The Prodigal Son
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns #CCXLVII (1802) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Parable of the Prodigal son; Sinner Departing from God; Sinner Under conviction First Line: See the rash youth, defil'd with sin Lyrics: Part I
The sinner departing from God:
1 See the rash youth, defil'd with sin,
Hear how he claims with haughty voice,
To have his portion, and begin
In vice and madness to rejoice.
2 His father gave with bounteous hands,
Richly were all his wants supply'd;
Thankless he took; in foreign lands
Wasted in pleasure, pomp and pride.
3 In lust and wine he spent the whole,
Forgot his Father and his home;
Nor thought nor felt he had a soul
Expos'd to meet the wrath to come.
4 The giddy crowd that round him throng,
In every sinful folly join;
Approve the mirth and chant the song
That casts contempt on things divine.
5 Thus lur'd by charms of flattering vice,
The rebel sees his substance fled;
His friends forsake, his wants arise,
For sin has struck his comforts dead.
Part II
The sinner under conviction:
6 With dying want the sinner cries,
Nor thinks rebellion makes his pain;
To strangers, far from home, applies,
Nor seeks his Father's grace to gain.
7 See the poor wretch with hunger prest,
Sunk low with swine to have a share;
Alas! how far from peaceful rest,
Tortur'd by conscience, guilt and fear.
8 'Tis thus the God of sov'reign grace
Begins to bring a rebel home;
The spirit shews his wretched case,
And points a judgment still to come.
9 Now self-condemn'd to works he flies
And thinks to cleanse a guilty mind,
Still far from penitence, which cries
To God for help, and feels resign'd.
10 Blinded by sin, to duty lost,
He grasps the husks and hates the bread;
Hill all his expectations crost,
His hopes from self and means are fled.
Part III
The Sinner brought to true repentance:
11 Now see the Rebel raise his eyes,
From dreaming folly just awake;
His soul relents with strange surprise,
And all his heart begins to break.
12 I starve, he cries, nor can I bear
This death I feel in sinful lands,
While servants of my Father share
The liberal bounty of his hands.
13 With deep repentance on my tongue,
I'll go and seek my Father's face,
Unworthy to be call'd a son,
I'll only ask a servant's place.
14 I'll tell him how I've griev'd his love,
And basely fled his holy sight,
How I've provok'd all heav'n above,
Nor thought or done a thing that's right.
15 Far off his Father saw him come,
And o'er him all his bowels yearn'd;
He rose to bless and greet his son,
And crown with grace his safe return.
16 The Rebel's heart with sorrow fill'd,
Bled for the crimes, which he had done:
Through all the Courts the triumph smil'd,
And sang the Father's grace alone.

Immortal praise we give,
Who dost an act of grace proclaim,
And bid us rebels live.
2 Immortal honor to the son,
Who makes thine anger cease;
Our lives he ransom'd with his own,
And dy'd to make our peace.
3 To thy almighty spirit be
Immortal glory given,
Whose influence brings us near to thee,
And trains us up for Heaven.
4 Let men, with their united voice,
Adore th' eternal God,
And spread his honors and their joys,
Through nations far abroad.
5 Let faith, and love, and duty join,
One general song to raise;
And saints in earth and Heaven combine,
In harmony and praise.

The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own:
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity.
2. Crown Him the Lord of love;
Behold His hands and side,
Those wounds yet visible above
In beauty glorified;
No angels in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye
At mysteries so bright.
3. Crown Him the Lord of peace,
Whose power a sceptre sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
And all be prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end,
And round His pierced feet
Fair flowers of Paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.
4. Crown Him the Lord of years,
The Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
Ineffably sublime
All hail! Redeemer, hail!
For Thou hast died for me;
Thy praise shall never, never fail.
Throughout eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA
