Ye lands of endless day! Swift on my view your prospect pours, And drives my griefs away. 3 There's a delightful clearness now, My clouds of doubt are gone, Fled is my former darkness too, My fears are all withdrawn. 4 Short is the passage--short the space Between my home and me; There! there behold the radiant place! How near the mansions be! 6 Immortal wonders! boundless things! In those dear worlds appear; Prepare me, Lord, to stretch my wings, And in these glories share.

Christ exalted to the Kingdom

Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: King is the Care of Heaven First Line: David rejoic'd in God his Strength Lyrics: 1 David rejoic'd in God his Strength, Rais'd to the throne by special Grace; But Christ the Son appears at length, Fulfils the Triumph and the Praise. 2 How great is the Messiah's Joy In the Salvation of thy Hand! Lord, thou hast rais'd his Kingdom high, And giv'n the World to his Command. 3 Thy Goodness grants whate'er he will, Nor doth the least Request with-hold; Blessings of Love prevent him still, And Crowns of Glory, not of Gold. 4 Honour and Majesty divine Around his sacred Temple shine; Blest with the Favour of thy Face, And Length of everlasting Days. 5 Thine Hand shall find out all his Foes; And as a fiery Oven glows With raging Heat and living Coals, So shall thy Wrath devour their Souls. Scripture: Psalm 21:1-9

Correction for Sin, and Release by Prayer

Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Saints conducted to heaven First Line: From Age to Age exalt his Name Lyrics: 1 From Age to Age exalt his Name, GOD and his Grace are still the same; He fills the hungry Soul with food, And feeds the Poor with ev'ry Good. 2 But if their Hearts rebel and rise Against the GOD that rules the Skies, If they reject his heav'nly Word, And slight the Counsels of the Lord 3 He'll bring their Spirits to the Ground, And no Deliv'rer shall be found; Laden with Grief they waste their Breath In Darkness and the Shades of Death. 4 Then to the Lord they raise their Cries, He makes the dawning Light arise, And scatters all that dismal Shade That hung so heavy round their Head. 5 He cuts the Bars of Brass in two, And lets the smiling Pris'ners through, Takes off the Load of Guilt and Grief, And gives the lab'ring Soul Relief. 6 O may the Sons of Men record The wond'rous Goodness of the Lord; How great his Works! how kind his Ways! Let ev'ry Tongue pronounce his Praise. Scripture: Psalm 107

Colonies planted; or, Nations blest and punished: a Psalm for New-England

Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Saints conducted to heaven First Line: When God provok'd with daring Crimes Lyrics: 1 When God provok'd with daring Crimes, Scourges the Madness of the Times, He turns their Fields to barren Sand, And dries the Rivers from the Land. 2 His Word can raise the Springs again, And make the wither'd Mountains green, Send show'ry Blessings from the Skies, And Harvests in the Desarts rise. 3 [Where nothing dwelt but Beasts of Prey, Or Men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th' Opprest and Poor repair, And builds them Towns and Cities there. 4 They sow the Fields, and Trees they plant, Whose yearly Fruit supplies their Want; Their Race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their Wealth increases with their Flocks. 5 Thus they are blest; but if they sin, He lets the heathen Nations in; A savage Crew invades their Lands, Their Princes die by barb'rous Hands. 6 Their captive Sons expos'd to Scorn, Wander unpity'd and forlorn; The Country lies unfenc'd, untill'd, And Desolation spreads the Field. 7 Yet if the humbled Nation mourns, Again his dreadful Hand he turns; Again he makes their Cities thrive, And bids the dying Churches live.] 8 The Righteous, with a joyful Sense, Admire the Works of Providence; And Tongues of Atheists shall no more Blaspheme the GOD that Saints adore. 9 How few with pious Care record These wond'rous dealings of the Lord; But wise Observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just, and kind. Scripture: Psalm 107

Come, let us lift our joyful Eyes

Appears in 200 hymnals Topics: Heaven and Earth Lyrics: 1 Come, let us lift our joyful Eyes Up to the Court above, And smile to see our Father there Upon a Throne of Love. 2 Once 'twas a Seat of dreadful Wrath, And shot devouring Flame Our God appear'd Consuming Fire, And Vengeance was his Name. 3 Rich were the Drops of Jesus' Blood That calm'd his frowning Face, That sprinkled o'er the burning Throne, And turn'd the Wrath to Grace. 4 Now we may bow before his feet, And venture near the Lord; No fiery Cherub guards his Seat, Nor double-flaming Sword. 5 The peaceful Gates of heav'nly Bliss Are open'd by the Son; High let us raise our Notes of Praise, And reach th' Almighty Throne. 6 To Thee Ten Thousand Thanks we bring, Great Advocate on high; And Glory to th' eternal King, That lays his Fury by.
