Aaron a type of Christ

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XCV (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: See Aaron, God's anointed priest Lyrics: 1 See Aaron, God's anointed priest, Within the vail appear, In robes of mystic meaning drest, Presenting Israel's prayer. 2 The plate of gold which crowns his brows, His holiness describes; His breast displays in shining rows, The names of all the tribes. 3 With the atoning blood he stands Before the mercy-seat, And clouds of incense from his hands Arise with odour sweet. 4 Through him, the eye of faith decries A greater priest than he: Thus Jesus pleads above the skies, For you, my friends, and me. 5 He bears the names of all his saints, Deep on his heart engrav'd; Attentive to the state and wants of all his love has sav'd. 6 In him a holiness complete, Light and perfections shine, And wisdom, grace, and glory meet; A Saviour all divine.

For a public fast

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXLVI (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: See, gracious God, before thy throne Lyrics: 1 See gracious God, before thy throne Thy mourning people bend! 'Tis on thy sov'reign grace alone, Our humble hopes depend. 2 Tremendous judgments from thy hand, Thy dreadful pow'r display; Yet mercy spares this guilty land, And still we live to pray. 3 What num'rous crimes increasing rise, Through this apostate land! What land so favor'd of the skies, Yet thoughtless of thy hand? 4 How chang'd alas! are truths divine, For error, guilt, and shame! What impious numbers, bold in sin, Disgrace the christian name! 5 Regardless of thy smile or frown, Their pleasures they require; And sink with gay indiff'rence down To everlasting fire. 6 O turn us, turn us, mighty Lord, By thy resistless grace; Then shall our hearts obey thy word, And humbly seek thy face. 7 [Then, should insulting foes invade, We shall not sink in fear; Secure of never-failing aid, If God, our God, is near.] Topics: Fast Languages: English

Autumn, or the harvest is the end of the world

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: See how brown autumn spreads the field Lyrics: 1 See how brown autumn spreads the field; Mark how the whit'ning hills are turn'd; Behold them to the reapers yield, The wheat is sav'd, the tares are burn'd. 2 Thus the great Judge with glory crown'd, Descends to reap the ripen'd earth; Angelic guards attend him down, The same who sang his humble birth. 3 In sounds of glory, hear him speak; "Go search around the flaming world, Haste, call my saints, to rise and take The seats from which their foes were hurl'd. 4 "Go burn the chaff in endless fire, In flames unquench'd consume each tare; Sinners must feel my holy ire, And sink in guilt to deep despair." 5 Thus ends the harvest of the earth, Angels obey the awful voice: They save the wheat and burn the chaff, All heav'n approves the sov'reign choice.

To-day the sinner dies. 4 When conscience speaks, its voice regard, And seize the tender hour; Humbly implore the promis'd grace, And God will give the power. Languages: English

Trust of the wicked and the righteous

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CXLVII (1799) First Line: See how the worthless bramble stands Lyrics: 1 See how the worthless bramble stands Beneath a burning sky; Wither'd and parch'd in barren sands, And only grows to die. 2 Such is the sinner's awful case, Who makes the world his trust; And dares his confidence to place In vanity and dust. 3 A secret curse destroys his root, And dries his moisture up; He lives a while, but bears no fruit, Then dies without a hope. 4 But happy he whose hopes depend Upon the Lord alone; The soul that trusts in such a friend Can ne'er be overthrown.

The effects of the fall lamented

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: See human nature sunk in shame Lyrics: 1 See human nature sunk in shame; See scandals pour'd on Jesu's name; The father wounded through the son; The world abus'd, the soul undone. 2 See the short course of vain delight, Closing in everlasting night; In flames, that no abatement know, Kindled by sin the source of woe. 3 My God, I feel the mournful scene; My bowels yearn o'er dying men; And fain new pity would reclaim, And snatch the fire-brands from the flame. 4 But feeble my compassion proves, And can but weep, where most it loves; Thy own all-saving arm employ, And turn these drops of grief to joy.

