Youth

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CLXXXVI (1793) First Line: Lure' by the fading joys of time Lyrics: 1 Lur'd by the fading joys of time, To run in Folly's ways; Urg'd by gay youth in all its prime, And grasping future days: 2 Attend the whisper of a friend, O lend a serious ear! Soon will the flatt'ring vision end, Nor can the prospect cheer. 3 Would'st thou unmingl'd pleasres prove, Or lasting joys embrace, Turn at the voice of heav'nly love, And seek the Saviour's face. 4 Life and immortal comforts wait The soul that knows his word; And they who enter Wisdom's gate, Find favour with the Lord. 5 Riches and righteousness are theirs For ever to enjoy; His love forbids their anxious cares, His praise is their employ. 6 Nor only in this world of woe Are these enjoyments giv'n; For those who walk with Christ below, Shall regin with him in heav'n. 7 A gracious Lord thy soul invites, His tender accents hear; So shalt thou share his pure delights, And triumph o'er thy fear.

The Books opened

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXCVIII (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Methinks the last great day is come Lyrics: 1 Methinks the last great day is come, Methinks I hear the trumpet sound That shakes the earth, rends every tomb, And wakes the prisoners under ground. 2 The mighty deep gives up her trust, Aw'd by the Judge's high command; Both small and great now quit their dust, And round the dread tribunal stand. 3 Behold the awful books display'd, Big with th' important fates of men; Each deed and word now public made, As wrote by heaven's unerring pen. 4 To every soul, the books assign The joyous or the dread reward: Sinners in vain lament and pine, No pleas the Judge will here regard. 5 Lord, when these awful leaves unfold, May life's fair book my soul approve; There may I read my name enroll'd, And triumph in redeeming love.

Praise to the Redeemer

Author: Robinson Hymnal: CoEH1793 #IX (1793) First Line: Mighty Lord, while angels bless thee Lyrics: 1 Mighty God, while angels bless thee, May an infant lisp thy name? Lord of men as well as angels, Thou art every creature’s theme. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. 2 Lord of every land and nation, Ancient of eternal days; Sounded through the wide creation Be thy just and lawful praise. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. 3 For the grandeur of thy nature, Grand beyond a seraph’s thought, For created works of power, Works with skill and kindness wrought. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. 4 For thy providence that governs Thro' thine empire's wide domain; Wings an angel, guides a sparrow, Blessed be thy gentle reign. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. 5 But thy rich, thy free redemption, Dark thro' brightness all along; Thought is poor, and poor expression, Who dare sing that awful song? Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. 6 Brightness of the father’s glory, Shall thy praise unutter'd lie? Fly my tongue such guilty silence! Sing the Lord who came to die. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. 7 Did Arch-angels sing thy coming? Did the shepherds learn their lays? Shame would cover me ungrateful, Should my tongue refuse to praise. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. 8 From the highest throne in glory, To the cross of deepest woe; All to ransom guilty captives, Flow my praise, for ever flow. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. 9 Go return immortal Saviour, Leave thy footstool, take thy throne; Thence return, and reign for ever, Be the kingdom all thine own. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. Topics: Son Languages: English

Redeemer, brother, friend! Tho' earth, and time, and life should fail, Thy praise shall never end. Topics: Son Scripture: Luke 2:14 Languages: English

With wonder I adore; But could I sing as angels do, My highest praise were poor. Topics: The Sensible Sinner Scripture: Matthew 9:2 Languages: English

Confession

Author: Watts Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LXIII (1793) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: My sorrows like a flood Lyrics: 1 My sorrows like a flood, Impatient of restraint, Into thy bosom, O my God! Pour out a long complaint. 2 This impious heart of mine Could once defy the Lord, Could rush with violence on to sin, In presence of thy sword. 3 How often have I stood A rebel to the skies, And yet, and yet, O matchless grace! Thy thunder silent lies. 4 O shall I never feel The meltings of thy love? Am I of such hell-harden'd steel, That mercy cannot move? 5 O'ercome by dying love I fall; Here at thy cross I lie: And throw my flesh, my soul, my all, And weep, and love, and die.

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXIX (1793) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: My soul, with joy attend Lyrics: 1 My soul, with joy attend, While Jesus silence breaks; No angel’s harp such music yields, As what my shepherd speaks. 2 "I know my sheep," he cries, "My soul approves them well: "Vain is the treacherous world’s disguise, "And vain the rage of hell. 3 "I freely feed them now "With tokens of my love, "But richer pastures I prepare, "And sweeter streams above. 4 "Unnumber'd years of bliss "I to my sheep will give; "And, while my throne unshaken stands, "Shall all my chosen live. 5 "This tried almighty hand "Is rais'd for their defence: "Where is the power shall reach them there? "Or what shall force them thence?" 6 Enough, my gracious Lord, Let faith triumphant cry; My heart can on this promise live, Can on this promise die. Topics: The Christian Life Languages: English

Helpless Man

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CIV (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, of all things here? 'Tis but a bitter sweet; When I attempt a rose to pluck, 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.
