For a time of general sickness

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXLIX (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Death with his dread commission seal'd Lyrics: 1 Death with his dread commission seal'd, Now hastens to his arms: In awful state he takes the field, And sounds his dire alarms. 2 Attendant plagues around him stand, And wait his dread command; And pains, and dying groans obey The signal of his hand. 3 With cruel force, he scatters round His shafts of deadly pow'r; While the grave waits its destin'd prey, Impatient to devour. 4 Look up, ye heirs of endless joy, Nor let your fears prevail; Eternal life is our reward, When life on earth shall fail. 5 What though his darts promiscous hurl'd, Deal fatal plagues around; And heaps of putrid carcases O'erload the cumber'd ground; 6 The arrows, that shall wound your flesh, Were giv'n him from above, Dipt in the great Redeemer's blood, And feather'd all with love. 7 These, with a gentle hand he throws, And saints lie gasping too; But heav'nly strength supports their souls, And bears them conqu'rors through.

Christ the pysician of souls

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CI (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Deep are the wounds that sin hath made Lyrics: 1 Deep are the wounds which sin hath made; Where shall the sinner find a cure? In vain, alas, is nature's aid, the work exceeds all nature's pow'r. 2 Sin, like a raging fever, reigns With fatal strength in every part; The dire contagion fills the veins, And spreads its poison to the heart. 3 And can no sov'reign balm be found? And is no kind physician nigh, To ease the pain and heal the wound, Ere life and hop forever fly? 4 There is a great physician near, Look up. O fainting soul, and live; See, in his heav'nly smiles appear Such ease as nature cannot give! 5 See in the Saviour's dying blood Life, health, and bliss abundant flow! 'Tis only this dear sacred flood Can cleanse the heart, and heal its woe. 6 Sin throws in vain its pointed dart, For here a sov'reign cure is found; A cordial for a fainting heart, A balm for every painful wound.

And scatters infinite delights On all the happy minds. 3 Seraphs with elevated strains, Circle the throne around: And move, and charm the starry plains, With an immortal sound. 4 Jesus, the Lord, their harps employs; Jesus, my love, they sing; Jesus, the life of both our joys, Sounds sweet from every string. 5 Now let me mount and join their song, And be an angel too; My heart, my hand, my ear, my tongue, Here's joyful work for you. 6 I would begin the music here, And so my soul would rise: O for some heav'nly notes to bear My passions to the skies! 7 There ye that love my Saviour sit; There I would fain have place, Among your thrones, or at your feet, So I might see his face.

Divinity of Christ

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XXXIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Ere the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad Lyrics: 1 Ere the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From everlasting was the Word: With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. 2 By his own pow'r were all things made; By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's head, And angels fly at his command. 3 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars. Thy generation who can tell, Or count the numbers of thy years! 4 But lo! he leaves those heav'nly forms, The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may hold converse with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. 5 Mortals with joy beheld his face, Th' eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth, how full of grace, When through his eyes the Godhead shone. 6 Archangels leave their high abode To learn new myst'ries here, and tell The loves of our descending God, The glories of Emmanuel.

The Unity of God

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #I (1799) First Line: Eternal God! Almighty cause Lyrics: Eternal God! Almighty cause Of earth, and seas, and worlds unknown; All things are subject to thy laws; All things depend on thee alone. 2 Thy glorious being singly stands, Of all within itself possest; Controll'd by none are thy commands; Thou from thyself alone art blest. 3 To thee alone ourselves we owe; Let heav'n and earth due homage pay; All other Gods we disavow, Deny their claims, renounce their sway. 4 Spread thy great name thro' heathen lands; Their idol-deities dethrone; Reduce the world to thy command; And reign, as thou art, God alone Topics: God His Unity Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4 Languages: English

Old Age approaching, or, man frail and mortal

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCLXVII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Eternal God! enthron'd on high! Lyrics: 1 Eternal God! enthron'd on high! Whom angel-hosts adore; Who yet to suppliant dust art nigh, thy presence I implore. 2 O guide me down the steep of age, And keep my passions cool; Teach me to scan the sacred page, And practice every rule. 3 My flying years time urges on, What's human must decay; My friends, my young companions gone, Can I expect to stay? 4 Can I exemption plead, when death Projects his awful dart? Can med'cines then prolong my breath, Or virtue shield my heart? 5 Ah! no--then smooth the mortal hour, On thee my hope depends; Support me with almighty power, While dust to dust descends. 6 Then shall my soul, O gracious God! (While angels join the lay) Admitted to the bless'd abode, Its endless anthems pay. 7 Through heav'n, howe'er remote the bound, Thy matchless love proclaim, And join the choir of saints that sound Their great Redeemer's name.

God exalted above all Praise

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XI (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Eternal Power! whose high abode Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power! whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God; Infinite length, beyond the bounds Where stars revolve their little rounds. 2 The lowest step above thy seat Rises too high for Gabriel's feet; In vain the tall Arch-angel tries To reach the height with wondering eyes. 3 Lord, what shall earth and ashes do? We would adore our Maker too; From sin and dust to thee we cry, The Great, the Holy, and the High! 4 Earth, from afar, has heard thy fame, And worms have learn'd to lisp thy name; But O, the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 5 God is in Heaven, but man below; Be short our tunes, our words be few: A sacred reverence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.
