Where shall the tribes of Adam find
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Where shall the tribes of Adam find
The sovereign good to fill the mind?
Ye sons of moral wisdom, show
The spring whence living waters flow.
2 Say, will the stoic's flinty heart
Melt, and this cordial juice impart?
Could Plato find these blissful streams,
Amongst his raptures and his dreams?
3 In vain I ask--for nature's power
Extends but to this mortal hour:
'Twas but a poor relief she gave
Against the terrors of the grave.
4 Jesus, our kinsman, and our God,
Array'd in majesty and blood,
Thou art our life! our souls in thee
Possess a full felicity!
5 All our immortal hopes are laid,
In thee our surety and our head;
Thy cross, thy cradle, and thy throne,
Are big with glories yet unknown.
6 Here let my soul for ever lie,
Beneath the blessings of thine eye;
'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above,
To see thy face, to taste thy love.
Where shall the tribes of Adam find
Mortals, awake! with angels join

Mortals, awake! with angels join
O that I had a seraph's fire
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 O that I had a seraph's fire,
His rapt'rous song and golden lyre,
To chant the love and grace supreme,
Reveal'd as in the gospel scheme.
2 Here's pardon full, for sins that's past--
It matters not how black their cast;
And, O my soul, with wonder view,
For sins to come, here's pardon too.
3 When Jesus died, our debts were paid,
Our sins laid on this Scape-Goat's head;
Were to the trackless desert drove,
And buried in eternal love.
4 In this abyss of love profound,
When sought for they shall not be found;
Hid from Jehovah's piercing eye,
There in oblivion's shades, they lie.
Scripture: Leviticus 16:9
O that I had a seraph's fire
Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 479 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair
We wretched sinners lay,
Without one cheerful beam of hope,
Or spark of glimmering day.
2 With pitying eyes, the Prince of Grace
Beheld our helpless grief,
He saw, and (O amazing love!)
He ran to our relief.
3 Down from the shining seats above
With joyful haste he fled,
Enter'd the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.
4 He spoil'd the powers of darkness thus,
And brake our iron chains;
Jesus has freed our captive souls
From everlasting pains.
5 In vain the baffled prince of hell
His cursed projects tries,
We that were doom'd his endless slaves
Are rais'd above the skies.
6 O for this love, let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
The Saviour's praises speak.
7 Angels, assist our mighty joys,
Strike all your harps of gold;
But when you raise your highest notes
His love can ne'er be told.
Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair
To our Redeemer's glorious name
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 359 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love 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 high,
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 died 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.
To our Redeemer's glorious name
Lord, when my Tho'ts with Wonder roll
Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Peace of Conscience; Praise imperfect on Earth; Praise to teh Redeemer; Praise to the Redeemer; Longing to praise Christ better Lyrics: 1 Lord, when my Tho'ts with Wonder roll
O'er the sharp Sorrows of thy Soul;
And read my Maker's broken Laws,
Repair'd and honour'd by thy Cross:
2 When I behold Death, Hell, and Sin,
Vanquish'd by that dear Blood of thine,
And see the Man that groan'd and dy'd
Sit glorious by his Father's Side:
3 My Passions rise and soar above,
I'm wing'd with Faith, and fir'd with Love;
Fain would I reach eternal Things,
And learn the Notes that Gabriel sings.
4 But my Heart fails, my Tongue complains,
For Want of their immortal Strains;
And in such humble Notes as these
Must fall below thy Victories.
5 Well, the kind Minute must appear,
When we shall leave these Bodies here;
These Clogs of Clay, and mount on high,
To join the Songs above the Sky.
Lord, when my Tho'ts with Wonder roll
Sing we the song of those who stand

The Redeemer's message
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 820 hymnals Topics: The Life and Ministry of Christ; Message of the redeemer First Line: Hark, the glad sound, the Savior comes Lyrics: 1 Hark, the glad sound, the Savior comes
The Savior promis'd long!
Let every heart a prepare a throne,
And every voice a song!
2 On him, the spirit, largely pour'd,
Exerts his sacred fire;
Wisdom and might, and zeal and love,
His holy breast inspire.
3 He comes the prisoners to release,
In Satan's bondage held,
The gates of brass before him burst,
The iron fetters yield.
4 He comes, from thickest clouds of vice
To clear the mental ray'
And on the eyes opprest with night,
To pour celestial day.
5 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure;
And, with the treasures of his grace,
T' inrich the humble poor.
6 Our glad Hosannas, prince of peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim:
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With thy beloved name. Scripture: Luke 4:18-19

Merits everlasting pain;
But Thy love without beginning,
Has redeem'd the world again:
Countless millions
Shall in life, through Jesus reign.
2 Pause, my soul, adore and wonder:
Ask, "Oh, why such love to me?"
Grace hath put me in the number
Of the Saviour's family:
Hallelujah!
Thanks, eternal thanks to Thee!
3 Since that love had no beginning,
And shall never, never cease;
Keep, oh, keep me, Lord, from sinning;
Guide me in the way of peace:
Make me walk in
All the paths of holiness.
4 When I quit this feeble mansion,
And my soul returns to Thee,
Let the power of thy ascension
Manifest itself in me;
Through Thy Spirit,
Give the final victory.
5 When the angel sounds the trumpet;
When my soul and body join;
When my Saviour comes to judgment,
Bright in majesty divine,
Let me triumph
In Thy righeousness as mine.
Every fallen soul, by sinning
Let all be one in mind and heart
