Social Prayer

Author: Newton Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CLXIX (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Dear Shepherd of thy people hear Lyrics: 1 Dear Shepherd of thy people, hear, Thy presence now display; As thou hast given a place for prayer, So give us hearts to pray. 2 Within these walls let holy peace, And love, and concord dwell; Here give the troubled conscience ease, The wounded spirit heal. 3 Shew us some token of thy love, Our fainting hope to raise; And pour thy blessings from above That we may render praise. 4 And may the Gospel’s joyful sound Enforc'd by mighty grace, Awaken many sinners round, To come and fill the place.

Physician

Author: Steele Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XIX (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Deep are the wounds which sin has made Lyrics: 1 Deep are the wounds which sin hath made Where shall the sinner find a cure? In vain, alas, is nature's aid, The work exceeds all nature's power. 2 Sin, like a raging fever reigns, With fatal strength in every part; The dire contagion fills the veins, And spreads its poison to the heart. 3 And can no sovereign balm be found? And is no kind physician nigh To ease the pain, and heal the wound, Ere life and hope for ever fly? 4 There is a great physician near, Look up, O fainting soul, and live; See, in his heavenly smiles appear Such ease as nature cannot give! 5 See in the Saviour's dying blood Life, health, and bliss, abundant flow! 'Tis only this dear sacred flood Can ease thy pain and heal thy woe. Topics: Son Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22 Languages: English

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

O may our grateful hearts adore The matchless grace, nor yield to sin, Nor wear its cruel fetters more! 6 Dear Saviour, let thy love persue The glorious work it has begun; Each secret lurking foe subdue, And let our hearts be thine alone.

Whom Angel-hosts adore; Who yet to suppliant dust art nigh, Thy presence I implore. 2 O guide me down the steep of age, And keep my passions cool; Teach me to scan the sacred page, And practice every rule. 3 My flying years time urges on, What's human must decay; My friends, my young companions gone, Can I expect to stay? 4 Can I exemption plead, when death Projects his awful dart? Can med'cines then prolong my breath, Or virtue shield my heart? 5 Ah! no—then smooth the mortal hour, On thee my hope depends, Support me with Almighty power, While dust to dust descends. 6 Then shall my soul, O gracious God! (While angels join the lay;) Admitted to the bless'd abode, Its endless Anthems pay. 7 Thro' Heaven, howe'er remote the bound, Thy matchless love proclaim, And join the choir of saints that sound Their great Redeemer's name.

GOD exalted above all Praise

Author: Watts Hymnal: CoEH1793 #I (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Eternal Power,!whose high abode Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God; Infinite length, beyond the bounds Where stars revolve their little rounds. 2 The lowest step above thy seat Rises too high for Gabriel's feet; In vain the tall Arch-angel tries To reach the height with wondering eyes. 3 Lord, what shall earth and ashes do? We would adore our Maker too; From sin and dust to thee we cry, The Great, the Holy, and the High! 4 Earth, from afar, has heard thy fame, And worms have learn'd to lisp thy name, But O, the glories of thy mind, Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 5 God is in Heaven, but men below; Be short our tunes; our words be few. A sacred reverence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues. Topics: God Languages: English

Well may thy praise our lips employ, While in thy temple we appear, To hail thee Sovereign of the year. 2 Wide as the wheels of nature roll, Thy hand supports and guides the whole; The sun is taught by thee to rise, And darkness when to veil the skies. 3 The flowery spring at thy command, Perfumes the air and paints the land; The summer rays with vigour shine To raise the corn and cheer the vine. 4 Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours Thro' all our coasts redundant stores; While winter, soften'd by thy care, No more the face of horror wears. 5 Seasons, and months, and weeks, and days Demand successive songs of praise; And be the grateful homage paid, With morning light, and evening shade. 6 Here in thy house let incense rise, And circling Sabbaths bless our eyes, 'Till to those lofty heights we soar, Where days and years revolve no more.

Author: Davies Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XLIII (1793) First Line: Eternal Spirit, Source of light Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit, source of light, Enlivening, consecrating fire, Descend and with celestial heat Our dull, our frozen hearts inspire: Our souls refine, our dross consume! Come, condescending Spirit, come! 2 In our cold breasts, O strike a spark Of the pure flame, which seraphs feel, Nor let us wander in the dark, Or lie benumb'd and stupid still: Come, vivifying Spirit, come, And make our hearts thy constant home! 3 Whatever guilt and madness dare, We would not quench the heavenly fire; Our hearts as fuel we prepare, Though in the flame we should expire: Our breasts expand to make thee room: Come, purifying Spirit, come! 4 Let pure devotion's fervors rise! Let every pious passion glow! O let the raptures of the skies Kindle in our cold hearts below! Come, condescending Spirit, come, And make our souls thy constant home!
