True Happiness
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CVIII (1791) Topics: Christian Consolation First Line: How happy is the Christian's State Lyrics: 1 How happy is the Christian's State!
His Sins are all forgiven;
A cheering Ray confirms the Grace,
And lifts his Hopes to Heav'n.
2 Tho' in the rugged Path of Life,
He heaves the pensive Sigh;
Yet trusting in his God he finds
Deliv'ring Grace is nigh.
3 If, to prevent his wand'ring Steps,
He feels the chast'ning Rod;
The gentle Stroke shall bring him back
To his forgiving God.
4 And when the welcome Message comes
To call his Soul away;
His Soul, in Raptures shall ascend
To everlasting Day. Languages: English

Blest is the Man who shuns the Place
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #XXXI (1791) Topics: Christian Consolation Lyrics: 1. Blest is the Man who shuns the Place
Where Sinners love to meet;
Who fears to tread their wicked Ways,
And hates the Scoffer's Seat:
2. But in the Statutes of the Lord
Has plac'd his chief Delight;
By Day he reads or hears the Word,
And meditates by Night.
3. (He like a Plant of gen'rous kind,
By living Waters set,
Safe from the Storms and blasting Wind,
Enjoys a peaceful State.]
4. Great as the Leaf, and ever fair
Shall his Profession shine,
While Fruits of holiness appear
Like Clusters on the Vine.
5. Not so the Impious and Unjust;
What vain Designs they form1
Their Hopes are blow'n away like Dust,
Or Chaff before the Storm.
6 Sinners in Judgment shall not stand
Amongst the Sons of Grace,
When Christ the Judge at his right Hand,
Appoints his Saints a Place.
7. His Eye beholds the Path they tread;
His Heart aproves it well:
But crooked Ways of Sinners lead
Down to the Gates of Hell.

Death may dissolve my Body now
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LXII (1791) Topics: Christian Consolation 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 ev'ry 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. Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:6-7 Languages: English

The Promis'd Land
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LXXIX (1791) Topics: Christian Consolation First Line: Far from these narrow Scenes of Night Lyrics: 1 Far from these narrow Scenes of Night,
Unbounded Glories rise,
And Realms of infinite delight,
Unknown to Mortal Eyes.
2 There Pain and Sickness never come,
And Grief no more complains;
Health Triumphs in Immortal Bloom,
And endless Pleasure reigns.
3 No Cloud those blissful Regions know,
For ever bright and fair!
For Sin, the source of mortal Woe,
Can never enter there.
4 There no alternate Night is known,
Nor Sun's faint sickly Ray;
But Glory from the sacred Throne
Spreads everlasting Day.
5 O may the heav'nly Prospect fire
Our Hearts with ardent Love,
Till Wings of Faith, and strong Desire
Bear ev'ry Thought above.
6 Prepare us, Lord, by Grace Divine
For thy bright Courts on High;
Then bid our Spirits rise and join
The Chorus of the Sky. Languages: English

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXLVI (1791) Topics: Christian Consolation First Line: Kind souls, who for the miseries moan Lyrics: 1 Kind Souls, who for the Mis'ries moan
Of those who seldom mind their own;
But treat your Zeal with cold Disdain,
Resolv'd to make your Labours vain.
2 You whose sincere Affection tends,
To help your dear, ungrateful Friends,
Who think you Foes, or Mad, or Fools,
Because you fain would save their Souls.
3 Though deaf to ev'ry Warning giv,n,
They scorn to walk with you to Heav'n;
But ofthen think, and sometimes say,
They'll never go if that's the Way.
4 Though they the Spirit of God resist,
Or ridicule your Faith in Christ;
Tho' they blaspheme, oppose, contemn;
And hate you for your Love to them.
5 One secret Way is left you still,
To do them Good against their Will:
Here they can no Obstruction give;
You may do this without their Leave.
6 Fly to the Throne of Grace by Pray'r,
And pour out all your Wishes there:
Effectual fervent Pray'r prevails,
When ev'ry other Method fails. Languages: English

Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLXIII (1791) Topics: Christian Consolation Lyrics: 1 Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove
My Faith, my Patience, and my Love:
When Men of Spight against me join,
They are the Sword, the Hand is thine.
2 their Hope and Portion lies below:
'Tis all the Happiness they know,
'Tis all they seek; they take their Shares,
And leave the rest among their Heirs.
3 What Sinners Value, I resign;
LORD, 'tis enough that thou art mine:
I shall behold thy blissful Face,
And stand complete in Righteousness.
4 This Life's a Dream, an empty Show;
But the bright World to which I go
Hath Joys substantial and sincere:
When shall I wake and find me there!
5 O Glorious Hour! O blest Abode!
I shall be near and like my God!
And Flesh and Sin no more controul
The sacred Pleasures of the Soul.
6 My Flesh shall slumber in the Ground
'Till the last Trumpet's joyful Sound;
Then burst the Chains with sweet Surprize
And in my SAVIOUR's image rise. Scripture: Titus 3:3-7 Languages: English

