Pharisee and Publican

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXVI (1785) First Line: Behold how sinners disagree Lyrics: 1 Behold how sinners disagree, The Publican and Pharisee! One doth his righteousness proclaim, The other owns his guilt and shame. 3 This man at humble distance stands, And cries for grace with lifted hands; That boldly rises near the throne, And talks of duties he has done. 3 The Lord their different language knows, And different answers he bestows; The humble soul, with grace he crowns, While on the proud his anger frowns. 4 Dear Father, let me never be Join'd with the boasting Pharisee; I have no merits of my own But plead the sufferings of thy Son. Scripture: Luke 23:10 Languages: English

Who but the Son shall take the book, And open every seal? 4 He shall accomplish thy decrees, And all thy wonders tell; Lo! in his sovereign hand, the keys Of heaven, and death, and hell. 5 He hath redeem'd our souls with blood, Hath broke their prisoners chain; Hath made us kings and priests with GOD, And we with him shall reign. 6 Now, to the Lamb, that once was slain, Be endless blessings paid; With saints and angels fill his train, And glories crown his head.

How are my follies multiply'd, Fast as my minutes roll! 5 Lord, with this guilty heart of mine, To thy dear cross I flee; And to thy grace my soul resign, To be renew'd by thee. 6 Sprinkled afresh with pardoning blood, I'd lay me down to rest; As in th' embraces of my God, Or on my Saviour's breast Languages: English

Christ's Ascension

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LXIX (1785) First Line: Hail the day that sees him rise Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that sees him rise, Ravish'd from our wishful eyes; Christ awhile to mortals given, Re-ascends his native heaven; There the pompous triumph waits, Lift your heads, eternal gates; Wide unfold the radiant scene, Take the King of glory in. 2 Him tho' highest heav'n receives, Still he loves the earth he leaves; Though returning to his throne, Still he calls mankind his own; Still for us he intercedes, Prevalent his death he pleads, Next himself prepares our place, Harbinger of human race. 3 Master, may we ever say, Taken from our world away, See thy faithful servants, see, Ever gazing up to thee; Grant, though parted from our sight, High above yon azure height, Grant our souls may thither rise, Following thee beyond the skies. 4 Ever upward let us move, Wafted on the wings of love; Looking when our Lord shall come, Longing for a happier home; There we shall with thee remain, Partners of thine endless reign; There thy face unclouded see, Find our heaven of heavens in thee.

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXXVI (1785) First Line: How short and hasty is our life Lyrics: 1 How short and hasty is our life! How vast our souls' affairs! Yet senseless mortals vainly strive To lavish out their years. 2 Our days run thoughtlesly along, Without a moment's stay; Just like a story, or a song, We pass our lives away. 3 God, from on high, invites us home, But we march heedless on; And, ever hastening to the tomb, Stoop downwards as we run. 4 How we deserve the deepest hell, Who slight the joys above! What chains of vengeance should we feel, That break such cords of love! 5 Draw us, O God, with sovereign grace, And lift our thoughts on high, That we may end this mortal race, And see salvation nigh.
