The voice of my Beloved sounds

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #561 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Guilt of conscience relieved Lyrics: The voice of my Beloved sounds Over the rocks and rising grounds; O'er hills of guilt and seas of grief He leaps, he flies to my relief. Now through the veil of flesh I see With eyes of love he looks at me; Now in the gospel's clearest glass He shows the beauties of his face. Gently he draws my heart along, Both with his beauties and his tongue; "Rise," saith my Lord, "make haste away, No mortal joys are worth thy stay. "The Jewish wintry state is gone, The mists are fled, the spring comes on; The sacred turtle-dove we hear Proclaim the new, the joyful year. "Th' immortal vine of heav'nly root Blossoms, and buds, and gives her fruit:" Lo! we are come to taste the wine; Our souls rejoice, and bless the vine. And when we hear our Jesus say, "Rise up, my love, make haste away!" Our hearts would fain outfly the wind, And leave all earthly loves behind. Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:8-13 Languages: English

A guilty Conscience eased by Confession and Pardon

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #56b (1740) Topics: Guilt of Conscience relieved First Line: While I keep Silence, and conceal Lyrics: 1 While I keep Silence, and conceal My heavy Guilt within my Heart, What Torments doth my Conscience feel! What Agonies of inward Smart! 2 I spread my Sins before the Lord, And all my secret Faults confess; Thy Gospel speaks a pard'ning Word, Thine holy Spirit seals the Grace. 3 For this shall every humble Soul Make swift Addresses to thy Seat; When Floods of huge Temptations roll, There shall they find a blest Retreat. 4 How safe beneath thy Wings I lie, When Days grow dark and Storms appear; And when I walk, thy watchful Eye Shall guide me safe from every Snare.

Often I seek my Lord by night

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #563 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Guilt of conscience relieved Lyrics: Often I seek my Lord by night, Jesus, my Love, my soul's delight; With warm desire and restless thought I seek him oft, but find him not. Then I arise and search the street, Till I my Lord, my Savior meet: I ask the watchmen of the night, "Where did you see my soul's delight?" Sometimes I find him in my way, Directed by a heav'nly ray; I leap for joy to see his face, And hold him fast in mine embrace. [I bring him to my mother's home, Nor does my Lord refuse to come To Zion's sacred chambers, where My soul first drew the vital air. He gives me there his bleeding heart, Pierced for my sake with deadly smart; I give my soul to him, and there Our loves their mutual tokens share.] I charge you, all ye earthly toys, Approach not to disturb my joys; Nor sin nor hell come near my heart, Nor cause my Savior to depart. Scripture: Song of Solomon 3:1-5 Languages: English

Ye sons of Adam, vain and young

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #593 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Guilt of conscience relieved Lyrics: Ye sons of Adam, vain and young, Indulge your eyes, indulge your tongue, Taste the delights your souls desire, And give a loose to all your fire; Pursue the pleasures you design, And cheer your hearts with songs and wine; Enjoy the day of mirth, but know There is a day of judgment too. God from on high beholds your thoughts, His book records your secret faults; The works of darkness you have done Must all appear before the sun. The vengeance to your follies due Should strike your hearts with terror through: How will you stand before his face, Or answer for his injured grace? Almighty God! turn off their eyes From these alluring vanities; And let the thunder of thy word Awake their souls to fear the Lord. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:9 Languages: English

Daughters of Zion, come, behold

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #564 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Guilt of conscience relieved Lyrics: Daughters of Zion, come, behold The crown of honor and of gold Which the glad church, with joys unknown, Placed on the head of Solomon. Jesus, thou everlasting King, Accept the tribute which we bring; Accept the well-deserved renown, And wear our praises as thy crown. Let every act of worship be Like our espousals, Lord, to thee; Like the dear hour when from above We first received thy pledge of love. The gladness of that happy day, Our hearts would wish it long to stay; Nor let our faith forsake its hold, Nor comfort sink, nor love grow cold. Each following minute, as it flies, Increase thy praise, improve our joys, Till we are raised to sing thy name At the great supper of the Lamb. O that the months would roll away, And bring that coronation day! The King of Grace shall fill the throne, With all his Father's glories on. Scripture: Song of Solomon 3:11 Languages: English
