What vessel are you sailing in?

Author: Anon. Appears in 59 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What vessel are you sailing in? Declare to us the same. Our vessel in the church of God, And Christ our captain's name, And Christ our captain's name. Our vessel is the church of God, And Christ our captain's name. 2 And are you not afraid some storm Your bark will overwhelm? No, bless the Lord, we need not fear; Our Father's at the helm. 3 Our compass is the sacred word; Our anchor, blooming hope; The love of God our maintop sail, And faith our cable rope. 4 The sun is up, the clouds are gone, The heavens above are clear; The city bright, appears in sight; We're getting round the pier. 5 And when we all are landed safe On the celestial plain, Our song shall be, "Worthy's the Lamb For rebel sinners slain."

The Death Line

Author: Addison Appears in 85 hymnals First Line: There is a time—we know not when, a point—we know not where Refrain First Line: Oh, come today, do not delay, too late it soon will be Lyrics: 1 There is a time—we know not when, a point—we know not where, That marks the destiny of men to glory or despair; There is a line, by us unseen, that crosses ev’ry path, The hidden boundary between God’s patience and His wrath. Refrain: Oh, come today, do not delay, too late it soon will be; To Jesus fly, for mercy cry, He waits to welcome thee. 2 To pass that limit is to die, to die as if by stealth; It does not quench the beaming eye, nor fade the glow of health; The conscience may be still at ease, the spirit light and gay; That which is pleasing, still may please, and care be thrust away. [Refrain] 3 But on that forehead God has set indelibly a mark, Unseen by man, for man, as yet, is blind and in the dark; And yet the doomed man’s path below like Eden may have bloomed, He did not, does not, will not know nor feel that he is doomed. [Refrain] 4 He thinks or feels that all is well, and ev’ry fear is calmed; He lives, he dies, he wakes in Hell, not only doomed but damned! Oh, where is this mysterious bourn by which our path is crossed, Beyond which God Himself hath sworn that he who goes is lost? [Refrain] 5 How far may we go on in sin? how long will God forbear? Where does hope end, and where begin the confines of despair? An answer from the skies is sent, “Ye that from God depart, While it is called “today” repent, and harden not your heart.” [Refrain] Scripture: Genesis 6:3 Used With Tune: [There is a time—we know not when, a point—we know not where]

Give thanks to God the Sov'reign LORD

Author: Isaac Watts, 1647-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to God the sov'reign LORD; His mercies still endure! And be the King of kings adored; His truth is ever sure. What wonders has His wisdom done! How mighty is His hand! Heav'n, earth, and sea, He framed alone; How wide is His command! The sun supplies the day with light; How bright His counsels shine! The moon and stars adorn the night; His works are all divine. 2 He struck the sons of Egypt dead; How dreadful is His rod! And then with joy His people led; How gracious is our God! He cleft the swelling sea in two; His arm is great in might; And gave the tribes a passage through; His pow'r and grace unite. But Pharoah's army there He drowned; How glor'ous are His ways! And brought His saints through desert ground; Eternal be His praise! 3 He saw the nations dead in sin; He felt His pity move: How sad the state the world was in! How boundless was His love! He sent to save us from our woe; His goodness never fails; From death, and hell, and ev'ry foe; And still His grace prevails. Give thanks to God the heav'nly King; His mercies still endure: Let the whole earth His praises sing; His truth is ever sure. Scripture: Psalm 136 Used With Tune: AULD LANG SYNE
