O the Delights, the heav'nly Joys

Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: Prosperity vain Lyrics: 1 O the Delights, the heav'nly Joys, The Glories of the Place, Where Jesus sheds the brightest Beams Of his o'erflowing Grace! 2 Sweet Majesty and awful Love Sit smiling on his Brow, And all the glorious Ranks above, At humble Distance bow. [3 Princes to his imperial Name, Bend their bright Sceptres down, Dominions, Thrones, and Pow'rs rejoice To see him wear the Crown.] 4 Archangels sound his lofty Praise Through ev'ry heav'nly Street; And lay their highest Honours down, Submissive at his Feet. 5 Those soft, those blessed Feet of his, That once rude Iron tore, High on a Throne of Light they stand, And all the Saints adore. 6 His Head, the dear Majestick Head, That cruel Thorns did wound, See what immortal Glories shine, And circle it around. 7 This is the Man, th' exalted Man, Whom we unseen adore; But when our Eyes behold his Face, Our Hearts shall love him more. [8 Lord, how our Souls are all on Fire To see thy blest Abode, Our Tongues rejoice in Tunes of Praise To our incarnate God. 9 And whilst our Faith enjoys this Sight, We long to leave our Clay, And wish thy fiery Chariots, Lord, To fetch our Souls away.]

Pride and Death; or, The Vanity of Life and Riches

Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: Prosperous sinners cursed; Prosperous sinners cursed First Line: Why doth the man of riches grow Lyrics: 1 Why doth the man of riches grow To insolence and pride, To see his wealth and honours flow With every rising tide. 2 [Why doth he treat the poor with scorn, Made of the self-same clay, And boast as though his flesh was born Of better dust than they?] 3 Not all his treasures can procure His soul a short reprieve, Redeem from death one guilty hour, Or make his brother live. 4 Eternal life can ne'er be sold, The ransom is too high; Justice will ne'er be brib'd with gold, That man may never die. 5 He sees the brutish and the wise, The timorous and the brave, Quit their possessions, close their eyes, And hasten to the grave. 6 Yet 'tis his inward thought and pride, "My house shall ever stand; "And that my name may long abide, "I'll give it to my land." 7 Vain are his thoughts, his hopes are lost, How soon his memory dies! His name is written in the dust, Where his own body lies. Pause. 8 This is the folly of their way And yet their sons as vain Approve the words their fathers say, And act their works again. 9 Men void of wisdom and of grace, Tho' honour raise them high, Live like the beast, a thoughtless race, And like the beast they die. 10 [Laid in the grave like silly sheep, Death triumphs o'er them there, Till the last trumpet breaks their sleep, And wakes them in despair.] Scripture: Psalm 49:6-14

I own thy power divine That works to change this heart of mine; I would be formed anew, and bless The wonders of creating grace. Scripture: Psalm 73

The wicked Man's Transgression proves

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Prayers Of the Church for her Preservation and Prosperity in all Ages Lyrics: 1 The wicked Man's Transgression proves, He fears not GOD, but Falshood loves; Mischievous Arts conceiving; The crafty Foe, with flatt'ring Lies, His cursed Purpose would disguise, In him there's no believing: But his dark Plots expos'd to Shame, Shall shew his Friendship's but a Name, Whate'er is his Profession; His wakeful Malice spends the Night, In forging his accursed Spite, In Schemes of great Oppression. But Reason whispers to my Heart, No Fear of God's before his Eyes. 2 But, LORD, thy Mercy's, my sure Hope, Thy sacred Truth's unmeasur'd Scope, Beyond the Skies extending; Thy Justice like the Hills remains, Thy Providence the World sustains, All Things on thee depending. Since of thy Goodness all partake, Thy shelt'ring Wings the Saints shall make, A Refuge for protection. Such Guests shall to thy Courts be led, And drink as from a Fountain Head, Of Joys, in full Perfection. 3 Thy Presence is eternal Day, To upright Hearts, O LORD! display, Thy Truth's invalued Treasure; Oh! let thy Saints thy Favour gain! With thee the Springs of Life remain, The Springs of Joy and Pleasure. Whilst they, at me, insulting spurn, Their Mischiefs on themselves return, For thou hast me protected: My harmless Life they would surprize, But down they're fall'n no more to rise, By all Mankind rejected. Scripture: Psalm 36 Used With Tune: [The wicked man's transgression proves]
