Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #49a (1640) Publication Date: 1640 First Line: That City shall full well endure Lyrics: 1 That City shall full well endure
her ground-work still doth stay
Upon the holy hils full sure,
it can no time decay.
2 God loves the gates of Sion best,
his grace doth there abide:
He loves them more than all the rest
of Jacobs tents beside.
3 Full glorious things reported be
in Sion, and abroad:
Great things, I say, are said of thee,
thou City of our God.
4 On Rahab I will east an eye,
and bear in minde the same:
To Babylon eke apply,
and learne that know thy Name.
5 Loe, Palestine, and Tyre also,
with Ethiope likewise:
A people old full long ago
were borne, and there did rise.
6 Of Sion they shall say abroad,
that divers men of fame
Have there sprung up, and the high God
hath founded fast the same.
7 In their records to them it shall
through God's device appeare:
Of Sion that the chief of all
had his beginning there.
8 The trumpeters with such as sing,
therein great plenty be:
My fountaines and my pleasant springs
are compast all in thee. Scripture: Psalm 87 Languages: English

Father, thine eternal Kindness
Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #78 (1732) Publication Date: 1732 Lyrics: Part the First:
1 Father, thine eternal Kindness
Shelters me from final Blindness.
I in Christ behold thy Face.
And before the World's Foundation,
thou didst chuse me to Salvation;
Blest for ever be thy Grace.
II. Whilst I did, with wildest Fury,
Wound thy Truth and mock they Glory
Oh! who can thy Patience tell?
Who describe that vast Compassion,
Which weigh'd down thy Indignation,
And deliver'd me from hell?
III. Once I thought, Outside Profession
Put me firmly in Possession
Of Religion pure and true;
While, alas! all my Devotion
Was but empty airy Notion,
Mere Hypocrisie and Shew.
IV. Moral Duties and Dead letters
Are what vain sufficient Creatures
Build their Hopes of Heav'n upon.
Works, Outside and Ceremony
Make the Merit of a Many;
Losing these, their Hope is gone.
V. This was long my own lov'd Merit
Till, O Lord, thy Holy Spirit
All its Falsehood let me see:
Shew'd me all my Soul's Diseases:
That all Merit is in Jesus;
Not a single Grain in me.
VI. Oh, may I be daily dying
To a wretched World, and flying
All that's sinful, false and vain:
Making Christ my highest Treasure,
Firmest Trust and sweetest Pleasure,
All my Glory, all my Gain.
VII. Mortifie the Old Man in me.
To my Saviour's Likeness bring me.
Let me like a Phoenix rise
From its Predecessor's Ashes;
And with Beauty that surpasses
Mount at Length above the Skies.
Part the Second:
VIII. Some make Shadows all their Treasure,
Halt between base Fear and Pleasure,
Or run headlong down to hell;
Let my Faith take Wings and hasten
To that Cross, where Christ did fasten
All my Sins, for there I'll dwell.
IX. While on Works (true Faith declining)
Or on Talents gayly shining,
Some their own proud Trophies raise;
Be that glorious Gift of Heaven,
Faith that's to Salvation given,
All my Hope, and all my Praise.
X. If for Egypt's wretched diet,
Or for Sodom's hellish Riot,
Satan shall enflame my heart;
O! My God, do Thou restrain me:
O! bestow in Plenty on me
Grace to quench his fiery Dart.
XI. When Temptation near' has won me,
Pressing hard, and turning on me
All her Pow'rs and Arts and Charms;
In that Hour, My God, support me:
In that Hour, let Nothing hurt me:
Save, oh, save me in thy Arms.
XII. When in Seas of Trouble tossing,
Friends deserting, Terrors crossing,
All my Strength and Skill are vain;
From the threat'ning Dangers hide me:
Be my Pilot too, and guide me
Safe to Shore and Peace again.
