Lord of All Leisure Time

Author: Bryan Jeffery Leech Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #398 (1990) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Pleasure; Pleasure Lyrics: 1 Lord of all leisure time, we set a time apart within the rhythm of each week to cultivate the heart; for you have said, "Be still, and in my presence find the ecstasy of worshiping with soul and strength and mind." 2 Lord of all leisure time, we give this time to you, that we may choose relaxing ways our spirits to renew, for in your providence you order us to rest. Teach us to balance work with play that we may live unstressed. 3 Lord of all leisure time, be Lord of all we do. May tasteless and unholy things not lure our hearts from you. O give us sense to choose delights that lead to joy, for you have clearly marked as sin all pleasures that destroy. 4 Lord of all leisure time, of all that's true and good, who formed the best within your world that we may be renewed; help us to draw from you, as from a parent's hand, a new supply of freshening grace for this the day you've planned.

Jesus calls us--by thy mercies, Savior, may we hear thy call, give our hearts to thine obedience, serve and love thee best of all.

Lord, how secure and blest are they

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LVII (1766) Topics: Pleasure of a Good Conscience Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure and blest are they, Who feel the Joys of pardon'd Sin; Should Storms of Wrath shake Earth and Sea, Their Minds have Heav'n and Peace within. 2 The Day glides sweetly o'er their Heads, Made up of Innocence and Love; And soft and silent as the Shades, Their nightly Minutes gently move. [3 Quick as their Thoughts their Joys come on, But fly not half so swift away, Their Souls are ever bright as Noon, And calm as Summer Ev'nings be. 4 How oft they look to heav'nly Hills, Where Groves of living Pleasure grow, And longing Hopes and chearful Smiles Sit undisturb'd upon their Brow.] 5 They scorn to seek our golden Toys, But spend the Day, and share the Night In numb'ring o'er the richer Joys That Heav'n prepares for their Delight. 6 While wretched we like Worms and Moles Lie grov'ling in the Dust below; Almighty Grace, renew our Souls, And we'll aspire to Glory too.

Our Example

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Benevolence a duty and pleasure First Line: And is the gospel peace and love? Lyrics: 1 And is the gospel, peace and love? Such let our conversation be: The serpent blended with the dove, Wisdom and meek simplicity. 2 Whene'er the angry passions rise, And tempt our thoughts or tongues to strife, To Jesus let us lift our eyes, Bright pattern of the Christian life! 3 O how benevolent and kind! How mild! how ready to forgive! Be this the temper of our mind, And these the rules by which we live. 4 To do his heavenly Father's will, Was his employment and delight; Humility and holy zeal Shone thro' his life divinely bright! 5 Dispensing good where'er he came, The labors of his life were love; O, if we love the Savior's name, Let his divine example move. 6 But ah how blind! how weak we are! How frail! how apt to turn aside! Lord, we depend upon thy care, And ask thy spirit for our guide. 7 Thy fair example may we trace, To teach us what we ought to be; Make us by thy transforming grace, Dear Savior, daily more like thee.

Zion rejoice and Judah sing

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CXI (1766) Topics: Sinful Pleasure forsaken Lyrics: 1 Zion rejoice, and Judah sing, The Lord assumes his Throne; Let Britain own the heav'nly King, And make his Glories known. 2 The Great, the Wicked, and the Proud, From their high Seats are hurl'd; Jehovah rides upon a Cloud, And thunders through the World. 3 He reigns upon th' eternal Hills, Distributes mortal Crowns, Empires are fix'd beneath his Smiles, And totter at his Frowns. 4 Navies that rule the Ocean wide Are vanquish'd by his Breath; And Legions arm'd with Pow'r and Pride Descend to wat'ry Death. 5 Let Tyrants make no more Pretence To vex our happy Land; Jehovah's Name is our Defence, Our Buckler is his Hand. [6 Long may the King, our Sov'reign, live, To rule us by thy Word, And all the Honours he can give, Be offer'd to the Lord.] Languages: English
