is given: Safety on Earth, and, after death, The plenitude of heaven. 7 [Founded on right, thy prayer avails, The father smiles on thee; And now thou in thy kingdom art, Dear Lord, remember me. 8 Let the much incense of thy prayer In my behalf ascend; And as its virtue, so my praise, Shall never never end.] Topics: The Intercession of Christ; Intercession of Christ Prevalent Scripture: John 17:24 Languages: English

Trust and confidence; or, looking beyond present appearances

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCLXXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Away my unbelieving fear Lyrics: 1 Away, my unbelieving fear! Let fear to me no more take place! My savior doth not yet appear, He hides the brightness of his face: But shall I therefore let him go, And basely to the tempter yield? No, in the strength of Jesus no! I never will give up the shield. 2 Altho' the vine its fruits deny, Altho' the olive yield no oil, The withering fig-tree droop and die, The field illude the tiller's toil; The empty stall no herd afford, And perish all the bleating race; Yet I will triumph in the Lord, The God of my salvation praise. 3 Away, each unbelieving fera, Let Fear to cheering hope give place; My Savior will at length appear, And shew the brightness of his face: Tho now my prospects all be crost, My blooming hopes cut off I see, Still will I in my Jesus trust, Whose boundless love can reach to me. 4 In hope, believing against hope, His promis'd mercy will I claim, His gracious word shall bear me up, To seek salvation in his name: Sure, my dear Savior, bring it nigh! My soul shall then outstrip the wind, On wings of love mount up on high, And leave the world and sin behind.

I will trust and not be afraid

Author: Newton Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCXC (1792) First Line: Begone, unbelief Lyrics: 1 Begone unbelief, My savior is near, And for my relief Will surely appear: By pray'r let me wrestle, And he will perform, With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. 2 Though dark be my way, Since he is my guide, 'Tis mine to obey, 'Tis his to provide; Though cisterns be broken, And creatures all fail, The word he has spoken Shall surely prevail. 3 His love in time past, Forbids me to think He'll leave me at last In trouble to sink; Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review, confirms his good pleasure To help me quite through. 4 Determin'd to save, He watch'd o'er my path When Satan's blind slave, I sported with death; And can he have taught me To trust in his name, And thus far have brought me To put me to shame? 5 Why should I complain Of want or distress Temptation or pain? He told me no less; The heirs of salvation, I knew from his word, Through much tribulation, Must follow their Lord. 6 How bitter that cup, No heart can conceive, Which he drunk quite up, That sinners might live! His way was much rougher, And darker than mine; Did Jesus thus suffer, And shall I repine? 7 Since all that I meet Shall work for my good, The bitter is sweet, The med'cine is food; Though painful at present, 'Twill cease before long, And then, O how pleasant, The conqueror's song!

Gravity and decency

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Behold the sons, the heirs of God Lyrics: 1 Behold the sons, the heirs of God, So dearly bought with Jesus' blood! Are they not born to heavenly joys, And shall they stoop to earthly toys? 2 Can laughter feed th' immortal mind? Were spirits of celestial kind Made for a jest, for sport and play, To wear out time and waste the day? 3 Doth vain discourse, or empty mirth, Well suit the honors of their birth? Shall they be fond of gay attire, Which children love, and fools admire? 4 What if we wear the richest vest, Peacocks and flies are better drest; This flesh with all its gaudy forms, Must drop to dust, and feed the worms. 5 Lord, raise our hearts and passions higher; Touch our vain souls with sacred fire; Then, with a heaven-directed eye, We'll pass these glittering trifles by. 6 We'll look on all the toys below With such disdain as angels do; And wait the call that bids us rise To mansions promis'd in the skies.
