Complaint of Spiritual sloth

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CXII (1790) Topics: After Sermon First Line: My drowsy pow'rs, why sleep ye so Lyrics: 1 My drowsy pow'rs, why sleep ye so Awake, my sluggish soul! Nothing has half thy work to do, Yet nothing's half so dull. 2 The little ants for one poor grain Labour, and tug, and strive; Yet we, who have a heav'n t'obtain, How negligent we live! 3 We, for whose sake all nature stands, And stars their courses move; We, for whose guard the angel bands Come flying from above: 4 We, for whom God the Son came down And labour'd for our good, How careless to secure that crown He purchas'd with jis blood! 5 Lord, shall we lie so sluggish still, And never act our parts! Come, holy Dove, from th' heav'nly hill, Renew and warm our hearts. 6 Then shall our active spirits move, Upward our soul shall rise; With hands of faith and wings of love, We'll fly and take the prize.

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CXXV (1790) Topics: After Sermon First Line: My God, in whom are all the springs Lyrics: 1 My God, in whom are all the springs, Of boundless love and grace unknown Hide me beneath thy spreading wings, 'Till the dark cloud is overblown. 2 Up to the heav’ns I send my cry, The Lord will my desires perform; He sends his angel from the sky, And saves me from the threat’ning storm. 3 Be thou exalted, O my GOD, Above the Heav’ns where angels dwell Thy power on earth be known abroad, And land to land thy wonders tell. 4 My heart is fix'd; my song shall raise, Immortal honours to thy name; Awake, my tongue, to sound his praise, My tongue, the glory of my frame. 5 High o’er the earth his mercy reigns, And reaches to the utmost sky; His truth to endless years remains, When lower worlds dissolve and die. 6 Be thou exalted, O my GOD, Above the heav’ns, where angels dwell Thy pow'r on earth be known abroad, And land to land thy wonders tell.

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CXLI (1790) Topics: After Sermon First Line: My God, my King thy various praise Lyrics: 1 My God, my king, thy various praise Shall fill the remnant of my days, Thy grace employ my humble tongue, Till death and glory raise the song. 2 The wings of ev'ry hour shall bear, Some thankful tribute to thine ear; And ev'ry setting sun shall see, New works of duty done for thee. 3 Let distant times and nations raise, The long succession of thy praise: And unborn ages make my song, The joy and labor of their tongue. 4 But who can speak thy wond'rous deeds Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds, Vast and unsearchable thy ways, Vast and immortal be thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 145 Languages: English

God our only happiness

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #LXXIII (1790) Topics: After Sermon First Line: My God, my portion, and my love Lyrics: 1 My God, my portion, and my love My everlasting All! I've none but thee in Heav'n above, Or on this earthly ball. 2 What empty things are all the skies, And this inferior clod! There's nothing here deserves my joys, There's nothing like my God. 3 In vain the bright, the burning sun, Scatters his feeble light: 'Tis thy sweet beams create my noon; If thou withdraw, 'tis night. 4 And whilst upon my restless bed, Amidst the shades I roll, If my Redeemer raise my head, 'Tis morning with my soul. 5 To thee we owe my wealth and friends, And health, and safe abode: We praise thy name for all these things; But they are not our God. 6 Were I possessor of the earth, And call'd the stars my own; Without thy graces and thyself, I were a wretch undone.

Send down thy grace, O blessed LORD, That I may love thee more 3 My feet shall travel all the length, Of the celestial road; And march with courage in thy strength To see the LORD my GOD. 4 How will my lips rejoice to tell The vict'ries of my King! My soul redeem'd from sin and hell, Shall thy salvation sing. 5 My tongue shall all the day proclaim, My Saviour and my GOD; His death hat brought my foes to shame And drown'd them in his blood. 6 Awake, awake, my tuneful pow'rs, With this delightful song I'll entertain the darkest hours Nor think the season long.

Naked as from the earth we came

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XCVI (1790) Topics: After Sermon Lyrics: 1 Naked as from the earth we came, And crept to life at first, We to the earth return again, And mingle with our dust. 2 The dear delights we here enjoy, And fondly call our own, Are but short favours borrow'd now, To be repaid anon. 3 'Tis GOD that lifts our comforts high, Or sinks them in the grave, He gives, and (blessed be his name!) He takes but what he gave. 4 Peace all our angry passions then, Let each rebellious sigh Be silent at his sov'reign will, And every murmur die. 5 If smiling mercy crown our Lives, Its praises shall be spread; And we'll adore the justice too That strikes our comforts dead.

Faith in Christ our sacrifice

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CLXII (1790) Topics: After Sermon First Line: Not all the blood of beasts Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away the stain. 2 But Christ the heav'nly Lamb, Takes all our sins away; A sacrifice of nobler name, And richer blood than they. 3 My faith would lay its hand On that dear head of thine, While like a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin. 4 My soul looks back to see The burden thou didst bear When hanging on the cursed tree, And hopes her guit was there. 5 Believing we rejoice, To see the curse remove; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, And sing his bleeding love.
