Noah preserved in the Ark, and the believer in Christ

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Perseverance First Line: The deluge at the almighty's call Lyrics: 1 The deluge, at th’ almighty’s call, In what impetuous streams it fell! Swallow'd the mountains in its rage, And swept a guilty world to hell. 2 In vain the tallest sons of pride Fled from the close-pursuing wave, Nor could their mightiest towers defend, Nor swiftness ’scape, nor courage save. 3 How dire the wreck? how loud the roar: How shrill the universal cry Of millions in the last despair, Re-echo from the lowering sky! 4 Yet Noah, humble happy saint, Surrounded with the chosen few, Sat in his ark, secure from fear, And sang the grace that steer'd him ’thro. 5 So may I sing, in Jesus safe, When storms of vengeance round me fall, Conscious how high my hopes are fix'd, Beyond what shakes this earthly ball. 6 Enter thine ark, while patience waits, Nor ever quit that sure retreat; Then the wide flood, which buries earth, Shall waft thee to a fairer seat. 7 Nor wreck nor ruin there is seen; There not a wave of trouble rolls; But the bright rainbow round the throne Seals endless life to all their souls. Scripture: 1 Peter 3:20-21 Languages: English

By earth and heaven confest, I bow and bless the sacred Name, For ever bless'd. 2 The God of Abram praise, At whose supreme command From earth I rise and seek the joys At his right hand. I'd all on earth forsake, Its wisdom, fame, and power; And him my only portion make, My shield and tower. 3 The God of Abram praise, Whose all-sufficient grace Shall guide me all my happy days, In all his ways: He calls a worm his friend? He calls himself my God! And he shall save me to the end, Thro' Jesu's blood. 4 He by himself hath sworn, I on his oath depend, I shall, on Eagle's wings up-borne, To heav'n ascend: I shall behold his face, I shall his power adore: And sing the wonders of his grace For evermore! Part the Second. 5 Tho' nature's strength decay, And earth and hell withstand; To Canaan's bounds I urge my way At God's command; The watry deep I pass, With Jesus in my view, And thro' the howling wilderness My way pursue. 6 The goodly land I see, With peace and plenty blest; The land of sacred liberty, And endless rest. There milk and honey flow, And oil and wine abound; And trees of life for ever grow, With mercy crown'd. 7 There dwells the Lord our King, The Lord our righteousness; Triumphant o'er the world and sin, The Prince of Peace. On Sion's sacred height His kingdom still maintains; And glorious, with his saints in light, For ever reigns. 8 The ransom'd nations bow, Before the Savior's face, Joyful their radiant crowns they throw, O'erwhelm'd with grace: He shews his fears of love; They kindle to a flame, And sound thro' all the world above, "The slaughter'd Lamb." 9 The whole triumphant host; Give thanks to God on high: "Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!" They ever cry. Hail Abram's God and mine, I join the heavenly lays: All might and majesty are thine, And endless praise. Languages: English

Our ransom he paid! In his merit array'd, We attain to the glory for which we were made. 4 Sweet spirit of grace, Thy mercy we bless For thy eminent share in the council of peace: Great agent divine, To restore us is thine, And cause us afresh in thy likeness to shine. 5 O God, ’tis thy part To convince and convert: To give a new life, and create a new heart: By thy presence and grace We’re upheld in our race, And are kept in thy love to the end of our days. 6 Father, Spirit and Son Agree thus in one, The salvation of those he has mark'd for his own: Let us too agree To glorify thee, Thou ineffable one, thou adorable three?

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXXII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Regeneration First Line: To God, my Savior and my king Lyrics: 1 To God, my Savior and my king, Fain would my soul her tribute bring Join me, ye saints, in songs of praise, For ye have known and felt his grace. 2 Wretched and helpless once I lay, Just breathing all my life away; He saw me welt'ring in my blood, And felt the pity of a God. 3 With peed he fled to my relief, Bound up my wounds, and sooth'd my grief; Pour'd joys divine into my heart, And bade each anxious fear depart. 4 These proofs of love, my dearest lord, Deep in my breast I will record: The life which I from thee receive, To thee, behold, I freely give. 5 My heart and tongue shall tune thy praise, Thro' the remainder of my days; And when I join the powers above, My soul shall better sing thy love.

