Stand the omnipotent decree!

Hymnal: PHBD1791 #HV (1791) Lyrics: 1 Stand the omnipotent decree! Jehovah's will be done! Nature's end we wait to see, And hear her final groan: Let this earth dissolve, and bleed In death, the wicked and the just: Let those pond'rous orbs descend, And grind us into dust. 2 Rests secure the righteous man! At his redeemer's beck, Sure to emerge, and rise again, And mount above the wreck. Lo! the heavenly spirit towers, Like flames, o'er nature's fun'ral pyre, Triumphs in immortal powers, And claps his wings of fire! 3 Nothing hath the just of lose By worlds on worlds destroy'd, Far beneath his feet he views With smiles the flaming void; Sees this universe renew'd, The grand millennial year begun; Shouts, with all the sons of God Around th' eternal throne! 4 Resting in this glorious hope, To be at last restor'd, Yield we now our bodies up To earthquake, plague or sword. List'ning for the call divine, The latest trumpet of the seven; Soon our soul and dust shall join, And both fly up to heaven. Topics: Describing Judgment Languages: English

Stay, thou insulted spirit, stay

Hymnal: PHBD1791 #XXXI (1791) Lyrics: 1 Stay, thou insulted spirit, stay, Tho' I have done thee such despite; Nor cast the sinner quite away, Nor take thine everlasting flight. 2 Though I have most unfaithful been, Of all who e'er thy grace receiv'd; Ten thousand times thy goodness seen, Ten thousand times thy goodness griev'd. 3 Yet O! the chief of sinners spare, In honour of my great High Priest, Nor in thy righteous anger swear T' exclude me from thy people's rest. 4 If yet thou canst my sins forgive, From now, O Lord, relieve my woes; Into thy rest of love receive, And bless me with the calm repose. 5 From now my weary soul release, Up-raise me by thy gracious hand, And guide into thy perfect peace, And bring me to the promis'd land.

Still, for thy loving kindness, Lord

Hymnal: PHBD1791 #CLXXIV (1791) Lyrics: 1 Still, for thy loving kindness, Lord, I in thy temple wait, I look to find thee in a word, Or at thy table meet. 2 Here in thine own appointed ways I wait to learn thy will: Silent I stand before thy face, And hear thee say, "Be still!" 3 "Be still, and know that I am God!" 'Tis all I live to know! To feel the virtue of thy blood, And spread its praise below! 4 I wait my vigour to renew, Thine image to retrieve: The veil of outward things pass through, And gasp in thee to live. 5 I work; and own the labour vain, And thus from works I cease: I strive and see my fruitless pain, Till God create my peace. 6 Fruitless, till thou thyself impart, Must all my efforts prove: They cannot change a sinful heart, They cannot purchase love. 7 I do the thing thy laws enjoin, And then the strife give o'er; To thee I then the whole resign, And trust in means no more. 8 I trust in him who stands between The Father's wrath and me; Jesu, thou great eternal mean, I look for all from thee.

Terrible thought! shall I alone

Hymnal: PHBD1791 #XVI (1791) Lyrics: 1 Terrible thought! shall I alone, Who may be sav'd, shall I, Of all, alas! whom I have known Through sin for ever die. 2 While all my old companions dear, With whom I once did live, Joyful at God’s right hand appear, A blessing to receive. 3 Shall I amidst a ghastly band, Dragg'd to the judgment seat, Far on the left with horror stand, My fearful doom to meet? 4 While they enjoy their Saviour's love, Must I in torments dwell? And howl (while they sing hymns above) And blow the flames of hell. 5 Ah! no; I still may turn and live; For still his wrath delays; He now vouchsafes a kind reprieve, And offers me his grace. 6 I will accept his offers now, From ev'ry sin depart, Perform my oft repeated vow, And render him my heart. 7 I will improve what I receive, The grace through Jesus given; Sure if with God on earth I live, To live with God in heav'n.

The God of Abrah'm praise

Hymnal: PHBD1791 #CLXI (1791) Lyrics: 1 The God of Abrah'm praise, Who reigns enthron'd above; Ancient of everlasting days, And God of love; JEHOVAH, GREAT I AM! By earth and heav'n confest; I bow and bless the sacred name, For ever blest. 2 The God of Abr'ham praise, At whose supreme command From earth I rise — and seek the joys At his right hand: I all on earth forsake, Its wisdom, fame, and pow'r; And him my only portion make, My shield and tow'r. 3 The God of Abr'ham praise, Whose all-sufficient grace Shall guide me all my happy days, In all my ways: He calls a worm his friend! He calls himself my God! And he shall save me to the end, Thro' Jesu's blood! 4 He by himself hath sworn, I on his oath depend! I shall on eagle's wings up-borne, To heav'n ascend! I shall behold his face, I shall his pow'r adore, And sing the wonders of his grace For evermore. Topics: Praise Languages: English

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Hymnal: PHBD1791 #CLXXI (1791) Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye: My noon-day walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My weary, wand'ring steps he leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landskip-flow. 3 Tho' in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My stedfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade. 4 Tho' in a bare and rugged way, Through devious lonely wilds I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains beguile; The barren wilderness shall smile With sudden greens and herbage crown'd, And streams shall murmur all around.

The Lord of earth and sky

Hymnal: PHBD1791 #CCXIII (1791) Lyrics: 1 The Lord of earth and sky, The God of ages praise, Who reigns enthron'd on high, Ancient of endless days, Who lengthens out our trials here, And spares us yet another year. 2 Barren and wither'd trees, We cumber'd long the ground, No fruit of holiness, On our dead souls was found; Yet doth he us in mercy spare, Another, and another year. 3 When justice bar'd the sword To cut the fig-tree down, The pity of our Lord Cry'd, Let it still alone! The Father mild inclines his ear, And spares us yet another year. 4 Jesus, thy speaking blood From God obtain'd the grace, Who therefore hath bestow'd On us a longer space; Thou didst in our behalf appear, And lo! we see another year! 5 Then dig about our root, Break up our fallow ground, And let our gracious fruit To thy great praise abound; O let us all thy praise declare, And fruit unto perfection bear.

The Lord of Sabbath let us praise

Hymnal: PHBD1791 #CLV (1791) Lyrics: 1 The Lord of Sabbath let us praise, In concert with the blest, Who, joyful in harmonious lays, Employ an endless rest. 2 Thus, Lord, while we remember thee, We blest and pious grow, By hymns of praise we learn to be Triumphant here below. 3 On this glad day a brighter scene Of glory was display'd By God, th' eternal word, than when This universe was made. 4. He rises, who mankind has bought With grief and pain extreme; ’Twas great to speak the world from nought, ’Twas greater to redeem! Topics: Praise Languages: English

The praying spirit breathe

Hymnal: PHBD1791 #LXI (1791) Lyrics: 1 The praying spirit breathe, The watching pow'r impart; From all entanglements beneath Call off my peaceful heart; My feeble mind sustain, By worldly thoughts opprest; Appear and bid me turn again To my eternal rest. 3 Swift to my rescue come, Thine own this moment seize; Gather my wand'ring spirit home, And keep in perfect peace: Suffer'd no more to rove O'er all the earth abroad, Arrest the pris'ner of thy love, And shut me up in God.

The spacious firmament on high

Hymnal: PHBD1791 #CXLI (1791) Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav’ns, (a shining frame!) Their great Original proclaim. Th’ unwearied sun from day to day, Does his Creator’s pow'r display; And publishes to ev'ry land The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the ev'ning shades prevail, The moon takes up the wond'rous tale, And nightly to the list'ning earth, Repeats the story of her birth: Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all Move round the dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found; In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine."
