The Lord will provide

Author: Newton Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCCXXXVIII (1790) Scripture: Genesis 22:14 First Line: Tho' trouble assail and dangers affright Lyrics: 1 Tho' troubles assail and dangers affright, Tho' friends should all fail,and foes all unite; Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us, the Lord will provide. 2 The birds without barn and store-house are fed: From them let us learn to trust for our bread: His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be deny'd, So long as 'tis written, "the Lord will provide." 3 We all may, like ships, by tempests be tost, On perilous deeps, but cab not be lost; Tho' satan enrages the wind and the tide, Yet scripture engages, the Lord will provide. 4 His call we obey, like Abraham of old. We know not the way, but faith makes us bold; For tho' we are strangers, we have a sure guide, And trust in all dangers, the Lord will provide. 5 When satan appears to stop up our path, And fills us with fears, we triumph by faith: He cannot take from us (tho' oft he has try'd) The heart chearing promise, the Lord will provide. 6 He tells us we're weak our hope is in vain, The good that we seek, we ne're shall obtain But when such suggestions our graces have try'd This answers all questions, the Lord will provide. 7 No strength of our own, nor goodness we claim, Our trust is all thrown on Jesus' name; In this our strong tower for safety we hide The Lord is our power, the Lord will provide. 8 When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of his grace shall comfort us through; No fearing nor doubting with Christ on our side, We hope to die shouting, the Lord will provide.

Joseph made known to his brethren

Author: Newton Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCCXXIV (1790) Scripture: Genesis 45:3-4 First Line: When Joseph his brethren beheld Lyrics: 1 When Joseph his brethren beheld, Afflicted and trembling with fear His heart with compassion was fill'd, From weeping he could not forbear: A while his behaviour was rough; to bring their past sins to their minds; But when they were humbled enough, He hasted to shew himself kind. 2 How little they thought it was he, Whom they had ill-treated and sold! How great their confusion must be, As soon as his name he had told! "I am Joseph your brother, he said, And still to my heart you are dear, You sold me, and thought i was dead, But God for your sakes sent me here." 3 Tho' greatly distressed before, When charg'd with purloining the cup They now were confounded much more, Not one of them durst to look up. "Can Joseph, whom we would have slain Forgive us the evil we did? And will he our housholds maintain! O this is a brother indeed"! 4 Thus dragg'd by my conscience I came, And laden with guilt, to the Lord: Surrounded with terror and shame, Unable to utter a word. At first he look'd stern and severe, What anguish then pierced my heart Expecting each moment to hear, The sentence, "Thou cursed depart." 5 But oh! what surprise when he spoke, While tenderness beam'd in his face: My heart then to pieces was broke O'erwhelm'd and counfounded by grace Poor sinner I know thee full well, By thee I was sold and was slain; But I dy'd to redeem thee from hell, And raise thee in glory to reign. 6 I am Jesus whom thou hast blasphem'd, And crucify'd often afresh; But let me henceforth be esteem'd Thy brother, thy bone, and thy flesh My pardon I freely bestow, Thy wants I will fully supply; I'll guide thee and guard thee below, And soon will remove thee on high. 7 Go, publish to sinners around, That they may be willing to come, The mercy which now you have found And tell them that yet there is room. Oh, sinners, the message obey! No more vain excuses pretend; But come without further delay, To JESUS, our brother, and friend. Languages: English

Come thou font of ev'ry blessing

Author: Robison Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCCIV (1790) Scripture: 1 Samuel 7:12 Lyrics: 1 Come thou font of ev'ry blessing! Tune my heart to sing thy grace! Streams of mercy never-ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise: Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise the mount — I'm fixt upon it, Mount of God's unchanging love. 2 Here I raise mine Eben-Ezer, Hither by thy help I'm come; And I hope by thy good pleasure Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wand'ring from the fold of God; He to rescue me from danger, Interpos'd with precious blood. 3 O! to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrain'd to be! Let that grace, Lord like a fetter, Bind my wand'ring hear to thee! Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; Prone to leave the God I love - Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it; Seal it from thy courts above! Topics: Invitation Languages: English

Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm. 5 Sinners in judgment shall not stand Among the sons of grace, When Christ the judge at his right hand Appoints his saints a place. 6 His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well; But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell.

Remember, Lord our mortal state

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCXXVII (1790) Scripture: Psalm 89 Lyrics: 1 Remember, Lord our mortal state, How frail our life, how short the date Where is the man that draws his breath, Safe from disease, secure from death? 2 Lord, while we see whole nations die, Our flesh and sense repine and cry, "Must death for ever rage and reign! "Or hast thou made mankind in vain." 3 Where is thy promise to the just? Are not thy servants turn'd to dust? But faith forbids these mournful sighs, And sees the sleeping dust arise. 4 That glorious hour, that dreadful day, Wipes the reproach of saints away, And clears the honour of thy word: Awake our souls and bless the Lord.

Lord what a feeble piece

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCXXIX (1790) Scripture: Psalm 90 Lyrics: 1 Lord what a feeble piece, Is this our mortal frame?

And ev'ry month and ev'ry day, 'Tis mould'ring back to dust. 3 Our moments fly apace, Nor will our minutes stay; Just like a flood, our hasty day, Are sweeping us away. 4 Well if our days must fly, We'll keep their end in sight; We'll spend them all in wisdom's way, And let them speed their flight. 5 They'll waft us sooner o'er, This life's tempestuous sea: Soon we shall reach the peaceful shore, Of blest eternity.
