A song of praise to Christ

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CDLXXXIX (1792) First Line: Come every pious heart Lyrics: 1 Come, every pious heart That loves the savior’s name, Your noblest powers exert To celebrate his fame; Tell all above, and all below; That debt of love, to him you owe. 2 Such was his zeal for God, and such his love for you, He nobly undertook What Gabriel could not do: His every deed of love and grace All words exceed, and thoughts surpass. 3 He left his starry crown And laid His robes aside; On wings of love came down, And wept, and bled, and died: What he endur'd, O who can tell? To save our souls from death and hell. 4 From the dark grave he rose, The mansions of the dead; And thence his mighty foes In glorious triumph led: Up thro' the sky the conqueror rode; And reigns on high, the savior God. 5 From thence he’ll quickly come, His chariot will not stay, And bear our spirits home To realms of endless day: There shall we see his lovely face, And ever be in his embrace. 6 Jesus, we ne’er can pay The debt we owe thy love; Yet, tell us how we may Our gratitude approve: Our hearts, our all, to thee we give: The gift, tho' small, thou wilt receive.

I see the blessed fair one bend, And stoop to embrace me from the skies! 2 O! 'tis a thought would melt a rock, And make an heart of Iron move, That those sweet lips, that heavenly look Should seek and wish a mortal love! 3 I was a traitor doom'd to fire, Bound to sustain eternal pains; He flew on wings of strong desire, Assum'd my guilt and took my chains. 4 Infinite grace! almighty charms! Stand in amaze, ye rolling skies! Jesus the God, extends his arms, Hangs on a cross of love, and dies. 5 Did pity ever stoop so low Dress'd in divinity and blood? Was ever rebel courted so, In groans of an expiring God? 6 Again he lives, and spreads his hands, Hands that were nail'd to torturing smart; "By these dear wounds," says he; and stands, And prays to clasp me to his heart. 7 Sure I must love; or are my ears Still deaf, nor will my passions move? Lord! melt this stubborn heart to tears; This heart shall yield to death or love.

Grateful recollection, Ebenezer

Author: Robinson Hymnal: SHBA1792 #DIX (1792) First Line: Come, thou fount of every blessing Lyrics: 1 Come, thou fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing thy grace! Streams of mercy never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise: Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above: Praise the mount — O fix me on it, Mount of God's unchanging love. 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer, Hither by thy help I come; And I hope by thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home: Jesus sought me when a stranger Wandering from the fold of God; He to save my soul from danger, Interpos'd with precious blood. 3 O! to grace how great a debtor, Daily I'm constrain'd to be! Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to thee! Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; Prone to leave the God I love - Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it, Seal it from thy courts above.
