Awake, my soul, stretch e'ery nerve

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, stretch ev'ry nerve, And press with vigour on; An heavenly race demands thy zeal, And an immortal crown. 2 A cloud of witnesses around Hold thee in full survey; Forget the steps already trod, And onward urge thy way. 3 'Tis God's all-animating voice Which calls thee from on high: 'Tis hos own hand presents the prize To thine aspiring eye. 4 My soul, with sacred ardour fix'd, The glorious prize pursue; And meet with joy the high command To bid this earth adieu.

Awake, our souls! away, our fears!

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XCIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls! away, our fears! Let ev'ry trembling thought be gone! Awake and run the heav'nly race, And put a cheerful courage on! 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God, That feeds the strength of every saint: 3 The mighty God, whose matchless pow'r, Is ever new and ever young; And firm endures, while endless years Their everlasting circles run. 4 From him, the overflowing spring, Our souls shall drink a large supply; While such as seek refreshing draughts From mortal streams, shall droop and die. 5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air, We'll mount aloft to his abode; On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire amidst the heavenly road.

Be thou exalted, O my God

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XLVII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Be thou exalted, O my God, Above the heav'ns where angels dwell; Thy pow'r on earth be known abroad, And land to land thy wonders tell. 2 My heart is fix'd; my tongue shall raise Immortal honours to thy name; Awake, my tongue, to sound his praise — My tongue, the glory of my frame. 3 In thee, my God, are all the springs Of boundless love, and grace unknown; All the rich blessings Nature brings Are gifts descending from thy throne. 4 High o'er the earth thy goodness reigns, and reaches to the utmost sky; Thy truth to endless years remains, When lower worlds dissolve and die. 5 Be thou exalted, O my God, Above the heav'ns, where angels dwell; Thy pow'r on earth be known abroad, And land to land thy wonders tell.

Before Jehovah's awful throne

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #IV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations, bow, with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and he destroy. 2 His sov'reign pow'r without our aid, Made us of clay, and form'd us men; And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd, He brought us to his fold again. 3 Wide as the world is thy command; Vast as eternity thy love! Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move. 4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heav'ns our voices raise, And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.

Before the awful throne we bow

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #LXVI (1789) Lyrics: 1 Before the awful throne we bow Of heav'ns Eternal King; To him present the solemn vow, And hymns of praises sing. 2 How weak, great God, our nobles songs To magnify thy ways! Nor human nor angelick tongues Can shew forth all thy praise. 3 Yet be it now our chief delight Our feeble notes to join, Until with angels we unite In anthems more divine. 4 Nor from thy presence cast away The off'ring that we bring; Lord! teach our hearts aright to pray, And tune our lips to sing.

Behold the Lamb of God

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXLVI (1789) Lyrics: 1 Behold the Lamb of God! The holy Baptist cries; Whilst joy inspir'd his pious breast, And sparkled in his eyes. 2 Let us behold the Lamb; In him no spot we see; How patient, gentle, meek and mild! From guile, from error free. 3 See Jesus, like a lamb Led to the sacrifice; And silent as the sheep which dumb Before his shearer lies 4 Behold this spotless Lamb! And mark the path he trod! That blessed road will surely lead To happiness and God. Topics: The Communion Behold the Lamb of God Languages: English

Behold the morning sun

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #LV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Behold, the morning sun Begins his glorious way; His beams thro' all the nations run, And life and light convey. 2 But where the gospel comes, It spreads diviner light; It calls dead sinners from their tombs, And gives the blind their sight. 3 How perfect is thy word, And all thy judgments just, Forever sure thy promise, Lord, Which we securely trust. 4 My gracious God, how plain Are thy directions giv'n! Oh, may I never read in vain, But find the path to heav'n. 5 While with our heart and tongue We spread thy praise abroad, Accept the worship and the song, Our Father and our God!

Behold the path which mortals tread

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXXXVIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Behold the path which mortals tread Down to the regions of the dead! Nor will the fleeting moments stay, Nor can we measure back our way. 2 From vital air, from cheerful light, To the cold grave's perpetual night; From scenes of duty, means of grace, Must I to God's tribunal pass. 3 Awake, my soul! thy way prepare, And lose in this each mortal care; With steady feet that path be trod, Which, thro' the grave, conducts to God. 4 Then shall I smile secure from fear, Tho' death should blast the rising year; And joy to meet the blissful shore, From whence I shall return no more.

Behold where, breathing love divine

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXXIV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Behold where, breathing love divine, Our dying Master stands! His weeping followers, gathering round, Receive his last commands. 2 From that mild Teacher's parting lips What tender accents fell! The gentle precept which he gave Became its Author well. 3 Blest is the man, whose soft'ning heart Feels all another's pain; To whom the supplicating eye Was never rais'd in vain: 4 Whose breast expands with generous warmth, A stranger's woe to feel; And bleeds in pity o'er the wound He wants the power to heal. 5 To gentle offices of love His feet are never slow; He views, thro' mercy's melting eye, A brother in a foe. 6 To him protection shall be shewn, And mercy from above Descend on those who thus fulfil The perfect law of love.

Beyond expression blest is he

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXXIX (1789) Lyrics: 1 Beyond expression blest is he Whose num'rous sins are cover'd o'er; The humble soul, to whom the Lord Imputes his guilty deeds no more. 2 He mourns his sinful follies past, And keeps his heart with constant care; His lips and life, without deceit, Shall prove his penitence sincere. 3 The man, who hides his conscious guilt, Shall pine beneath a secret wound; But he, who owns and leaves his faults, With peace and pardon shall be crown'd. 4 The Lord hath built a throne of grace, Free to dispense his mercies there, That sinners may approach his face, And hope and love, as well as fear.
