Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #51 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love, Unmerited and free, Delights our evil to remove, And help our misery. 2 Thou waitest to be gracious still; Thou dost with sinners bear, That, sav'd, we may thy goodness feel, And all thy grace declare. 3 Thy goodness and thy truth to me To ev'ry soul, abound, A vast, unfathomable sea, Where all our thoughts are drown'd. 4 Its streams the whole creation reach, So plenteous is the store; Enough for all, enough for each, Enough for evermore. 5 Faithful, O Lord, thy mercies are! A rock that cannot move: A thousand promises declare Thy constancy of love. 6 Throughout the universe it reigns, Unalterably sure; And, while the truth of God remains, His goodness must endure.

My God, thy boundless love I praise

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #52 (1814) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 My God, thy boundless love I praise; How bright on high its glories blaze! How sweetly bloom below! It streams from thy eternal throne; Through heav'n its joys for ever run, And o'er the earth they flow. 2 'Tis love that paints the purple morn, And bids the clouds, in air upborne, Their genial drops distil; In ev'ry vernal beam it glows, And breathes in ev'ry gale that blows, And glides in ev'ry rill. 3 It robes in cheerful green the ground, And pours its flowery beauties round, Whose sweets perfume the gale; Its bounties richly spread the plain, The blushing fruit, the golden grain, And smile on ev'ry vale. 4 But in thy gospel see it shine With grace and glories more divine, Proclaiming sins forgiv'n. There faith, bright cherus, points the way To realms of everlasting day, And opens all her heav'n. 5 Then let the love, that makes me blest, With cheerful praise inspire my breast, And ardent gratitude; And all my thoughts and passions tend To thee, my Father and my Friend, My soul's eternal good.

Earth, seas, and stars, your anthems raise, All vocal with your Maker's praise! 5 Join, O my soul! the gen'ral song; To thee its sweetest notes belong. Blest above all by love divine, To praise is eminently thine. Topics: Character and Perfections of God Languages: English

Sweet is the memory of thy grace

Let age to age thy righteousness In sounds of glory sing. 2 God reigns on high, but not confines His goodness to the skies. Through the whole earth his bounty shines, And ev'ry want supplies. 3 With longing eyes thy creatures wait On thee for daily food; Thy lib'ral hand provides their meat, And fills their mouths with good. 4 How kind are thy compassions, Lord! How slow thine anger moves! But soon He sends His pard'ning word To cheer the souls He loves. 5 Creatures, with all their endless race, Thy pow'r and praise proclaim; But saints, who taste thy richer grace Delight to bless thy name.

Our souls with pleasing wonder view

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #55 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our souls with pleasing wonder view The bounties of thy grace; How much bestow'd, how much reserv'd, For those that seek thy face. 2 Thy lib'ral hand with worldly bliss Oft makes their cup run o'er; And in the cov'nant of thy love They find diviner store. 3 Here mercy hides their num'rous sins; Here grace their souls renews; Here hope, and love, and joy, and peace Their heav'nly beams diffuse. 4 But oh! what treasures yet unknown Are lodg'd in worlds to come! If these th'enjoyments of the way, How happy is their home! 5 And what shall mortal worms reply? Or how such goodness own? But 'tis our joy, that, Lord, to thee Thy servants' hearts are known. 6 Since time's too short, all-gracious God, To utter half thy praise; Loud, to the honour of thy name, Eternal hymns we'll raise.

My soul, repeat his praise

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #56 (1814) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat his praise, Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And, when His strokes are felt, His strokes are fewer than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heav’ns are rais'd, Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of his grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His power subdues our sins; And his forgiving love Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove. 5 The pity of the Lord, To those that fear His name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 6 Our days as are the grass, Or like the morning flower! If one sharp blast sweep o’er the field It withers in an hour. 7 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children’s children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

O thou, the wretched's sure retreat

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #57 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O thou, the wretched's sure retreat, who dost their cares controul, And, with the cheerful smile of peace, Revive the fainting soul! 2 Did ever thy propitious ear The humble plea disdain? Or when did plaintive mis'ry sigh, Or supplicate, in vain? 3 Opprest with grief and shame, dissolv'd In penitential tears, Thy goodness calms our anxious doubts, And dissipates our fears. 4 Now life from thy refreshing grace, Our sinking hearts receive; Thy gentlest, best-lov'd attribute, To pity and forgive. 5 From that blest source, propitious hope Appears serenely bright, And sheds her soft and cheering beam O'er sorrow's dismal night. 6 Our hearts adore thy mercy, Lord, And bless the friendly ray, Which ushers in the smiling morn Of everlasting day.

Up to the Lord, who reigns on high

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #58 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Up to the Lord, who reigns on high, And views the nations from afar, Let everlasting praises fly, And tell how large his bounties are. He overrules all mortal things, And manages our mean affairs; On humble souls the King of kings Bestows his counsels and his cares. Our sorrows and our tears we pour Into the bosom of our God; He hears us in the mournful hour, And helps to bear the heavy load. In vain might lofty princes try Such condescension to perform; For worms were never rais'd so high Above their meanest fellow-worm. O could our thankful hearts devise A tribute equal to thy grace, To the third heav'n our songs should rise, And teach the golden harps thy praise.

Let ev'ry tongue thy goodness speak

Hymnal: CHAL1814 #59 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let ev'ry tongue thy goodness speak, Thou sov'reign Lord of all: Thy strength'ning hands uphold the weak, And raise the poor that fall. 2 When sorrow bows the spirit down, Or virtue lies distress'd, Beneath some proud oppressor’s frown, Thou giv’st the mourners rest. 3 Thou know'st the pains His servants feel, Thou hear'st thy children cry; And, their best wishes to fulfil, His grace is ever nigh. 4 His mercy never shall remove From men of heart sincere; Thou sav'st the souls, whose humble love Is join'd with holy fear. 5 My lips shall dwell upon thy praise, And spread thy fame abroad. Let all the sons of Adam rise The honours of their God. Topics: Character and Perfections of God Languages: English

Heav'n with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear. 2 Grace first contriv'd a way To save rebellious man; And all the steps that grace display Which drew the wondrous plan. 3 Grace leads my roving feet To tread the heav'nly road; And new supplies each hour I meet, While pressing on to God. 4 Grace all the work shall crown, Through everlasting days; It lays in heav'n the topmost stone, And well deserves the praise.
