The Death of a Sinner

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXX (1785) First Line: My thoughts on awful subjects roll Lyrics: 1 My thoughts on awful subjects roll, Damnation and the dead; What horrors seize the guilty soul Upon a dying bed. 2 Lingering about these mortal shores She makes a long delay, 'Till, like a flood, with rapid force, Death sweeps the wretch away! 3 Then, swift and dreadful, she descends Down to the firey coast, Among abominable fiends, Herself a frightful ghost. 4 There endless crouds of sinners lie, And darkness makes their chains; Tortur'd with keen despair, they cry, Yet wait for fiercer pains. 5 Not all their anguish and their blood, For their old guilt atones; Nor the compassion of a God Shall hearken to their groans. 6 Amazing grace, which kept my breath, Nor bid my soul remove, 'Till I had learn'd my Saviour's death, And well insur'd his love!

Submission to afflictive providences

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.III (1785) First Line: Naked as from the earth we came Lyrics: 1 Naked, as from the earth we came, And rose to life at first, We to the earth return again, And mingle with our dust. 2 The dear delights we here enjoy, And fondly call our own, Are but short favours borrow'd now, To be repaid anon. 3 'Tis GOD that lifts our comforts high Or sinks them in the grave; He gives, and (blessed be his name!) He takes but what he gave. 4 Peace, all our angry passions then; Let each rebellious sigh, Be silent at his sovereign will, And every murmur die. 5 If smiling mercy crown our lives, Its praises shall be spread, And we'll adore the justice too, That strikes our comforts dead. Scripture: Job 1:21 Languages: English

Christ Crucify'd; the Wisdom and Power of God

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LVIII (1785) First Line: Nature with open volume stands Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands, To spread her Maker's praise abroad; And every labour of his hands Displays the wisdom of a God: 2 But in the grace that rescu'd man, His brightest form of glory shines; Here on the cross 'tis fairest drawn In precious blood and crimson lines. 3 Here I behold his inmost heart, Where grace and vengeance strangely join; Piercing his Son with shaprest smart, To make the purchas'd pleasures mine. 4 Oh! the sweet wonders of that cross, Where God, the Saviour lov'd and dy'd! Her noblest life my spirit draws From his dear wounds, and bleeding side. 5 I would forever speak his name In sounds to mortal ears unknown, With angels join to praise the Lamb, And worship at his Father's throne.

Heaven invisible and holy

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XVI (1785) First Line: Nor eye hath seen nor ear hath heard Lyrics: 1 Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard, Nor sense, nor reason known, What joys the Father has prepar'd For those that love the Son. 2 But the good spirit of the Lord Reveals a heaven to come; The beams of glory, in his word, Allure and guide us home. 3 Pure are the joys above the sky, And all the region peace; No wanton lips nor envious eye, Can see or taste the bliss. 4 Those holy gates forever bar Pollution, sin, and shame; None shall obtain admittance there, But foll'wers of the Lamb. 5 He keeps the Father's book of life, There all their names are found. The hypocrite in vain shall strive To tread the heavenly ground. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 Languages: English

Regeneration

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XV (1785) First Line: Not all the outward forms on earth Lyrics: 1 Not all the outward forms on earth, Nor rites that GOD has given, Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth, Can raise a soul to heaven. 2 The sovereign will of GOD alone Creates us heirs of grace; Born in the image of his Son, A new peculiar race. 3 The spirit, like some heavenly wind, Blows on the sons of flesh; Creates anew the carnal mind, And forms the man afresh. 4 Our quickened souls awake — and rise From the long sleep of death; On heavenly things we fix our eyes, And praise employs our breath. Scripture: John 1:13 Languages: English

Advice to Youth

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XIII (1785) First Line: Now in the heat of youthful blood Lyrics: 1 Now, in the heat of youthful blood, Remember your Creator God: Behold, the months come hastening on, When you shall say — my joys are gone! 2 Behold the aged sinner goes, Laden with guilt and heavy woes, Down to the regions of the dead, With bitterest curses on his head. 3 The dust returns to dust again; The soul, in agonies of pain, Ascends to God; not there to dwell, But hears her doom, and sinks to hell. 4 Eternal king! I fear thy name; Teach me to know — how frail I am — And when my soul must hence remove, Give me a mansion in thy love. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 7:1 Languages: English

For a vacant Congregation

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LXVI (1785) First Line: O God of heaven, whose gentle ray Lyrics: 1 O God of heaven, whose gentle ray, Illumes the worlds of light, Thy wisdom rules the realms of day, And leads the host of night. 2 Behold thy waiting servants stand, And claim with feeble cries, Some skilful guide with gentle hand To lead us to the skies. 3 While absent from thy temple, Lord Like wandering flocks we stray We lose the memory of thy word And waste the sacred day. 4 And when, within these walls of thine We find our wonted place; How faint our feeble voices join To seek thy pardoning grace. 5 Almighty Saviour, hear our prayer, Some chosen servant raise, For us the bread of life to share And help our lips to praise. 6 Then in thy house, with joy unknown We'll raise a nobler song, Till we shall meet around thy throne, And join the heavenly throng.

Christ our strength

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.VII (1785) First Line: Oh, let me hear my Saviour say Lyrics: 1 Oh, let me hear my Saviour say, Thy strength be equal to thy day, Then I'll rejoice in deep distress, And trust secure his sovereign grace. 2 My weakness shall my glory prove, That power may aid me from above; When flesh is weak, my soul is strong; Be grace my shield and Christ my song. 3 All things I do, all sufferings bear While God, my strength is with me here; But, he withdrawn, temptations reign, And pains and weakness rise again. 4 So Sampson, when his locks were lost, First bow'd beneath Philistia's host; Shook his vain limbs with sore surprise, Made feeble fight, and lost his eyes. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:7 Languages: English

Circumcision and Baptism

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LII (1785) First Line: Once did the sons of Abra'm pass Lyrics: 1 Once did the sons of Abra'm pass Beneath the bloody seal of grace; The young disciples bore the yoke, 'Till Christ the painful bondage broke. 2 By milder ways doth Jesus prove His Father's covenant, and his love; He seals, to saints his glorious grace, And kindly owns their infant race. 3 Their seed is sprinkled with his blood, Their children set a-part for God; His spirit on their offspring's shed, Like water pour'd upon the head. 4 Let every saint, with cheerful voice, In this large covenant rejoice; Young children, in their early days Shall give the God of Abra'm praise.

A Morning Song

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXXII (1785) First Line: Once more, my soul, the rising day Lyrics: 1 Once more, my soul, the rising day Salutes thy waking eyes; Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay To him who rolls the skies. 2 Night unto night his name repeats, The day renews the sound, Wide as the heaven, on which he sits To turn the seasons round. 3 'Tis he supports my mortal frame, My tongue shall speak his praise; My sins would rouze his wrath to flame — And yet his wrath delays! 4 A thousand wretched souls are fled Since the Last setting sun, And yet thou lengthenest out my thread, And yet my moments run. 5 Dear God, let all my hours be thine, While I enjoy the light; Then shall my sun in smiles decline, And bring a peaceful night.
