My soul doth magnify the Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 My soul doth magnify the Lord, My spirit doth rejoice In God, my Saviour, and my God; I hear his joyful voice. 2 I need not go abroad for joy, Who have a feast at home; My sighs are turn'd into songs,-- The Comforter is come. 3 Down from above, the blessed Dove Is come into my breast, To witness God's eternal love; This is my heav'nly feast. 4 There is a stream that issues forth From God's eternal throne, And from the Lamb, a living stream, Clear as the crystal stone. 5 That stream doth water paradise; It makes the angels sing: One cordial drop revives my heart; Hence all my joys do spring. Scripture: Luke 1:46

Blest is the man, for ever bless'd

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 103 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man, for ever bless'd, Whose guilt is pardon'd by his God, Whose sins with sorrow are confess'd, And cover'd with his Saviour's blood. 2 Blest is the man to whom the Lord Imputes not his iniquities; He pleads no merit of reward, And not on works, but grace relies. 3 From guile his heart and lips are free, His humble joy, his holy fear, With deep repentance well agree, And join to prove his faith sincere. 4 How glorious is that righteousness That hides and cancels all his sins! While a bright evidence of grace Through all his life appears and shines.

Indulgent God! to Thee I raise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 Indulgent God! to Thee I raise My spirit fraught with joy and praise: Grateful I bow before thy throne, My debt of mercy there to own. 2 Rivers descending, Lord! from Thee Perpetual glide to solace me: Their varied virtues to rehearse, Demands an everlasting verse. 3 And yet there is, beyond the rest, One stream--the widest and the best-- Salvation! Lo, the purple flood Rolls rich with my Redeemer's blood. 4 I taste--delight succeeds to wo; I bathe--no waters cleanse me so: Such joy and purity to share, I would remain enraptur'd there. 5 Till death shall give this soul to know The fulness sought in vain below;-- The fulness of that boundless sea Whence flow'd the river down to me. 6 My soul--with such a scene in view-- Bids mortals joys a glad adieu; Nor dreads a few chastising woes Sent with such love--so soon to close. Scripture: Psalm 46:4

Come, ye that love the Lord

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,824 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 Come, ye that love the Lord, And let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne. 2 Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God: But servants of the heav'nly King, May speak their joys abroad. 3 The God, who rules on high, Who all the earth surveys, Who rides upon the stormy sky, And calms the roaring seas: 4 This awful God is ours, Our Father and our love; He will send down his heav'nly pow'rs, To carry us above. 5 There we shall see his face, And never, never sin! There, from the rivers of his grace, Drink endless pleasures in. 6 Yea, and before we rise To that immortal state, The thoughts of such amazing bliss Should constant joys create. 7 The men of grace have found Glory begun below. Celestial fruit on earthly ground From faith and hope may grow. 8 Then let our songs abound, And ev'ry tear be dry: We're marching through Immanuel's ground, To fairer worlds on high.

Not all the nobles of the earth

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 84 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 Not all the nobles of the earth, Who boast the honours of their birth, Such real dignity can claim, As those who bear the Christian name. 2 To them the privilege is giv'n, To be the sons and heirs of heav'n; Sons of the God who reigns on high, And heirs of joys beyond the sky. 3 His will he makes them early know, And teaches their young feet to go; Whispers instruction to their minds, And on their hearts his precepts binds. 4 Their daily wants his hands supply: Their steps he guards with watchful eye, Leads them from earth to heav'n above, And crowns them with eternal love. 5 If I've the honour, Lord! to be One of this num'rous family: On me the gracious gift bestow, To call thee Abba, Father, too. 6 So may my conduct ever prove My filial piety and love! Whilst all my brethren clearly trace Their Father's likeness on my face.

There is a glorious world on high

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 There is a glorious world on high, Resplendent with eternal day; Faith views the blissful prospect nigh, While God's own word reveals the way. 2 There shall the fav'rites of the Lord With never-fading lustre shine. Surprising honour! vast reward! Conferr'd on man by love divine. 3 How blest are those, how truly wise, Who learn and keep the sacred road! Happy the men, whom heav'n employs To turn rebellious hearts to God; 4 To win them from the fatal way Where erring folly thoughtless roves; And that blest righteousness display, Which Jesus taught and God approves. 5 The shining firmament shall fade, And sparkling stars resign their light: But these shall know nor change nor shade, For ever fair, for ever bright. 6 On wings of faith and strong desire, O may our spirits daily rise; And reach at last the shining choir, In the bright mansions of the skies!
