Come, thou desire of all thy saints

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #14 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 140:13 Lyrics: 1 Come, thou desire of all thy saints, Our humble strains attend, While, with our praises and complaints, Low at thy feet we bend. 2 When we thy wondrous glories hear, And all thy suff'rings trace, What sweetly awful scenes appear! What rich unbounded grace! 3 How should our songs, like those above, With warm devotion rise! How should our souls, on wings of love, Mount upward to the skies! 4 Come, Lord, thy love alone can raise In us the heavenly flame; Then shall our lips resound thy praise, Our hearts adore thy name. 5 Dear Saviour, let thy glory shine, And fill thy dwellings here, Till life, and love, and joy divine A heaven on earth appear.

Keep silence all created things

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #43 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Daniel 4:34-35 Lyrics: 1 Keep silence all created things, And wait your Maker's rod: My soul stands trembling, while she sings The honors of her God. 2 Life, death, and hell, and worlds unknown, Hang on his firm decree: He sits on no precarious throne, Nor borrows leave TO BE. 3 Chain'd to his throne a volume lies, With all the fates of men, With every angel's form and size, Drawn by th' eternal pen. 4 His providence unfolds the book, And makes his counsels shine; Each opening leaf, and every stroke, Fulfils some deep design. 5 Here, he exalts neglected worms To sceptres, and a crown; Anon, the following page he turns, And treads the monarch down. 6 Not Gabriel asks the reason why, Nor God the reason gives; Nor dares the fav'rite angel pry Between the folded leaves. 7 My God, I ne'er would long to see My fate with curious eyes, What gloomy lines are writ for me, Or what bright scenes shall rise. 8 In the fair book of life and grace May I but find my name, Recorded in some humble place Beneath my Lord the Lamb.

Our Father, whose eternal sway

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #27 (1812) Meter: Irregular Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13 Lyrics: 1 Our Father, whose eternal sway The bright angelic hosts obey, O! lend a pitying ear; When on thy awful name we call, And at thy feet submissive fall, O! condescend to hear. 2 Far may thy glorious reign extend, May rebels to thy sceptre bend, And yield to sovereign love: May we take pleasure to fulfil The sacred dictates of thy will, As angels do above. 3 From thy kind hand each temporal good, Our raiment and our daily food, In rich abundance come: Lord, give us still a fresh supply, If thou withhold thy hand we die, And fill the silent tomb. 4 Pardon our sins, O GOD! that rise, And call for vengeance from the skies; And while we are forgiven, Grant that revenge may never rest, And malice harbor in that breast That feels the love of heaven. 5 Protect us in the dangerous hour, And from the wily tempter's power O! set our spirits free: And if temptation should assail, May might grace o'er all prevail, And lead our hearts to thee. 6 Thine is the power, to thee belongs The constant tribute of our songs, All glory to thy name: Let every creature join our lays, In one resounding act of praise, Thy wonders to proclaim.
