The Malabarian Hymn

Hymnal: PGTG1756 #151 (1732) First Line: All Glory to the Sov'rein Good Lyrics: I. All Glory to the Sov'rein Good And Father of Compassion, The God our Help and sure Abode, Whose gracious Visitation Renews his Blessings ev'ry Day, And takes our greatest Grief away: Give to our God the Glory. II. The Heav'nly Hosts with Awe proclaim The Praise of their Creator; All living on this earthly Frame, All that's produc'd in Nature, Speak their Divine Original, Imprest most wisely on them all: Give to our God the Glory. III. What is created by our God, Enjoys his Preservation; 'Tis he extends o'er all abroad His Father-like Compassion. Throughout the Kingdom of his Grace Prevail his Truth and Righteousness: Give to our God the Glory. IV. In my Distress I rais'd with Faith To God my Supplication; My Saviour rescu'd me from Death, And gave me Consolation This makes my Heart with Thankfulness Rejoice before the Lord of Grace: Give to our God the Glory. V. The Lord in Truth has ne'er forsook His faithful Generation; He's still their Refuge, Strength and Rock, Their Buckler of Salvation; He leads them with a Mother's Care; Through Dismal Dangers, guards from Fear: Give to our God the Glory. VI. When all the Creatures here deny Their Help with Consolation, Our great Creator then is nigh, With Succour and Compassion, And sets the humble Souls at Rest That lives abandon'd and opprest: Give to our God the Glory. VII. Thy Praise, O Lord! shall be my Song As long as Breath I'm drawing; Thy Name shall dwell on every Tongue Where'er thy Love is growing. My Heart! with all thy Strength adore This God of Grace this God of Pow'r; And give him all the Glory. VIII. All ye that name the Name of CHRIST, Give to our God the Glory; All who confess his Pow'r the high'st Despise what's transitory; Renounce the Idols of our own. The Lord is God, whose Name alone Deserves all Praise and Glory. IX. Then come before his holy Face With joyful Acclamation; Extol the Wonders of his Grace, In your submissive Station; The Lord has order'd all Things best, Ye convert souls in East and West. Give to our God the Glory. Topics: Praise of God Languages: English

All my Hope is firmly grounded

Hymnal: PGTG1756 #64 (1732) Lyrics: I. All my Hope is firmly grounded In the Lord of Earth and Seas: He's my Help when I'm surrounded With all Sorts of Enemies. Him alone, God or none, I acknowledge for my own. II. Vain's the Boast of Humane Wonders: Vain's the Trust in man's Device: Castles, Armies, Martial Thunders Fail, and vanish in a Trice. Built on Sands Nothing stands. Vain's the Work of Humane Hands. III. But the Love of our Great Maker Never, never will impair. Ev'ry Creature is Partaker Of his Blessings and his Care. Stores of Grace, All he has Waits for Those that seek his Face. IV. Does he not supply with Plenty Ev'ry Thing we truly want? Were his Blessings eve scanty? Did his Children ever want? Oh! his Love Is above All that Human Wit can prove. V. Let us, then, for his Salvation, Come before him all our Days, With the humblest Adoration, And the sweetest Songs of Praise, Through his Son, Who alone Brought this great Salvation down.

