Invitation

Author: Steele Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CLXXV (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor Lyrics: 1 Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor, Behold a royal feast! Where mercy spreads her bounteous store, For every humble guest. 2 See, Jesus stands with open arms; he calls, he bids you come; Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms; But see, there yet is room. 3 Room in the Saviour's bleeding heart; There love and pity meet; Nor will he bid the soul depart, That trembles at his feet. 4 In him the Father reconcil'd Invites your souls to come; The rebel shall be call'd a child, And kindly welcom'd home. 5 O come, and with his children taste The blessings of his love; While hope attends the sweet repast Of nobler joys above. 6 There, with united heart and voice, Before th' eternal throne, Ten thousand thousand souls rejoice, In ecstacies unknown. 7 And yet ten thousand thousand more, Are welcome still to come: Ye longing souls, the grace adore; Approach, there yet is room.

The Resurrection of CHRIST

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XXVIII (1793) First Line: Yes, the Redeemer rose Lyrics: 1 Yes, the Redeemer rose; The Saviour left the dead; And o'er our hellish foes High rais'd his conq'ring head: In wild dismay The guards around Fall to the ground, And sink away. 2 Lo! the angelic bands In full assembly meet, To wait his high commands, And worship at his feet: Joyful they come, And wing their way From realms of day To Jesus' tomb. 3 Then back to Heaven thy fly, The joyful news to bear; Hark! as they soar on high, What music fills the air! Their anthems say, "Jesus who bled "Hath left the dead; "He rose to-day." 4 Ye mortals, catch the sound, Redeem'd by him from Hell; And send the echo round The globe on which you dwell: Transported cry, "Jesus who bled "Hath left the dead "No more to die." 5 All hail, triumphant Lord, Who sav'st us with thy blood! Wide be thy name ador'd Thou rising, reigning God! With thee we rise, With thee we reign, And empires gain Beyond the skies. Topics: Son Scripture: Luke 24:34 Languages: English

Weak Believers encouraged

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XCIX (1793) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Your harps, ye trembling saints Lyrics: 1 Your harps, ye trembling saints, Down from the willows take; Loud to the praise of Christ our Lord, Bid every string awake. 2 Tho' in a foreign land, We are not far from home; And nearer to our house above, We every moment come. 3 His grace will to the end Stronger and brighter shine; Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench the spark divine. 4 The time of love will come, When we shall clearly see Not only that he shed his blood, But each shall say, for me.

The Holy Spirit addressed under Darkness

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XLII (1793) First Line: Descend Holy Spirit, the Dove Lyrics: 1 Descend Holy Spirit, the Dove, And visit a sorrowful breast, My burden of guild to remove, And bring me assurance and rest: Thou only hast power to relieve A sinner o'erwhelm'd with his load, The sense of election to give, And sprinkle his heart with the blood. 2 With me, if of old thou hast strove, And kindly withheld me from sin; Resolv'd by the force of thy love, My worthless affections to win; The work of thy mercy revive, Invincible mercy exert, And keep my weak graces alive, And set up thy rest in my heart. 3 If when I have put thee to grief, And madly to folly return'd, Thy goodness hath been my relief, And lifted me up as I mourn'd; Most merciful Spirit of Grace, Relieve me again, and restore, MY spirit in holiness raise, To fall and to grieve thee no more. 4 If now I lament after God, And pant for a drop of his love, If Jesus, who pour'd out his blood, Obtain'd me a mansion above; Come, heavenly Comforter, come, Sweet witness of mercy divine! And make me thy permanent home, And seal me eternally thine. Topics: Holy Spirit Languages: English

The Doctrine of the Trinity, and the use of it

Author: Watts Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Father of glory, to thy name Lyrics: 1 Father of glory, to thy name Immortal praise we give, Who dost an act of grace proclaim, And bid us rebels live. 2 Immortal honour to the Son, Who makes thine anger cease; Our lives he ransom'd with his own, And dy'd to make our peace. 3 To thy Almighty Spirit be Immortal glory given, Whose influence brings us near to thee, And trains us up for heaven. 4 Let men, with their united voice, Adore th' eternal God, And spread his honours and their joys, Thro' nations far abroad. 5 Let faith, and love, and duty join, One general song to raise, And saints in earth and heaven combine In harmony and praise.

