The beneficence of Christ for our imitaion

Author: Dr. Gibbons Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CDXXXV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay, What were His works, from day to day, But miracles of pow'r and grace, That spread salvation thro' our race? 2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view Thy pattern, and thy steps pursue; Let alms bestowed, let kindness done, Be witness'd by each rolling sun. 3 That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives but nothing gives, Whom none can love, whom none can thank; Creation's blot, creation's blank. 4 But he, who marks from day to day In generous acts his radiant way, Treads the same path his Savior trod, The path to glory and to God.

Lord's day Evening

Author: Cennick Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCCLI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When, O dear Jesus, when shall I Lyrics: 1 When, O dear Jesus, when shall I Behold thee all serene? Blest in perpetual sabbath-day, Without a veil between? 2 Assist me, while I wander here, Amidst a world of cares; Incline my heart to pray with love, And then accept my prayers. 3 [Release my soul from every chain, No more Hell's captive led? And pardon a repenting child, For whom the Savior bled. 4 Spare me, my God, O spare the soul, That gives it self to thee; Take all that I possess below, And give thyself to me.] 5 Thy spirit, O my Father, give, To be my guide and friend, To light my path to ceaseless joys! To Sabbaths without end. Topics: Worship The Lord's Day; Public Religion Languages: English

At a minister's leaving his people—Paul's farewell charge

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CDXIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When Paul was parted from his friends Lyrics: 1 When Paul was parted from his friends, It was a weeping day; But Jesus made them all amends, And wip'd their tears away. 2 In heaven they met again with joy (secure no more to part) Where praises every tongue employ, And pleasure fills each heart. 3 Thus all the preachers of his grace Their children soon shall meet; Together see their Savior's face, And worship at his feet. 4 But they who heard the word in vain, Tho' oft and plainly warn'd; Will tremble when they meet again, The ministers they scorn'd. 5 On your own heads you blood will fall If any perish here; The preachers who have told you all Shall stand approv'd and clear. 6 Yet, Lord to save themselves alone, Is not their utmost view; O! hear their prayer, thy message own, And save their hearers too.

Come, Lord Jesus

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: SHBA1792 #DLXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When shall thy lovely face be seen? Lyrics: 1 When shall thy lovely face be seen? When shall our eyes behold our God? What lengths of distance lie between, And hills of guilt? a heavy load! 2 Our months are ages of delay, And slowly every moment wears: Fly, wingèd time, and roll away These tedious rounds of sluggish years. 3 Ye heavenly gates, loose all your chains, Let the eternal pillars bow; Blest Savior, cleave the starry plains, And make the crystal mountains flow. 4 Hark, how thy saints unite their cries, And pray and wait the general doom: Come, Thou, the Soul of all of our Joys, Thou, the Desire of Nations, come. 5 Put thy bright robes of triumph on, And bless our eyes, and bless our ears, Thou absent Love, thou dear Unknown, Thou Fairest of ten thousand Fairs.

Life of the soul

Author: Steele Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CLXXXI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When sins and fears prevailing rise Lyrics: 1 When sins and fears prevailing rise, And fainting hope almost expires; Jesus, to thee I lift mine eyes, To thee I breathe my soul's desires. 2 Art thou not mine, my living Lord? And can my hope, my comfort die, Fix'd on thy everlasting word, That word which built the earth and sky? 3 If my immortal savior lives, Then my immortal life is sure; His word a firm foundation gives, Here, let me build, and rest secure. 4 Here, let my faith unshaken dwell, Immoveable the promise stands; Nor all the powers of earth, or hell, Can e'er dissolve the sacred bands. 5 Here, O my soul, thy trust repose; If Jesus is for ever mine, Not death itself, that last of foes, Shall break a union so divine.

The lost Sheep found; or, Joy in Heaven on the Conversion of a Sinner

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #LXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When some kind shepherd from his fold Lyrics: 1 When some kind shepherd from his fold, Has lost a straying sheep, Through vales, o'er hills, he anxious roves, And climbs the mountain's steep. 2 But O the joy! the transport sweet! When he the wand'rer finds; Up in his arms he takes his charge, And to his shoulder binds. 3 Homeward he hastes to tell his joys, And make his bliss complete: The neighbours hear the news, and all The joyful shepherd greet. 4 Yet how much greater is the joy When but one sinner turns; When the poor wretch with broken heart, His sins and errors mourns. 5 Pleas'd with the news, the saints below, In songs their tongues employ; Beyond the skies, the tidings go, And Heaven is fill'd with joy. 6 Well-pleas'd the Father sees and hears The conscious sinner weep; Jesus receives him in his arms, And owns him for his sheep. 7 Nor angels can their joys contain, But kindle with new fire: "A wandering sheep's return'd," they sing, And strike the sounding lyre.

The Grace of God; or, Divine Condescension

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: SHBA1792 #XIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When the eternal bows the skies Lyrics: 1 When the eternal bows the skies, To visit earthly things, With scorn divine he turns his eyes From towers of haughty kings: 2 He bids his awful chariot roll Far downward from the skies, To visit every humble soul, With pleasure in his eyes. 3 Why should the Lord that reigns above Disdain so lofty kings? Say, Lord, and why such looks of love Upon such worthless things? 4 Mortals, be dumb; what creature dares Dispute his awful will? Ask no account of his affairs, But tremble, and be still. 5 Just like his nature is his grace, All sovereign, and all free; Great God, how searchless are thy ways; How deep thy judgments be!

Advocate

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CLVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Where is my God? does he retire Lyrics: 1 Where is my God? does he retire Beyond the reach of humble sighs? Are these weak breathings of desire Too languid to ascend the skies? 2 No, Lord, the breathings of desire, The weak petition, if sincere, Is not forbidden to aspire But reaches thy all-gracious ear. 3 Look up, my soul, with cheerful eye, See where the great redeemer stands, The glorious advocate on high, With precious incense in his hands. 4 He sweetens every humble groan, He recommends each broken prayer; Recline thy hope on him alone, Whose power and love forbid despair. 5 Teach my weak heart, O gracious Lord, With stronger faith to call thee mine; Bid me pronounce the blissful word, My Father, God, with joy divine.

Sanctification and Pardon

Author: Watts Hymnal: SHBA1792 #C (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Where shall we sinners hide our heads Lyrics: 1 Where shall we sinners hide our heads, Can rocks or mountains save? Or shall we wrap us in the shades Of midnight and the grave? 2 Is there no shelter from the eye Of a revenging God? Jesus, to thy dear wounds we fly, Bedew us with thy blood, 3 Those guardian drops our souls secure, And wash away our sins; Eternal justice frowns no more, And conscience smiles within. 4 We bless that wondrous purple stream That cleanses every stain; Yet are our souls but half redeem'd, If sin, the tyrant, reign. 5 Lord, blast his empire with thy breath, That cursed throne must fall; Ye flattering plagues, that work our death, Fly, for we hate you all.
