Eternal Source of life and thought!

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #LXXVI (1789) Lyrics: 1 Eternal Source of life and thought! Be all beneath thyself forgot, While thee great Parent Mind we own, In prostrate homage round thy throne. 2 While in themselves our souls survey Of thee some faint reflected ray, They, wond'ring, to their Father rise: His pow'r, how vast! his thoughts, how wise! 3 O may we live before thy face Th' obedient children of thy grace, And thro' each path of duty move With filial awe and filial love. 4 Call us away from flesh and sense; Thy sov'reign hand can draw us thence; We would obey the voice divine, And all inferior joys resign.

Eternal, sov'reign Lord on high

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CLXII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Eternal, sov'reign Lord on high, And Lord of all below! We mortals to thy Majesty Our first obedience owe. 2 Our souls adore thy pow'r supreme, And bless thy providence, For magistrates of meaner name, Our glory and defence. 3 Kingdoms on firm foundations stand, While virtue finds reward; And sinners perish from the land, By justice and the sword. 4 Where laws and liberties combine To make a people blest, There crowns with brightest lustre shine, And kings are honour'd best. 5 Let Caesar's due be ever paid To Caesar and his throne; But consciences and souls were made For thee, O God! alone.

Father of men, who can complain

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #LX (1789) Lyrics: 1 Father of men, who can complain Under thy mild and equal reign? Who does a weight of duty share More than his aids and pow'r can bear? 2 With diff'ring climes and diff'ring lands, With fruitful plains and barren sands, Thy hand hath form'd this earthly round, And set each nation in its bound. 3 With like variety thy ray Here sheds a full, there fainter day, While all are in their measure show'd The way to happiness and God. 4 O the unbounding grace which brought To us the words by Jesus taught! So blest and with such hopes inspir'd, How much is giv'n, how much requir'd! Topics: The Gospel Dispensation The Equity of Divine Dispensations Languages: English

Father of mercies, God of love

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #LXXXVIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, God of love, My father and my God, I'll sing the honours of thy name, And spread thy praise abroad. 2 My soul, in pleasing wonder lost, Thy various love surveys; Where shall my grateful lips begin, Or where conclude thy praise? 3 In every period of my life, Thy thoughts of love appear; Thy mercies gild the transient scene, And crown each passing year. 4 In all these mercies may my soul A father's bounty see; Nor let the gifts thy grace bestows Estrange my heart from thee. 5 Teach me, in time of deep distress, To own thy hand, my God; And in submissive silence hear The lessons of thy rod. 6 In every varying mortal state, Each bright, each gloomy scene, Give me a meek and humble mind, Still equal and serene. 7 Then will I close my eyes in death Without one anxious fear; For death itself is life, O God, If thou art with me there.

Fountain of being, God of love

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #LXXXV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Fountain of being! God of love! To thee our hearts we raise; Thine all-sustaining power we prove, And gladly sing thy praise. 2 Thine, wholly thine, we long to be; Our sacrifice receive; Made, and preserv'd, and sav'd by thee, To thee ourselves we give. 3 Heavenward our every wish aspires; For all thy mercies store, The sole return thy love requires, Is, that we ask for more. 4 For more we ask; we open, Lord, Our hearts t'embrace thy will; Renew us by thy heav'nly grace, And with thy fulness fill. 5 Still may we find thy heavenly love Shed in our hearts abroad; So shall we ever live, and move, And be with Christ in God.

Fountain of uncreated light

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CLVI (1789) Lyrics: 1 Fountain of uncreated light! Thou give of the mental sight! Thy beams on all are shed; Thy grace, on all mankind bestow'd, Still points each seeking soul the road To happiness and God. 2 Lighten'd by thine interior ray, Thee ev'ry child of Adam may His unknown God explore, And, following close thy secret grace, Immerge into the glorious place Where darkness is no more. 3 That universal light thou art, And turn'd to thee the darkest heart A glimmering spark may find; Let man reject it or embrace, Thou offerest thy saving grace To us and all mankind. 4 Light of our soul, we follow tee In humble faith on earth to see Thy perfect day of love, And then with all thy saints in light To gain the beatifick sight Which makes their heaven above.

Frail is the state of mortal man

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXXXIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Frail is the state of mortal man, His life's a shade, his days a span, He can't prolong his vital breath, Nor 'scape the unerring shaft of death. 2 Soon he declines from youth to age, And passes swiftly o'er the stage; Swift from the dradle to the tomb, From sprightly spring to winter's gloom. 3 Be ever watchful, then, my soul, While days, and months, and seasons roll; Redeem the present fleeting hour, Improve it while 'tis in thy power: 4 That when this transient life's no more, And all its joys and cares are o'er, From death's dark vale thou may'st arise To nobler mansions in the skies.

Give to our God immortal praise

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XXIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Give to our God immortal praise! Mercy and truth are all his ways; Wonders of grace to God belong; Repeat his mercies in your song. 2 Give to the Lord of Lords renown; The King of Kings with glory crown: His mercies ever shall endure, When Lords and Kings are known no more. 3 He built the earth; he spread the sky, And fix'd the starry lights on high: Wonders of grace to God belong, Repeat his mercies in your song. 4 He fills the sun with morning light; He bids the moon direct the night; His mercies ever shall endure, When suns and moons shall be no more. 5 Give to our God immortal praise, Mercy and truth are all his ways; Wonders of grace to God belong, Repeat his mercies in your song. 6 Through this vain world he guides our feet, And leads us to his heav'nly seat: His mercies ever shall endure, When this vain world shall be no more.

God of eternity, from thee

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXXXVII (1789) Lyrics: 1 God of eternity, from thee Did infant time his being draw; Moments and days, and months, and years, Revolve by thy unvaried law. 2 Silent and slow they glide away; Steady and strong the current flows; Lost in eternity’s vast sea, The boundless gulf from whence it rose. 3 With it the thoughtless sons of men Before the rapids streams are borne On to that everlasting home, Whence not one soul can e'er return. 4 Yet while the shore on either side Presents a gaudy, flatt'ring shew, They gaze, in fond amazement lost, Nor think to what a world they go. 5 Great Source of Wisdom, teach my heart To know the price of every hour; That time may bear me on to joys Beyond its measure and its power.