The Golden Alphabet

Author: J. C. Jacobi Hymnal: PGTG1756 #110 (1732) First Line: Alone in God put thou thy trust Lyrics: I. Alone in God put thou thy Trust: Who trusts in Man, depends on Dust. There's None but God to's Promise just. The Old Simplicity is lost. II. Beware of Losing thy good Name, Fro Credit's of a tender Frame: By Pain and Labour 'tis achiev'd; Once lost, can seldom be retriev'd. III. Chatting avoid, but rather hear, Wilt thou with any Grace appear. Grave Silence meets with sure Respect; But Prating always with Neglect. IV. Despise thy self; respect the Great, T'avoid their Wrath and thy Defeat; Wilt thou find Comfort in Distress? The Meanest treat with Gentleness. V. Expel all haughty Thoughts, and flee Those Scandals of Prosperity. The Lord thy Plenty doth bestow To make thee great and humble too. VI. Fear thou the Lord, and prize him more Than radiant Gold and richest Oar: Gold may be spent, but Godly Fear Is a rich Store will ne'er impair. VII. Give to the Lord with chearful Heart, When God his Blessings doth impart; Lest thou should'st meet the woful Fate, Which CHRIST of DIVES did relate. VII. Hast thou receiv'd a Benefit? With Gratefulness thy self acquit. Pity sincere do thou express When thou se'est others in Distress. IX. In Labour spend thy youthful Age; That brings a goodly Heritage: Hard Work's unfit for Silver-Hair, When Weakness multiplies thy Care. X. Kind be to All, yet trust but Few; Pretended Friendship bid Adieu; Think on the Word, found true of Old, What glisters is not always Gold. XI. Let no Disturbance seize thy Heart, When frowning Fortune seems to thrwart: A hard Beginning, when it ends, Will make thee more than full Amends. XII. Master thy Chol'ric Thoughts within; Be angry, but commit no Sin; For Wrath bespeaks thee Satan's Slave, Who can't discern what's true of safe. XIII. Ne'er be asham'd to live and learn, If thou wilt mind thy main Concern: Wise Men make ev'ry Place their HOme; But Sluggards strave, where'er they come. XIV. One Party hear, but thine Applause Defer, till thou know'st th'other's Cause: Be just, for Prejudice misguides; There's often Faults on both the Sides. XV. Pride dates its first Original From Lucifer's and Adam's Fall: Are Many lost by Wind and Tide? More suffer Shipwreck by their Pride. XVI. Quote Nothing, but what edifies; A false Report soon grows and dies. A Gentleman well bread and born, Gives all he hears a loving Turn. XVII. Rely in all thine Exigence On thy Creator's Providence: None is forsaken by the Lord, Whose Life is guided by his Word. XVIII. Short is thy Time; Tide stays for None; The World's a Flash, that soon is gone. Be not beguil'd with sensual Charms; Thy Life's at Stake in Dinah's Arms. XIX. Thou must continue doing Good; But still expect to be withstood: What Action know'st thou ever done, Which was approv'd by Ev'ry one. XX. Upon no Riches set thy Heart, Lest it shou'd break, if they depart: That Man is wise, whose Heart is there, Where never fading Treasures are. XXI. Will Any one contend with thee? Be rather mute than disagree. One Contradiction raises Ten, And they wilt end, you know not when. XXII. Xerxes, relying on his Host, Was baffled in his haughty Boast. Art thou at War? rely on God, Who bringeth Peace, and brings the Rod. XXIII. Young thy Creator learn to fear, Wilt thou thy Course most wisely steer. Thy future Harvest will be seen, Such as thy Life and Seed have been. XXIV. Zeal for thy God prolongs thy Days. Be circumspect in all thy Ways. Things done without a wise Forecast Have ruin'd Multitudes at last. Languages: English

And now another Day is gone

Hymnal: PGTG1756 #174 (1732) Lyrics: I. And now another Day is gone; The Sun has left the shore; All seek for Rest, whose Work is done, And leave the lab'ring Oar. II. But thou, my God, want'st no such Rest; Thy Glory knows no Night; With Thee thy Darkness can't contest, For Thou thy self art Light. III. In Mercy, Lord, remember me, This instant passing Night; And grant to me most graciously The Safeguard of thy Might. IV. Destroy old Satan's Tyranny, By th' Holy Angel's Host; So shall I be from Danger free; And Sorrow will be lost. V. And though I feel the Lord of Sin, Which still oppresses me, Yet th' Anguish thy dear son was in, Has greater Weight with Thee. VI. 'Tis he alone that pleads for me; His Merits hide my Drime: A Reprobate I ne'er can be While I've a Share in him. VII. With chearful Heart I close my Eyes, Since thou'lt not from me move. O, in the Morning let me rise Rejoicing in thy Love. VIII. Away from me, ye vain Desires: A new Design I start; A Temple in me God requires; And it shall be my Heart. IX. O, if this Night shall prove my last, And end my transient Days, Convey me to thy promis'd Rest, Where I may sing thy Praise. X. Thus I desire to live and dye To Thee the God of Love; In Life and Death I do rely On Thee who reign'st above. Topics: Evening Hymn Languages: English Tune Title: [And now another Day is gone]

