Blest is the man who shuns the place

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.I (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 gen'rous 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.

Blest is the man, whose breast can move

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XLI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man, whose breast can move, And melt with pity to the poor, Whose soul, by sympathizing love, Feels what his fellow saints endure. 2 His heart contrives for their relief More good than his own hands can do; He in the time of gen'ral grief Shall find the Lord hath mercy too. 3 His soul shall live secure on earth With sacred blessings on his head, When drought, and pestilence, and dearth, Around him multiply their dead. 4 Or if he languish on his couch, God will pronounce his sins forgiv’n, Will save him with a healing touch, Or take his willing soul to heav’n.

Blest is the nation, where the Lord

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XXXIII.II (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 7 Blest is the nation, where the Lord Hath fix'd his gracious throne; Where he reveals his heav’nly word And calls their tribes his own. 8 His eye, with infinite survey Does the whole behold; He form'd us all of equal clay And knows our feeble mould. 9 Kings are not rescu'd by the force Of armies from the grave; Nor speed nor courage of a horse Can his bold rider save. 10 Vain is the strength of beasts or men, Nor springs our safety thence; But holy souls from God obtain A sure and strong defence. 11 God is their fear, and God their trust; When plagues or famine spread, His watchful eye secures the just, Among ten thousand dead. 12 Lord, let our hearts in thee rejoice, And bless us from thy throne; For we have made thy word our choice; And trust thy grace alone.

Blow ye the trumpet, blow

Cast all your cares upon the Lord

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CIII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Cast all your cares upon the Lord, Who careth still for you; Your pray'rs shall ever more be heard: Yes, heard and answer'd too. 2 O! watch and pray in all your lives; Resist the Devil's pow'r! Who like a roaring Lion strives, Your souls for to devour. 3 O be ye stedfast, strong in hope Preserve a living faith! That will support and bear you up, Against the pow'rs of death. 4 Should we refuse the Cross to bear? To shew the Saviour's name; Our faithful brethern every where, Do ever bear the same. 5 And after suff'ring here awhile, The sorrows ye may meet; All our afflictons, pain and toil, Will make our joys complete. 6 The God of love, of peace and grace, Your Great and Mighty friend! Establish you in all his ways, Until your warfare end. Topics: Third Sunday after Trinity Scripture: 1 Peter 5:6-11 Languages: English

Children, in years or knowledge young

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XXXIV.II (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 7 Children, in years and knowledge young, Your parents’ hope, your parents’ joy, Attend the counsels of my tongue, Let pious thoughts your minds employ. 8 If you desire length of days, And peace to crown your mortal state, Restrain your feet from impious ways, Your lips from slander and deceit. 9 The eyes of God regard his saints, His ears are open to their cries; He sets his frowning face against The sons of violence and lies. 10 To humble souls and broken hearts God with his grace is ever nigh; Pardon and hope his love imparts When men in deep contrition lie. 11 He tells their tears, he counts their groans, His Son redeems their souls from death; His spirit heals their broken bones, His praise employs their tuneful breath.

Christ's servants should not be afraid

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #LXXXIX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Christ's servants should not be afraid, Their duties to perform; The promises, the Lord hath made, Will guard them in the storm. 2 They should not think it hard or strange, To bear the Saviour's Cross; For Satan seeks to have revenge On those who cause his loss. 3 When Satan, sin, and world combine, Their labours to oppose; Yet Jesus by his pow'r divine, Will baffle all such foes. 4 Tho' griefs and sorrows them await, And trails of their faith; To some it proves, their lot and fate, To feel the stroke of death. 5 All this should never more indeed: Fright feeble saints away; God giveth strength as they do need, According to the day. 6 Supported by that mighty hand, Such servants may endure-- To persevere and firmly stand, In spite of Satan's pow'r.

Come all ye weary sinners come

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXC (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come all ye weary sinners come, Come hasten in, fill up this roon, Here is a feast prepar'd by love; Come taste the blessing from above. 2 Here is a lamb, for you 'tis slain, Who died in sorrow, grief and pain, Who spared not his precious blood: But freely spilt it for your good. 3 Remember, that for you he died, Your great salvation to provide, To save your souls from endless pain, And bring you home to God again. 4 Though you have erred from his way, Like wand'ring sheep have gone astray: By him ye shall be made to know, The way in which ye ought to go. 5 O! helpless creatures, poor and blind, The Lord is gracious, good and kind, Your sins he freely will forgive, And cause your dying souls to live. 6 O! east and drink with thankfulness, Partake the bounties of his grace. Receive what he will freely give, Who died for you, that you should live. 7 Your off'rings now with gladness bring Praise him, the great eternal King: Shew forth his mercies, make them known, And live that you may die his own. 8 Here call his mercies all to mind, His mercies all of ev'ry kind, Are numberless and very great, Far more than mortal scan relate. 9 Ye, who were once condemn'd to hell, Where fallen angels are to dwell: The place where fear and darkness reign, The place of endless dread and pain. 10 But Jesus now has set you free, And by his grace are made to be: Here at this feast a welcome guest, To share his blessings with the blest. 11 O blessed message from above, To you from God, the God of love, Who pities you, for Jesus sake, And now invites you to partake. 12 O come ye then, partake the feast, O come and be the Saviour's guest; Though bread and wine appears but giv'n, 'Tis life itself, come down from heav'n. 13 Oh! sinners, now on you I call, Oh! sinners, I invite you all, Oh! sinners, now repent and b'lieve; Oh! sinners, come to Christ and live. 14 The feast is now for you prepar'd, The Lord has in his word declar'd, That sinners of the vilest kind; In Jesus may salvation find. 15 The great Redeemer died for you, Partake the feast and prove it true; Come sinners, now accept the call, And live for him, who died for all.

Come blessed spirit from above

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XCV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come blessed spirit from above, And visit us below-- Cause us to taste and feel thy love: In thee to live and grow. 2 No gift but thine our soul inspires To love thee as we would; Nor work is us such pure desires, To serve thee as we should. 3 Thy gifts alone can cheer the mind And cause our fears depart; Without that, we are deaf and blind, And of a stubborn heart. 4 By nature we are prone to ill: Perverse are all our ways-- And we have neither strength nor will To live unto thy praise. 5 But when thy blessings are bestow'd, These wants are all supplied! And we partake the grace of God Till we are sanctified. 6 Thus we are made the truth to hear, And trust unto thy word-- And with a Godly holy fear To worship thee our Lord.
