Restoring and Preserving Grace
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #261 (1786) Topics: Angels present in churches; Angels present in churches First Line: With all my powers of heart and tongue Lyrics: 1 With all my powers of heart and tongue
I'll praise my Maker in my song;
Angels shall hear the notes I raise,
Approve the song, and join the praise.
2 [Angels that make thy church their care
Shall witness my devotions there,
While holy zeal directs my eyes
To thy fair temple in the skies.]
3 I'll sing thy truth and mercy, Lord,
I'll sing the wonders of thy word;
Not all the works and names below
So much thy power and glory show.
4 To God I cry'd when troubles rose;
He heard me, and subdu'd my foes:
He did my rising fears controul,
And strength diffus'd through all my soul.
5 The God of heaven maintains his state,
Frowns on the proud, and scorns the great;
But from his throne descends to bless
The humble souls that trust his grace.
6 Amidst a thousand snares I stand
Upheld and guarded by thy hand;
Thy words my fainting soul revive,
And keep my dying faith alive.
7 Grace will complete what grace begins,
To save from sorrows or from sins;
The work that wisdom undertakes,
Eternal mercy ne'er forsakes. Scripture: Psalm 138 Languages: English

Here, in Thy name, eternal God
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #291 (1899) Topics: Church nature of; Churches Dedication; Churches Erection Lyrics: 1 Here, in Thy name, eternal God,
We build this earthly house for Thee;
Oh, choose it for Thy fixed abode,
And guard it from all error free.
2 Here, when Thy people seek Thy face,
And dying sinners pray to live,
Hear Thou in heaven, Thy dwelling-place,
And when Thou hearest, Lord, forgive.
3 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim
The blessèd gospel of Thy Son,
Still be the power of His great name
Be mighty signs and wonders done.
4 Thy glory never hence depart;
Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone;
Thy kingdom come to every heart;
In every bosom fix Thy throne.
Amen.

Be taught the better way;

And pure devotion rise,
While round these hallowed walls the storm
Of earth-born passion dies.

Ministers abounding in the work of the Lord

Francis Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Church Associations or General Meetings of Churches and Ministers; Associations of Christians and churches Ministers abounding in the work etc. First Line: Before thy throne, eternal King Lyrics: 1 Before thy throne, eternal king,
Thy ministers their tribute bring,
Their tribute of united praise,
For heavenly news and peaceful days.
2 We sing the conquests of thy sword,
And publish loud thy healing word:
While angels sound thy glorious name,
Thy saving grace our lips proclaim.
3 Thy various service we esteem
Our sweet employ, our bliss supreme;
And, while we feel thy heavenly love,
We burn like seraphim above.
4 Nor seraphs there can ever raise
With us, an equal song of praise;
They are the noblest work of God,
But we— the purchase of his blood.
5 Still in thy work would we abound;
Still prune the vine, or plow the ground;
Thy sheep with wholesome pasture feed,
And watch them with unwearied heed.
6 Thou art our Lord, our life, our love,
Our care below, our crown above:
thy praise shall be our blest employ,
Thy presence our eternal joy. Languages: English
Ministers abounding in the work of the Lord
Lovest thou me? feed my lambs

Lyrics: 1 Do not I love thee, O my Lord?
Behold my heart and see:
And turn each cursed idol out,
That dares to rival thee.
2 Do not I love thee from my soul?
Then let me nothing love:
Dead be my heart to every joy,
When Jesus cannot move.
3 Is not thy name melodious still
To my attentive ear?
Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound
My Savior's voice to hear?
4 [Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock,
I would disdain to feed?
Hast thou a foe, before whose face
I fear thy cause to plead?
5 Would not mine ardent spirit vie
With angels round the throne,
To execute thy sacred will,
And make thy glory known?
6 Would not my heart pour forth its blood
In honor of thy name?
And challenge the cold hand of death
To damp th' immortal flame?]
7 Thou know'st I love thee, dearest Lord,
But Oh! I long to soar
Far from the sphere of mortal joys,
And learn to love thee more.
Scripture: John 21:15 Languages: English
Lovest thou me? feed my lambs

Attentive to our earnest prayer;
We plead for those who plead for thee,
Successful pleaders may they be?
2 How great their work, how vast their charge!
Do thou their anxious souls enlarge;
Their best acquirements are our gain,
We share the blessings they obtain.
3 Clothe then with Energy divine,
Their words, and let their words be thine:
To them thy sacred truth reveal,
Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal.
4 Teach them to sow the precious seed,
Teach them thy chosen flock to feed
Teach them immortal souls to gain—
Souls which will well reward their pain.
5 Let thronging multitudes around,
Hear from their lips the joyful sound;
In humble strains thy grace implore,
And feel thy new-creating power.
6 Let sinners break their massy chains,
Distressed souls forget their pains;
Let light thro' distant realms be spread,
And Zion rear her drooping head.

Dost thou exalted shine;
What can my poverty bestow,
When all the worlds are thine?

The partners of thy grace;
And wilt confess their humble names
Before thy Father's face.
4 In them thou may'st be cloth'd and fed,
And visited and cheer'd;
And in their accents of distress,
My Savior's voice is heard.
5 Thy face, with rev'rence and with love,
We in thy poor would see;
O let us rather beg our bread
Than keep it back from thee. Scripture: Matthew 25:40 Languages: English

Longing for the spread of the Gospel
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDXXVIII (1792) Topics: The Church Associations or General Meetings of Churches and Ministers; Associations of Christians and churches Spread of the gospel longed for First Line: O'er the gloomy hills of darkness Lyrics: 1 O'er the gloomy hills of darkness,
Look, my soul, be still, and gaze,
All the promises do travail
With a glorious day of grace:
Blessed Jubilee,
Let thy glorious morning dawn.
2 Let the Indian, let the Negro,
Let the rude Barbarian see,
That divine and glorious conquest
Once obtain'd on calvary;
Let the gospel
Loud resound from pole to pole.
3 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness,
Grant them, Lord, the glorious light,
And from eastern coast to western,
May the morning chase the night,
And redemption,
Freely purchas'd, win the day.
4 May the glorious day approaching,
From eternal darkness dawn,
And the everlasting gospel
Spread abroad thy holy name;
All the borders
Of the great Immanuel's land.
5 Fly abroad thou mighty gospel
Win and conquer, never cease;
May thy lasting wide dominions
Multiply, and still increase;
Sway thy sceptre,
Savior, all the world around.
