The glorious Gospel
Author: Dr. Stennett Appears in 63 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: What Wisdom Majesty and grace Lyrics: 1 What Wisdom Majesty and grace
Thro' all the Gospel shine!
'Tis GOD that speaks, and we confess
The Doctrine most divine.
2 Down from his starry Throne on high,
Th' Almighty Saviour comes;
Lays his bright robes of glory by,
And feeble flesh assumes.
3 The mighty debt that sinners owe,
Upon the cross he pays:
Then thro' the clouds ascends to God,
'Midst shouts of lofty praise.
4 There he our great high priest appears,
Before his father's throne:
Mingles his merit with our tears,
And pours salvation down.
5 Great GOD, with rev'rence we adore
Thy Justice and thy grace;
And on thy faithfulness and power
Our firm dependence place. Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:11
The glorious Gospel
A Joyful Course
Author: Doddridge Appears in 22 hymnals 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 Joyful Course
Breathing after the holy Spirit
Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 1,218 hymnals 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.
Breathing after the holy Spirit
The gospel worthy of all acceptance
Author: Dr. Gibbons Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Jesus the eternal Son of God Lyrics: 1 Jesus the eternal Son of God,
Whom seraphim obey,
The bosom of the Father leaves,
And enters human clay.
2 Into our sinful world he comes
The Messenger of grace,
And on the bloody tree expires
A victim in our place.
3 Transgressors of the deepest stain
In him salvation find;
His blood removes the foulest guilt,
His spirit heals the mind.
4 Our Jesus saves from sin and hell,
His words are true and sure,
And on this rock our faith may rest
Immoveably secure.
5 O let these Tidings be receiv'd,
With universal joy,
And let the high angel praise,
Our tuneful pow'rs employ,
6 "Glory to God, who gave his son"
To bear our shame and pain,
Hence peace on earth and grace to men
In endless blessings reign.
The gospel worthy of all acceptance
Creation and Providence
Author: Steel Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Lord when our Raptur'd thought surveys Lyrics: 1 Lord, when our Raptur'd thought surveys
Creation's beauties o'er,
All nature joins to teach thy praise,
And bid our souls adore.
2 Where'er we turn our gazing eyes,
Thy radiant footsteps shine;
Ten thousand pleasing wonders rise,
And speak their source divine.
3 The living tribes of countless forms,
In earth, and sea, and air,
The meanest flies the smallest worms,
Almighty power declare.
4 Thy wisdom, pow'r and goodness Lord
In all thy works appear;
And O! let man thy praise record,
Man, thy distinguish care.
5 Thy providence his constant guard,
When threatening woes impend,
Or will the impending dangers ward
Or timely succours lend.
6 On us that providence has shone,
With gentle smiling rays
O, may our lips and lives make known
Thy goodness and thy praise.
Creation and Providence
God's presence in his House
Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: My soul how lovely is the place Lyrics: 1 My soul how lovely is the place
To which thy God resorts!
'Tis heav'n to see his smiling face,
Though in his earthly courts.
2 There the great Monarch of the skies
His saving pow'r displays,
And light breaks in upon our eyes,
With kind and quick'ning rays.
3 With his rich gifts the heav'nly dove
Descends and fills the place,
While Christ reveals his wond'rous love
And sheds abroad his grace.
4 There mighty God thy words declare
The secrets of thy will;
And still we seek thy mercy there,
And sing thy praises still.
My heart and flesh cry out for thee,
While far from thine abode;
When shall I tread thy courts, and see
My Savior and my God?
The sparrow builds herself a nest,
And suffers no remove;
O make me, like the sparrows, blest,
To dwell but where I love.
To sit one day beneath thine eye,
And hear thy gracious voice,
Exceeds a whole eternity
Employed in carnal joys.
Lord, at thy threshold I would wait
While Jesus is within,
Rather than fill a throne of state,
Or live in tents of sin.
Could I command the spacious land,
And the more boundless sea,
For one blest hour at thy right hand
I'd give them both away.
Scripture: Psalm 84
God's presence in his House
For a clean Heart
Appears in 1,162 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: O for an heart to love my God! Lyrics: 1 O for an heart to love my GOD!
An heart from sin set free;
A heart that always feels thy blood
So freely shed for me!
2 A heart resign'd submissive, meek,
My dear Redeemer's throne;
Where only CHRIST is heard to speak,
Where JESUS reigns alone.
3 An humble, lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean;
Which neither life nor death can part
From him that dwells within.
4 An heart in every thought renew'd
And fill'd with love divine:
Perfect and right and pure and good,
A copy, LORD, of thine.
5 Thy tender heart is still the same,
And melts at human woe;
Send down thy grace, O blessed Lamb,
That I thy love may know.
6 Thy holy nature, LORD! impart;
Come quickly from above;
Write thy new name upon my heart,
Thy new best name of love.
For a clean Heart
Condescension of God
Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: O Lord, our Lord, how wond'rous great Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our Lord, how wond'rous great,
Is thine exalted name,
Let glories of thy heav'nly state,
Let men and babes proclaim.
2 When I behold your works on high,
The moon that rules the night,
And stars that well adorn the sky,
Those moving worlds of light.
3 Lord, what is man, or all his race,
Who dwells so far below,
That thou should'st visit him with grace,
And love my nature so?
4 That thine eternal Son should bear,
To take a mortal form?
Made lower than his angels are,
To save a dying worm?
5 Jesus, our Lord, how wond'rous great
Is thine exalted name!
The glories of thy heav'nly state
Let the whole earth proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 8

To keep his statutes still!
O that my GOD would grant me grace
To know and do his will!

Thy law upon my heart!
Nor let my tongue indulge deceit,
Nor act the liar's part.
3 From vanity turn off my eyes;
Let no corrupt design,
Nor covetous desires arise
Within this soul of mine.
4 Order my footsteps by thy word,
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, LORD,
But keep my conscience clear.
5 Make me to walk in thy commands,
'Tis a delightful road;
Nor let my head, or heart, or hands,
Offend against my GOD. Scripture: Psalm 119

Blind Bartimeus
Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Worship Hymns Before Sermon First Line: Sinful, and blind, and poor Lyrics: 1 Sinful, and blind, and poor,
And lost without thy grace,
Thy mercy I implore,
And wait to see thy face:
Begging I sit by the way-side,
And long to know the crucify'd.

Thou son of David hear,
If now thy passest by,
Stand still and call me near;
The darkness from my heart remove,
And shew me now thy pardoning love. Scripture: Luke 18:35-38
