Thank God, my journey now is o'er

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCCXXXII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thank God, my journey now is o'er, My travels now is past, And safely I arriv'd once more, To see my home at last. 2 What praises to my God is due, What tribute can I pay To God, who safely brought me through? Whilst I have been away. 3 Supported by God's heav'nly grace, And kept from danger free: I was conducted to the place, Where I had need to be. 4 I thank my Lord, for the success, His hand on me bestow'd; My office I discharg'd in peace, For which I praise my God. 5 Thus through his mercy I as spar'd, My Journey safe to end: All praises be to thee my Lord, Who art my constant friend.

Thanks be to God, who heard our pray'r

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CLX (1816) Lyrics: 1 Thanks be to God, who heard our pray'r, When we had fears and doubt; When fierce diseases ev'ry where, Compass'd our land about. 2 When death, that cruel tyrant made, Poor mortals feel his pow'r; And in another world have fled, Not to return no more. 3 How melancholy was the sound, To hear they dying groan: Can no relief or help be found, Till we are fled and gone. 4 And must our troubled spirits fly, To God, who first them gave; Our bodies only made to die! And moulder in the grave. 5 Great God, how mournful was the scene; Where e'er his was the case; But great thy mercies e'er have been, To those who trust thy grace. 6 Thanks be to God, that we are spar'd, To see the present day. O, make us ready, gracious Lord, Till we be call'd away. Topics: Thanksgiving after Diseases Scripture: Philippians 2:25-30 Languages: English

That blessed Gospel we are taught

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXLIV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 That blessed Gospel we are taught, Can prove the Saviour's pow'r; The miracles that Jesus wrought, Were never wrought before. 2 A ruler's daughter as we read, A lifeless corpse had lay'n; But Jesus who can raise the dead, Rais'd her to life again. 3 Princes and rulers of this earth, Who raise their honours high; Like others of the meanest birth, They all are born to die. 4 These things are scarcely ever thought, Or ever cause a tear; Until the greatest part are brought, To lie upon the bier. 5 When troubles, sorrows and distress Beset the greatest men; Then they will seek the Saviour's face To be reliev'd again. 6 Distress will make us seek the Lord, If ne'er we did before; And search the counsels of his word, His love, his grace and pow'r. 7 But O, his love to man is great, His gifts are ne'er withheld; He helps each one in ev'ry state, Who to his precepts yield.

That great example Jesus set

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #LXXX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 That great example Jesus set, As the Apostle saith; Must ev'ry Christian imitate, To prove his living faith. 2 The Christian man is call'd there to, In Jesus steps to tread; To suffer with his Lord below, As members with the head. 3 Like Jesus, humble, meek and mild, Let all his follow'rs be; To all their fates be reconcil'd, And bear with injury. 4 He was expos'd to scorn and pain, Revil'd and mock'd and beat; Yet he reviled not again, Nor yet aveng'd the treat. 5 His life with willingness did yield, And died, our lives to save; And by his wounds, our wounds are heal'd, And ransom'd from the grave. 6 Like Sheep that wander from the fold, We left the ways of God; But the great Bishop of the soul, Redeem'd us by his blood. 7 O Christians then, let us partake, And suffer with our Lord; And bear the Cross for Jesus sake, And wait the Great reward.

That steward accus'd to his Lord

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXIV (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 That steward accus'd to his Lord, Soon heard that solemn fatal word; Come quickly give account to me: Thou can'st no longer steward be. 2 Shew thy account and state thy case: Thou shalt no longer keep that place-- My goods, to thee I can't intrust, Since I do hear thou art unjust. 3 On earth as stewards we are plac'd, Not to neglect, destroy, or waste; The gifts and graces God doth give, But to improve them while we live. 4 Before the Lord we must appear, To answer for our steward-ships here; We must account to God alone, For all that we on earth have done. 5 Then let us seek and strive to know, And humbly ask what we shall do; To fit us for the time to come When we must seek another home. 6 The text directs you very plain, How to this home you may attain; Pray notice well and understand The great Jehovah's just command. 7 If you have riches less or more, And there with help, the helpless poor-- Then may you ever hope to speed, And find a home when you shall need.

The Almighty reigns exalted high

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XCVII.III (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 8 The Almighty reigns exalted high O'er all the earth, o'er all the sky; Tho' clouds and darkness veil his feet, His dwelling is the mercy-seat. 9 O ye that love his holy name, Hate ev'ry work of sin and shame; He guards the souls of all his friends, And from the snares of hell defends. 10 Immortal light, and joys unknown, Are for the saints in darkness sown; Those glorious seeds shall spring and rise, And the bright harvest bless our eyes. 11 Rejoice, ye righteous, and record The sacred honours of the Lord: None but the soul that feels his grace Can triumph in his holiness.

The best of counsels we can give

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXXXI (1816) Lyrics: 1 The best of counsels we can give, As teachers of the word; That is to shew how christians live, As pleasing to the Lord. 2 We may enjoy the peace of mind, As Christians truly ought: When we endure and are resign'd To bear our fate and lot. 3 Our gifts and graces we improve, As God is pleas'd to give; His grace to grow, in faith and love, And holiness to live. 4 When we obey that blessed call, Which we have from above; Then Christ becomes our all in all, And we shall walk in love. 5 Where all these virtues do abound, There is a heav'n begun; There are the greatest treasures found, That are beneath the Sun.

The bless'd and saving grace of God

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XIX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The bless'd and saving grace of God Doth plainly now appear; The Gospel truth's are understood, By all who wish to hear. 2 Such light and knowledge as we need, That is on us bestow'd, That which enlightens us indeed, To know the living God. 3 This grace that hath salvation brought, It proves the saving means; And thereby we are likewise taught, To mortify our sins. 4 Ungodliness and worldly lust They must be crucified, And ev'ry base desire must By christians be denied. 5 A holy godly life to live, Must be our care and aim, And for each blessing we receive To praise the Saviour's name. 6 This saving grace affords us hope, And knowledge, love and pow'r, And we with confidence look up To Jesus every more.

The Christian Church should well partake

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XXVII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Christian Church should well partake The parable, the Saviour spake, To shew the Jews their wretched state, And what would shortly be their fate. 2 Such fig-trees, which in Vineyards grow, And carefully attended to; Ought in due time their fruit to yield, Like stores of corn from a good field. 3 Such was the Jewish nations case, Whilst they had all the means of grace! Like as a fig-tree on good ground, So did God's grace to them abound. 4 But when their fruits were truly sought And their works proven which they wrought, All was corrupted, base and mean; Their best devotions were but sin. 5 And as the master gave command, Let not that barron fig-tree stand; His orders were to cut it down, Why should it cumber so much ground?
