Delight in God

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CXLVIII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Grant Lord, I may delight in thee Lyrics: 1 Grant Lord, I may delight in thee, And on thy care depend; To thee in ev'ry trouble flee, My best, my only friend. 2 When all created streams are dry'd, Thy fulness is the same; May I with this be satisfy'd, And glory in thy name! 3 Why should the soul a drop bemoan Who has a fountain near, A fountain which will ever run With waters sweet and clear? 4 No good in creatures can be found, But all is found in thee; I must be blessed, and abound, While thou art God to me. 5 O that I had a stronger faith To look within the veil, To credit what my Saviour saith, Whose word can never vail! 6 O Lord, I cast my care on thee, I triumph and adore; Henceforth my great concern shall be To love and please thee more.

The Mutability of the Creation, and the immutability of God

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Great Former of this various frame Lyrics: 1 Great Former of this various frame, Our souls adore thine awful name; And bow and tremble, while thy praise The Ancient of eternal days. 2 Thou, Lord, with unsurpris'd survey, Saw'st nature rising yesterday; And, as to-morrow, shall thine eye See earth and stars in ruin lie. 3 Beyond an angel's vision bright, Thou dwell'st in self-existent light; Which shines with undiminish'd ray, While suns and worlds in smoke decay. 4 Our days a transient period run, And change with ev'ry circling sun; And, in the firmest state we boast, A moth can crush us into dust. 5 But let the creature fall around: Let death consign us to the ground; Let the last gen'ral flame arise, And melt the arches of the skies: 6 Calm as the summer's ocean, we Can all the wreck of nature see, While grace secures us an abode, Unshaken as the throne of God.

The justice and goodness of God

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXXX (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Great God, my maker, and my king Lyrics: 1 Great God, my maker, and my King, Of thee I'll speak, of thee I'll sing; All thou hast done, and all thou dost, Declare thee good, proclaim thee just: 2 Thy ancient thoughts and firm decrees, Thy threat'nings and thy promises, The joys of Heav'n, the pains of hell, What angels taste, what devils feel. 3 Thy terrors and thine acts of grace, Thy threat'ning rod, and smiling face, Thy wounding and thy healing word, A world undone, a world restor'd 4 While these excite my fear and joy; While these my tuneful lips employ; Accept O Lord, the humble song, The tribute of a trembling tongue.

A Prayer for success to Missions

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCLV (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Great God of glory, show thy face Lyrics: 1 Great God of glory, show thy face, And crown our efforts with thy grace; In heathen lands thy gospel bless, And here secure its large increase. 2 Let Jews and Gentiles, bond and free, Embrace salvation, Lord, by thee; While those who now in darkness dwell, Deliv'rance sing from guilt and hell. 3 Millions there are on heathen ground, Who never heard the gospel's sound; O send it forth, and let it run, Swift and reviving as the sun. 4 O look on those who stand to tell Sinners the way that leads from hell: Guide thou their lips, their hearts unite; Teach them to act as in thy sight. 5 To those who give do thou impart A gen'rous, wise, and tender heart; Lord, crown their zeal, reward their care, That in thy grace thy all may share. 6 Let many stand around thy throne, From diff'rent climes, let many own The banner of the cross unfurl'd Has sav'd from hell a ruin'd world.

So shall our praises reach the sky, And ev'ry bosom grow with love. 4 O may our Pastor draw from thee Daily supplies of heav'nly grace!

Efficacious Grace

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #LII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Hail! mighty Jesus; how divine Lyrics: 1 Hail! mighty Jesus; how divine Is thy victorious sword! The stoutest rebel must resign, At thy commanding word. 2 Deep are the wounds thy arrows give; They pierce the hardest heart; Thy smiles of grace the slain revive, And joy succeeds to smart. 3 Still gird thy sword upon thy thigh, Come with majestic sway: Down from thy glorious throne on high, And make thy foes obey 4 And when thy victories are complete; When all the chosen race Shall round the throne of glory meet, To sing thy conquering grace; 5 O may my humble soul be found Among that favor'd band! And I, with them, thy praise will sound As round the throne we stand. Scripture: Psalm 45:3-5
