Th'angelic host around him bends, And 'midst their shouts THE GOD ascends. 3 All hail, triumphant LORD, Heaven with hosannas rings; While earth, in humbler Strains, Thy priase responsive sings: Worthy art thou, who once wast slain, Thro' endless years to live and reign. 4 Gird on, great GOD, thy sword, Ascend thy conquering car, While Justice, Truth, and Love Maintain the glorious war; Victorious thou, thy foes shalt tread, And sin and hell in triumph lead. 5 Make bare thy potent arm, And wing th'unerring dart, With salutary pangs, To each rebellious heart: Then dying souls for life shall sue, Numerous as drops of morning dew.

The Bible is justly esteemed

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #33 (1812) Lyrics: 1 The Bible is justly esteem'd The glory supreme of the land, Which shows how a sinner's redeem'd, And brought to JEHOVAH'S right hand. With pleasure we freely confess The Bible all books does outshine, But JESUS his person and grace, Affords it that lustre divine. 2 In every prophetical book Where GOD his decrees hath unseal'd, With joy we behold as we look, The wonderful Savior reveal'd: His glories project to the eye, And prove it was not his design, Those glories concealed should lie, But there in full majesty shine. 3 The first gracious promise to man, A blessed prediction appears, His work is the soul of the plan, And gives it the glory it wears. How cheering the truth must have been That JESUS the promised seed, Should triumph o'er Satan and sin, And hell in captivity lead! 4 The ancient levitical law Was prophecy after its kind, In types there the faithful foresaw The Savior that ransom'd mankind. The altar, the lamb, and the priest, The blood that was sprinkl'd of old, Had life, when the people could taste The blessing those shadows foretold. 5 Review the prophetical song, Which shines in prediction's rich train, The sweetness to JESUS belongs, And point out his sufferings and reign: Sure David his harp never strung With more of true sacred delight, than when of the Savior he sung, And he was reve'led to his sight. May JESUS more precious become-- His word be a lamp to our feet, While we in the wilderness roam, 'Till brought in his presence to meet! Then, then will we gaze on thy face, Our prophet, our priest, and our king; Recount all thy wonders of grace, Thy praises eternally sing. Scripture: Revelation 19:10 Languages: English

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #39 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, the thanks receive, Which thine unworthy servants give; Father of every mercy thou, Almighty, and all-gracious too! 2 In humble, yet exulting songs, Thy praises issue from our tongues, For that incessant boundless love, Which we and all thy creatures prove. 3 Fashion'd by thy creating hand, And by thy providence sustain'd, We wish our gratitude to shew, For all thy temporal blessings due. 4 But O! for this we chiefly raise the incense of admiring praise-- Thy love unspeakable we own, Which sent the willing Savior down. 5 And O! so deep a sense impress Of thy supreme unbounded grace, That anthems in full choir may rise, And shake the earth and rend the skies! 6 Make us in deed, as well as word, Shew forth the praises of the Lord, And thank him still for what he gives, Both with our lips and in our lives! 7 O that, by sin no more subdu'd, We might devote ourselves to God, And only breathe to tell his praise, And in his service spend our days! 8 Hail, FATHER, Hail eternal SON, Hail sacred SPIRIT, three in one! Blessing and thanks and power divine, Thrice holy Lord, be ever thine. Languages: English

God is a name my soul adores

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #40 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God is a name my soul adores, Th'Almighty THREE, th'eternal ONE! Nature and grace, with all their powers Confess the infinite unknown. 2 Thy voice produc'd the sea and spheres, Bid the waves roar, and planets shine; But nothing like thyself appears, Through all these spacious works of thine. 3 Still restless nature dies and grows; From change to change the creatures run; Thy being no succession knows, And all thy vast designs are one. 4 Thrones and dominions round thee fall, And worship is submissive forms; Thy presence shakes this lower ball, This little dwelling place of worms. 5 How shall affrighted mortals dare To sing thy glory or thy grace? Beneath thy feet we lie so far, And see but shadows of thy face! 6 Who can behold this blazing light! Who can approach consuming flame? None but thy wisdom knows thy might, None but thy word can speak thy name. Scripture: Job 11:7 Languages: English

The great Jehovah, who shall dare

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #42 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The GREAT JEHOVAH! who shall dare With him to tempt unequal war; What heart of steel shall dare t'oppose, And league among his harden'd foes. 2 At his command the light'nings dart, And swift transfix the rebel-heart: Earth trembles at his look and cleaves, And legions sink in living graves. 3 See Pharaoh sinking in the tide! See Babel's tyrant, mad with pride, Graze with the beasts! hear Herod roar, While worms his deity devour! 4 See from the turrets of the skies, Tall cherubs sink no more to rise; And trace their rank on thrones of light by heavier chains and darker night! 5 GREAT GOD! and shall this soul of mine Presume to challenge wrath divine? Trembling I seek thy mercy-seat, And lay my weapons at thy feet. Scripture: Job 9:4 Languages: English