Before thy Throne I now appear

Hymnal: PGTG1756 #171 (1732) Lyrics: I. Before thy Throne I now appear, O Lord, bow down thy gracious Ear To me; and cast not from thy Face A sinful Wretch that sues for Grace. II. Thou Father of Eternity, Thine Image hast impress'd on me: In thee I am, and live, and move' Nor can I breathe without thy Love. III. Oft hast thou snach'd me from Distress, And rais'd me oft when comfortless; When but a Step, nay, one Hair's Breadth Was 'twixt my tott'ring Life and Death. IV. My Sense and Reason come from thee; And Sustenance thou giv'st to me; A Christian Friend bestow'st withal, To aid me when I'm like to fall. V. Thou, SON! by thy most precious Blood Hast purchas'd everlasting Good: The cursing LAW thou dost repeal, And sav'st me from the Rage of Hell. VI. When Sin and Satan me impeach, And Conscience is within their Reach, As Mediator thou step'st in, And say'st me from the Curse of Sin. VII. My Intercessor and High Priest, My Joy, Truth, Comfort, and my Rest! Thy All-sufficient Merit is The Source of my eternal Bliss. VIII. Thou, HOLY GHOST! Supremest Good, Disposer of the Heav'nly Food, What can be counted good in me, But what proceeds alone from Thee? IX. Through thee, I now my God adore, And call him Father evermore; Through thee, thy Word and Sacrament I see and hold with great Content. X. Through thee, I'm in Temptation free From Fear and sad Despondency; Through thee, I'm quicken'd oft to taste The Sweets of thine eternal Rest. XI. This makes my Heart and Tongue rehearse Thy glorious Praise in faithful Verse, For all the Grace and Mercy free Thou, to this Hour, hast shed on me. XII. Beseeching thine Almighty Grace To aid me till I've run my Race: Whilst All thou hast conferr'd on me, Intirely is ascrib'd to Thee. XIII. Give me a Heart that is sincere, To love thy Truth, and persevere In real Christianity, And shun all foul Hypocrisy. XV. A blessed EXIT grant I make; And when, at last, I shall awake, O, let me see thy glorious Face, And reap the endless Joys of Grace.

Blest's the Man, whose upright Walking

Hymnal: PGTG1756 #70 (1732) Lyrics: I. Blest's the Man, whose upright Walking Contradicts ill Counselors; Nor gives Ear to Sinners Talking, But their wicked Ways abhors; Who removes with Care his Feet From the Place where Scoffers meet; And whose Heart is wholly given To obey the Laws of Heaven. II. Blessed, who with constant Pleasure Studies God's revealed Will; Seeing there for Heav'nly Treasure, Day and Night, his Soul to fill. He is like a living Tree, Which by gentle Streams we see, Stretching forth its fruitful Branches Till the gath'ring Time advances. III. Thus shall he put forth and flourish, Who reveres the sacred Word; All the Seasons him shall nourish With sweet Blessings from the Lord: Tho' through Age he may be grey, Yet his Leaf shall ne'er decay; All his Actions God so blesses, That they'r crowned with Successes. IV. Not so fares th' ungodly Faction, Who the Law of Life disown: They, like Chaff, in Wild Distraction, Shall be driven up and down. Where God tries his pious Race, Sinners can't abide the Place. All the Righteous, God doth cherish; But the Wicked all shall perish. Topics: Word of God Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English

