Chief among ten Thousand

Author: Stennett Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XL (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: To Christ, the Lord, let every tongue Lyrics: 1 To Christ, the Lord, let every tongue Its nobles tribute bring: When he's the subject of the song, Who can refuse to sing? 2 Survey the beauties of his face, And on his glories dwell, Think of the wonders of his grace, And all his triumphs tell. 3 Majestic sweetness sits enthron'd Upon his awful brow; His head with radiant glories crown'd, His lips with grace o'erflow. 4 No mortal can with him compare, Among the sons of men: Fairer he is than all the fair That fill the heavenly train. 5 He saw me plung'd in deep distress, He fled to my relief: For me he bore the shameful cross, And carried all my grief. 6 To Heaven the place of his abode He brings my weary feet; Shews me the glories of my God, And makes my joys complete. 7 Since from his beauty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be thine.

Praise to God for renewing Grace

Author: Stennett Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LXXIV (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: To God, my Saviour and my King Lyrics: 1 To God, my Saviour and my King, Fain would my soul her tribute bring; Join me, ye saints, in songs of praise, For ye have known and felt his grace. 2 Wretched and helpless once I lay, Just breathing all my life away; He saw me welt'ring in my blood, And felt the pity of a God. 3 With peed he fled to my relief, Bound up my wounds, and sooth'd my grief; Pour'd joys divine into my heart, And bade each anxious fear depart. 4 These proofs of love, my dearest Lord, Deep in my breast I will record: The life which I from thee receive, To thee, behold, I freely give. 5 My heart and tongue shall tune thy praise Thro' the remainder of my days: And when I join the powers above, My soul shall better sing thy love.

Praise to the Son of GOD

Author: Steele Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XLI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: To our Redeemer's glorious name Lyrics: 1 To our Redeemer's glorious name, Awake the sacred song! O may his love (immortal flame!) Tune every heart and tongue. 2 His love, what mortal thought can reach? What mortal tongue display? Imagination's utmost stretch In wonder dies away. 3 He left his radiant throne on hight, Left the bright realms of bliss, And came to earth to bleed and die! Was ever love like this! 4 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay Our humble thanks to thee, May every heart with rapture say, The Saviour dy'd for me. 5 O may the sweet, the blissful theme Fill every heart and tongue, Till strangers love thy charming name, And join the sacred song.

Self-Examination

Author: Davies Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CIX (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: What strange perplexities arise Lyrics: 1 What strange perplexities arise? What anxious fears and jealousies? What crowds in doubtful light appear? How few, alas, approv'd and clear! 2 And what am I?—My soul, awake, And an impartial survey take; Does no dark sign, no ground of fear, In practice or in heart appear? 3 What image does my spirit bear? Is Jesus form'd, and living there? Say, do his lineaments divine In thought, and word, and action shine! 4 Searcher of hearts, O search me still; The secrets of my soul reveal; My fears remove; let me appear To God and my own conscience clear. 5 Scatter the clouds, that o'er my head Thick glooms of dubious terrors spread; Lead me into celestial day, And, to myself, myself display. 6 May I at that bless'd world arrive, Where Christ thro' all my soul shall live, And give full proof that he is there, Without one gloomy doubt or fear.

The glorious Gospel

Author: Stennett Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LVIII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: What wisdom, majesty and grace Lyrics: 1 What wisdom, majesty, and grace Thro' all the gospel shine! 'Tis God that speaks, and we confess The doctrine most divine. 2 Down from his starry throne on high, Th' Almighty Saviour comes; Lays his bright robes of glory by, And feeble flesh assumes. 3 The mighty debt that sinners ow'd, Upon the cross he pays: Then thro' the clouds ascends to God, 'Midst shouts of loftiest praise. 4 There he our great High Priest appears Before his Father's throne; Mingles his merit with our tears, And pours salvation down. 5 Great God, with rev'rence we adore Thy justice and thy grace: And on thy faithfulness and power Our firm dependance place.

