Father of mercies in thy word

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #30 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies in thy word What endless glory shines! For ever be thy name ador'd For these celestial lines. 2 Here, may the wretched sons of want Exhaustless riches find; Riches, above what earth can grant, And lasting as the mind. 3 Here, the Redeemer's welcome voice Spreads heavenly peace around; And life, and everlasting joys Attend the blissful sound. 5 O may these heavenly pages be My ever dear delight; And still new beauties may I see, And still increasing light! 6 Divine instructor, gracious Lord, Be thou for ever near; Teach me to love thy sacred word, And view my Savior there.

A glory gilds the sacred page

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #31 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic like the sun: It gives a light to every age; It gives, but borrows none. 2 The hand that gave it still supplies The gracious light and heat; His truths upon the nations rise, They rise, but never set. 3 Let everlasting thanks be thine, For such a bright display, As makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day. 4 My soul rejoices to pursue The steps of him I love, Till glory break upon my view In brighter worlds above. Scripture: Psalm 19:4-6 Languages: English

The Bible is justly esteemed

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #33 (1812) Lyrics: 1 The Bible is justly esteem'd The glory supreme of the land, Which shows how a sinner's redeem'd, And brought to JEHOVAH'S right hand. With pleasure we freely confess The Bible all books does outshine, But JESUS his person and grace, Affords it that lustre divine. 2 In every prophetical book Where GOD his decrees hath unseal'd, With joy we behold as we look, The wonderful Savior reveal'd: His glories project to the eye, And prove it was not his design, Those glories concealed should lie, But there in full majesty shine. 3 The first gracious promise to man, A blessed prediction appears, His work is the soul of the plan, And gives it the glory it wears. How cheering the truth must have been That JESUS the promised seed, Should triumph o'er Satan and sin, And hell in captivity lead! 4 The ancient levitical law Was prophecy after its kind, In types there the faithful foresaw The Savior that ransom'd mankind. The altar, the lamb, and the priest, The blood that was sprinkl'd of old, Had life, when the people could taste The blessing those shadows foretold. 5 Review the prophetical song, Which shines in prediction's rich train, The sweetness to JESUS belongs, And point out his sufferings and reign: Sure David his harp never strung With more of true sacred delight, than when of the Savior he sung, And he was reve'led to his sight. May JESUS more precious become-- His word be a lamp to our feet, While we in the wilderness roam, 'Till brought in his presence to meet! Then, then will we gaze on thy face, Our prophet, our priest, and our king; Recount all thy wonders of grace, Thy praises eternally sing. Scripture: Revelation 19:10 Languages: English

Mighty God, while angels bless thee

Fly, my tongue, such guilty silence! Sing the Lord who came to die. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. 5 Did archangels sing thy coming? Did the shepherds learn their lays? Shame would cover me ungrateful, Should my tongue refuse to praise. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. Scripture: Psalm 148:2 Languages: English

Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #35 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims His various, and his saving NAMES; O may they not be heard alone, But by our sure experience known! 2 Let great JEHOVAH be ador'd, Th' eternal, all-sufficient LORD; He thro' the world most high confess'd, By whom 'twas form'd and is possess'd. 3 Awake, our noblest powers, to bless The GOD of Abr'ham, GOD of PEACE; Now by a dearer title known, Father and GOD of Christ his Son. 4 Thro' ev'ry age his gracious ear Is open to his servants' prayer; Nor can one humble soul complain, That it hath sought its GOD in vain. 5 What unbelieving heart shall dare, In whispers to suggest a fear? While still he owns his ancient name, The same his power, his love the same. 6 To thee our souls in faith arise, To thee we lift expectin eyes; And boldly thro' the desert tread, For GOD will guard, where GOD shall lead. Scripture: Exodus 34:5-7 Languages: English

Eternal God! Almighty cause

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #36 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Eternal GOD!

Eternal God, the thanks receive

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #39 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, the thanks receive, Which thine unworthy servants give; Father of every mercy thou, Almighty, and all-gracious too! 2 In humble, yet exulting songs, Thy praises issue from our tongues, For that incessant boundless love, Which we and all thy creatures prove. 3 Fashion'd by thy creating hand, And by thy providence sustain'd, We wish our gratitude to shew, For all thy temporal blessings due. 4 But O! for this we chiefly raise the incense of admiring praise-- Thy love unspeakable we own, Which sent the willing Savior down. 5 And O! so deep a sense impress Of thy supreme unbounded grace, That anthems in full choir may rise, And shake the earth and rend the skies! 6 Make us in deed, as well as word, Shew forth the praises of the Lord, And thank him still for what he gives, Both with our lips and in our lives! 7 O that, by sin no more subdu'd, We might devote ourselves to God, And only breathe to tell his praise, And in his service spend our days! 8 Hail, FATHER, Hail eternal SON, Hail sacred SPIRIT, three in one! Blessing and thanks and power divine, Thrice holy Lord, be ever thine. Languages: English
