Hymn 35 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.35.2 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Let those who bear the Christian name Lyrics:
Let those who bear the Christian name
Their holy vows fulfil;
The saints, the followers of the Lamb,
Are men of honor still.
True to the solemn oaths they take,
Though to their hurt they swear;
Constant and just to all they speak,
For God and angels hear.
Still with their lips their hearts agree,
Nor flatt'ring words devise;
They know the God of truth can see
Through every false disguise.
They hate th' appearance of a lie
In all the shapes it wears;
They live in truth, and when they die,
Eternal life is theirs.
While hypocrites and liars fly
Before the Judge's frown,
His faithful friends, who fear a lie,
Receive th' immortal crown.

Hymn 35 Part 2
Hymn 36
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.36 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O 'tis a lovely thing to see Lyrics:
O 'tis a lovely thing to see
A man of prudent heart,
Whose thoughts, and lips, and life agree
To act a useful part.
When envy, strife, and wars begin
In little angry souls,
Mark how the sons of peace come in,
And quench the kindling coals.
Their minds are humble, mild, and meek,
Nor let their fury rise;
Nor passion moves their lips to speak,
Nor pride exalts their eyes.
Their frame is prudence mixed with love,
Good works fulfil their day;
They join the serpent with the dove,
But cast the sting away.
Such was the Savior of mankind,
Such pleasures he pursued;
His flesh and blood were all refined,
His soul divinely good.
Lord, can these plants of virtue grow
In such a heart as mine?
Thy grace my nature can renew,
And make my soul like thine.

Hymn 36
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #II.36 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Well, the Redeemer's gone Lyrics:
Well, the Redeemer's gone
T' appear before our God;
To sprinkle o'er the flaming throne
With his atoning blood.
No fiery vengeance now,
Nor burning wrath comes down
If justice calls for sinners' blood,
The Savior shows his own.
Before his Father's eye
Our humble suit he moves;
The Father lays his thunder by,
And looks, and smiles, and loves.
Now may our joyful tongues
Our Maker's honor sing;
Jesus the Priest receives our songs,
And bears them to the King.
[We bow before his face,
And sound his glories high:
"Hosannah to the God of grace,
That lays his thunder by.]
"On earth thy mercy reigns,
And triumphs all above:"
But, Lord, how weak are mortal strains
To speak immortal love!
[How jarring and how low
Are all the notes we sing
Sweet Savior, tune our songs anew,
And they shall please the King.]

Hymn 37
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #II.37 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Lift up your eyes to th' heav'nly seats Lyrics:
Lift up your eyes to th' heav'nly seats
Where your Redeemer stays;
Kind Intercessor, there he sits,
And loves, and pleads, and prays.
'Twas well, my soul, he died for thee,
And shed his vital blood;
Appeased stern justice on the tree,
And then arose to God.
Petitions now, and praise may rise,
And saints their off'rings bring;
The Priest, with his own sacrifice,
Presents them to the King.
[Let papists trust what names they please,
Their saints and angels boast;
We've no such advocates as these,
Nor pray to th' heav'nly host.]
Jesus alone shall bear my cries
Up to his Father's throne;
He, dearest Lord! perfumes my sighs,
And sweetens every groan.
[Ten thousand praises to the King,
"Hosannah in the highest!"
Ten thousand thanks our spirits bring
To God and to his Christ.]

Hymn 37
Hymn 37 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.37.1 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: The mighty frame of glorious grace Lyrics:
The mighty frame of glorious grace,
That brightest monument of praise
That e'er the God of love designed,
Employs and fills my lab'ring mind.
Begin, my soul, the heav'nly song,
A burden for an angel's tongue:
When Gabriel sounds these awful things,
He tunes and summons all his stungs.
Proclaim inimitable love:
Jesus, the Lord of worlds above,
Puts off the beams of bright array,
And veils the God in mortal clay!
What black reproach defiled his name,
When with our sins he took our shame!
He whom adoring angels blessed
Is made the impious rebel's jest.
He that distributes crowns and thrones
Hangs on a tree, and bleeds, and groans!
The Prince of Life resigns his breath,
The King of Glory bows to death!
But see the wonders of his power,
He triumphs in his dying hour;
And while by Satan's rage he fell,
He dashed the rising hopes of hell.
Thus were the hosts of death subdued,
And sin was drowned in Jesus' blood;
Thus he arose, and reigns above,
And conquers sinners by his love.
Who shall fulfil this boundless song?
The theme surmounts an angel's tongue:
How low, how vain are mortal airs,
When Gabriel's nobler harp despairs!

Hymn 37 Part 1
Hymn 37 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.37.2 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Do I believe what Jesus saith Lyrics:
Do I believe what Jesus saith,
And think his gospel true?
Lord, make me bold to own my faith,
And practise virtue too.
Suppress my shame, subdue my fear,
Arm me with heav'nly zeal,
That I may make thy power appear,
And works of praise fulfil.
If men shall see my virtue shine,
And spread my name abroad,
Thine is the power, the praise is thine,
My Savior and my God!
Thus when the saints in glory meet,
Their lips proclaim thy grace;
They cast their honors at thy feet,
And own their borrowed rays.
Are we the soldiers of the cross?
The followers of the Lamb?
And shall we fear to own his cause,
Or blush to speak his name?
Now must we fight if we would reign
Increase our courage, Lord
We'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by thy word.
Thy saints in all this glorions war
Shall conquer, though they're slain;
They see the triumph from afar,
And shall with Jesus reign.
When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thy armies shine
In robes of vict'ry through the skies,
The glory shall be thine.
Scripture: Matthew 5:16 Languages: English
Hymn 37 Part 2
Hymn 38
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #II.38 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Happy the heart where graces reign Lyrics:
Happy the heart where graces reign,
Where love inspires the breast;
Love is the brightest of the train,
And strengthens all the rest.
Knowledge, alas! 'tis all in vain,
And all in vain our fear;
Our stubborn sins will fight and reign,
If love be absent there.
'Tis love that makes our cheerful feet
In swift obedience move;
The devils know and tremble too,
But Satan cannot love.
This is the grace that lives and sings
When faith and hope shall cease;
'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings
In the sweet, realms of bliss.
Before we quite forsake our clay,
Or leave this dark abode,
The wings of love bear us away
To see our smiling God.

Hymn 38
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #III.38 (1806) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 First Line: I give immortal praise Lyrics:
I give immortal praise
To God the Father's love,
For all my comforts here,
And better hopes above:
He sent his own
Eternal Son
To die for sins
That man had done.
To God the Son belongs
Immortal glory too,
Who bought us with his blood
From everlasting woe:
And now he lives,
And now he reigns,
And sees the fruit
Of all his pains.
To God the Spirit's name
Immortal worship give,
Whose new-creating power
Makes the dead sinner live:
His work completes
The great design,
And fills the soul
With joy divine.
Almighty God! to thee
Be endless honors done,
The undivided Three,
And the mysterious One:
Where reason fails
With all her powers,
There faith prevails
And love adores.