God ready to forgive; or, Despair sinful

Author: Stogdon Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XC (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Pardon First Line: What mean these jealousies and fears Lyrics: 1 What mean these jealousies and fears, As if the Lord were loth to save, Or lov'd to see us drench'd in tears, Or sink with sorrow to the grave? 2 Does he want slaves to grace his throne? Or crush them with an iron rod? Loves he the deep despairing groan? Is he a tyrant, or a God. 3 Not all the sins which we have wrought So much his tender bowels grieve, As this unkind injurious thought, That he's unwilling to forgive. 4 What tho' our crimes are black as night, Or glowing like the crimson morn, Immanuel's blood will make them white As snow thro' the pure aether borne. 5 Lord, 'tis amazing grace we won, And well may rebel-worms surprise, But was not thy incarnate son A most amazing sacrifice? 6 "I've found a ransom," saith the lord, "No humble penitent shall die;" Lord, we would now believe thy word, And thy unbounded mercies try!

The lost Sheep found; or, Joy in Heaven on the Conversion of a Sinner

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Regeneration First Line: When some kind shepherd from his fold Lyrics: 1 When some kind shepherd from his fold, Has lost a straying sheep, Through vales, o'er hills, he anxious roves, And climbs the mountain's steep. 2 But O the joy! the transport sweet! When he the wand'rer finds; Up in his arms he takes his charge, And to his shoulder binds. 3 Homeward he hastes to tell his joys, And make his bliss complete: The neighbours hear the news, and all The joyful shepherd greet. 4 Yet how much greater is the joy When but one sinner turns; When the poor wretch with broken heart, His sins and errors mourns. 5 Pleas'd with the news, the saints below, In songs their tongues employ; Beyond the skies, the tidings go, And Heaven is fill'd with joy. 6 Well-pleas'd the Father sees and hears The conscious sinner weep; Jesus receives him in his arms, And owns him for his sheep. 7 Nor angels can their joys contain, But kindle with new fire: "A wandering sheep's return'd," they sing, And strike the sounding lyre.

Or shall we wrap us in the shades Of midnight and the grave? 2 Is there no shelter from the eye Of a revenging God? Jesus, to thy dear wounds we fly, Bedew us with thy blood, 3 Those guardian drops our souls secure, And wash away our sins; Eternal justice frowns no more, And conscience smiles within. 4 We bless that wondrous purple stream That cleanses every stain; Yet are our souls but half redeem'd, If sin, the tyrant, reign. 5 Lord, blast his empire with thy breath, That cursed throne must fall; Ye flattering plagues, that work our death, Fly, for we hate you all.

Human righteousness insufficieint to justify

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXXIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Justification First Line: Wherewith O Lord, shall I draw near Lyrics: 1 Wherewith, O Lord, shall I draw near, Or bow myself before thy face? How in thy purer eyes appear? What shall I bring to gain thy grace? 2 Will gifts delight the Lord most high? Will multiply'd oblations please? Thousands of rams his favor buy, Or slaughter'd hecatombs appease. 3 Can these assuage the wrath of God? Can these wash out my guilty stain? Rives of oil, or seas of blood, Alas! they all must flow in vain. 4 What have I then wherein to trust? I nothing have, I nothing am; Excluded is my ev'ry boast, My glory swallow'd up in shame. 5 Guilty, I stand before thy face; My sole desert, is hell and wrath; 'Twere just the sentence should take place, But O, I plead my Savior's death! 6 I plead the merits of thy son Who died for sinners on the tree; I plead his righteousness alone, O put the spotless robe on me.
