The Loving-Kindness of the Redeemer

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #VIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Awake, my soul, to joyful lays Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, to 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' numerous hosts of mighty foes, Tho' earth and hell my way oppose, He safely leads my soul along, His loving-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 Jesus 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 powers must fail; O! may my last expiring breath His loving-kindness sing in death. 7 Then let me mount and soar away, To the bright worlds of endless day, And sing with rapture and surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies.

Christ's birth, life, death, resurrection, ascension, and intercession

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCLXXXV (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Awake, my soul, tune ev'ry string Lyrics: Part I Christ's birth and life: 1 Awake, my soul, tune ev'ry string, In God thy Saviour's praise, Join with the heav'nly hosts and sing The highest notes they raise. 2 Tell how the glorious Son of God, Forsook the realms of bliss, Descended to our guilty world, Proclaiming life and peace. 3 Angelic hosts declare his birth, "Glory to God on high, "Good will to men and peace on earth! "Behold the Saviour nigh! 4 "To Bethl'em's city quick repair," Th' etherial spirits cry, "And see the promis'd Saviour there, "Low in a manger lie. 5 "With humble faith and holy fear "Go visit Christ your king." Their heav'nly notes the shepherds hear, And join the praise they sing. 6 On Jordan's banks th' eternal God His birth divine declares; "This is my son!" Lo! on his head The heav'nly dove appears. 7 Holy his life, his doctrines true; (How bright the godhead shone!) Diseases heard and Satan knew, That what he spake was done. Part II Christ's death, resurrection ascension and intercession: 8 Behold the Saviour on the tree, With arms extended wide! From death a sinful world to free, He groan'd, and bled, and dy'd! 9 The sun astonish'd veil'd its face, When the Creator bled; His groans the earth and rocks displace, And wake the sleeping dead. 10 But when th' appointed hour was come, The sleeping Saviour wakes; Behold! he rises from the tomb, And death a captive makes. 11 On the eternal God's right hand The great Redeemer sits; Both heav'n and earth to his command The Father now commits. 12 Our advocate himself he stiles, The sinner's cause he pleads, Through him the Father looks and smiles, While thus he intercedes. 13 Whom once he loves he'll ne'er forget, His counsels guide them still; His grace their weary souls will seat On heav'ns eternal hill. 14 Reviving though! then humble soul, With courage venture on! Though earth and hell against thee roll, In Christ the battle's won. Topics: Christ His death; Christ His incarnation; Christ His intecession; Christ His resurrection Languages: English

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXXII (1799) First Line: Awake, our drowsy souls Lyrics: 1 Awake, our drowsy souls, Shake off each slothful band, The wonders of this day Our noblest songs demand. Auspicious morn! thy blissful rays, Bright Seraphs hail in songs of praise. 2 At thy approaching dawn, Reluctant death resign'd The glorious Prince of Life, In dark domains confin'd: Th'angelic host around him bends, And 'midst their shouts, the God ascends. 3 All hail, triumphant Lord, Heav'n with hosannas rings; While earth, in humbler strains, Thy praise responsive sings: Worthy art thou, who once wast slain, Thro' endless years to live and reign. 4 Gird on, great God, thy sword, Ascend thy conquering car, While justice, truth, and love Maintain the glorious war: Victorious thou thy foes shalt tread, And sin and hell in triumph lead. 5 Make bare thy potent arm, And wing th' unerring dart, With salutary pangs, To each rebellious heart: Then dying souls for life shall sue, Num'rous as drops of morning dew.

The Eternal God his People's Refuge and Support

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XV (1799) First Line: Behold the great eternal God Lyrics: 1 Behold the great eternal God, Spreads everlasting arms abroad, And calls our souls to shelter there. Wonders of mingled pow'r and grace, To all his Israel he displays, Guarded from danger, and from fear. 2 Thither my feeble soul shall fly, When terrors press, and death is nigh, And there will I delight to dwell: On that high tow'r I rear my head, Serene, nor knows my heart to dread, Amidst surrounding hosts of hell. 3 The shadow of th' Almighty's wings Composure unmolested brings, While threat'ning horrors round me croad; In vain the storms of rattling hail The walls of this retreat assail, And the wild tempest roars aloud. 4 In louder strains my fearless tongue Shall warble its victorious song, My Father's graces to proclaim; He bears his infant offspring on To glory radiant as his throne, And joys eternal as his name.

Gravity and decency

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CXXXVI (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Behold the sons, the heirs of God Lyrics: 1 Behold the sons, the heirs of God, So dearly bought with Jesu's blood! Are they not born to heav'nly joys, And shall they stoop to earthly toys? 2 Can laughter feed th' immortal mind? Were spirits of celestial kind Made for a jest, for sport and play, To wear out time and waste the day? 3 Doth vain discourse, or empty mirth, Well suit the honors of their birth? Shall they be fond of gay attire, Which children love, and fools admire? 4 Lord, with a heav'n-directed eye, We'll pass these glittering trifles by. Oh, raise our hearts and passions higher; Touch our vain souls with sacred fire; 6 Then we will look on toys below With such disdain as angels do; And wait the call that bids us rise To mansions promis'd in the skies.

A parting Hymn

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CL (1799) 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.

A prayer for the opposers of experimental religion

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCLIV (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Blest Lord, behold the guilty scorn Lyrics: 1 Blest Lord, behold the guilty scorn Of those who hate and mock our praise, Pity their state and make them turn, No more to walk in sinful ways. 2 Anxious we see their wretched state, Who never think of heav'n or hell; They laugh and sport and court the gate Which opes where endless terrors dwell. 3 If pray'r and faith did e'er prevail, Now help us, Lord, to raise our hands; Prepare our hearts thy grace to hail, Then break their soul-destroying band. 4 Lead them to view a sinful heart, A soul all enmity to thee, Destroy'd, defil'd in every part, Too proud to bow, to blind to wee. 5 Lead them to view a holy law, Which justly dooms to endless death, To feel that guilt which Jesus saw, And pray'd forgive, with dying breath. 6 Open their eyes, unstop their ears, To hear condemning justice sound; Lord change their hearts, and then their tears Will witness grief to all around. 7 Once we were blind, like them we strove, Till sov'reign mercy chang'd our ways; Lord bow their wills, and make them love, Then they will join our songs of praise.