Christ, by whose all-saving Light

Hymnal: PGTG1756 #24 (1732) Lyrics: I. Christ, by whose all-saving Light Mankind benefitted, Was for Sinners in the Night As a Thief committed. Dragg'd before a wicked court Of the Jewish Clergy; Where they try'd their worst Effort 'Gainst the Lord of Mercy. II. Sentenc'd early by this Crew, As the worst of Sinners, Came to Pilate, who foreknew This Tumult's Beginners: Though he judg'd him innocent Of their Accusation, Yet to Herod he was sent For his Arbitration. III. Then his holy Flesh was torn with inhuman Lashes, And his blessed Head in Scorn Crown'd of sinful Ashes: Cloathed in a Purple Dress, Mock'd, and beat, and bruised; Thus the Source of Holiness Was by Sin misused. IV. Then at Noon the Son of God To the Cross was nailed, Where his fervent Prayer and Blood For our Sins prevailed: The Spectators shook their Head Had him in Derision, Till the Sun-light mourning fled From so sad a Vision. V. When at Three they heard him call: Why am I forsaken; Stait was Vinegar mix'd with Gall Offer'd, but not taken: Then to God his Spirit sent, Shaking th' Earth with Wonder, Gave the Vail a thorough Rent, Cleft the Rocks asunder. VI. At th' approaching Evening Tide, Criminals Bones were broken; But the Spear pierc'd Jesus Side, For a lasting Token: Which pour'd forth a double Flood Of a cleansing Nature, Both the Water and the Blood Wash the guilty Creature. VII. Joseph, when the Eve was come, Took his dearest Master, Laid him in his Stately Tomb, Hewn in Alablaster; Nicodem, now void of Fear, Brought the richest Spices; Thus these holy Men paid here Their last Sacrifices. VIII. Grant, O Jesu, blessod Lord, By thy Cross and Passion, Thy blest Love may be ador'd By the whole Creation: Hating Sin, and woful Cause Of thy Death and Suff'ring, Give our Heart t'obey thy Laws, As the best Thanks-offering.

Christ, everlasting Source of Light

Hymnal: PGTG1756 #179 (1732) Lyrics: I. CHRIST, everlasting Source of Light, All Things lie naked in thy Sight; Thou Splendor of thy Father's Face, Teach us to tread the Paths of Grace. II. We come t'implore thy sov'rein Might, To keep thy Flock this instant Night From all the wiles of th' Enemy, O Father of Eternity. III. Remove our sinful Drowsiness; Shield us, when Satan would oppress; The feeble Flesh keep chaste and pure, And let us rest in Thee secure. IV. And when our Eyes are bound in Sleep, The Lamp of Faith still burning keep; And, oh, sustain us while we rest; And Sin remove, and we are blest. V. Great Guardian of thy Christian Flock, Thy Presence be our saving Rock; Thy Agony and bloody Sweat Be our Support in ev'ry Strait. VI. Forget not, Lord, the Pain and Woe That fast pursue us here below: The Soul, whou'st ransom'd by thy Blood, Unite with Thee th' eternal Good. VII. To God the Father and the Son, Who wears his Father's brightest Crown, And to the Spirit of his Grace, Be highest Majesty and Praise.

With Joy my Soul is ready To meet my Brother CHRIST: Our Union shall be steady, Our Love rais'd to the high'st. III.

With humble Resignation On CHRIST I lean my Head; At th' Hour of Expiration His Cross shall be my Bed. VI. Then, Lord, with Thee united, Display to me thy Bliss; And let my soul be plighted To endless Love and Peace.

Christ the eternal Lamb of God

Hymnal: PGTG1756 #58 (1732) Lyrics: I. Christ th' eternal Lamb of God, Died for Man, his Rebel-Creature, Pai'd the Ransom with his Blood, To restore fall'n human Nature: Those that mourn their deep Corruption Share their Saviour's blest Adoption. II. This was loving like a God, Who in wondrous Condescension Sent his only Son abroad, To reveal his blest Intention: That the Children of Perdition Should be Heirs of God's Fruition. III. Now that we are reconcil'd By the Son's Humiliation; Will not that Triumphant Child Save us by his Exaltation? We, for whom he bore such labour, Are the Darlings of his Favour. IV. Now we live by Faith in Christ, Eying still his bright Example, Who for us was sacrific'd, And declares our Hearts his Temple. Thus we Sinners boast with Pleasure The Possession of this Treasure. V. Father, to thy Mercy-Seat Be our best of Thanks directed; Lord, the Rage of Sin defeat, Still assaulting thine Elected: And for ever, by thy Spirit, Fit us to proclaim Christ's Merit.