The Presence of GOD worth dying for
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLXXI (1791) Topics: Christian Consolation First Line: Lord, 'tis an infinite Delight Lyrics: 1 Lord, 'tis an infinite Delight
To see thy lovely Face,
To dwell whole Ages in thy Sight,
And feel thy vital Rays.
2 This Gabriel knows; and sings thy Name
With Raptures on his Tongue;
Moses the Saint enjoys the same,
And Heav'n repeats the Song.
3 While the bright Nation Sounds thy Praise
From each Eternal Hill,
Sweet Odours of exhaling Grace
The happy Region fill.
4 Thy love, a Sea without a Shore,
Spreads Life and Joy abroad;
O 'tis a Heav'n worth dying for
To see a smiling GOD.
3 Show me thy Face, and I'll away
From all inferior Things;
Speak, LORD, and here I quit my Clay,
And stretch my airy wings.
6 Sweet was the Journey to the Sky
And wondrous Prophet try'd;
"Climb up the Mount (says GOD) and die;"
The Prophet climb'd and dy'd.
7 Softly his fainting Head he lay
Upon his Maker's Breast;
His Maker kiss'd his Soul away,
And laid his Flesh to rest.
8 In GOD's own Arms he left the Breath
That GOD"S own Spirit gave;
His was the noblest Road to Death,
And his the sweetest Grave. Languages: English

Mercy comes to the Miserable
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLXXVIII (1791) Topics: Christian Consolation First Line: Mercy is welcome News indeed Lyrics: 1 Mercy is welcome News indeed,
To those that guilty stand:
Wretches that feel what Help they need,
Will bless the helping Hand.
2 Who rightly would his Alms dispose,
Must give them to the Poor:
None but the wounded Patient knows
That Comfort of his Cure.
3 We all have sinn'd against our GOD:
Exception none can boast:
But he that feels the heaviest Load,
Will prize Forgiveness most.
4 No Reck'ning can we rightly keep;
For who the Sums can know?
Some Souls are fifty Pieces deep;
And some Five Hundred owe.
5 But let out Debts be what they may,
However great, or small;
As soon as we have nought to pay,
Our LORD forgives us all.
6 'Tis perfect Poverty alone,
That sets the Soul at large;
While we can call one Mite our own,
We have no full Discharge.

Nor Sense nor Reason known,
What Joys the Father hath prepar'd
For those that Love the Son.
2 But the good Spirit of the Lord
Reveals A Heav'n to come:
The Beams of Glory in his Word
Allure and guide us home.

And all the Region Peace;
No wanton Lips, nor envious Eye
Can see or taste the Bliss.

Pollution, Sin, and Shame;
None shall obtain Admittance there,
But Foll'wers of the Lamb.

There all their Names are found;

To tread the heav'nly Ground. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 Languages: English

The Church, the Garden of Christ
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCCIV (1791) Topics: Christian Consolation First Line: We are a Garden wall'd around Lyrics: 1 We are a Garden wall'd around,
Chosen and made peculiar Ground;
A little Spot, enclos'd by Grace
Out of the World's wide Wilderness.
2 Like Trees of Myrrh and Spice we stand,
Planted by God the Father's Hand;
And all his Springs in Sion flow,
To make the young Plantation grow.
3 Awake, O, heav'nly Wind, and come,
Blow on this Garden of Perfume;
Spirit Divine! descend and breathe
A gracious Gale on Plants beneath.
4 Make our best Spices flow abroad,
To entertain our Saviour God;
And Faith, and Love, and Joy appear,
And ev'ry Grace be active here.
[5 Let my Beloved come and taste
His pleasant Fruits at his own Feast;
I come, my Spouse, I come, he cries,
With Love and Pleasure in his Eyes.
6 Our Lord into his Garden comes,
Well pleas'd to smell our poor Perfumes,
And calls us to a Feast Divine,
Sweeter than Honey, Milk, or Wine.
7 Eat of the Tree of Life, my Friends,
The Blessings that my Father sends;
Your Taste shall all my Dainties prove,
And drink abundance of my Love.
8 Jesus, we will frequent thy Board,
And sing the Bounties of our Lord;
But the rich Food on which we live
Demands more Praise than Tongues can give.] Scripture: Song of Solomon 4:12-15 Languages: English
