The Christian's noblest resolution

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O wretched souls, who strive in vain Lyrics: 1 O wretched souls, who strive in vain, Slaves to the world, and slaves to sin! A nobler toil may I sustain, A nobler satisfaction win. 2 May I resolve with all my heart, With all my pow'rs to serve the Lord, Nor from his precepts e'er depart, Whose service is a rich reward. 3 O be his service all my joy, Around let my example shine, Till others love the bless'd employ, And join in labors so divine. 4 Be this the purpose of my soul, My solemn, my determin'd choice, To yield to his supreme control, And in his kind commands rejoice. 5 O may i never faint nor tire, Nor wand'ring leave his sacred ways; Great God, accept my soul's desire, And give me strength to live thy praise.

Strength from a view of the Cross

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXXX (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When I the blest Redeemer see Lyrics: 1 When I the blest Redeemer see All bleeding on th' accursed tree; Satan and sin no more can move, For I am all transform'd to love. 2 His thorns and nails, pierce thro' my heart, In ev'ry groan I bear a part; I view his wounds with streaming eyes, But see! he bows his head and dies! 3 Come, sinners, view the Lamb of God, Wounded and dead, and bath'd in blood! Behold his side, and venture near, The spring of endless life is here. 4 Here I forget my cares and pains; I drink, yet still my thirst remains; Only the fountain-head above, Can satisfy the thirst with love. 6 Oh, that I thus could always fee! Lord, more and more thy love reveal! Then my glad tongue shall loud proclaim The grace and glory of thy name. 6 Thy name dispels my guilt and fear, Revives my heart, and charms my ear; Affords a balm for ev'ry wound, Then I with love thy praise resound.

The day of the Lord

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCLXX (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Hark! from the sky, the trump proclaims Lyrics: 1 Hark! from the sky, the trump proclaims, Jesus the Judge approaching nigh! See, the creation wrapt in flames, First kindled by his vengeful eye! 2 when thus the mountains melt like wax; When earth, and air, and sea, shall burn: When all the frame of nature shakes; Poor sinner, whither wilt thou turn? 3 The puny works which feeble men Now boast, or covet, or admire; Their pomp, and arts, and treasures, then Shall perish in one common fire. 4 Lord, fix our hearts and hopes above! Since all below to ruin tends; Here may we trust, obey and love, And there be found amongst thy friends. Languages: English

The Song of Heaven desired by Saints on earth

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCLXXVI (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: The dawn of morning veils her face Lyrics: 1 The dawn of morning veils her face When the bright sun ascends the space; So glad will grace resign her room To glory in the heavn'ly home. 2 Happy the company that's gone From cross to crown, from thrall to throne; How loud they sing upon the shore, To which they sail'd in heart before! 3 Bless'd are the dead, ye, faith the word, That die in Christ the living Lord, And on the other side of death Thus joyful spend their praising breath: 4 "Death from all death has set us free, "And will our gain for ever be; "Death loos'd the massy chains of woe, "To let the mournful captive go. 5 "Death is to us a sweet repose, "The bud was op'd to shew the rose; "The cage was broke to let us fly, "And build our happy nest on high. 6 "Lo, here we do triumphant reign, "And joyful sing in lofty strain: "Lo here we rest, and love to be, "Enjoying more that faith could see. 7 "The thousandth part we now behold, "By mortal tongues was never told; "We got a taste, but now above "We forage in the fields of love. 8 "Faith once beheld a distant joy, "Now love drinks deep without alloy; "Beyond the fears of more mishap, "We gladly rest in glory's lap. 9 "Earth was to us a seat of war, "In thrones of triumph now we are; "We long'd to see our Jesus dear, "And sought him there, but find him here. 10 "We walk in white without annoy, "In glorious galleries of joy: "And crown'd through everlasting days, "We rival cherubs in their praise. 11 "No longer we complain of wants, "We see the glorious King of saints, "Amidst his joyful hosts around, "With all his heav'nly glory crown'd. 12 "We see him at his table head "With living water, living bread "His cheerful guests incessant load "With all the plenitude of God. 13 "we see the holy flaming fires, "Cherubic and seraphic quires; "And gladly join with those on high, "To warble praise eternally. 14 "Glory to God that here we came, "And glory to the glorious Lamb; "Our light, our life, our joy, our all, "We now embrace secure from fall. 15 "Our Lord is ours, and we are his; "Yea, now we see him as he is: "And hence we like unto him are, "And full his glorious image share. 16 "No darkness now, no dismal night, "No vapour interceps the light; "We see for ever face to face, "The highest Prince in highest place. 17 "This, this does heav'n enough afford, "We are for ever with the Lord: "We want no more, for all is giv'n; "His presence is the bliss of heav'n." 18 While thus i laid my list'ning ear Close to the door of heav'n to hear; And then the sacred page did view, Which told me all I heard was true; 19 Yet shew'd me that the heav'nly song Surpasses ev'ry mortal tongue, With such unutterable strains As none in fett'ring flesh attains: 20 Then said I, "O to mount away, "And leave this clog of heavy clay! "Let wings of time more hasty fly, "That I may join the songs on high." Topics: Song of desired heaven Languages: English

Man by nature Grace and Glory

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXXXIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Lord, what is man? Extremes how wide Lyrics: 1 Lord, what is man? Extremes how wide In this mysterious nature join! The flesh, to worms and dust ally'd The soul immortal and divine! 2 Divine at first, a holy flame Kindled by the Almighty's breath; Till stain'd by sin, it soon became The seat of darkness, strife, and death. 3 But Jesus, Oh! amazing grace! Affirm'd our nature as his own, Obey'd and suffer'd in our place, Then took it with him to his throne. 4 Near to which throne, and high in song, Man shall his hallelujahs raise; While wond'ring angels round him throng, And swell the chorus of his praise.
