All Attainments vain without Love

Author: S. Stennett Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLXXII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Eternal and Unchangeable Love of God, commemorated in Hymns of Thanksgiving First Line: Should bounteous nature kindly pour Lyrics: 1 Should bounteous nature kindly pour Her richest gifts on me, Still, O my God, I should be poor, If void of love to thee. 2 Not shining wit, nor manly sense, could make me truly good: Nor zeal itself could recompense The want of love to God. 3 Did I possess the gift of tongues, But were deni'd thy grace, My loudest words, my loftiest songs, Would be but sounding brass. 4 Tho' thou should'st give me heav'nly skill, Each myst'ry to explain, If I'd no heart to do thy will, My knowledge would be vain. 5 Had I so strong a faith, my God, As mountains to remove, No faith could do me real good, That did not work by love. 6 What tho', to gratify my pride, And make my heav'n secure, All my possessions I divide, Among the hungry poor! 7 What tho' my body I consign, To the devouring flame, In hope the glorious deed will shine In roils of endless fame! 8 These splendid acts of vanity, Tho' all the world applaud, If destitute of charity, Can never please my God. 9 O grant me then this one request, And I'll be satisfied, That love divine may rule my breast, And all my actions guide. Scripture: Matthew 5:44-45 Languages: English

Christ, the Evidence of Divine Love

Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLXX (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Eternal and Unchangeable Love of God, commemorated in Hymns of Thanksgiving First Line: We now with gladness tell Lyrics: 1 We now with gladness tell, What Proof our God hath giv'n, That we with him shall ever dwell Above the highest heav'n. 2 That our Creator's Love, Essentially to man; His Dealings with us fully prove, Thro' all the christian plan. 3 Such was his love to us, He freely gave his Son To suffer death upon the cross, And, bleeding, there atone. 4 For us he made him sin, Then pierc'd him to the heart; This to destroy, the spear went in, For this, he bare his smart. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:9 Languages: English

Now shall my inward Joys arise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XXXIX (1766) Topics: God's Care of his church; Church Its Safety and Protection; Love of Christ unchangeable; Promises of the Covenant Lyrics: 1 Now shall my inward Joys arise, And burst into a Song; Almighty Love inspires my Heart, And Pleasure tunes my Tongue. 2 God, on his thirsty Sion Hill Some Mercy Drops has thrown, And solemn Oaths have bound his Love To show'r Salvation down. 3 Why do we then indulge our Fears, Suspicions and Complaints? Is he a God, and shall his Grace Grow weary of his Saints? 4 Can a kind Woman e'er forget The Infant of her Womb, Among a Thousand tender Thoughts Her Suckling have no Room? 5 Yet, saith the Lord, should Nature change, And Mothers Monsters prove, Sion still dwells upon the Heart Of everlasting Love. 6 Deep on the Palms of both my Hands I have engrav'd her Name; My Hands shall raise her ruin'd Wall, And build her broken Frame. Scripture: Isaiah 49:13-16 Languages: English

Praise, everlasting Praise, be paid

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LX (1766) Topics: Truth and Promises of God unchangeable Lyrics: 1 Praise, everlasting Praise, be paid To him that Earth's Foundation laid; Praise to the God, whose strong Decrees Sway the Creation as he please. 2 Praise to the Goodness of the Lord, Who rules his People by his Word, And there, as strong as his Decrees, He sets his kindest Promises. [3 Firm are the Words his Prophets give, Sweet Words on which his Children live; Each of them is the Voice of God, Who spoke and spread the Skies abroad. 4 Each of them pow'rful as that Sound That bid the new made Heav'ns go round; And stronger than the solid Poles, On which the Wheel of Nature rolls.] 5 Whence then should Doubts and fears arise? Why trickling Sorrows drown our Eyes? Slowly, alas! our Mind receives The Comfort that our Maker gives. 6 Oh, for a strong, a Lasting Faith, To credit what th' Almighty saith! T' embrace the Message of his Son, And call the Joys of Heav'n our own. 7 Then should the Earth's old Pillars shake, And all the Wheels of Nature break, Our steady Souls should fear no more Than solid Rocks when Billows roar. 8 Our everlasting Hopes arise Above the ruinable Skies, Where the eternal Builder reigns, And his own Courts his Pow'r sustains.

Great God, how infinite art thou!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #20 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: God eternal and unchangeable Lyrics: 1 Great God, how infinite art thou! How frail and weak are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. 2 Thy throne eternal ages stood, Ere seas or heav'n was made; Thou art the ever-living God, Were all the nations dead. 3 Nature and time all open lie To thine immense survey, From the formation of the sky, To the last awful day. 4 Eternity, with all its years, Stands present to thy view. To thee there's nothing old appears; Great God! there's nothing new. 5 Our lives thro' various scenes are drawn, And vex'd with trifling cares; While thine eternal thought moves on Thine undisturb'd affairs. 6 Great God, how infinite art thou! How poor and weak are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee.