Keep silence all created things

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #43 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Keep silence all created things, And wait your Maker's rod: My soul stands trembling, while she sings The honors of her God. 2 Life, death, and hell, and worlds unknown, Hang on his firm decree: He sits on no precarious throne, Nor borrows leave TO BE. 3 Chain'd to his throne a volume lies, With all the fates of men, With every angel's form and size, Drawn by th' eternal pen. 4 His providence unfolds the book, And makes his counsels shine; Each opening leaf, and every stroke, Fulfils some deep design. 5 Here, he exalts neglected worms To sceptres, and a crown; Anon, the following page he turns, And treads the monarch down. 6 Not Gabriel asks the reason why, Nor God the reason gives; Nor dares the fav'rite angel pry Between the folded leaves. 7 My God, I ne'er would long to see My fate with curious eyes, What gloomy lines are writ for me, Or what bright scenes shall rise. 8 In the fair book of life and grace May I but find my name, Recorded in some humble place Beneath my Lord the Lamb. Scripture: Daniel 4:34-35 Languages: English

Wait, O my soul, thy Maker's will

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #44 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Wait, O my soul, thy Maker's will, Tumultuous passions all be still; Nor let a murm'ring thought arise; His ways are just, his councils wise. 2 He in the thickest darkness dwells, Performs his work, the cause conceals; But tho' his methods are unknown, Judgment and truth support his throne. 3 In heav'n, and earth, and air, and sea, He executes his firm decree; And by his saints it stands confest, That what he does is ever best. 4 Wait then, my soul, submissive wait, Prostrate before his awful seat; And 'midst the terrors of his rod, Trust in a wise and gracious God. Scripture: Psalm 62:5 Languages: English

The Lord! how fearful is his name!

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #45 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Lord! how fearful is his name! How wide is his command! nature, with all her moving frame, Rests on his mighty hand. 2 Immortal glory forms his throne, And light his awful robe; Whilst, with a smile, or with a frown, He manages the globe. 3 A word of his almighty breath Can swell or sink the seas; Build the vast empires of the earth, Or break them, as he please. 4 Adoring angels round him fall, In all their shining forms, His SOVEREIGN eye looks thro' them all, And pities mortal worms. 5 His bowels to our worthless race In sweet compassion move; He clothes his looks with softest grace, And takes his title, LOVE. 6 Now let the Lord for ever reign, And sway us as he will, Sick, or in health, in ease, or pain We are his fav'rites still. 7 No more shall peevish passion rise, The tongue no more complain; 'Tis SOVEREIGN LOVE that lends our joys, And love resumes again. Scripture: Exodus 33:19 Languages: English

Ye humble souls approach your God

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #46 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye humble souls approach your God With songs of sacred praise, For he is good, immensely good, And kind are all his ways. 2 All nature owns his guardian care, In him we live and move; But nobler benefits declare The wonders of his love. 3 He gave his Son, his only Son, To ransom rebel worms; 'Tis here he makes his goodness known In it diviner forms. 4 To this dear refuge, LORD, we come, 'Tis here our hope relies; A save defence, a peaceful home, When storms of trouble rise. 5 Thine eye beholds, with kind regard, The souls who trust in thee; Their humble hope thou wilt regard, With bliss divinely free. 6 Great GOD,to thy Almighty love, What honors shall we raise? Not all the raptur'd songs above, Can render equal praise. Scripture: Nahum 1:7 Languages: English

When first the God of boundless grace

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #48 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When first the GOD of boundless grace Disclos'd his kind design, To rescue our apostate race From mis'ry, shame, and sin; 2 Quick, through the realms of light and bliss, The joyful tidings ran; Each heart exulted at the news, That GOD would dwell with man. 3 Yet 'midst their joys they paus'd awhile And asked with strange surprise, "But how can injur'd justice smile; "Or look with pitying eyes? 4 ["Will the Almighty deign again "To visit yonder world; "And hither bring rebellious men, "Whence rebels once were hurl'd? 5 "Their tears, and groans, and deep distress "Aloud for mercy call; "But ah! must truth and righteousness "To mercy victims fall?" 6 So spake the friends of GOD and man, Delighted, yet surpris'd; Eager to know the wond'rous plan, That wisdom had devis'd.] 7 The Son of GOD attentive heard, And quickly thus reply'd, "In me let mercy be reve'd, "And justice satisfy'd. 8 "Behold! my vital blood I pour, "A sacrifice to GOD; "Let angry justice now no more "Demand the sinner's blood." 9 He spake, and heaven's high arches rung, With shouts of loud applause; "He dy'd," the friendly angels sung, Nor cease their rapturous joys.

Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song

Hymnal: NSHS1812 #49(94) (1812) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song; The joy of my heart and the boast of my tongue: Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last, Hath won my affections, and bound my soul fast. 2 Without thy free mercy I could not live here; Sin soon would reduce me to utter despair: But, thro' thy free goodness, my spirits revive, And he that first made me, still keeps me alive. 3 Whene'er I mistake, thy kind mercy begins To melt me and then I can mourn for my sins; And, led by the Spirit to Jesus's blood, My sorrows are dry'd and my strength is renew'd. 4 Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart; Dissolv'd by thy sun-shine, I fall to the ground And weep to the praise of the mercy I found. 5 Thy mercy is endless, most tender and free; No sinner need doubt, since 'tis given to me; No merit will buy it, nor fears stop its course; Good works are the fruits of its freeness and force. 6 Thy mercy in Jesus exempts me from hell; Its glories I'll sing, and its wonders I'll tell; 'Twas Jesus my friend when he hung on the tree, That open'd the channel of mercy for me. 7 Great Father of mercies, thy goodness I own, And covenant love of thy crucified Son; All praise to the Spirit whose witness divine Seals mercy and pardon, and righteousness MINE.
