The farewel

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals First Line: Dead be my heart to all below Lyrics: 1 Dead be my heart to all below, To mortal joys and mortal cares; To sensual bliss that charms us so, Be dark mine eyes, and deaf my ears. 2 Lord, I renounce my carnal taste Of the fair fruit that sinners prize; Their paradise shall never waste One thought of mine, but to despise. 3 All earthly joy are over weigh'd With mountains of vexatious care: And where's the sweet that is not laid A bait to some destructive snare? 4 Come heav'n, and fill my vast desires, My soul pursues the sov'reign good: She was all made of heav'nly fires, Nor can she live on meaner food.

A Prayer for the promised rest in Christ

Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: Dear friend of guilty sinners, hear Lyrics: 1 Dear friend of guilty sinners, hear, And magnify thy grace divine; Pardon a worm that would draw near, And make his heart to thee resign, A worm, by guilt and sin distrest, That pants to reach the promis'd rest. 2 With holy fear, and rev'rend love, I long to lie beneath thy throne; In thee to live, in thee to move, And stay myself on thee alone: Teach me to lean upon thy breast, To find in thee the promis'd rest. 3 Sure, Lord, thou wilt thy servants keep, And bless them with thy gracious smiles, A gentle shepherd of thy sheep, to guard them from the tempter's wiles; How calm their state, how truly blest, Who trust in thee for promis'd rest. 4 Take me, dear Saviour, for thine own, And make me love thy righteous case; Be thou my portion, Lord, alone, And bend me to obey thy laws: Let me in thy dear arms be blest, And find in thee the promis'd rest!

For a time of general sickness

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals First Line: Death with his dread commission seal'd Lyrics: 1 Death with his dread commission seal'd, Now hastens to his arms: In awful state he takes the field, And sounds his dire alarms. 2 Attendant plagues around him stand, And wait his dread command; And pains, and dying groans obey The signal of his hand. 3 With cruel force, he scatters round His shafts of deadly pow'r; While the grave waits its destin'd prey, Impatient to devour. 4 Look up, ye heirs of endless joy, Nor let your fears prevail; Eternal life is our reward, When life on earth shall fail. 5 What though his darts promiscous hurl'd, Deal fatal plagues around; And heaps of putrid carcases O'erload the cumber'd ground; 6 The arrows, that shall wound your flesh, Were giv'n him from above, Dipt in the great Redeemer's blood, And feather'd all with love. 7 These, with a gentle hand he throws, And saints lie gasping too; But heav'nly strength supports their souls, And bears them conqu'rors through.

The day of judgment will shew the connection between sin and misery

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: God from his throne with piercing eye Lyrics: 1 God from his throne with piercing eye, Naked does ev'ry heart behold; But never, till we come to die, To us will such a view unfold. 2 Should sin, in naked form appear, Just as it rises in the heart, And others know and see it there In ev'ry feeling, every thought: 3 The fire of hell must kindle soon, How envy and revenge would flame! One heart would urge another on, Till rage and vengeance want a name! 4 Sin in its nature would appear A living death, to form a hell; The worst of mis'ries creatures fear, The worst of plagues the tongue can tell. 5 Unvail'd and naked ev'ry heart Before the judgment seat must stand, Sin act no more a double part, But meet a death from its own hand. 6 The fiery lake must hotter grow From the fierce clash of sinful souls; Each bosom like a furnace glow, Nor God the rage, or fire control.

The stoutest rebel must resign, At thy commanding word. 2 Deep are the wounds thy arrows give; They pierce the hardest heart; Thy smiles of grace the slain revive, And joy succeeds to smart. 3 Still gird thy sword upon thy thigh, Come with majestic sway: Down from thy glorious throne on high, And make thy foes obey 4 And when thy victories are complete; When all the chosen race Shall round the throne of glory meet, To sing thy conquering grace; 5 O may my humble soul be found Among that favor'd band! And I, with them, thy praise will sound As round the throne we stand. Scripture: Psalm 45:3-5
