A Song to Creating Wisdom
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XXVI (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Eternal Wisdom thee we praise Lyrics: 1 Eternal wisdom, thee we praise,
Thee the creation sings
With thy lov'd name, rocks, hills and seas
And heav'n's high palace rings.
2 Thy hand how wide it spread the sky!
How glorious to behold!
Ting'd with a blue of heavenly dye,
And starr'd with sparkling gold.
3 Thy glorious blaze all nature round,
And strike the gazing sight,
Thro' skies, and seas, and solid ground
With terror and delight.
4 Infinite strength, and equal skill,
Shine thro' the worlds abroad,
Our souls with vast amazement fill,
And speak the builder GOD.
5 But the sweet beauties of thy grace
Our softer passions move;
Pity divine in JESUS' face
We see, adore, and love. Languages: English
A Song to Creating Wisdom
Devout retirement
Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #LIII (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Far from my thoughts, vain world, be gone Lyrics: 1 Far from my thoughts vain world be gone,
Let my religious hours alone;
Fain would my eyes my Saviour see,
I wait a visit, Lord, from thee.
2 My heart grows warm with holy fire,
And kindles with a pure desire:
Come my dear Jesus, from above,
3 O haste, but with a smiling face,
And spread the table of thy grace;
Bring down a taste of truth divine,
And cheer my heart with sacred wine.
4 Bless'd Jesus, what delicious fare!
How sweet thy entertainments are!
Never did angels taste above
Redeeming grace and dying love.
5 Hail great Immanuel, all divine!
In thee thy Father's glories shine;
Thou brightest, sweetest, fairest one,
That eyes have seen, or angels known. Languages: English
Devout retirement
Obedience and Death of Christ
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XXXVI (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Father, I sing thy wond'rous grace Lyrics: 1 Father, I sing thy wond'rous grace,
I bless my Saviour's name.
He bought salvation for the poor,
And bore the sinners shame.
2 His deep distress has rais'd us high;
His duty and his zeal.
Fulfill'd the law which mortals broke,
And finish'd all thy will.
3 His dying groans, his living songs,
Shall better please my God,
Than harp or trumpet's solemn sound,
Than goats or bullocks blood.
4 This shall his humble foll'wers see,
And set their hearts at rest;
They by his death draw near to thee,
And live for ever blest.
4 Let heav'n, and all that dwell on high,
To God their voices raise,
While lands and seas assist the sky,
And join'd t' advance the praise.
Scripture: Psalm 69 Languages: English
Obedience and Death of Christ
The Excellency of the Scripture
Author: Steel Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XXVIII (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Father of mercies, in thy word Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, in thy word
What endless glory shines?
For ever be thy name ador'd
For these celestial lines.
2 Here the fair tree of knowledge grows,
And yields a free repast;
Sublimer sweets than nature knows,
Invite the longing taste.
3 Here springs of consolation rise,
To chear the fainting mind;
And thirsty souls receive supplies,
And sweet refreshment find.
4 Here the Redeemer's welcome voice
Spreads heav'nly peace around;
And life, and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.
5 O may these heav'nly pages be
My ever dear delight,
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light.
6 Divine instructor, gracious LORD!
Be thou for ever near;
Teach me to love thy sacred word,
And view my Saviour there. Languages: English

Creation and Redemption
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XLII (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Give to our God immortal praise 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 shine no more.
5 He sent his Son with power to save,
From guilt and darkness and the grave,
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. Scripture: Psalm 136 Languages: English
Creation and Redemption
Immutability of God
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XLV (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Great Former of this various frame Lyrics: 1 Great Former of this various frame,
Our souls adore thine awful name;
And bow and tremble, while they praise
The ancient of eternal days.
2 Thou, Lord, with unsurpris'd survey,
Saw'st nature rising yesterday;
And, as tomorrow, shall thine eye
See earth and stars in ruin lie.
3 Beyond an angel's vision bright,
Thou dwell'st in self-existent light.
Which shines with undiminish'd ray,
While suns and worlds in smoke decay.
4 Our days a transient period run,
And change with ev'ry circling sun,
And in the firmest state we boast,
A moth can crush us into dust.
5 But let the creatures fall around;
Let death consign us to the ground,
Let the last general flame arise,
And melt the Arches of the skies:
6 Calm as the summer's ocean, we,
Can all the wreck of nature see,
While grace secures us an abode,
Unshaken as the throne of God. Languages: English
Immutability of God
Longing after God
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XLI (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Great God, indulge my humble claim Lyrics: 1 Great God, indulge my humble claim
Be thou my joy, my hope my rest
The glories that compose thy name,
Stand all engag'd to make me blest.
2 Thou great and good, thou just and wise,
Be thou my father and my God;
And make me thine by sacred ties,
Thy Son thy servant bought with blood.
3 With heart and eyes and lifted hands,
For thee I long, for thee I look;
As travellers in thirsty lands,
Pant for the cooling water brook.
4 O may thy love inspire my tongue,
Salvation shall be all my song;
And all my power shall join to bless,
The Lord my strength and Righteousness.
Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English

The Freeness of the Gospel
Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCLXII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Worship Hymns Before Sermon First Line: How free and boundless is the grace Lyrics: 1 How free and boundless is the grace
Of our redeeming God,
Extending to the Greek and Jew,
And men of every blood!
2 The mightiest king, and meanest slave,
May his rich mercy taste;
He bids the beggar and the prince,
Unto the gospel feast.
3 None are excluded thence, but those
Who do themselves exclude;
Welcome the learned and polite,
The ignorant and rude.
4 Come then ye men of every name,
Of every rank and tongue;
What you are willing to receive,
Doth unto you belong.

The Pool of Bethesda
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCLXIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Worship Hymns Before Sermon First Line: How long, thou faithful God, shall I Lyrics: 1 How long, thou faithful God, shall I
Here on thy ways forgotten lie?
When shall the means of healing be
The channels of thy grace to me?
2 Sinners on every side step in,
And wash away their pain and sin;
But I, an helpless sin-sick soul,
Still ie expiring at the Pool.
3 Thou cov'nant angel swift come down,
To-day thine own appointments crown;
Thy power into the means infuse,
And give them now their sacred use.
4 Thou seest me lying at the Pool.
I would, thou know'st I would be whole;
O let the troubled waters move,
And minister thy healing love. Scripture: John 5:2-4 Languages: English
The Pool of Bethesda
Christ precious
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #LVIII (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: I love thy charming name Lyrics: 1 I love thy charming name,
'Tis music to my ear;
Fain would I sound it out so loud
That earth and heav'n might hear.
2 Yes thou art precious to my soul,
My transport and my trust,
Jewels to thee are gaudy toys,
And gold is sordid dust.
3 All my capacious pow'rs can wish
In thee most richly meet;
Not to my eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet.
4 O may thy grace still cheer my heart,
And shed its fragrance there!
The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care.
5 I'll speak the honours of thy name,
With my last lab'ring breath;
And speechless clasp thee in mine arms,
My joy in life and death!
