Praise to the Redeemer

Hymnal: HSoH1802 #CCXXXIV (1802) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Prepare a thankful song Lyrics: 1 Prepare a thankful song, To the Redeemer's name! Let his high praise employ each tongue And ev'ry heart enflame! 2 He laid his glory by, And bitter pains endur'd: That sinners of the blackest die From wrath might be secur'd. 3 Stretch'd on the cross he dy'd, Our debt of sin to pay, The blood and water from his side Wash guilt and filth away. 4 Pleading for us he stands Before the father's throne; And answers all the Law's demands, With what himself hath done. 5 The Holy Ghost he sends, Our stubborn souls to move; To make his enemies his friends, And conquer them by love. 6 Assur'd that Christ our King, Will put our foes to flight; We, on the filed of battle sing, And triumph, while we fight.

Are there few that shall be saved?

Hymnal: HSoH1802 #CCXXXIX (1802) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Destruction's dangerous road Lyrics: 1 Destruction's dangerous road What multitudes pursue! While that which leads the soul to God, Is know or sought by few. 2 Believes find the way Thro' Christ the living gate; But those who hate this holy way Complain it is too strait. 3 If self must be deny'd, And sin no more caress'd, They rather choose the way that's wide, And strive to think it best. 4 Encompass'd by a throng, On numbers they depend; They say so many can't be wrong, And miss a happy end. 5 But hear the Saviour's word, "Strive for the heavn'ly gate, many will call upon the Lord, And find their crys too late." 6 Obey the gospel call And enter while you may; The flock of Christ is always small, And none are safe but they. 7 Lord, open sinners' eyes, Their awful state to see; And make them, ere the storm arise, To thee for safety flee.

A parting Hymn

Hymnal: HSoH1802 #CL (1802) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Blest be the tie that binds Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds, Is like to that above. 2 Before our father's throne We pour our ardent pray'rs; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes; Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4 When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be join'd in heart, And hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

Importunate Prayer

Hymnal: HSoH1802 #CXCVI (1802) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Jesus, who knows full well Lyrics: 1 Jesus, who knows full well The heart of ev'ry saint, Invites us all our griefs to tell, To pray and never faint. 2 He bows his gracious ear, We never plead in vain; Then let us wait till he appears, And pray, and pray again. 3 Though unbelief suggest, Why should we longer wait? He bids us never give him rest, But knock at mercy's gate. 4 Jesus the Lord will hear His chosen when they cry; Yes, though he may a while forbear, He'll help them from on high. 5 His nature, truth and love, Engage him on their side; When they are griev'd, his bowels move, They will not be deny'd. 6 Then let us earnest cry, And never faint in pray'r, He sees, he hears, and from on high, Will make our cause his own.

The vanity of Balaam's wish

Hymnal: HSoH1802 #XCVI (1802) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: How blest the righteous are Lyrics: 1 How blest the righteous are, When they resign their breath! No wonder Balaam wish'd to share In such a happy death. 2 "Oh! let me die said he, The death the righteous do; When life is ended, let me be Found with the faithful few." 3 The force of truth, how great! When enemies confess, None but the righteous, whom they hate, A solid hope possess, 4 But Balaam's wish was vain, His heart was insincere: He thirsted for unrighteous gain, And sought a portion here. 5 He seem'd the Lord to know, And to offend him loth; But Mammon prov'd his overthrow, For none can serve them both. 6 May we, O Lord, most high, Warning from hence receive, If like the righteous we would die, To choose the life they live.

The Sufferings of Divine Love

Hymnal: HSoH1802 #XLVII (1802) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: My dear Redeemer see Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer see, Forsaken and forlorn; Drinking the vinegar and gall, And crown'd with ragged thorn. 2 They pierc'd him to the heart, Oh let me view the wound! And count the precious, flowing drops, That stain the thirsty ground. 3 Ah! who could mar thee thus, That never didst offend? How could a sinful world combine Against the sinner's friend? 4 They needed not the spear To shed my Savior's blood; Love would have bust his tender heart, Whilst mercy pour'd the flood. 5 O copious, healing stream! Though urg'd by hostile hand; From evil springs the might good That cleanses Judah's land. Topics: Sufferings of Christ; Sufferings of Christ Languages: English

The evil Heart

Distrust, presumption, artful guile, Pride, envy, slavish fear. 3 Almighty King of saints These tyrant lusts subdue; Expel the darkness of my mind, And all my powers renew. 4 This done, my cheerful voice Shall loud hosannas raise; My soul shall glow with gratitude, My lips proclaim thy praise.