The Transfiguration

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XXIV (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When at this distance, Lord, we trace Lyrics: 1 When at this distance, Lord, we trace The various glories of thy face, What transport pours o'er all our breast, And charms our cares and woes to rest. 2 With thee in the obscurest cell On some bleak mountain would I dwell, Rather than pompous courts behold, And share their grandeur and their gold. 3 Away, ye dreams of mortal joy! Raptures divine my thoughts employ; I see the King of Glory shine; And feel his love, and call him mine. 4 On Tabor, thus his servants view'd His lustre, when transform'd he stood; And, bidding earthly scenes farewell, Cries, "Lord, 'tis pleasant here to dwell." 5 Yet still our elevated eyes To nobler visions long to rise; That grand assembly would we join, Where all thy saints around thee shine. 6 That mount how bright! those forms how fair! 'Tis good to dwell for ever there: Come, Death, dear Envoy of my God, And bear me to that blest abode. Topics: Son Scripture: Matthew 17:4 Languages: English

Return to Joy

Author: Cowper Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXIV (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When darkness long has veil'd my mind Lyrics: 1 When darkness long has veil'd my mind, And smiling day once more appears; Then, my Redeemer, then I find The folly of my doubts and fears. 2 I chide my unbelieving heart; And blush that I should ever be Thus prone to act so base a part, Or harbour one hard thought of thee! 3 O! let me then at length be taught (What I am still so slow to learn;) That God is love, and changes not, Nor knows the shadow of a turn. 4 Sweet truth, and easy to repeat! But when my faith is sharply try'd, I find myself a learner yet, Unskilful, weak, and apt to slide. 5 But, O my Lord, one look from thee Subdues the disobedient will; Drives doubt and discontent away, And thy rebellious worm is still. 6 Thou art as ready to forgive As I am ready to repine; Thou, therefore, all the praise receive; Be shame, and self-abhorrence, mine.

Victory over Death

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXCIV (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When death appears before my sight Lyrics: 1 When death appears before my sight In all his dire array, Unequal to the dreadful fight, My courage dies away. 2 But see my glorious leader nigh! My Lord, my Saviour, lives; Before him death's pale terrors fly, And my faint heart revives. 3 He left his dazzling throne above, He met the tyrant's dart, And (O, amazing power of love!) Receiv'd it in his heart. 4 No more, O grim destroyer, boast Thy universal sway; To heaven-born souls thy sting is lost, Thy night, the gates of gay. 5 Lord, I commit my soul to thee, Accept the sacred trust, Receive this nobler part of me, And watch my sleeping dust; 6 Till that illustrious morning come, when all thy saints shall rise, And, cloth'd in full immortal blood, Attend thee to the skies. 7 When thy triumphant armies sing The honours of thy name, And Heaven's eternal arches ring With glory to the Lamb; 8 O let me join the raptur'd lays, And, with the blissful throng, Resound salvation, power, and praise, In everlasting song.

Harmony of Divine Perfections in Man's Salvation

Author: Stennett Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LIV (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When first the God of boundless grace Lyrics: 1 When first the God of boundless grace Disclos'd his kind design, To rescue our apostate race From misery, shame and sin; 2 Quick, thro' the realms of light and bliss, The joyful tidings ran; Each heart exulted at the news, That God would dwell with man. 3 Yet 'midst their joys they paus'd awhile, And ask'd with strange surprise, "But how can injur'd justice smile, "Or look with pitying eyes?" 4 The Son of God attentive heard, And quickly thus reply'd: "In me let mercy be rever'd, "And justice satisfy'd. 5 "Behold! my vital blood I pour, "A sacrifice to God; "Let angry justice now no more "Demand the sinner's blood." 6 He spake, and heaven's high arches rung, With shouts and loud applause; "He dy'd," the friendly angels sung, Nor cease their rapturous joys.
