Now shall our souls with pleasure raise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now shall our hearts with pleasure raise To our dear Lord a song of praise; We'll sing his love, his goodness tell, Our Saviour hath done all things well. 2 With pitying eyes he view'd our case, And came to save our ruin'd race; He conquer'd sin, and death, and hell; Our Jesus hath done all things well. 3 He undertook to bear our load, And bring us back again to God; To fit us with himself to dwell; Christ Jesus hath done all things well. 4 He will accomplish his design, And all things in himself combine, No more shall ever they rebel; Our Jesus will do all things well. 5 His work how great! his plan how vast! But when it all appears at last, it will our highest praise excel, For Jesus will do all things well. 6 When the creation is restor'd, And God shall be by all ador'd, How loudly will the triumph swell; Our Jesus hath done all things well! 7 Sin, death, and hell, will Christ destroy, And fill the universe with joy; His love shall then each voice compel To cry, "He hath done all things well." 8 All creatures then as one shall join, To shout aloud his praise divine! (As sacred prophecies foretel) And say, "he hath done all things well."

Oh, for a closer walk with God!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,374 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God! A calm and heav'nly frame! A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew, When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and his word? 3 What peaceful hours I then enjoy'd! How sweet their mem'ry still! But they have left and aching void The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made thee mourn, And drove thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to bear it from thy throne, And worship only thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

Oh! give me Lord my sins to mourn

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 78 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh! give me Lord my sins to mourn-- My sins! which have thy body torn! Give me, with broken heart, to see Thy last tremendous agony. 2 O, could I gain the mountain's height, And gaze upon that bleeding sight! O that, with Salem's daughters, I Could stand and see my Saviour die! 3 I'd smite my breast, and weep and mourn, And never from the cross return: I'd weep o'er an expiring God, And mix my tears with Jesus's blood. 4 I'd hang around his cross, and cry "Lord save a soul condemn'd to die!" O let a wretch come near thy throne, "To plead the merits of thy Son."

Of all the pleasures that we know

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Of all the pleasures that we know, Thy service Lord exceeds the best Though in thy earthly courts below, What is it then among the blest? 2 When we assemble to thy house, And read thy word, to praise, and pray, To hear thy gospel, pay our vows, With what delight we spend the day! 3 How short the hours of worship seem! What raptures do our spirits feel! While we can speak and hear of him, Who suffer'd death to work our weal! 4 From morn till noon, form noon till eve, The pleasing theme we could attend; Such satisfaction we receive As strangers cannot comprehend. 5 All earthly joys with these compar'd, Are less than nothing in our eyes; Pleasures of sense we disregard, And those of sin we would despise.

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,350 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie 2 O the transporting, rapturous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields array'd in living green, And rivers of delight! 3 There generous fruits that never fail, On trees immortal grow: There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales, With milk and honey flow. 4 All o'er those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Sun for ever reigns, And scatters night away. 5 No chilling winds, or pois'nous breath, Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and fear'd no more. 6 When shall I reach that happy place, And be for ever blest? When shall I see my Father's face, And in his bosom rest? 7 Fill'd with delight, my raptur'd soul Can here no longer stay: Tho' Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.

Our heavenly Father calls

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 169 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our heavenly Father calls, And Christ invites us near; With both our friendship shall be sweet, And our communion dear. 2 God pities all our griefs; He pardons every day; Almighty to protect our souls And wise to guide our way. 3 How large his bounties are! What various stores of good Diffus'd from our Redeemer's hand, And purchas'd with his blood? 4 Jesus, our living head, We bless thy faithful care; Our advocate before the throne, And our forerunner there. 5 Here fix, my roving heart! Here wait, my warmest love! 'Till the communion be complete In nobler scenes above. Scripture: 1 John 1:3
