The Christian life should ever be

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXXXVII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Christian life should ever be Attended with due care; That other's too should learn and see What faithful christians are. 2 The christian should not act unwise, But search that he may know The way to gain the heav'nly prize That Jesus will bestow. 3 What God on christians hath bestow'd, Should never be abus'd; But as the precious gifts of God Be well applied and us'd. 4 But they should ever be employ'd To learn the Saviour's ways; And let each soul be edified, By singing of his praise. 5 To thank the Lord and praise his name Their hearts should be inclin'd, And all their object and their theme, To learn the Saviour's mind.

The christian suff'rings here below

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CV (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The christian suff'rings here below, Do not deserve to be compar'd! Unto the joys God will bestow, To those who trust unto his word. 2 On this sure promise they may build! They never need to doubt or fear-- Such glories are in them reveal'd, Which will repay their suff'rings here. 3 Happy will be the time indeed, For which the whole creation wait; When ev'ry creature shall be freed From their oppress'd and mournful state. 4 In Adam's fall the whole was made, Subject to vanity and sin-- the curse on all the earth was laid, And all that is contain'd therein. 5 All creatures may be said to groan, And travel in distress and pain; All living creatures, Sun and Moon, They feel the curse of guilt and stain. 6 But when the blessed sons of God In all their glory come to view; When heav'n and earth shall be renew'd, All creatures are redeemed too.

The duty first on us enjoin'd

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXXII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The duty first on us enjoin'd, That is to love the Lord: With all our hearts, and all our mind, And all we can afford. 2 The next command is full as great, To love our neighbours too-- Of like importance, and of weight, As all the scriptures shew. 3 If we love God with all our heart; Then sure it must succeed; We ne'er neglect to act our part, To those who are in need. 4 All acts of mercy God respects! Far more than sacrifice; For such are they which he directs: And ever highly prize. 5 That soul can never be impress'd, With love and grace divine; Who will not feel for the distress'd, To bear them on their mind. 6 Where words and actions don't agree, Profession is in vain. For love to God there cannot be, Where there is none to men. 7 All such religion is but mock, A tree without a root: Where it consists of only talk, And not of genuine fruit.

The faithful servants of the Lord

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XLVIII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The faithful servants of the Lord, Who teach the plain and simple word Are always tempted, always tried, Distress'd and vext on ev'ry side. 2 Such was the first Apostl's fate, As sacred writings do relate; And all their faithful partners meet, The like reward and equal treat. 3 Oftimes they are falsely accus'd, And therefore slander'd and abus'd; When they endeavour to discharge, Their office to the world at large. 4 The Gospel is the purest light, It brings the sacred truth to sight; But where the truth, its beauty shows, There Satan's Kingdom will oppose. 5 The Servants of the Saviour are Expos'd to danger, dread and fear; Continual conflicts, war and strife Attends the course of all their life. 6 Expos'd to wants of ev'ry kind, Distress'd in body and in mind-- Esteem'd as men of meanest worth, As the off-scourings of the earth. 7 Oftimes as Pilgrim's, here they roam, No certain stay, or Place of home; The chief reward they hope to have, Is that which is beyond the grave.

The fall of man how deep and great

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCLXX (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The fall of man how deep and great, How sad and wretched is his state; God's image in his soul effac'd! To all reproach and shame abas'd. 2 Subject to Satan and his pow'r, Can love and serve his God no more; The drifts and studies of his mind, Are of the base and vilest kind. 3 Poor helpless creature in this blood? Yet lives at enmity with God, To God and all his ways estrang'd, Until his heart by brace is chang'd. 4 The head is sick, the heart is faint, Incurable is the complaint; The wisest angels from above! Their sad diseases can't remove. 5 Jesus, physician of the soul, Can only make such patients whole; Such medicine as he doth give, Can make the dying soul to live. 6 His precious blood for sinners shed, Is the bless'd Balm of Giliad! A medicine of greater worth Than all in heav'n or all on earth. 7 Ye sick and fainting souls draw nigh, To him alone for help apply; Such wounds and bruises as ye feel, Will Christ your great physician heal. 8 His love and grace to you abounds; How sweet his invitation sounds; Come unto me ye helpless poor, Your health and life I will restore.

