How long, dear Jesus, oh! how long
Hymnal: SH1835 #283 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
How long, dear Jesus, oh! how long
Shall that bright hour delay;
Fly swiftly round, ye wheels of time,
And bring the promised day,
(Repeat previous line).
Languages: English Tune Title: NORTHFIELD
How long, dear Jesus, oh! how long
Shall wisdom cry aloud
Hymnal: SH1835 #284 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
Shall wisdom cry aloud,
And not her speech be heard?
The voice of God's eternal Word,
Deserves it no regard?
2.
"I was his chief delight,
His everlasting Son,
Before the first of all his works,
Creation was begun.
3.
"Before the flying clouds,
Before the solid land,
Before the fields before the floods
I dwelt at his right hand.
4.
"When he adorned the skies,
And built them, I was there
To order when the sun should rise,
And marshal every star
5.
"When he poured out the sea,
And spread the flowing deep,
I gave the flood a firm decree
In its own bounds to keep.
6.
"Upon the empty air
The earth was balanced well;
With joy I saw the mansion where
The sons of men should dwell.
7.
"My busy thoughts at first
On their salvation ran,
Ere sin was born, or Adam's dust
Was fashioned to a man.
8.
"Then come, receive my grace,
Ye children, and be wise;
Happy the man that keeps my ways;
The man that shuns them dies."
Languages: English Tune Title: WATCHMAN
Shall wisdom cry aloud
Give me the wings of faith, to rise
Hymnal: SH1835 #284b (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
Give me the wings of faith to rise
Within the veil, and see
The saints above, how great their joys,
How bright their glories be,
2.
Once they were mourners here below,
And wet the couch with tears;
They wrestled hard, as we do now,
With sins, and doubts, and fears,
Languages: English Tune Title: SPRAGUE
Give me the wings of faith, to rise
And must I be to judgment brought
Hymnal: SH1835 #285 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
And must I be to judgment brought,
And answer in that day
For every vain and idle thought,
And every word I say?
2.
Yes, every secret of my heart
Shall shortly be made known,
And I receive my just desert
For all that I have done.
3.
How careful, then, ought I to live,
With what religious fear!
Who such a strict account must give
For my behavior here.
4.
Thou awful Judge of quick and dead,
The watchful power bestow;
So shall I to my ways take heed,
To all I speak or do.
5.
If now thou standest at the door,
O let me feel thee near;
And make my peace with God, before
I at the thy bar appear.
Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON
And must I be to judgment brought
How sweet the melting lay
Hymnal: SH1835 #285b (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
How sweet the melting lay
Which breaks upon the ear,
When, at the hour of rising day,
Christians unite in prayer.
2.
The breezes waft their cries
Up to Jehovah's throne;
He listens to their heaving sighs,
And sends his blessing down.
3.
So Jesus rose to pray
Before the morning light,
Or on the chilling mount did stay,
And wrestle all the night.
4.
Glory to God on high,
Who sends his blessings down,
To rescue souls condemned to die,
And make his people one.
Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING WORSHIP
How sweet the melting lay
My God, my life, my love
Hymnal: SH1835 #286 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
My God, my life, my love,
To thee, to thee I call;
I cannot live if thou remove,
For thou art all in all.
2.
Thy shining grace can cheer
This dungeon where I dwell;
'Tis paradise when thou art here;
If thou depart, 'tis hell.
3.
The smilings of thy face,
How amiable they are!
'Tis heaven to rest in thine embrace,
And no where else but there.
4.
To thee, and thee alone,
The angels owe their bliss;
They sit around thy gracious throne,
And dwell where Jesus is.
5.
Not all the bliss harps above
Could make a heavenly place,
If God his residence remove,
Or but conceal his face.
6.
Nor earth, nor all the sky,
Can one delight afford,
No, not a drop of real joy,
Without thy presence, Lord.
7.
Thou art the sea of love,
Where all my pleasures roll:
The circle where my passions move,
And center of my soul.
8.
To thee my spirits fly
With infinite desire,
And yet how far from thee I lie!
Dear Jesus, raise me higher.
Languages: English Tune Title: SHIRLAND
My God, my life, my love
How pleasant, how divinely fair
Hymnal: SH1835 #287 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
1.
How pleasant, how divinely fair,
O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are!
With strong desire my spirit faints
To meet the assemblies of thy saints.
2.
My flesh would rest in thine abode,
My panting heart cries out for God;
My God! my King! why should I be
So far from all my joys and thee!
3.
The sparrow chooses where to rest,
And for her young provides her nest;
But will my God to sparrows grant
That pleasure which his children want?
4.
Blest are the saints that sit on high,
Around thy throne of majesty;
Thy brightest glories shine above,
And all their work is praise and love.
5.
Blest are the souls that find a place
Within the temple of thy grace:
Here they behold thy gentler rays,
And seek thy face, and learn thy praise.
6.
Blest are the men whose hearts are set
To find the way to Zion's gate
God is their strength, and through the road
They lean upon their helper, God.
7.
Cheerful they walk with growing strength,
Till all shall meet in heaven at length,
Till all before thy face appear,
And join in nobler worship there.

How pleasant, how divinely fair
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Hymnal: SH1835 #288 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
1.
Thus far the Lord hath led me on,
Thus far his power prolongs my days;
And every evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
2.
Much of my time has run to waste,
And I, perhaps, am near my home;
But he forgives my follies past,
And gives me strength for days to come.
3.
I lay my body down to sleep;
Peace is the pillow for my head;
While well appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed.
4.
In vain the sons of earth or hell
Tell me a thousand frightful things;
My God in safety makes me dwell
Beneath the shadow of his wings.
5.
Thus, when the night of death shall come,
My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,
And wait thy voice to rouse my the tomb,
With sweet salvation in the sound.
Languages: English Tune Title: HEBRON
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Life is the time to serve the Lord
Hymnal: SH1835 #288b (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKBRIDGE
Life is the time to serve the Lord
Come ye who know the Lord indeed
Hymnal: SH1835 #289 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
1.
Come ye who know the Lord indeed,
Who are from sin and bondage freed,
Submit to all the ways of God
And walk the narrow happy road.
2.
Great tribulation you shall meet,
But soon shall walk the golden street;
Though hell may rage and vent her spite,
Yet Christ will save his heart's delight.
3.
That awful day will soon appear,
When Gabriel's trumpet you shall hear
Sound through the earth yea down to hell,
To call the nations great and small.
4.
To see the earth in burning flames,
The trumpet louder here proclaims,
"The world shall hear and know her doom,
The separation now is come."
5.
Behold the righteous marching home,
And all the angels bid them come;
While Christ, the judge, with joy proclaims,
"Here come my saints, I'll own their names."
6.
Ye everlasting doors fly wide,
Make ready to receive my bride;
Ye trumps of heaven proclaim abroad,
"Here comes the purchase of my blood."
7.
In grandeur see the royal line
In glittering robes the sun outshine;
See saints and angels join in one
And march in splendor to the throne
8.
They stand and wonder, and look on—
They join in one eternal song,
Their great Redeemer to admire,
While raptures set their souls on fire.
Languages: English Tune Title: THE NARROW WAY
Come ye who know the Lord indeed
