A call to repentance

Hymnal: MoZ1845 #129 (1845) Tune Title: A CALL TO REPENTANCE First Line: Repent, the voice celestial cries Lyrics: 1 Repent, the voice celestial cries, Nor longer dare delay; The soul that scorns the mandate dies, And meets the wrathful day. 2 No more the sovereign eye of God O'erlooks the crimes of men; His heralds now are sent abroad, To warn the world of sin. 3 O sinner! in his presence bow, And all your guilt confess; Accept the offer'd Saviour now, Nor trifle with his grace. 4 Soon will the awful trumpet sound, And call you to his bar; For mercy knows th' appointed bound, And yields to vengeance there. 5 Oh! hear the Saviour's gracious call, While he prolongs your days; Now yield your hearts, and prostrate fall, And weep, and love, and praise.

A home in heaven

Hymnal: MoZ1845 #74 (1845) Tune Title: A HOME IN HEAVEN First Line: A home in heaven! what a joyful thought Lyrics: 1 A home in heaven! what a joyful thought, As the poor man toils in his weary lot! His heart opprest, and with anguish driven, From his home below, to his home in heaven, From his home below, to his home in heaven. 2 A home in heaven! as the sufferer lies On his bed of pain, and uplifts his eyes To that bright home; what a joy is given, With the blessed thought of his home in heaven. 3 A home in heaven! when the pleasures fade, And our wealth and fame in the dust are laid; And strength decays, and our health is riven, We are happy still with our home in heaven. 4 A home in heaven! when the faint heart bleeds, By the Spirit's stroke, for its evil deeds; Oh! then what bliss in that heart forgiven, Does the hope inspire of its home in heaven. 5 A home in heaven! when our friends are fled To the cheerless gloom of the mouldering dead; We wait in hope on the promise given; We will meet up there in our home in heaven. 6 A home in heaven! when the wheel is broke, And the golden bowl by the terror-stroke; When life's bright sun sinks in death's dark even, We will then fly up to our home in heaven. 7 Our home in heaven! oh, the glorious home, And the Spirit, join'd with the bride, says "come!" Come, seek his face, and your sins forgiven, And rejoice in hope of your home in heaven.

Advice to youth

Hymnal: MoZ1845 #196 (1845) Tune Title: ADVICE TO YOUTH First Line: Now in the heat of youthful blood Lyrics: 1 Now in the heat of youthful blood, Remember your Creator, God; Behold the months come hast'ning on, When you shall say, "My joys are gone," Behold the months come hast'ning on, When you shall say "My joys are gone." 2 Behold the aged sinner goes, Laden with guilt and heavy woes, Down to the regions of the dead, With endless curses on his head. 3 The dust returns to dust again: The soul in agonies of pain Ascends to God; not there to dwell, But hears her doom, and sinks to hell. 4 Eternal King, I fear thy name! Teach me to know how frail I am: And when my soul must hence remove, Give me a mansion in thy love.

'tis to thee, This wish, this hope I owe; On earth my great protector be, In heaven thy glory show.

Where is now her pride and show? One brief day relates the story Of her final overthrow: Raise your wailings, kings and nobles, Priests and people, rich and poor,-- [Chorus] 4 Shout, ye saints, in exultation, Now your enemies are slain: Raise the anthem of salvation; Sing the grand millennial reign: Let the universal chorus Be repeated o'er and o'er,-- [Chorus] 5 Hark! the sound of many voices, Issuing from the crystal skies;-- Heaven's unnumber'd host rejoices, Swelling hallelujah's rise: Hallelujah! hallelujah! God's Almighty power adore! [Chorus] 6 Glory, honour, and salvation, Cry th' enraptured throngs again, While each Elder from his station, Shouts the long and loud amen: Hallelujah! hallelujah! Sounding still like thunder's roar,— [Chorus]

Blissful hours

Hymnal: MoZ1845 #57 (1845) Tune Title: BLISSFUL HOURS First Line: Blissful hours, when first I knew him Lyrics: 1 Blissful hours, when first I knew him-- Jesus, friend of all our race; When my heart clung fondly to him, In delighted, firm embrace; Then no fear nor sorrow shook me, Of his boundless love possest; In his saving arms he took me; I reposed upon his breast. 2 When the sky with morning brighten'd, And the day came on apace, He my rising sun enlighten'd. All my soul with beams of grace; Upward to my Saviour springing, On the wings of faith I flew; Hymns of grateful praises singing, Neither doubt nor care I knew. 3 When the light of day was waning, And the evening shadows fell; On his bosom safely leaning, I could warble, "All is well." I was happy in his keeping, Happy through the shades of night; Angels watch'd around me sleeping, And I dream'd of heavenly light. 4 When the blessed Sabbath enter'd, With its still and holy air; On His house my thoughts were center'd, For I long'd to meet him there. There I met my glorious Saviour, There I feasted on his word; Mine his promises and favor, Mine the everlasting Lord.

Arms of love around, beneath me-- Screen'd from all the powers of hell. 6 Hallelujah! homeward speeding; Friends behind, adieu, adieu: Follow ye the Spirit's leading: Homeward ye are tending too.
