Death may dissolve my body now

Author: Watts Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCXV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 [Death may dissolve my body now, And bear my spirit home; Why do my minutes move so slow, Nor my salvation come? 2 With heav'nly weapons I have fought The battles of the Lord; Finish'd my course, and kept the faith, And wait the sure reward.] 3 God has laid up in heav'n for me A crown which cannot fade; The righteous Judge at that great day Shall place it on my head. 4 Nor hath the King of grace decreed This prize for me alone; But all that love, and long to see Th'appearance of his Son. 5 Jesus the Lord shall guard me safe From every ill design; And to his heav'nly kingdom take This feeble soul of mine. 6 God is my everlasting aid, And hell shall rage in vain; To him be highest glory paid, And endless praise. Amen. Topics: Visitation of the Sick For such as are supposed to be just expiring Languages: English

Deceitful thoughts and practices

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.CXIX.Samech (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 113 Deceitful thoughts and practices I utterly detest; But to thy law affection bear Too great to be exprest. 114 My hiding place, my refuge-tow'r, And shield art thou, O Lord; I firmly anchor all my hopes On thy unerring word. 115 Hence, ye that trade in wickedness, Approach not my abode; For firmly I resolve to keep The precepts of my God. 116 According to thy gracious word, From danger set me free; Nor make me of those hopes asham'd, That I repose in thee. 117 Uphold me, so shall I be safe, And rescu'd from distress; To thy decrees continually My just respect address. 118 the wicked thou hast trod to earth, Who from thy statutes stray'd; Their vile deceit the just reward, Of their own falsehood made. 119 The wicked from thy holy land Thou dost like dross remove; I therefore, with such justice charm'd, Thy testimonies love. 120 Yet with that love they make me dread Lest I should so offend, When on transgressors I behold Thy judgments thus descend.

Deep in our hearts let us record

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.LXIX.I (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Deep in our hearts let us record The deeper sorrow of our Lord, Behold the rising billows roll, To overwhelm his holy soul. 2 In long complaints he spends his breath, While hosts of hell, and pow'rs of death, And all the sons of malice join To execute their curst design. 3 Yet, gracious God, thy pow'r and love Have made the curse a blessing prove; Those dreadful suff'rings of thy Son Aton'd for sins which we had done. 4 The pangs of our expiring Lord The honours of thy law restor'd; His sorrows made Thy justice known, And paid for follies not his own. 5 O for his sake our guilt forgive, And let the mourning sinner live; The Lord will hear us in his name, Nor shall our hope be turn'd to shame.

Early, my God, without delay

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.LXIII.I (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Early, my God, without delay, I haste to seek thy face; My thirsty spirit faints away Without thy cheering grace. 2 So pilgrims on the scorching sand, Beneath a burning sky, Long for a cooling stream at hand, And they must drink or die. 3 I’ve seen thy glory and thy pow'r Thro' all thy temple shine; My God, repeat that heav’nly hour, That vision so divine. 4 Not all the blessings of a feast Can please my soul so well, As when thy richer grace I taste, And in thy presence dwell. 5 Not life itself, with all its joys, Can my best passions move, Or raise so high my cheerful voice, As thy forgiving love. 6 Thus till my last expiring day I’ll bless my God and King; Thus will I lift my hands to pray, And tune my lips to sing.

Eternal praises to my Lord

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCXVII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Eternal praises to my Lord, My soul desires to give' My health it is again restor'd, And I am spar'd to live. 2 My feeble body lay oppress'd, My soul wil fill'd with frief; I was on ev'ry side distress'd, Whilst hopeless of relief. 3 My life approach'd the brink of death, Just on the verge I lay: I nearly breath'd my latest breath, Which almost fled away. 4 But God has still prolong'd my days, Vouchsaf'd my life to save: And I will live unto his praise, Whilst life and breath I have. 5 His mercies I will ne'er forget, But thankful will I be; The mercies of my God are great! Which he has shown to me. 6 When all the help of man had fail'd To ease my of my pain: When death itself almost prevail'd, The Lord help'd me again. 7 The wonders thou my God hast wrought, My soul shall e'er adore; Till I can praise thee as I ought, And thank thee ever more.

