Come ye who are the bidden guests

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXXXVI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come ye who are the bidden guests, Come and partake the Saviour's feast-- We call on you, and all to come, Pray don't refuse or stay at home. 2 Act not like as the Jews once did, When they were to the Gospel bid; When they despis'd the calls of God And trampled on the Saviour's blood. 3 They slew the servants of the Lord, Brought on themselves the just reward; God's judgements they could not avoid: Their church and city was destroy'd. 4 Yet God continued his call, His messengers were sent to all; The nation's all of ev'ry land, Were made to hear his great command. 5 Ye vagrant, wand'ring soul draw near, Obey the blessed call ye hear; Come and receive what Christ will give! Come, and your dying souls shall live. 6 Ye sinners all of ev'ry kind! Why would you wish to stay behind; Are ye oppress'd and griev'd with sin, Yet Jesus waits to take you in.

Come, we that love the Lord

Author: Watts Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCCXVIII (1816) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne. 2 The sorrows of the mind Be banish'd from the place! Religion never was design'd To make our pleasures less. 3 Let those refuse to sing, Who never knew our God, But fav'rites of the heav'nly King May speak their joys abroad. 4 The God that rules on high, And thunders when he please, That rides upon the stormy sky, And manages the seas. 5 This awful God is ours, Our Father and our love, He shall send down his heav'nly pow'rs To carry us above. 6 There we shall see his face And never, never sin There from the rivers of his grace Drink endless pleasures in. 7 Yes, and before we rise To that immortal state, The thoughts of such amazing bliss Should constant joys create. 8 The men of grace have found Glory begun below, Celestial fruits on earthly ground From faith and hope may grow. 9 The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacred sweets, Before we reach the heav'nly fields Or walk the golden streets. 10 Then let our songs abound, And ev'ry tear by dry; W'ere marching through Immanuel's ground To fairer worlds on high.

Commit thy way unto the Lord

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCXI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Commit thy way unto the Lord, In troubles and distress; And let his promise be your guard, Your trust, your hope and peace. 2 All your complaints to him are known And open to his view; Your ev'ry sigh and ev'ry groan, He hears and answers too. 3 His ways and dealings all are just, Tho' not as man request; Yet all his dispensations must Then answer for the best. 4 Tho' pain and sickness bear you down Like as a heavy load; Yet all may serve to gain the crown, Bestow'd on you from God. 5 Here view the footsteps of his love, And tokens of his grace, Whom he relieves, he must reprove, That they may learn his ways. 6 And shouldst thou pass the vale of death, The Lord will be thy friend; And breathing of the latest breath, Thy life in peace shall end.

Consider my affliction, Lord

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.CXIX.Resch (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 153 Consider my affliction, Lord, And me from bondage draw; Think on thy servant in distress, Who ne'er forgets thy law. 154 Plead thou my cause; to that and me Thy timely aid afford; With beams of mercy quicken me, According to thy word. 155 From harden'd sinners thou remov'st Salvation far away; 'Tis just thou shouldst withdraw from them Who from thy statutes stray. 156 Since great thy tender mercies are To all who thee adore; According to thy judgments, Lord, My fainting hopes restore. 157 A num'rous host of spiteful foe Against my life combine; But all too few to force my soul Thy statues to decline. 158 Those bold transgressors I beheld, And was with grief oppress'd, To see with what audacious pride Thy cov'nant they transgress'd. 159 Yet while they slight, consider, Lord, How I thy precepts love; O therefore quicken me with beams Of mercy from above. 160 As from the birth of time thy truth Has held through ages past, So shall thy righteous judgments, firm, To endless ages last.

Could I, with tongues of Angels speak

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #L (1816) Lyrics: 1 Could I, with tongues of Angels speak With all the eloquence of men! And not the love of God partake, All my profession would be vain. 2 I should be like the sounding Brass, Or like the tinkling of a Bell; And should I for an Angel pass, It would not save my soul from Hell. 3 Had I the gifts of prophecy, And all the mysteries reveal'd, Yet in my sins I be to die, Unless my heart with love is fill'd. 4 Had I such faith as could remove The greatest mountains from their place; Yet all in vain, till christian love Is wrought in me, by saving grace. 5 If all my goods the poor to feed, With my concent was freely giv'n; But without charity indeed, I never should be fit for heav'n. 6 My body given for to burn, To make attonements for my sin-- I should be like a varnish'd urn, That which hath nought but filth within. 7 O, may that precious gift of God! True charity, that grace divine-- In all my heart be shed abroad, And seal me Lord for ever thine. Topics: Quinquagesima Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13 Languages: English

To ransome us, to take us home, To be and dwell with thee. 7 We praise thee, O thou mighty one, Thy mercies we adore; To thee, O Saviour, thee alone! Be praise for ever more.

Dear Lord accept my evening song

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCL (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord accept my evening song, Such as my soul can raise; Receive the off'rings of my tongue, And help me sing thy praise. 2 Through grace and mercy I was spar'd, To close another day: O may I duly be prepar'd! My tribute now to pay. 3 What can I offer thee my Lord, To recompense thy love; Yea, all I have or could afford, Would not sufficient prove. 4 Thy mercies are beyond degree, They cannot be express'd; Thy blessings still bestow'd on me, Can only make me blest. 5 What numbers of the human race, This evening weep and mourn; The evils which with some took place, Are scarcely to be borne. 6 What accidents of grief and woe, Were many made to share: To trace this vale of tears below, We find such ev'ry where. 7 Why was it not my lot and fate, Like such to feel the rod! Who kept me in a better state, But thou my gracious God! 8 How greatly should this humble me That such a worm as I, An object of thy grace should be, Such mercies to enjoy. 9 I praise thee O my Lord and King, Thy goodness I adore; My soul shall of thy mercies sing,, And thank thee evermore.

Dear Saviour, bounteous are thy hands

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, bounteous are thy hands, Thy mercies are unknown: Thy mighty word,, thy great commands, Can bring thy blessings down. 2 O Lord, how wond'rous are thy ways, Thy counsels none can know. Thy love, thy mercy and thy grace, Provides for all below. 3 Not as the eyes of men do see, Or human mind perceive; That all the world is fed by thee, And ev'ry creature live. 4 Some thousands once had follow'd thee Into the wilderness; Thou hadst compassion them to see, Faint, hungry, and distress'd. 5 But all their wants were soon supplied At thy commanding word-- They ate, and all were satisfied, And praised thee their Lord. 6 O happy they, who on thee wait! And to thy call's attend; What joy and comforts will they meet, With thee, their Lord and friend. Topics: Seventh Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Mark 8:1-9 Languages: English
