Come, let our voices join to raise
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #450 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Psalm before sermon Lyrics:
Come, let our voices join to raise
A sacred song of solemn praise;
God is a sovereign King, rehearse
His honors in exalted verse.
Come, let our souls address the Lord,
Who framed our natures with his word;
He is our Shepherd; we the sheep
His mercy chose, his pastures keep.
Come, let us hear his voice today,
The counsels of his love obey;
Nor let our hardened hearts renew
The sins and plagues that Isr'el knew.
Isr'el, that saw his works of grace,
Yet tempt their Maker to his face;
A faithless, unbelieving brood,
That tired the patience of their God.
Thus saith the Lord: "How false they prove
Forget my power, abuse my love!
Since they despise my rest, I swear,
Their feet shall never enter there."
[Look back, my soul, with holy dread,
And view those ancient rebels dead;
Attend the offered grace today,
Nor lose the blessing by delay.
Seize the kind promise while it waits,
And march to Zion's heav'nly gates:
Believe, and take the promised rest;
Obey, and be for ever blest.]
Scripture: Psalm 95:6-11 Languages: English
Come, let our voices join to raise
A Joyful Course
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #LVI (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Assist us, LORD, thy name to praise Lyrics: 1 Assist us, LORD, thy name to praise
For the rich gospel of thy grace;
And, that our hearts may love it more,
Teach them to feel its vital power.
2 With joy may we our course pursue,
And keep the crown of life in view;
That crown, which in one hour repays
The labour of ten thousand days.
3 Should bonds of death obstruct our way,
Unmov'd their terrors we'll survey;
And the last hour improve for thee,
The last of life, or liberty.
4 Welcome those bonds, which may unite
Our souls to their supreme delight!
Welcome that death whose painful strife
Bears us to CHRIST our better life!

A blessed Gospel
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #LX (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Blest are the souls that hear and know Lyrics: 1 Blest are the souls that hear and know
The gospel's joyful sound;
Peace shall attend the path they go,
And light their steps surround.
2 Their joy shall bear their spirits up
Through their Redeemer's name;
His righteousness exalts their hope,
Nor satan dares condemn.
3 The Lord, our glory and defence,
Strength and salvation gives:
Israel, thy King for ever reigns,
Thy God for ever lives.

Breathing after the holy Spirit
Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XXXI (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove Lyrics: 1 Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove
With all thy quick'ning pow'rs;
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 Look how we grovel here below,
Fond of these trifling toys;
Our souls can neither fly, nor go
To reach eternal joys.
3 In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
4 Dear LORD, and shall we ever lie
At this poor dying rate?
Our love so faint, so cold to thee,
And thine to us so great?
5 Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove,
With all thy quick'ning pow'rs;
Come shed abroad a Saviour’s love,
And that shall kindle ours. Languages: English

The Joys of Heaven
Author: Steel Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XXX (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Come, LORD, and warm each languid heart Lyrics: 1 Come, LORD, and warm each languid heart,
Inspire each lifeless tongue;
And let the joys of heaven impart
Their influ'nce to our song.
2 Then to the shining seats of bliss
The wings of faith shall soar,
And all the charms of paradise
Our raptur'd thoughts explore.
3 Pleasures unsully'd flourish there,
Beyond the reach of time;
Not blooming Eden smil'd so fair
In all her flow'ry prime.
4 Sorrow and pain, and ev'ry care,
And discord there shall cease;
And perfect joy and love sincere
Adorn the realms of peace.
5 The soul, from sin for ever free,
shall mourn its pow'r no more;
But cloth'd in spotless purity,
Redeeming love adore.
6 There shall the followers of the Lamb,
Join in immortal songs;
And endless honours to his name
Employ their tuneful tongues.
7 LORD, tune our hearts to praise and love
Our feeble notes inspire;
Till in thy blissful courts above
We join th' angelic choir.

God's reasoning with men
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #LV (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Come sinners, saith the mighty God Lyrics: 1 Come sinners, saith the mighty God
Heinous as all your Crimes have been,
Lo! I descend from mine abode,
To reason with the sons of men.
2 No clouds of darkness veil my face,
No vengeful lightnings flash around
I come with terms of life and peace;
Where sin hath reign'd let grace abound.
3 Yes, LORD, we will obey thy call,
And to thy gracious Sceptre bow;
O make our crimson sins like wool,
Our scarlet crimes as white as snow.
4 So shall our thankful lips repeat
Thy praises with a tuneful voice,
While humbly prostrate at thy feet,
We wonder, tremble, and rejoice.

Looking upward
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XXXIV (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Earth has detain'd me prisoner long Lyrics: 1 Earth has detain'd me prisoner long
And I’m grown weary now
My heart, my hand, my ear my tongue,
There’s nothing here for you.
2 Lord in my thoughts, I stretch me down,
And upwards glance mine eyes;
Upward (my Father) to thy throne,
And to my native skies.
3 There the dear Man my Saviour sits,
The GOD, how bright he shines!
And scatters infinite delights
On all the happy minds.
4 Seraphs with elevated strains
Circle the throne around,
And move and charm the starry plains
With an immortal sound.
5 JESUS the Lord their harps employs,
JESUS my love they sing.
JESUS the name of both our joys
Sounds sweet from every string.

God exalted above all praise
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XLIII (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Eternal Power, whose high abode Lyrics: 1 Eternal power, whose high abode
Becomes the grandeur of a God,
Infinite length, beyond the bounds
Where stars revolve their little rounds.
2 The lowest step above thy seat,
Rises too high for Gabriel's feet.
In vain the tall arch-angel tries;
To reach the hight with wond'ring eyes.
3 Lord what shall earth and ashes do?
We would adore our maker too;
From sin and dust to thee we cry,
The great, the holy, and the high.
4 Earth from afar, has heard thy fame,
And worms have learnt to lisp thy name
But O, the glories of thy mind
Leave all our soaring thoughts behind.
5 God is in heaven, and men below;
Be short our tunes our words be few,
A sacred rev'rence checks our songs,
And praise sits silent on our tongues. Languages: English
God exalted above all praise
