Abba, Father, God of love

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CLI (1789) Lyrics: 1 Abba, Father, God of love! Send thy blessing from above; Light and life to all impart; Shine on each believing heart; Kindly comfort all who mourn, Into joy their sorrow turn; 2 Joy which none can take away, Joy which shall for ever stay; All thy kingdom from above, All the happiness of love; Be it to thy servants given, Pardon, holiness, and heaven. 3 Glorious in thy saints appear, Plant thy heavenly kingdom here; Faith and love and joy increase, Temperance and gentleness; Plant in us an humble mind, Patient, pitiful, and kind; 4 Meek and lowly let us be, Full of goodness, full of thee; Make us all in thee complete, Make us all for glory meet, Meet to appear before thy sight, Partners with the saints in light. 5 Let us, in our spirits, prove All the depths of humble love; Let us, in our lives, express All the heights of holiness; To thy church the pattern give, Shew how true believers live. 6 When the glorious race is run, Fought the fight, the battle won; Let us then with joy remove To thy family above; On the wings of angels fly, Shew how true believers die.

Ah wretched souls, who still remain

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CIV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Ah wretched souls, who still remain, Slaves to the world, and slaves to sin! A nobler toil may I sustain, A nobler satisfaction win. 2 May we resolve with all our heart, With all our powers to serve the Lord; Nor from his precepts e'er depart, Whose service is a rich reward. 3 O be his service all our joy, Around let our example shine, Till others love the blest employ, And join in labours so divine. 4 Be this the purpose of our soul, Our solemn, our determin'd choice, To yield to his supreme controul, And in his kind commands rejoice. 5 O may we never faint nor tire, Nor wandering leave his sacred ways; Great God, accept our soul's desire, And give us strength to live thy praise.

All knowing God, 'tis thine to know

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #I (1789) Lyrics: 1 All knowing God, 'tis thine to know The springs whence wrong opinions flow; To judge, from principles within, When frailty errs, and when we sin. 2 Who, among men, high Lord of all, Thy servants to his bar may call? Decide of heresy, and shake A brother o'er the flaming lake? 3 Who with another's eye can read? Or worship by another's creed? Revering thy command alone, We humbly seek and use our own. 4 If wrong, forgive; accept, if right; While faithful we obey our light; And, cens'uring none, are zealous still, To follow as to learn thy will. 5 When shall our happy eyes behold Thy people fashion'd in thy mould? And charity our lineage prove Deriv'd from thee, O God of love? Topics: The divine Perfections Religious Inquiry Languages: English

Almighty Author of our frame

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #LXV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Almighty Author of our frame, To thee our vital pow'rs belong; Thy praise, (delightful, glorious theme!) Demands our heart, our life, our tongue. 2 Our hearts, our lives, our tongues, are thine: O be thy praise their best employ! But may our songs with angels join, Nor sacred awe forbid the joy! 3 Thy glories, the seraphick lyre, On all its strings attempts in vain; Then how shall mortals dare aspire, In thought, to try th' unequal strain? 4 Yet the Sov'reign of the skies To mortals bends a gracious ear; Nor the mean tribute will despise, If offer'd with a heart sincere. 5 Great God, accept the humble praise, And guide our heart, and guide our tongue, While to thy name we trembling raise The grateful, though unworthy, song.

Approach, ye piously dispos'd

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXXVII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Approach, ye piously dispos'd, And my instruction hear; I'll teach you the true discipline Of a religious fear. 2 Let him, who length of life desires, And prosp'rous ways would see, From sland'ring language keep his tongue, His Lips from falshood free: 3 The crooked paths of vice decline, And virtue's ways pursue; Establish peace, where 'tis begun; And, where 'tis lost, renew. 4 The Lord from heav'n, beholds the just With favourable eyes; And, when distress'd, his gracious ear Is open to their cries: 5 But turns his wrathful look on those Whom mercy can't reclaim, To cut them off, and from the earth Blot out their hated name.

As pants the hart for cooling streams

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XVII (1789) Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams, When heated in the chace, So longs my soul, O God, for thee, And thy refreshing grace. 2 For thee, my God, the living God, My thirsty soul doth pine! O when shall I behold thy face? Thou majesty divine! 3 I sigh whene'er my musing thoughts Those happy days present, When I with troops of pious friends Thy temple did frequent; 4 When I advanc'd with songs of praise, My solemn vows to pay, And led the joyful sacred throng And kept the festal day. 5 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Trust God, and he'll employ His aid for thee; and change these sighs To thankful hymns of joy. 6 Why restless, why cast down, my soul Hope still, and thou shalt sing The praise of him who is thy God, Thy health's eternal spring.

Author of every work divine

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CLIV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Author of every work divine, Who dost thro' both creations shine, The God of nature and of grace, Thy glorious steps in all we see, And wisdom attribute to thee, And power, and majesty, and praise. 2 That all-informing breath thou art, Who dost continued life impart, And bidst the world persist to be; Garnish'd by thee yon azure sky; And all those beauteous orbs on high Depend in golden chains from thee. 3 Thou dost create the earth anew, Its Maker and Preserver too, By thine almighty arm sustain; Nature perceives thy secret force, And still holds on her even course, And owns thy providential reign. 4 Thou art the Universal Soul, The plastick power that fills the whole, And governs earth, air, sea, and sky; The creatures all thy breath receive, And who by thy inspiring live, Without thy inspiration die. 5 Spirit immense, eternal Mind! Thou on the souls of all mankind Dost with benignest influence move; Pleas'd to restore a sinful race, And new create a world of grace In all the image of thy love.

Author of Good, to thee we come

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #LXXIX (1789) Lyrics: 1 Author of Good, to thee we come' Thy ever wakeful eye Alone can all our wants discern, Thy hand alone supply. 2 O let thy fear within us dwell, Thy love our footsteps guide; That love shall vainer love expel; That fear, all fears beside. 3 And since, by error's force subdu'd, Too oft the stubborn will Mistaken shuns the latent good, And grasps the specious ill; 4 Not to our wish, but to our want, Do thou thy gifts apply; Unask'd, what good thou knowest, grant; What ill, tho' ask'd, deny.