Part the Third:
XIII. He that will not be deserted
Must in Jesus be inserted,
And become a fruitful Tree,
Hate all worldly Care and Pleasure,
Strive for Christ's most holy Treasure,
And avoid Hypocrisy.
XIV. Who in Christ seeks his Salvation,
Builds upon the best Foundation,
And of gaining Heav'n is sure
And this Trust in his Salvation
Ev'ry Evil and Temptation
Makes him firmly to endure.
XV. God of Mercy, bless thy Creature.
Form me to they Holy Nature.
Child-like Innocence be min.
Grant me Joy in thy Salvation:
Grant me this sweet Confirmation,
That I'm destin'd to be thine.
XVI. Resignation to all Trial,
Faith and Hope and Self-denial,
Be the Rulers of my Days.
Take me out of mere Profession
To a full and firm Possession
Of the Truth which Christ displays.
XVII. Mocks and Scorns at my Condition,
Babel's Cursing and Derision,
Will be Nothing in my Ear,
If my Saviour does not fly me.
If my Saviour stands but be me,
Where's the Rage I cannot bear?
XVIII. O Lord, heal my corrupt Nature.
Make, O make me a new Creature.
And confirm me with the Seal
Of thy Holy Gracious Spirit.
And abolish my Self-Merit,
And whate'er withstands thy Will.
XIX. Make me fond of still Recesses;
Where thy Love and thy Caresses
May enflame and fix my Heart,
To love, pleasure and adore Thee,
To walk faithfully before Thee,
And no more from Thee depart.
XX. Add my Friends and my Relations,
To thy Holy Happy Nations,
To the Empire of thy Grace.
Guide 'em by thy blessed Spirit:
Let 'em all at Length inherit
Everlasting Joy and Peace.
XXI. Bring both Jews and Gentiles to Thee:
Bring thy straying Sheep to know Thee:
From their Blindness set them free.
Call, Thou loving faithful Shepherd,
Call 'em from the barren Desart,
To confess and follow Thee.
XXII. Then shall all thy flock, united,
With their Lamps full trimm'd and lighted,
Keep the Marriage of the Lamb;
Their Redeemer ever praising,
Endless Hallelujahs raising
And Hosannas to his Name. Topics: True and False Christianity Languages: English Tune Title: [Father, thine eternal Kindness]
Father, thine eternal Kindness
Faithful God! I lay before Thee
Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #117 (1732) Publication Date: 1732 Lyrics: Part the First:
I. Faithful God! I lay before Thee
All the Anguish of my Heart:
Tho' thou know'st how Grief has tore me,
Better than I can impart:
Lord! my Weakness makes me cry,
In Temptation when I vye
With the Fiend, that would bereave me
Of the Faith design'd to save me.
II. Thou! from whom Nought is conceald,
Know'st how vain's my Care and Strife;
In thy Word thou hast revealed,
That free Grace restores my Life:
All the Good I find in me,
Doth proceed alone from Thee;
Thou thy saving Health bestowest
On those thou in mercy knowest.
III. Unto thee, my God! I'm crying,
In this great Necessity;
Hear my deep and frequent Sighing,
Cast me not away from thee.
Satan's malice overthrow,
Strengthen me against the Foe;
Ever keep my Faith from failing,
JESUS! make thy Grace prevailing.
IV. JESU! Source of our Adoption,
Thou, who never didst reject
Those that mourn their sad Corruption,
But dost all thy sons direct:
Tho' our Faith as small, through Fear,
As a Mustard Seed appear,
Thou canst make it O Faith's Fountain,
Mighty to remove a Mountain.
V. Let me find, O my Redeemer!
Mercy in mine Agony;
Make me conquer the Blasphemer,
And break from his Slavery:
Strength of Faith add by thy word;
Grant to me thy Spirit's Sword;
Thus shall Satan be deceived,
And his Darts of Paints bereaved.
VI. Holy Ghost, of equal Honour,
With the Father and the Son,
Of all Gifts the only Donor,
Hear me from thy Holy Throne;
Through thy Mercy I believe;
Let me not my self deceive,
But depend in my Unfitness
On thy all-sufficient Greatness.