The Prodigal Son

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXLVII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: See the rash youth, defil'd with sin Lyrics: Part I The sinner departing from God: 1 See the rash youth, defil'd with sin, Hear how he claims with haughty voice, To have his portion, and begin In vice and madness to rejoice. 2 His father gave with bounteous hands, Richly were all his wants supply'd; Thankless he took; in foreign lands Wasted in pleasure, pomp and pride. 3 In lust and wine he spent the whole, Forgot his Father and his home; Nor thought nor felt he had a soul Expos'd to meet the wrath to come. 4 The giddy crowd that round him throng, In every sinful folly join; Approve the mirth and chant the song That casts contempt on things divine. 5 Thus lur'd by charms of flattering vice, The rebel sees his substance fled; His friends forsake, his wants arise, For sin has struck his comforts dead. Part II The sinner under conviction: 6 With dying want the sinner cries, Nor thinks rebellion makes his pain; To strangers, far from home, applies, Nor seeks his Father's grace to gain. 7 See the poor wretch with hunger prest, Sunk low with swine to have a share; Alas! how far from peaceful rest, Tortur'd by conscience, guilt and fear. 8 'Tis thus the God of sov'reign grace Begins to bring a rebel home; The spirit shews his wretched case, And points a judgment still to come. 9 Now self-condemn'd to works he flies And thinks to cleanse a guilty mind, Still far from penitence, which cries To God for help, and feels resign'd. 10 Blinded by sin, to duty lost, He grasps the husks and hates the bread; Hill all his expectations crost, His hopes from self and means are fled. Part III The Sinner brought to true repentance: 11 Now see the Rebel raise his eyes, From dreaming folly just awake; His soul relents with strange surprise, And all his heart begins to break. 12 I starve, he cries, nor can I bear This death I feel in sinful lands, While servants of my Father share The liberal bounty of his hands. 13 With deep repentance on my tongue, I'll go and seek my Father's face, Unworthy to be call'd a son, I'll only ask a servant's place. 14 I'll tell him how I've griev'd his love, And basely fled his holy sight, How I've provok'd all heav'n above, Nor thought or done a thing that's right. 15 Far off his Father saw him come, And o'er him all his bowels yearn'd; He rose to bless and greet his son, And crown with grace his safe return. 16 The Rebel's heart with sorrow fill'd, Bled for the crimes, which he had done: Through all the Courts the triumph smil'd, And sang the Father's grace alone.

The resurrection of Christ

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXXXII (1799) First Line: See the victorious Jesus come Lyrics: 1 See the victorious Jesus come, Rising triumphant from the tomb, Th' Almighty conq'ror quits the pris'n; And angels tell the Lord is ris'n. Angels, angels, angels, angels, And angels tell the Lord is ris'n. 2 Ye guilty souls that groan and grieve, Hear the glad tidings, hear and live; God's righteous law is satisfy'd, And justice now is on your side. Justice,justice, justice, justice, And justice no is on your side. 3 Your Surety, thus releas'd by God, Pleads the rich ransom of his blood, No new demand, no bar remains; But mercy now triumphant reigns. Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, But mercy now triumphant reigns. 4 Believers, hail your rising Head, See Jesus coming from the dead, Your resurrection's sure, through his, To endless life,and boundless bliss. Endless, endless, endless, endless, To endless life, and boundless bliss. Topics: Christ His resurrection Languages: English

The goodness of God acknowledged in giving pastors after his own heart

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXLI (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Shepherd of Israel, thou dost keep Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of Israel, thou dost keep With constant care thy humble sheep; By thee inferior pastors rise To feed our souls,and bless our eyes. 2 To all thy churches such impart, Model'd by thy own gracious heart; Whose courage, watchfulness, and love, Men may attest, and God approve. 3 Fed by their active tender care, Healthful may all thy sheep appear, And, by their fair example led, The way to Zion's pastures tread. 4 Here hast thou listen'd to our vows, And scatter'd blessings on thy house; Thy saints are succour'd, and no more As sheep without a guide deplore. 5 Completely heal each former stroke, And bless the shepherd and the flock; confirm the hopes thy mercies raise, And own this tribute of our praise.
