The Pleasures of Social Worship

Author: Stennett Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CLXX (1793) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: How charming is the place Lyrics: 1 How charming is the place Where my Redeemer God, Unveils the beauties of his face, And sheds his love abroad! 2 Not the fair palaces To which the great resort, Are once to be compar'd with this, Where Jesus holds his court. 3 Here on the mercy-seat, With radiant glory crown'd, Our joyful eyes behold him sit, And smile on all around. 4 To him their prayers and cries Each humble soul presents; He listens to their broken sighs, And grants them all their wants. 5 To them his sovereign will He graciously imparts: And in return accepts with smiles, The tribute of their hearts. 6 Give me, O Lord, a place Within thy blest abode, Among the children of thy grace, The servants of my God.

A Prospect of the Resurrection

Author: Watts Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXCVII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How long shall death, the tyrant, reign Lyrics: 1 How long shall death the tyrant reign, And triumph o'er the just; While the rich blood of martyrs slain Lies mingled with the dust? 2 Lo, I behold the scatter'd shades, The dawn of Heaven appears; The sweet immortal morning spreads, Its blushes round the spheres. 3 I see the Lord of glory come, And flaming guards around; The skies divide to make him room, The trumpet shakes the ground. 4 I hear the voice, "Ye dead arise!" And lo the graves obey; And waking saints with joyful eyes Salute th' expected day. 5 They leave the dust, and on the wing Rise to the midway air, In shining garments meet theirK, And low adore him there. 6 O may our humble spirits stand Amongst them cloath'd in white! The meanest place at his right hand Is infinite delight. 7 How will our joy and wonder rise, When our returning King Shall bear us homeward thro' the skies, On love's triumphant wing!

Time and Eternity

Author: Steele Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXCI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How long shall earth's alluring toys Lyrics: 1 How long shall earth's alluring toys Detain our hearts and eyes, Regardless of immortal joys, And strangers to the skies? 2 These transient scenes will soon decay, They fade upon the sight; And quickly will their brightest day Be lost in endless night. 3 Their brightest day, alas! how vain! With conscious sighs we own; While clouds of sorrow, care, and pain, O'er shade the smiling noon. 4 O could our thoughts and wishes fly Above these gloomy shades, To those bright worlds beyond the sky, Which sorrow ne'er invades. 5 There joys unseen by mortal eyes, Or reason's feeble ray, In ever blooming prospects rise, Unconscious of decay. 6 Lord, send a beam of light divine, To guide our upward aim! With one reviving touch of thine Our languid hearts inflame. 7 Then shall, on faith's sublimest wing, Our ardent wishes rise To those bright scenes, where pleasures spring Immortal in the skies.

Pardoning Love

Author: Steele Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXIII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How oft, alas, this wretched heart Lyrics: 1 How oft, alas, this wretched heart Has wandered from the Lord! How oft my roving thoughts depart, Forgetful of his word! 2 Yet sovereign mercy calls, return: Dear Lord, and may I come! My vile ingratitude I mourn: O take the wanderer home. 3 And canst thou, wilt thou yet forgive, And bid my crimes remove? And shall a pardon'd rebel live To speak thy wondrous love! 4 Almighty grace, thy healing power How glorious, how divine! That can to life and bliss restore So vile a heart as mine. 5 Thy pardoning love, so free, so sweet, Dear Saviour, I adore; O keep me at thy sacred feet, And let me rove no more.

Prayer answered by Crosses

Author: Newton Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXLII (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: I ask'd the Lord that I might grow Lyrics: 1 I ask'd the Lord that I might grow In faith, and love, and ev'ry grace; Might more of his salvation know, And seek, more earnestly, his face. 2 'Twas he who taught me thus to pray, And he, I trust, has answer'd prayer; But it has been in such a way As almost drove me to despair. 3 I hop'd that in some favour'd hour, At once he'd answer my request; And by his love's constraining power, Subdue my sins, and give me rest. 4 Instead of this, he made me feel The hidden evils of my heart; And let the angry powers of hell Assault my soul in every part. 5 Yea more, with his own mind he seem'd Intent to aggravate my woe; Cross'd all the fair designs I schem'd, Blasted my goards, and laid me low. 6 Lord, why is this, I trembling cry'd, Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death? "'Tis in this way, the Lord reply'd, "I answer prayer for grace and faith. 7 "These inward trials I employ, "From self, and pride, to set thee free; "And break thy schemes of earthly joy, "That thou may'st seek thy ALL in me."