VII. Rouze me up from present Dullness;
Thy good Work in me advance;
And relieve me, from the Fullness
Of thy gracious Countenance:
In me keep the Spark of Grace,
That with Joy I run the Race,
And obtain the Prize of SION,
Which I ever keep my Eye on.
Part the Second:
VII. Greatest GOD! beyond Relation,
Ever blessed ONE in THREE!
Thou alone art my Salvation,
Strengthen mine Infirmity:
Quench thou Satan's fiery Dart,
E'er it reach my trembling Heart,
Lest the Want of Consolation
Drive me into Desperation.
IX. Guard me from his vile Devices,
Which thou know'st are numberless;
Keep me free, when he intices,
From a fatal Carelessness:
Grant me such a Strength that I
May withstand him valiantly,
And avoid his secret paces,
Thro' thine all-sufficient Graces.
X. Reach thy Hand to thy frail Creature,
That is now in Terror fast,
Shrinking under feeble Nature,
Till the mighty Storm is past.
Lead me by the Holy Ghost,
So that Satan may not boast
Of his having disappointed
Me, thy Child, thou hast anointed.
XI. Come, O Mighty, whom I wait on;
Be my Rock and Confidence;
I've not Strength to combat SATAN.
Raise me to some Eminence;
And relieve me with thy Shield,
That I may obtain the Field,
Overcome that grand Destroyer,
That has ever been a Lyar.
XII. All my Life shall be employed
In thy Praise, with all my Might,
That the Fiend has been destroyed,
And with Shame has lost the Fight:
Glorious shall thy Mercy be,
Here, and in Eternity;
Heav'n and Earth, O great Jehovah!
Shall resound with Hallelujah.

Faithful God! I lay before Thee
From God, the Lord my Saviour
Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #134 (1732) Publication Date: 1732 Lyrics: I. From God, the Lord my Saviour,
I'll never swerve nor stray;
Whose Love, and kind Behaviour,
Doth never die away.
He always is the same:
He shortens all my sorrow,
And will relieve to Morrow,
Blest be his holy Name.
II. When I am disappointed
Of all Mankind's Relief,
I fly to the Anointed
Who softens all my Grief;
He ne'er denies his Love
To his distressed Creature,
Tho' my depraved Nature
He sharply doth reprove.
III. On him I am relying
E'en in the greatest Stress'
He's daily verifying
The many Promises
He in his Word has made;
My Life, my Breath and Motion
Shall be at his Devotion,
Whose Love can never fade.
IV. Hi gracious Inclination
Tends to my greatest Good,
Seeks all Minkind's Salvatin
By his own precious Blood,
In whom we are restor'd,
To his Paternal Kindness,
And sav'd from sinful Blindness.
His Name be e'er ador'd.
V. Praise him with Hearts and voices;
Which to that End were giv'n;
For CHRIST himself rejoices
To find our Thoughts in Heav'n:
All other Time is lost,
We spend in trifling Pleasures
Regardless of those Treasures,
Bought at our SAVIOUR"S Cost.
VI. And when the present Fashion
Of this deceitful World,
With all its Ostentation,
Down to its Doom is hurl'd;
Then those redeem'd by CHRIST
Shall from the Grave's Corruption
Be rais'd to sing th' Adoption:
Hosanna in the High'st!
VII. Thus, whilst I bear with Patience
The present Misery,
Due to my Disobedience;
Yet blest Eternity
I have within my View;
Where my Redeemer's Glory
Will change my mournful Story,
And form me quite anew.
VIII. This is the Father's Pleasure,
Who rais'd us from the Dust;
His Son has endless Treasure
Laid up for all the Just;
And God the Holy Ghost
Will shew the new Creation,
And bring us to that Station,
Where he shall love him most. Topics: Cheerfulness of Faith Languages: English
