Hymnal: DWIP1786 #7 (1786) First Line: Blest is the man who shuns the place Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man who shuns the place, Where sinners love to meet; Who fears to tread their wicked ways, And hates the scoffer’s seat. 2 But in the statutes of the Lord, Has plac'd his chief delight; By day he reads or hears the word, And meditates by night. 3 [He like a plant of generous kind, By living waters set, Safe from the storms and blasting wind, Enjoys a peaceful state.] 4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair Shall his profession shine; While fruits of holiness appear Like clusters on the vine. 5 Not so the impious and unjust; What vain designs they form! Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm. 6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand Among the sons of grace, When Christ the Judge at his right-hand Appoints his saints a place. 7 His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well; But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell.

The different Success of the Gospel

Hymnal: DWIP1786 #XXII (1786) First Line: Christ and his cross are all our theme Lyrics: 1 Christ and his cross are all our theme; The myst'ries that we speak, Are scandal in the Jews esteem, And folly to the Greek: 2 But souls, enlightened from above, With joy receive the word; They see what wisdom, power, and love, Shine in their dying Lord. 3 The vital savor of his name Restores their fainting breath; But unbelief perverts the same To guilt, despair, and death. 4 'Till God diffuse his graces down, Like showers of heavenly rain, In vain Apollos sows the ground, And Paul may plant in vain.

Breathing after the holy Spirit

Hymnal: DWIP1786 #XXXVII (1786) First Line: Come, holy Spirit, heavenly Dove Lyrics: 1 Come, holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all thy quickening powers; Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 Behold us groveling here below, Engag'd in trifling toys! Our souls can neither fly, nor go, To reach eternal joys. 3 In vain we tune our formal songs, In vain we strive to rise; Hosannah's languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies. 4 Dear Lord! and shall we still remain In this declining state? Our love so faint, so cold to thee, And thine to us so great? 5 Come, holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all thy quickening powers; Come, shed abroad a Saviour’s love And that shall kindle ours.
