When Pain and Anguish seize me, Lord

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #P119q (1766) Lyrics: 1 When Pain and Anguish seize me, Lord, All my Support is from thy Word: My Soul dissolves for Heaviness; Uphold me with thy strength'ning Grace. 2 The Proud have fram'd their Scoffs and Lies, They watch my Feet with envious Eyes, And tempt my Soul to Snares and Sin; Yet thy Commands I ne'er decline. 3 They hate me, Lord, without a Cause, They hate to see me love thy Laws; But I will trust and fear thy Name, Till Pride and Malice die with Shame.

Father, I bless thy gentle Hand

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #P119r (1766) Lyrics: 1 Father, I bless thy gentle Hand; How kind was thy chastising Rod, That forc'd my Conscience to a Stand, And brought my wand'ring Soul to GOD! 2 Foolish and vain, I went astray Ere I had felt thy Scourges, Lord, I left my Guide, and lost my Way, But now I love and keep thy Word. 3 'Tis good for me to wear the Yoke, For Pride is apt to rise and swell; 'Tis good to bear my Father's Stroke, That I might learn his Statutes well. 4 The Law that issues from thy Mouth Shall raise my chearful Passions more Than all the Treasures of the South, Or Western Hills of golden Ore. 5 Thy Hands have made my mortal Frame, Thy Spirit form'd my Soul within; Teach me to know thy wond'rous Name, And guard me safe from Death and Sin. 6 Then all that love and fear the Lord At my Salvation shall rejoice; For I have hoped in thy Word, And made thy Grace my only Choice.

Thou GOD of Love, thou ever-blest

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #P120 (1766) Lyrics: 1 Thou GOD of Love, thou ever-blest, Pity my suff'ring State; When wilt thou set my Soul at Rest, From Lips that love Deceit? 2 Hard Lot of mine! Ny Days are cast Among the Sons of Strife, Whose never-ceasing Brawlings waste My golden Hours of Life. 3 O might I fly to change my Place, How would I chuse to dwell In some wide lonesome Wilderness, And leave these Gates of Hell! 4 Peace is the Blessing that I seek, How lovely are its Charms! I am for Peace; but when I speak, They all declare for Arms. 5 New Passions still their Souls engage, And keep their Malice strong: What shall be done to curb thy Rage, O thou devouring Tongue! 6 Should burning Arrows smite thee through, Strict Justice would approve; But I had rather spare my Foe, And melt his Heart with Love.

Up to the Hills I lift mine Eyes

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #P121a (1766) Lyrics: 1 Up to the Hills I lift mine Eyes, Th' eternal Hills beyond the Skies; Thence all her Help my Soul derives; There my Almighty Refuge lies. 2 He lives; the everlasting GOD, That built the World, that spread the Flood; The Heav'ns, with all their Hosts he made, And the dark Regions of the Dead. 3 He guides our Feet, he guards our Way; His Morning Smiles bless all the Day; He spreads the Evening Veil, and keeps The silent Hours while Isr'el sleeps. 4 Isr'el, a Name divinely blest, May rise secure, securely rest; Thy holy Guardian's wakeful Eyes Admit no Slumber nor Surprize. 5 No Sun shall smite thy Head by Day, Nor the pale Moon with sickly Ray Shall blast thy Couch; no baleful Star Dart his malignant Fire so far. 6 Should Earth and Hell with Malice burn, Still thou shalt go, and still return Safe in the Lord; his heav'nly Care Defends thy Life from ev'ry Snare. 7 On thee foul Spirits have no Pow'r; And in thy last departing Hour, Angels that trace the airy Road, Shall bear thee homeward to thy GOD.

To Heav'n I lift my waiting Eyes

How did my Heart rejoice to hear

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #P122a (1766) Lyrics: 1 How did my Heart rejoice to hear My Friends devoutly say, "In Sion let us all appear, "And keep the solemn Day!" 2 I love her Gates, I love the Road; The Church adorn'd with Grace, Stands like a Palace built for GOD To shew his milder Face. 3 Up to her Courts with Joys unknown The holy Tribes repair; The Son of David holds his Throne, And sits in Judgment there. 4 He hears our Praises and Complaints: And while his awful Voice Divides the Sinners from the Saints, We tremble and rejoice. 5 Peace be within this sacred Place, And Joy a constant Guest! With holy Gifts and heav'nly Grace Be her Attendants blest! 6 My Soul shall pray for Sion still, While Life or Breath remains; There my best Friends, my Kindred dwell, There GOD my Saviour reigns.

How pleas'd and blest was I

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #P122b (1766) Lyrics: 1 How pleas'd and blest was I, To hear the People cry, "Come, let us seek our GOD to Day;" Yes, with a cheerful Zeal We haste to Sion's hill, And there our Vows and Honours pay. 2 Sion, thrice happy Place, Adorn'd with wond'rous Grace, And Walls of Strength embrace thee round; In thee our Tribes appear. To pray, and praise, and hear The sacred Gospel's joyful Sound. 3 There David's greater Son Has fix'd his Royal Throne, He sits for Grace and Judgment there: He bids the Saint be glad, He makes the Sinner sad, And humble Souls rejoice with Fear. 4 May Peace attend thy Gate, And Joy within thee wait To bless the Soul of every Guest! The Man that seeks thy Peace, And wishes thine Increase, A thousand Blessings on him rest! 5 My Tongue repeats her Vows, Peace to this sacred House!

O Thou whose Grace and Justice reign

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #P123 (1766) Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose Grace and Justice reign, Enthron'd above the Skies, To Thee our Hearts would tell their Pain, To Thee we lift our Eyes. 2 As Servants watch their Master's Hand, And fear the angry Stroke; Or Maids before their Mistress stand, And wait a peaceful Look: 3 So for our Sins we justly feel Thy Discipline, O GOD; Yet wait the gracious Moment still, Till thou remove thy Rod. 4 Those that in Wealth and Pleasure live, Our daily Groans deride, And thy Delays of Mercy give Fresh Courage to their Pride. 5 Our Foes insult us, but our Hope In thy Compassion lies; This Thought shall bear our Spirits up, That GOD will not despise.

Had not the Lord, may Isr'el say

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #P124 (1766) Lyrics: 1 Had not the Lord, may Isr'el say, Had not the Lord maintain'd our Side, When Men, to make our Lives a Prey, Rose like the Swelling of the Tide: 2 The swelling Tide had stopt our Breath, So fiercely did the Waters roll, We had been swallow'd deep in Death; Proud Waters had o'erwhelmed our Soul. 3 We leap for Joy, we shout and sing, Who just escap'd the fatal Stroke; So flies the Gird with chearful Wing, When once the Fowler's snare is broke. 4 For ever blessed be the Lord, Who broke the Fowler's cursed Snare, Who sav'd us from the murd'ring Sword, And made our Lives and Souls his Care. 5 Our Help is in Jehovah's Name, Who form'd the Earth, and built the Skies: He that upholds that wond'rous Frame Guards his own Church with watchful Eyes.
