The Loving Kindness of the Lord Jesus

Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CCLXXI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Awake, my soul, in joyous lays Lyrics: 1 Awake my soul, in joyful lays, And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise; He justly claims a song from me, His loving kindness, O how free! 2 He saw me ruin'd in the fall, Yet lov'd me notwithstanding all; He sav'd me from my lost estate, His loving kindness O how great! 3 Tho' num'rous hosts of mighty foes, Tho' earth, and ehll, my way oppose, He safely leads my soul along, His living kindness, O 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, O how good! 5 Often I feel my sinful heart, Prone from my Jesys to depart; But tho' I have him oft' forgot, His loving kindness changes not. 6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, Soon all my mortal pow'rs must fail; Oh! 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 rapture, and surprise, His loving kindness, in the skies.

Redemption, the Wonder of Angels

Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CCLIX (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: Behold, that splendour! Hear the shout! Lyrics: 1 Behold that splendour! hear the shout! Heav'n opens! Angels issue out, And throng the nether sky. What solemn tidings do they bring? Rapt at th' approach of Isr'el’s King, They speak the Monarch nigh. 2 Why does the King approach our land? Comes he with terror in his hand, The merit of our crimes? Shepherds be glad: he comes with peace, Not wrath but universal grace, To bless e'en distant climes. 3 See Heav'n’s great heir, a woman’s son! Behold a manger is his throne! Nay, see him born to die: Your is the guilt, but his the pain: His are the sorrows, yours the gain: Then let his praise be high. 4 Come, mighty King! the grace enhance, (A stable was thy palace once) Dwell in these hearts of ours: Teach us to praise the Father's love, Till blest, transported, fir'd above, We sing with nobler pow'rs.

The church first born are thine— Thine at thy coming. Then the head, The head of man divine. 5 (Lord of a harvest yet to come) The rest of earth shall reap; And gath'ring his unnumber'd home, One feast forever keep.

To him lift up your longing eyes, And hope for mercy in his name. 4 Pardon and peace thro' him abound; He can the richest blessings give; Salvation in his name is found, He bids the dying sinner live. 5 Jesus, my Lord, I look to thee; Where else can helpless sinners go? Thy boundless love shall set me free From all my wretchedness and woe. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testament Scripture: John 1:36 Languages: English
