When Abram, full of sacred awe

Hymnal: CDRS1825 #S132 (1825) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 18:23-32 Lyrics: 1 When Abram, full of sacred awe, Before Jehovah stood, And with a humble fervent prayer, For guilty Sodom sued; 2 With what success, what wondrous grace, Was his petitions crown'd! The Lord would spare, if in the place Ten righteous men were found. 3 And could a single, holy soul So rich a boon obtain? Great God, and shall a nation cry, And plead with thee in vain? 4 Columbia guilty as she is, Her numerous saints can boast, And now their fervent prayers ascend And can those prayers be lost? 5 Are not the righteous dear to thee, Now as in ancient times? Or does this sinful land exceed Gomorrah in its crimes? 6 Still are we thine, we bear thy name, Here yet is thine abode; Long has thy presence bless'd our land, Forsake us not, O God.

Heal us, Immanuel, here we are

Hymnal: CDRS1825 #S42 (1825) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Exodus 15 Lyrics: 1 Heal us, Immanuel, here we are, Waiting to feel thy touch; Deep wounded souls to thee repair, And, Saviour, we are such. 2 Our faith is feeble, we confess, We faintly trust thy word, But wilt thou pity us the less? Far be that from the Lord! 3 Remember him who once applied With trembling for relief: "Lord, I believe," with tears he cried, "O help my unbelief." 4 She too, who touch'd thee in the press, And healing virtue stole, Was answered, "Daughter, go in peace, "Thy faith hath made thee whole." 5 Conceal'd amidst the gather'd throng, She would have shunn'd thy view; And if her faith was firm and strong, Had strong misgivings too. 6 Like her, with hopes and fears we come, To touch thee if we may; Oh! send us not despairing home, Send none unheal'd away.

Like showers on meadows newly mown

Hymnal: CDRS1825 #S71 (1825) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 72:6 Lyrics: 1 Like showers on meadows newly mown, Jesus shall shed his blessing down, Crown'd with whose life-infusing drops, Earth shall renew her blissful crops. 2 Lands that beneath a burning sky, Have long been desolate and dry, Th' effusions of his love shall share, And sudden greens and herbage wear. 3 The dews and rains in all their store, Drenching the pastures o'er and o'er, Are not so copious as that grace Which sanctifies and saves our race. 4 As in soft silence vernal showers, Descend and cheer the fainting flowers, So in the secrecy of love, Falls the sweet influence from above. 5 That heavenly influence let me find In holy silence of the mind, While every grace maintains its bloom, Diffusing wide its rich perfume. 6 Nor let these blessings be confin'd To me, but pour'd on all mankind, 'Till earth's wild waste in verdure rise, And a youg Eden bless our eyes.

Loud let the tuneful trumpet sound

Hymnal: CDRS1825 #S79 (1825) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 89:15 Lyrics: 1 Loud let the trumpet sound, And spread the joyful tidings round; Let ev'ry soul with transport hear, And hail the Lord's accepted year. 2 Ye debtors, whom he gives to know, That you ten thousand talents owe, When humble at this feet you fall, Your gracious God forgives them all. 3 Slaves, that have borne the heavy chain Of sin and hell's tyrannic reign, To liberty assert your claim, And urge the great Redeemer's name. 4 The rich inheritance of heaven, Your joy, your hope is freely given; Fair Salem you arrival waits, With golden streets and pearly gates. 5 Her bless'd inhabitants no more Bondage and poverty deplore; No debt, but love immensely great, Their joys still rises with the debt. 6 O happy souls that know the sound, Celestial light their steps surround, And shew the jubilee begun, Which thro' eternal years shall run.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Hymnal: CDRS1825 #S34 (1825) Meter: Irregular Scripture: Isaiah 33:20-21 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God! He, whose word can not be broken, Form'd thee for his own abode; On the rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 [See! the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove: Who can faint when such a river Ever flows their thirst t' assuage? Grace, which like the Lord the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering See the cloud and fire appear! For a glory and a covering, Shewing that the Lord is near: Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna Which he gives them when they pray. 4 Blest inhabitants of Zion, Wash'd in the Redeemer's blood! Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God; 'Tis his love his people raises Over self to reign as kings, And as priests, his solemn praises Each for a thank-offering brings. 5 Saviour, if of Zion's city I thro' grace a member am; Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name; Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show! Solid joys and lasting treasure, None but Zion's children know. Languages: English