Eternal praises to the Lord

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CLIX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Eternal praises to the Lord, Come let us join to give; By his protection and his guard We are yet spar'd to live. 2 Whilst many of our fellow-men, Were quickly call'd away: When in distress, and grief, and pain, They dropt their house of clay. 3 By grace, it is our happy lot: To have respite of days; It is God's will, that we should not Depart, without his grace. 4 May we be wise and ne'er forget, The troubles we were in! With sickness, pain,and death beset: As just reward for sin. 5 But he has turn'd his gracious hand, And laid his vengeance by; Still calls on this, our guilty land: Turn ye, why will ye die. 6 Then let us thank and praise our God, By whom we have been spar'd; And bear with his correcting rod, Till we are well prepar'd.

Exalt the Lord of God

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XCIX.II (1816) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 5 Exalt the Lord our God And worship at his feet; His nature is all holiness, And mercy is his seat. 6 When Isra'l was his church, When Aaron was his priest, When Moses cried, when Samuel pray'd, He gave his people rest. 7 Oft he forgave their sins, Nor would destroy their race; And oft he made his vengeance known When they abus'd his grace. 8 Exalt the Lord or God, Whose grace is still the same; Still he's a God of holiness, And jealous for his name.

Exceeding great is the reward

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCXXXV (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Exceeding great is the reward, To such who strive to serve the Lord; Who persevere and still endure, To war with sin and Satan's pow'r. 2 By self-experience they know, What sorrows they must undergo, 'Till they obtain and gain the field, 'Till ev'ry foe to them must yield. 3 How blest are they who run this course, In spite of Satan and his force: They gain the vict'ry and the prize, And enter in eternal joys. 4 Their suff'rings, conflicts, war and strife Will fit them for a better life: Such happiness they never knew, Shall then be open to their view. 5 In yonder world shall be reveal'd, The life of God in Christ conceal'd, Such glories as no one can paint, Shall be reveal'd in ev'ry saint. 6 All acts of love the christian wrought, Such as the world regarded not, The Lord will cause them to appear, And shew that such had serv'd him here. 7 Eye hath not seen, nor ear yet heard, What treasures Jesus has prepar'd; For those who love him with their heart, With him they have their lot and part. 8 With him they shall in glory dwell, Where happiness shall never fail; Where was and strife shall be no more, But peace for evermore endure. 9 In that great day they shall arise, And meet their Saviour in the skies; Their bodies chang'd and glorified! They meet the lamb and are his bride. Topics: Of Heaven and Future Happiness Languages: English

Far as thy name is known

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XLVIII.II (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 8 Far as thy name is known, The world declares thy praise; Thy saints, O Lord, before thy throne, Their songs of honour raise. 9 With joy thy people stand On Zion’s chosen hill, Proclaim the wonders of thy hand, And counsels of thy will. 10 Let strangers walk around The city where we dwell, Compass and view thy holy ground, And mark the building well. 11 The orders of thy house, The worship of thy court, The cheerful songs, the solemn vows, And make a fair report. 12 How decent and how wise! How glorious to behold! Beyond the pomp that charms the eyes, And rites adorn'd with gold. 13 The God we worship now Will guide us 'till we die; Will be our God while here below, And ours above the sky.

Father of mercies! bow thine ear

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCCXLVI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies! bow thine ear, Attentive to our earnest pray'r: We plead for those who plead for thee, Successful pleaders may they be! 2 How great their work, how vast their charge. Do Thou their anxious souls enlarge: Their best acquirements are our gain; We share the blessings they obtain. 3 Clothe, then, with energy divine Their words, and let their words be thine; To them thy sacred truth reveal, Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal. 4 Teach them to sow the precious seed, Teach them thy chosen flock to feed; Teach them immortal souls to gain-- Souls that will well reward their pain. 5 Let thronging multitudes around, Hear from their lips the joyful sound; In humble strains thy grace implore, And feel thy new-creating powr. 6 Let sinners break their massy chains, Distressed souls forget their pains; Let light through distant realms be spread, And Sion rear her drooping head.
