Eternity, joyful and treemndous

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXCII (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Eternity is just at hand Lyrics: 1 Eternity is just at hand; And shall I waste my ebbing sand, And careless view departing day, And throw my inch of time away? 2 Eternity, tremendous sound! To guilty souls a dreadful wound; But O! if Christ and heaven be mine, How sweet the accents! how divine! 3 Be this my chief, my only care, My high pursuit, my ardent prayer, An interest in the Savioru's blood, My pardon seal'd and peace with God. 4 But should my brightest hopes be vain, The rising doubt, how sharp its pain! My fears, O gracious God, remove, Confirm my title to thy love. 5 Search, Lord, O search my inmost heart, And light, and hope, and joy impart, From guilt and error set me free, And guide me safe to heaven and thee.

Faith

Author: Beddome Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXXII (1793) First Line: Faith— 'tis a precious grace Lyrics: 1 Faith— 'tis a precious grace, Where'er it is bestow'd! It boasts of a celestial birth, And is the gift of God! 2 Jesus it owns a king, An all-atoning priest; It claims no merit of its own, But finds it all in Christ. 3 To him it leads the soul, When fill'd with deep distress; Flies to the fountain of his blood, And trusts his righteousness. 4 Since 'tis thy work alone, And that divinely free, Lord, send the Spirit of thy Son To work this faith in me.

The Forerunner

Author: Medley Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XXXVIII (1793) First Line: Far, far beyond these lower skies Lyrics: 1 Far, far beyond these lower skies, Up to the glories all his own, Where we by faith lift up our eyes, There Jesus our forerunner's GONE. 2 Amidst the shining hosts above, Where his bless'd smile new pleasure gives, Where all is wonder, joy, and love, There Jesus our forerunner LIVES. 3 High on his throne of heavenly light Eternal glories he sustains, Whilst saints and angels bless the sight; There Jesus our forerunner REIGNS. 4 He lives, salvation to impart From sin and satan's cursed wiles, With love eternal in his heart; There Jesus our forerunner SMILES. 5 Before his heavenly Father's face For every saint he intercedes, And, with infallible success, There Jesus our forerunner PLEADS. 6 But O, 'tis this completes the whole, And all its bliss and glory proves, That wile eternal ages roll There Jesus our forerunner LOVES.

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CLXVII (1793) First Line: Father, is not thy promise pledg'd Lyrics: 1 Father, is not thy promise pledg'd To thine exalted Son, That thro' the nations of the earth, Thy word of life shall run? 2 "Ask, and I give the heathen lands For thine inheritance, And to the world's remotest shores Thine empire shall advance." 3 Hast thou not said the blinded Jews Shall their Redeemer own; While Gentiles to his standard croud, And bow before his throne? 4 When shall th' untutor'd Indian tribes, A dark bewilder'd race, Sit down at our Immanuel's Feet, And learn and feel his grace. 4 Are not all kingdoms, tribes, and tongues, Under th' expanse of heaven, To the dominion of thy Son, Without exception given? 5 From east to west, from north to south, Then be his name ador'd! Europe, with all thy millions, shout Hosannahs to thy Lord! 6 Asia and Africa, resound From shore to shore his fame; And thou, America, in songs, Redeeming love proclaim!

The Crucifixion

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XXVII (1793) First Line: Flow fast, my tears; the cause is great Lyrics: 1 Flow fast, my tears; the cause is great; This tribute claims an injur'd freind: One whom I long pursu'd with hate, And yet he lov'd me to the end. When death his terrors round me spread, And aim'd his arrows at my head, Christ interpos'd; the wound he bore, And bade the monster dare no more. 2 Fast flow, my tears, yet faster flow; Stream copious as yon purple tide; 'Twas I that dealt the deadly blow, I urg'd the hand that pierc'd his side. Ken pangs and agonizing smart, Oppress his soul, and rend his heart; While justice, arm'd with pow'r divine, Pours on his head what's due to mine. 3 Fast, and yet faster, flow my tears, Love breaks the heart, and drains the eyes His visage marr'd, tow'rds heav'n he rears, And, pleading for his murd'rer dies! My grief nor measure knows, nor end, Till he appears the sinner's friend! And gives me in an happy hour, To feel the risen Saviour's pow'r. Topics: Son Languages: English

How languid are its flames! 2 Accept our faint attempts to love, Our frailties, Lord, forgive; We would be like thy saints above, And praise thee while we live. 3 Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope, And fit us to ascend, Where the assembly ne'er breaks up, The Sabbath ne'er shall end: 4 Where we shall breathe in heavenly air, With heavenly lustre shine; Before the throne of God appear, And feast on Love divine: 5 Where we, in high seraphic strains, Shall all our powers employ; Delighted, range th' etherial plains, And take our fill of joy.
