Exhortations to Peace and Holiness

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #62 (1740) Topics: Tongue governed First Line: Come, Children, learn to fear the Lord Lyrics: 1 Come, Children, learn to fear the Lord And that your Days be long, Let not a false or spiteful Word Be found upon your Tongue. 2 Depart from Mischief, practise Love, Pursue the Works of Peace; So shall the Lord your Ways approve, And set your Souls at Ease. 3 His Eyes awake to guard the Just, His Ears attend their Cry; When broken Spirits dwell in Dust, The GOD of Grace is nigh. 4 What tho' the Sorrows here they taste Are sharp and tedious too, The Lord who saves them all at last, Is their Supporter now. 5 Evil shall smite the Wicked dead; But GOD secures his own, Prevents the Mischief when they slide, Or heals the broken Bone. 6 When Desolation, like a Flood, O'er the proud Sinner rolls, Saints find a Refuge in their God, For he redeem'd their Souls. Scripture: Psalm 34:11-22 Languages: English

In Moses' Hand he puts his Rod, And cleaves the frighted Seas. 4 He made the ebbing Channel dry, While Isr'el pass'd the Flood; There did the Church begin their Joy, And triumph in their GOD.] 5 He rules by his resistless Might: Will Rebel Mortals dare Provoke th' Eternal to the Fight, And tempt that dreadful War? 6 O bless our GOD, and never cease; Ye Saints, fulfil his Praise; He keeps our Life, maintains our Peace, And guides our doubtful Ways. 7 Lord, thou hast prov'd our suff'ring Souls, To make our Graces shine; So Silver bears the burning Coals, The Metal to refine. 8 Thro' watry Deeps, and fi'ry Ways, We march at thy Command, Led to possess the promis'd Place By thine unerring Hand.

The Vanity of Man as mortal

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #72a (1740) Topics: Tongue governed First Line: Teach me the Measure of my Days Lyrics: 1 Teach me the Measure of my Days, Thou Maker of my Frame; I would survey Life's narrow Space, And learn how frail I am. 2 A Span is all that we can boast, An Inch or two of Time; Man is but Vanity and Dust In all his Flow'r and Prime. 3 See the vain Race of Mortals move Like Shadows o'er the Plain; They rage and strive, desire and love, But all the Noise is vain. 4 Some walk in Honour's gaudy Show, Some dig for golden Ore, They toil for Heirs they know not who, And strait are seen no more. 5 What should I wish or wait for then From Creatures, Earth and Dust? They make our Expectations vain, And disappoint our Trust. 6 Now I forbid my carnal Hope, My fond Desires recal; I give my mortal Int'rest up, And make my GOD my All. Scripture: Psalm 39:4-7 Languages: English

Sick-bed Devotion or, Pleading without Repining

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #72b (1740) Topics: Tongue governed First Line: God of my Life, look gently down Lyrics: 1 God of my Life look gently down, Behold the Pains I feel. But I am dumb before thy Throne, Nor dare dispute thy Will. 2 Diseases are thy Servants, Lord, They come at thy Command; I'll not attempt a murm'ring Word, Against thy chast'ning Hand. 3 Yet I may plead with humble Cries, Remove thy sharp Rebukes; My Strength consumes, my Spirit dies, Through thy repeated Strokes. 4 Crush'd as a Moth beneath thy Hand, We moulder to the Dust; Our feeble Pow'rs can ne'er withstand, And all our Beauty's lost. 5 [This mortal Life decays apace, How soon the Bubble's broke! Adam and all his num'rous Race Are Vanity and Smoke.] 6 I'm but a Sojourner below, As all my Fathers were; May I be well prepar'd to go, When I the Summons hear! 7 But if my Life be spar'd a while, Before my last Remove, Thy Praise shall be my Business still, And I'll declare thy Love. Scripture: Psalm 39:9-13 Languages: English

The Lord, how fearful is his name!

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #72 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Divine Providence and Government Lyrics: 1 The Lord, how fearful is his name! How wide is his command! Nature, with all her moving frame, Rests on his mighty hand. 2 Immortal glory forms his throne, And light his awful robe; Whilst, with a smile or with a frown, He manages the globe. 3 Adoring angels round him fall, In all their shining forms, His Sov'reign eye looks thro' them all, And pities mortal worms. 4 His bowels to our worthless race In sweet compassion move; He clothes his looks with softest grace, And takes his title, love. 5 Now, let the Lord for ever reign, And sway us as he will, Sick, or in health, in ease, or pain We are his fav'rites still. 6 No more shall peevish passion rise; The tongue no more complain; 'Tis Sov'reign Love that lends our joys, And love resumes again.

Ye subjects of the Lord, proclaim

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #73 (1814) Meter: Irregular Topics: Divine Providence and Government Lyrics: 1 Ye subjects of the Lord, proclaim The royal honours of his name, "Jehovah reigns," be all your song. 'Tis he, thy God, O Zion! reigns, Prepare thy most harmonious strains, Glad hallelujahs to prolong. 2 Ye princes, boast no more your crown, But lay the glitt'ring trifle down In lowly honour at his feet. A span your narrow empire bounds: He reigns beyond created rounds, In self-sufficient glory great. 3 Tremble, ye pageants of a day, Form'd, like your slaves, of brittle clay; Down to the dust your scepters bend. To everlasting years he reigns, And undiminish'd rule maintains, When kings, and suns, and time shall end. 4 So shall his favour'd Zion live; In vain confed'rate nations strive Her sacred turrets to destroy. Her sov'reign sits enthron'd above; And endless pow'r and endless love Insure her safety and her joy. Languages: English

The Lord of glory, reigns supremely great

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #74 (1814) Meter: Irregular Topics: Divine Providence and Government Lyrics: 1 The Lord of glory, reigns supremely great, And o'er heav'ns arches builds his royal seat. Thro' worlds unknown his sov'reign sway extends, Nor space, nor time, his boundless empire ends. His eye beholds th' affairs of ev'ry nation, And reads each though thro' his immense creation. 2 Lightning and storms his mighty word obey, And planets roll, where he has mark'd their way. Unnumber'd cherubs veil'd before him stand, And at his signal all their wings expand. His praise gives harmony to all their voices, And ev'ry heart thro' the full choir rejoices. 3 Rebellious mortals, cease your tumults vain, Nor longer such unequal war maintain. Let clay with fellow-clay in combat strive: But dread to brave the pow'r, by which you live. With contrite hearts fall prostrate, and adore him; For, if he frown, ye perish all before him.
