The wounded spirit heal.

Our fainting hope to raise;
And pour thy blessings from above
That we may render praise.

Enforc'd by mighty grace,
Awaken many sinners round,
To come and fill the place.

Before thy pierced feet to bow;
To praise thy wounds, thy blood and sweat,
Thro' which eternal love did flow.
2 Thou art with us where e'er we meet;
Nor wilt thou leave us holy Lamb:
We find a calm, a blest retreat
Beneath the cov'ring of thy name.
3 Great mercies thou to us hast shewn,
Since first we knew that we were thine:
Since first thou mark'd us for thy own,
With grace and righteousness divine.
4 Seal'd for thine own we surely are;
Thy spirit, Lord, our witness is:
Nor can we fall from Jesus far,
For he is love and tenderness.
5 There's none can pluck us from his hand,
Inclos'd by grace on ev'ry side;
His oath, his promise firmly stand,
We ever shall with him abide!
6 He never will himself deny;
Nor could he die for man in vain:
How then shall God in wrath destroy,
The S]souls for whom the Lamb was slain.
7 The countless price he paid for us,
Exempts us from the iron rod:
His life, his death, his blood and cross,
Hath reconcil'd us all to God.

When ev'ry soul this grace shall prove. Scripture: Hebrews 10:25 Languages: English

Let earth and skies reply;

Who all our sorrows bore;
Sing aloud evermore,
Worthy the Lamb.

Bore sin's tremendous load,
Praise ye his name:
Tell what his arm hath done,
What spoils from Death he won;
Sing his great name alone;
Worthy the Lamb.

Cheerfully join in one,
Praising his name:
These who have felt his blood
Sealing their peace with God,
Sound his dear fame abroad,
Worthy the Lamb.

Our holy Lord to bless;
Praise ye his name:
In him we will rejoice,
And make a joyful noise,
Shouting with heart and voice,
Worthy the Lamb.

Yet we shall never cease
Praising his name:
To him our songs we bring,
Hail him, our gracious King,
And without ceasing sing,
Worthy the Lamb.

In realms of endless love,
Praise his dear name:
To him ascribed be
Honour and majesty,
Thro' all Eternity:

Which guards our synagogues in peace;
Nor dare tumultuous foes invade,
To fill the worshippers with dread.

Long may they echo to thy praise:
And thou, descending, fill the place
With choicest tokens of thy grace.
3 Here let the great Redeemer reign
With all the graces of his train;
While power divine his word attends,
To conquer foes, and cheer his friends.
4 And in the great decisive day,
Then God the nations shall survey;
May it before the world appear
That crowds were born to glory here.

He that hath made his refuge God
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.XCI.I (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Safety in Public Diseases and Danger Lyrics: 1 He that hath made his refuge God,
Shall find a most secure abode;
Shall walk all day beneath his shade,
And there at night shall rest his head.
2 Then will I say, "My God, thy pow'r
Shall be my fortress and my tow'r;
I that am form'ed of feeble dust
Make thine almighty arm my trust."
3 Thrice happy man! thy Maker’s care
Shall keep thee from the fowler’s snare;
From Satan's wiles, who still betrays
Unguarded souls a thousand ways.
4 Just as a hen protects her brood,
From birds of prey that seek their blood,
The Lord his faithful saints shall guard
And endless life he their reward.
5 If burning beams of noon conspire
To dart a pestilential fire,
God is their life, his wings are spread
To shield them with a healthful shade.
6 If vapours with malignant breath
Rise thick, and scatter midnight death,
Isra'l is safe: the poison'd air
Grows pure, if Isra'l’s God be there.
7 What tho' a thousand at thy side,
Around thy path ten thousand died,
Thy God his chosen people saves
Amongst the dead, amidst the graves.
8 So when he sent his angel down
To make his wrath in Egypt known,
And slew their sons, his careful eye
Passed all the doors of Jacob by.
9 But if the fire, or plague, or sword,
Receive commission from the Lord,
To strike his saints among the rest,
Their very pains and deaths are blest.
10 The sword, the pestilence, or fire,
Shall but fulfil their best desire;
From sins and sorrows set them free
And bring thy children, Lord, to thee. Scripture: Psalm 91:1-10 Languages: English
He that hath made his refuge God
Here, blessed Jesus, we appear!
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #I (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Beginning of Public Worship Lyrics: 1 Here, blessed Jesus, we appear!
Thy sacred word of truth to hear;
Draw from this world our minds to thee,
And faithful hearers we shall be.
2 How wretched is our state of mind!
Our hearts how stupid, deaf and blind;
the way of life we do not know
Nor have we pow'r therein to go.
3 Thy grace to us, dear Lord afford,
To hear and understand thy word!
Lo, here we wait for grace divine,
Till eery heart be truly thine.
4 Without thy grace we hear in vain,
In doubts and darkness we remain,
Till thou art pleas'd that light to give,
That light in which our souls may live.
5 We pray thee Lord, to us draw near;
Our feeble prayer and praises hear--
According to thy promise Lord!
We wait thy spirit with the word.

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXLI (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Worship Public Worship; Public Religion First Line: How charming is the place Lyrics: 1 How charming is the place
Where my Redeemer God,
Unveils the beauties of his face,
And sheds his love abroad!
2 Not the fair palaces
To which the great resort
Are once to be compar'd with this,
Where Jesus holds his court.
3 Here on the mercy-seat,
With radiant glory crown'd,
Our joyful eyes behold him sit,
And smile on all around.
4 To him their prayers and cries
Each humble soul presents;
He listens to their broken sighs,
And grants them all their wants.
5 To them his sovereign will
He graciously imparts:
And in return accepts with smiles,
The tribute of their hearts.
6 Give me, O Lord, a place
Within thy blest abode,
Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God. Languages: English

Our nearest relation,
And faithfulest friend. Scripture: Romans 10:14-15 Languages: English
