An Evening Song

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXXIII (1785) First Line: Dread Sovereign, let my evening song Lyrics: 1 Dread Sovereign, let my evening song Like holy incense rise; Assist the offerings of my tongue To reach the lofty skies. 2 Through all the dangers of the day Thy hand was still my guard; And still, to drive my wants away, Thy mercy stood prepar'd. 3 Perpetual blessings from above Incompass me around, But Oh, how few returns of love Hath my Creator found! 4 What have I done for him who dy'd To save my wretched soul? 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

For a New-Year's Day

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LXVII (1785) First Line: Eternal Source of every joy Lyrics: 1 Eternal Source of every joy, Thy praise shall every voice employ, While we within thy courts appear, And sing the bounties of the year. 2 As worlds of glory round thee roll, Thy hand supports the stedfast pole, Directs the sun what hour to rise, And darkness when to veil the skies. 3 The flowery Spring, at thy command Embalms the air, and paints the land; The blazing beams of Summer shine To raise the corn and cheer the vine. 3 Thy hand, in Autumn richly pours The copious fruits along the shores While wintry storms direct our eyes With fear and wonder to the skies. 4 Seasons and months, and weeks and days Demand returning songs of praise; The opening light and evening shade hall see the cheerful homage paid. 5 And Oh, may our harmonious tongues In worlds unknown pursue the songs; And in those brighter courts adore, Where days and years revolve no more.

A Hymn for Marriage

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LXVIII (1785) First Line: Great God, who form'd for social joys Lyrics: 1 Great God, who form'd for social joys Our natures by thy power and grace, And join'd in blest connubial ties, The parents of our favour'd race. 2 Our Saviour, our ascended Lord, In Cana once a heavenly guest, Whose bounty cheer'd the friendly board Whose presence grac'd the nuptial feast. 3 Attend with smiles of heavenly love, The pair thy sacred laws combine; Their union bless, their vows approve, And crown the rites with grace divine. 4 Let love assist their mutual toils, And every social bliss bestow; Increase each joy with friendly smiles, And share and soften every woe. 5 While each a kindly aid imparts, To run secure the heavenly race; And make their dwelling and their hearts, Perpetual temples of thy praise. 6 When death dissolves these sacred ties, May each to happier realms remove; There meet and range the peaceful skies, In bands of everlasting love.

Religion vain without Love

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXIX (1785) First Line: Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews Lyrics: 1 Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews, And nobler speech than angels use, If love be absent, I am found, Like tinkling brass, an empty sound. 2 Were I inspir'd to preach and tell All that is done in heaven and hell; Or could my faith the world remove, Still I am nothing, without love. 3 Should I distribute all my store To feed the bowels of the poor, Or give my body to the flame, To gain a martyr's glorious name — 4 If love to God, and love to men Be absent — all my hopes are vain: — Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal, The work of love can e'er fulfil. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 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.

Hosannah to Christ

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.VIII (1785) First Line: Hosanna to the royal Son Lyrics: 1 Hosanna to the royal Son, Of David's ancient line His natures two, his person one, Mysterious and divine. 2 The root of David here we find And offspring is the same; Eternity and time are join'd In our Emanuel's name. 3 Blest he who comes to wretched men With peaceful news from heaven! Hosannah of the highest strain To Christ the Lord be given! 4 Let mortals ne'er refuse to take Hosannah on their tongues, Lest rocks and stones should rise, and break Their silence into songs.

How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour king, "He reigns and triumphs here. 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this happy sound, Which kings and prophets long'd to know And sought, but never found! 4 How blest our ravish'd eyes, That see this heavenly light; Prophets and kings desir'd it long, But dy'd without the sight! 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord displays his arm Thro all the earth abroad: Let every nation now behold Their Saviour and their GOD.

Divine Glories and Graces

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LXII (1785) First Line: How faiir their thy glories here Lyrics: 1 How fair thy glories here display'd, Great God, how bright they shine; While at thy word we break the bread, And pour the flowing wine! 2 Here thy revenging justice stands, And pleads its dreadful cause; Here saving mercy spreads her hands, Like Jesus on the cross. 3 Our cheerful hope that waiting sits, To heaven directs her sight; Here every warmer passion meets, And warmer powers unite. 4 Zeal and revenge perform their part, And rising sin destroy; Repentance comes with aching heart, Yet ne'er forbids the joy. 5 Dear Saviour, change our faith to sight, Let sin forever die; Then shall our souls be all delight, And every tear be dry.

The Gospel Feast

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LIX (1785) First Line: How rich are thy provisions, Lord Lyrics: 1 How rich are thy provisions, Lord! Thy table furnish'd from above! The fruits of life o'erspread the board, The cup o'erflows with heavenly love. 2 Thine ancient family, the jews, Were first invited to the feast: We humbly take what they refuse, And Gentiles thy salvation taste. 3 We are the poor, the blind, the lame; And help was far, and death was nigh! But at the gospel call, we came, And every want receiv'd supply. 4 From the high way that leads to hell, From paths of darkness and despair, Lord, we are come with thee to dwell, Glad to enjoy thy presence here. 5 Our everlasting love shall flow, To him who left his blest abode, And fought these darksome realms delow, To bring us wanderers back to GOD. Scripture: Luke 14:16-23 Languages: English

Frailty and Folly

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.
