Had we the tongues of Greeks or Jews

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXXV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Had we the tongues of Greeks or Jews, And nobler speech that Angels use, If love be wanting, we am found Like tinkling brass, an empty sound. 2 Were we inspir'd to preach and tell All that is done in heaven and hell, Or could our faith the world remove, Still we are nothing, without love. 3 Should we distribute all our store To cheer the bowels of the poor, Or give our bodies to the flame, To gain a martyr's glorious name: 4 If love to God and love to man Be absent, all our hopes are vain; Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal, The work of love can e'er fulfil.

Happy is he who fears the Lord

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXXI (1789) Lyrics: 1 Happy is he who fears the Lord, And follows his commands; Who lends the poor without reward, Or gives with lib'ral hands. 2 As pity dwells within his breast To all the sons of need, So God shall answer his request With blessings on his seed. 3 No evil tidings shall surprise His well establish'd mind; His soul to God, his refuge flies, And leaves his fears behind. 4 In times of general distress, Some beams of light shall shine, To shew the world his righteousness, And give him peace divine. 5 His works of piety and love Remain before the Lord; Honour on earth, and joys above Shall be his sure reward.

Hark the glad sound, the Saviour comes!

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CLIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Hark the glad sound, the Saviour comes! The Saviour, promis'd long; Let ev'ry heart a throne prepare, And ev'ry voice a song! 2 On him the Spirit, largely shed, Exerts its sacred fire; Wisdom and might, and zeal and love, His holy breast inspire. 3 He comes, the pris'ners to relieve, In Satan's bondage held; The gates of brass before him burst, The iron fetters yield. 4 He comes, from thickest clouds of vice To clear the darken'd mind; And from on high, a saving light To pour upon the blind. 5 He comes the broken hearts to bind, The bleeding soul to cure; And, with the treasures of his grace, T' enrich the humble poor.

How blest are they, how truly wise

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CL (1789) Lyrics: 1 How blest are they, how truly wise, Who learn and keep the sacred road! Happy the men whom Heav'n employs To turn rebellious hearts to God! 2 While these declare the written word And prove their doctrine from the Lord, To him, in them respect we'll pay And bless the doctrines they convey. 3 Let them instruct we would be wise; Their just reproofs we'll not despise; But meet with love their faithful cares, And joy with them our fervent prayers. 4 May peace from heav'n upon them rest, And be their labours greatly blest, To save from sin, sad hearts relieve— And may they share the joys they give.