The Feast of Easter was enjoin'd

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #LXXIII (1816) Lyrics: 1 The Feast of Easter was enjoin'd To keep our Saviour Christ in mind; He was our great Passover slain, Who once was dead but lives again. 2 That Paschal Lamb the Jews did eat, Pre-figur'd Christ our Lord complete! The whole of what it typified, Was all complete when Jesus died. 3 We also have a Paschal Lamb, Since Christ, our great Passover came; He died to be our sacrifice, And rose that we should also rise. 4 Let us agree with one accord, To keep this feast unto the Lord! But not in malice or deceit For such the Lord will ever hate. 5 To purge the heart from base desire! The keeping of this feast requires-- To love the Lord our living head, Is feasting on unleaven'd bread. Topics: The Feast of Easter Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:6-8 Languages: English

The glories of my Maker, God

Author: Watts Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCLXV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The glories of my Maker, God, My joyful voice shall sing. And call the nations to adore Their Former and their King. 2 'Twas his right hand that shap'd our clay, And wrought this human frame; But from his own immediate breath Our nobler spirits came. 3 We bring our mortal pow'rs to God, And worship with our tongues; We claim some kindred with the skies, And join th'angelic songs. 4 Let grov'ling beasts of ev'ry shape, And fowls of ev'ry wing, And rocks, and trees, and fires, and seas, Their various tribute bring. 5 Ye planets to his honor shine, And wheels of nature roll; Praise him in your unweary'd course Around the steady pole. 6 The brightness of our Maker's name The wide creation fills. And his unbounded grandeur flies, Beyond the heav'nly hills. Topics: On the Creation Languages: English

The God Jehovah reigns

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XCIX.I (1816) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The God Jehovah reigns, Let all the nations fear; Let sinners tremble at his throne, And saints be humble there. 2 Jesus the Saviour reigns; Let earth adore its Lord; Bright cherubs his attendants stand, Swift to fulfil his word. 3 In Zion stands his throne, His honours are divine; His church shall make his wonders known, For there his glories shine. 4 How holy is his name! How terrible his praise! Justice and truth, and judgment join In all his works of grace. Topics: Christ's Kingdom and Majesty Scripture: Psalm 99:1-4 Languages: English

The grace of God be with you hence

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCVIII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The grace of God be with you hence, And heav'nly aid afford, To be your shield and sure defence, To serve your blessed Lord. 2 Like faithful soldiers act your part, And never yield to sin, But seek the Lord with all your heart, The precious prize to win. 3 Remember well the covenant, That which you now have made, To bear the Cross, be ye content', With Christ your living head. 4 O keep in view the great reward, Look to the life to come, Which you shall have when Christ your Lord Shall come to take you home. 5 Lord grant us grace with confidence, To bear our crosses here, That when thou callest us from hence, We may with joy appear.

The great Apostle gave command

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CLXVIII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The great Apostle gave command, Let ev'ry Church in order stand; Good regulations must be made, And be by all the Church obey'd. 2 To answer that, so good effect, Saint Paul himself thus did direct: To order Deacons ev'ry where, Who should that sacred office bear. 3 Let such who act the faithful part, And have the cause of Christ at heart, And such as are of good repute, That needful office execute. 4 Is it their aim in all they do, To raise the Saviour's Church below! Their faithful labours will be blest, And Jesus' kingdom be increas'd. 5 Dear Lord be with thy spirit near, While we ordain these brethren here; May zeal and knowledge, love and grace, Prepare and fit them for that place. 6 Be thou their counsel when they need, Their conduct bless, their labours speed; O may they be of greatest worth, To aid and build thy church on earth.
