Blest are the humble souls, who see

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXXVII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Bless'd are the humble souls, who see Their emptiness and poverty; Treasures of grace to them are given, And crowns of joy laid up in heaven. 2 Bless'd are the men of broken heart, Who mourn for sin with inward smart; From heaven the streams of mercy flow, An healing balm for all their wo. 3 Bless'd are the men who thirst for grace, Hunger and long for righteousness; They shall be well supply'd and fed With living streams and living bread. 4 Bless'd are the men of peaceful life, Who quench the coals of growing strife; They shall be call'd the heirs of bliss, The sons of God, the God of peace. 5 Bless'd are the men whose bowels move And melt with sympathy and love; From God, their Lord, shall they obtain Like sympathy and love again. 6 Bless'd are the pure, whose hearts are clean From the defiling powers of sin; With endless pleasure shall they see A God of spotless purity. 7 Bless'd are the men who now partake Of shame and pain, for Jesus' sake; Their souls, exulting in the Lord, Shall share at last a just reward.

Can laughter feed the immortal mind

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXVI (1789) Lyrics: 1 Can laughter feed th' immortal mind? Were spirits of celestial kind Made for a jest, for sport and play, To wear out time, and waste the day? 2 Doth vain discourse, or empty mirth, Well suit the honours of their birth? Shall they be fond of gay attire, Which children love, and fools admire? 3 What if we wear the richest vest? Peacocks and flies are better drest; This flesh, with all its gaudy forms, Must drop to dust, and feed the worms. 4 Lord, raise our hearts and passions higher; Touch all our souls with sacred fire; Then, with a heaven-directed eye, We'll pass these glittering trifles by. 5 We'll look on all the toys below With such disdain as angels do; And wait the call that bids us rise To mansions promis'd in the skies.

Commit thou all thy ways

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XCVII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Commit thou all thy ways And griefs into his hands, To his sure trust and tender care Who heav'n and earth commands. 2 Who points the clouds their course, Whom winds and seas obey, He shall direct thy wand'ring feet, He shall prepare thy way. 3 No profit canst thou gain By self-consuming care, To Him commend thy cause, his ear Attends the softest prayer. 4 Give to the winds thy hears, Hope and be undismay'd; God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears, He will lift up thy head. 5 Through waves and clouds and storms He'll gently clear thy way; Wait thou his time, so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 6 Leave to his sovereign sway To choose and to command, So shalt thou, grateful, own his way Is wise, and strong his hand.

Death calls our friends, our neighbors, hence

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXXXIX (1789) Lyrics: 1 Death calls our friends, our neighbours, hence, And none resist the fatal dart; Continual warnings trike our sense — And shall they fail to reach our heart? 2 That awful hour will soon appear, (Swift on the wings of time it flies) When all that pains or pleases, here, Shall vanish from our closing eyes. 3 Lord of our life, inspire our heart With heav'nly ardour, grace divine; Nor let thy presence e'er depart, For strength, and life, and death, are thine. 4 O teach us the celestial skill Each awful warning to improve; And, while our days are short'ning still, Prepare us for the joys above.

Eternal Source of ev'ry Joy!

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Eternal Source of ev'ry joy! Well may thy praise our lips employ, While in thy temple we appear To hail thee Sovereign of the year. 2 Wide as the wheels of nature roll, Thy hand supports and cheers the whole: The sun is taught by thee to rise, And darkness, when to veil the skies. 3 The flow'ry spring, at thy command Perfumes the air, and paints the land; The summer rays with vigour shine, To raise the corn, and cheer the vine. 4 Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours, Through all our coasts, redundant stores; And winters, soften'd by thy care, No more the face of horror wear. 5 Seasons, and months, and weeks, and days, Demand successive songs of praise: And be the grateful homage paid, With morning light and ev'ning shade.