The Pool of Bethesda

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LXXII (1793) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Beside the gospel pool Lyrics: 1 Beside the gospel pool Appointed for the poor, From year to year, my helpless soul Has waited for a cure. 2 How often have I seen The healing waters move; And others, round me, stepping in Their efficacy prove. 3 But my complaints remain, I feel the very same; As full of guilt, and fear, and pain, As when as first I came. 4 Oh would the Lord appear, My malady to heal; He knows how long I've languish'd here, And what distress I feel. 5 How often have I thought, Why should I longer lie? Surely the mercy I have sought Is not for such as I. 6 But whither can I go? There is not other pool Where streams of sov'reign virtue flow, To make a sinner whole. 7 Here then, from day to day, I'll wait, and hope, and try; Can Jesus hear a sinner pray, Yet suffer him to die? 8 No: He is full of grace: He never will permit A soul, that fain would see his face, To perish at his feet.

Hope

Author: Steele Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXXVIII (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Why sinks my weak desponding mind? Lyrics: 1 Why sinks my weak desponding mind? Why heaves my heart the anxious sigh? Can sovereign goodness be unkind; Am I not safe if God is nigh? 2 He holds all nature in his hand: That gracious hand on which I live, Does life, and time, and death command, And has immortal joys to give. 3 'Tis he supports this fainting frame, On him alone my hopes recline; The wondrous glories of his name, How wide they spread! how bright they shine! 4 Infinite wisdom! boundless power! Unchanging faithfulness and love! Here let me trust, while I adore, Nor from my refuge e'er remove. 5 My God, if thou art mine indeed, Then I have all my heart can crave; A present help in times of need, Still kind to hear, and strong to save. 6 Forgive my doubts, O gracious Lord! And ease the sorrows of my breast; Speak to my heart the healing word, That thou art mine—and I am blest. Topics: Graces Scripture: 1 Samuel 30:6 Languages: English

Moderation

Author: Needham Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXXXVI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Happy the man, whose cautious steps Lyrics: 1 Happy the man, whose cautious steps Still keep the golden mean, Whose life, by wisdom's rules well form'd Declares a conscience clean. 2 Not of himself he highly thinks, Nor acts the boaster's part; His modest tongue the language speaks Of his still humbler heart. 3 Not in base scandal's arts he deals, For truth dwells in his breast; With grief he sees his neighbour's faults, And thinks and hopes the best. 4 What blessings bounteous heaven bestows, He takes with thankful heart; With temperance he both eats and drinks, And gives the poor a part. 5 To sect or party, his large soul Disdains to be confin'd; The good he loves of every name And prays for all mankind.

Penitence and Hope

Author: Steele Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXXXVII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Dear Saviour, when my thoughts recall Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, when my thoughts recall The wonders of thy grace, Low at thy feet asham'd I fall, And hide this wretched face. 2 Shall love like thine be thus repaid? Ah vile, ungrateful heart! By earth's low cares detain'd, betray'd, From Jesus to depar — 3 From Jesus, who alone can give True pleasure, peace and rest: When absent from my Lord, I live Unsatisfy'd, unblest. 4 But he, for his own mercy's sake, My wandering soul restores: He bids the mourning heart partake The pardon it implores. 5 O while I breathe to thee, my Lord, The penitential sigh, Confirm the kind, forgiving word, With pity in thine eye! 6 Then shall the mourner at thy feet Rejoice to seek thy face, And grateful own how kind, how sweet Thy condescending grace!

Resignation

Author: Beddome Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXXXVIII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: My times of sorrow and of joy Lyrics: 1 My times of sorrow and of joy, Great God! are in thy hand; My choicest comforts come from thee, And go at thy command. 2 If thou should'st take them all away, Yet would I not repine; Before they were possess'd by me, They were entirely thine. 3 Nor would I drop a murm'ring word, Tho' the whole world were gone; But seek enduring happiness In thee, and thee alone. 4 What is the world with all its store, 'Tis but a bitter-sweet; When I attempt to pluck the rose, A pricking thorn I meet. 5 Here perfect bliss can ne'er be found, The honey's mixt with gall; Midst changing scenes and dying friends Be thou my ALL IN ALL.
