Come, My Soul, Thy Suit Prepare

Come, my soul, thy suit prepare: Jesus loves to answer prayer; He Himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay; Therefore will not say thee nay. 2. Thou art coming to a King, Large petitions with thee bring; For His grace and power are such, None can ever ask too much; None can ever ask too much. 3. With my burden I begin: Lord, remove this load of sin; Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt; Set my conscience free from guilt. 4. Lord, I come to Thee for rest, Take possession of my breast; There Thy blood bought right maintain, And without a rival reign; And without a rival reign. 5. As the image in the glass Answers the beholder’s face; Thus unto my heart appear, Print Thine own resemblance there, Print Thine own resemblance there. 6. While I am a pilgrim here, Let Thy love my spirit cheer; As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend, Lead me to my journey’s end; Lead me to my journey’s end. 7. Show me what I have to do, Every hour my strength renew: Let me live a life of faith, Let me die Thy people’s death; Let me die Thy people’s death.

Although on Massy Pillars Built

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Although on massy pillars built, The earth has lately shook; It trembled under all our guilt, [originally, Britain’s guilt] Before its maker’s look. 2. Swift as the shock amazement spreads, And sinners tremble too; What flight can screen their guilty heads, If earth itself pursue. 3. But mercy spared us while it warned, The shock is felt no more; And mercy, now, alas! is scorned By sinners, as before. 4. But if these warnings prove in vain, Say, sinner, canst thou tell, How soon the earth may quake again, And open wide to hell. 5. Repent before the Judge draws nigh; Or else when He comes down, Thou wilt in vain for earthquakes cry, To hide thee from His frown. 6. But happy they who love the Lord And His salvation know; The hope that’s founded on His Word, No change can overthrow. 7. Should the deep-rooted hills be hurled, And plunged beneath the seas; And strong convulsions shake the world, Your hearts may rest in peace. 8. Jesus, your shepherd, Lord, and chief, Shall shelter you from ill; And not a worm or shaking leaf Can move, but at His will. Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 68, alt.: "the earthquake. September 8, 1775."

Gracious Lord, Remember David

Author: Anonymous Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Gracious Lord, remember David, How he made Thy house his care, How he vowed to seek no pleasure Till Thy house he should prepare. Lord, remember his devotion; Restless in his courts he trod Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel’s mighty God; Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel’s mighty God. 2. Far away God’s ark was resting, It is with His people now; We will go into His temple, At His footstool we will bow. With the ark, Thy might revealing, Enter, Lord, into Thy rest; Let Thy priests be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest; Let Thy priests be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest. 3. Let the king behold Thy favor For Thy servant David’s sake, Unto whom a sacred promise, Sure and faithful, Thou didst make. If his children keep Thy covenant And Thy testimony own, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon the throne; Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon the throne. 4. Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion, Thou hast ever loved her well; This My resting place forever, Here, Thou say’st, “I choose to dwell. Surely I will bless and help her, Feed her poor, her saints make glad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation’s garments clad; And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation’s garments clad. 5. I will cause the might of David Ever more and more to grow; On the path of Mine Anointed I will make a lamp to glow. All His enemies shall perish, I will cover them with shame; But His crown shall ever flourish; Blessèd be His holy name; But His crown shall ever flourish; Blessèd be His holy name.
