The Pilgrim's Song

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LXX (1785) First Line: Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things, Tow'rds heaven thy native place: Sun, and moon, and stars, decay, Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepar'd above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course, Fire ascending seeks the sun, Both speed them to their source; So a soul, that's born of God, Pants to view his glorious face; Upward tends to his abode, To rest in his embrace. 3 Fly me, riches; fly me, cares, While I that coast explore, Flattering world, with all thy snares, Solicit me no more: Pilgrims fix not here their home, Strangers tarry but a night, When the last dear morn is come, They'll rise to joyful light. 4 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn, Press onward to the prize; Soon the Saviour will return, Triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and you know Happy entrance will be given, All our sorrows left below, And earth exchang'd for heaven.

The Deceitfulness of Sin

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LIV (1785) First Line: Sin has a thousand treacherous arts Lyrics: 1 Sin has a thousand treacherous arts To practice on the mind; With flattering looks she tempts our hearts, But leaves a sting behind. 2 With names of virtue she deceives The aged and the young; And, while the heedless wretch believes, She makes his fetters strong. 3 She pleads for all the joy she brings, And gives a fair pretence; But cheats the soul of heavenly things, And chains it down to sense. 4 So, on a tree divinely fair Grew the forbidden food; Our mother took the poison there, And tainted all her blood.

God the Thunderer; Or, the last Judgment, and Hell

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XLII (1785) First Line: Sing to the Lord ye heavenly hosts Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord ye heavenly hosts, And let the earth, adore; Let death and hell, thro' all their coasts, Stand trembling at his power. 2 His sounding chariot shakes the sky, He makes the clouds his throne; There all his stores of lightning lie, 'Till vengeance darts them down. 3 Before him rolls a fiery stream — And from his awful tongue A sovereign voice divides the flame, And thunder roars along! 4 Think, O my soul, the dreadful day When this incensed GOD Shall rend the sky, and burn the sea, And fling his wrath abroad! 5 What shall the wretch, the sinner do? He once defy'd the Lord; But he shall dread the thunderer now, And sink beneath his word. 6 Tempests of angry fire shall roll To blast the rebel worm; And beat upon his naked soul In one eternal storm.

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXVII (1785) First Line: So let our lips and lives express Lyrics: 1 So let our lips and lives express The holy gospel we profess; So let our works and virtues shine To prove the doctrine ALL DIVINE. 2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad The honours of our Saviour God; When his salvation reigns within, And grace subdues the power of sin. 3 Our flesh and sense must be deny'd, Passion and envy, lust and pride; While justice, temperance, truth, and love, Our inward piety approve. 4 Religion bears our spirits up, While we expect that blessed hope, The bright appearance of the Lord, And faith stands leaning on his word.

Death and Eternity

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXXV (1785) First Line: Stoop down, my thoughts, which use to rise Lyrics: 1 Stoop down, my thoughts, which use to rise, Converse a while with death; Think how a gasping mortal lies, And pants away his breath. 2 His quivering lip hangs feebly down, His pulses faint and few; Then speechless, with a doleful groan, He bids the world adieu. 3 But Oh, the soul, which never dies! At once it leaves the clay! Ye thoughts, pursue it where it flies, And trace its wondrous way. 4 Up to the courts where angels dwell, It mounts triumphing there; Or devils plunge it down to hell, In terror and despair! 5 And must my body faint and die? And must this soul remove? Oh, for some guardian angel nigh, To bear it safe above. 6 Almighty Saviour, to thy hand My naked soul I trust; My flesh shall wait thy kind command, To mingle with the dust. Languages: English
