In thine own Ways, O God of Love

Hymnal: ACNH1754 #VII (1760) Lyrics: 1 In thine own Ways, O God of Love, We wait the Visits of thy Grace; Our Soul's Desire is to thy Name, And the Remembrance of thy Face. 2 My Thoughts are searching, Lord for Thee. Amongst the Shades of lonesome Night; My earnest Pray'rs ascend the Skies Before the Dawn restore the Light. 3 Look how rebellious Men deride The tender Patience of my God; But they shall see thy lifted Hand, And feel the Scourges of thy Rod. 4 Hark! the Eternal rends the Sky, A mighty Voice before Him goes, A Voice of Musick to his Friends, But threatning Thunder to his Foes. 5 Come Children, to your Father's Arms, Hide in the Chambers of my Grace, Till the fierce Storm be overblown, And my revenging Fury cease. Scripture: Isaiah 26:8-20 Languages: English

In vain we lavish out our lives

Hymnal: ACNH1754 #IV (1760) Lyrics: 1 In vain we lavish out our Lives to gather empty Wind; The choicest Blessings Earth can yield will starve a hungry Mind. 2 Come, and the Lord shall feed our Souls with more substantial Meat, With such as Saints in Glory love, with such as Angels eat. 3 Our God will every Want supply, and fill our Hearts with Peace; He gives by Cov'nant and by oath The Riches of his Grace. 4 Come, and He'll cleanse our spotted Souls, and wash away our Stains In the dear Fountain that his Son pour'd from his dying Veins. 5 Our Guilt shall vanish all away, tho' black as Hell before; Our Sins shall sink beneath the Sea, and shall be found no more. 6 And lest Pollution should o'er-spread our inward Pow'rs again, His Spirit shall bedew our Souls, like purifying Rain. 7 Our Heart, that flinty stubborn Thing, that Terrors cannot move, That fears no Threatnings of his Wrath, shall be dissolv'd by Love. 8 Or He can take the Flint away that would not be refin'd. And from the Treasures of his Grace bestow a softer Mind. 9 There shall his sacred Spirit dwell, and deep engrave his Law, And ev'ry Motion of our Souls to swift Obedience draw. 10 Thus will He pour Salvation down, and we shall render Praise; We the dear People of his Love, and He our God of Grace. Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-2 Languages: English

Jesus is gone above the Skies

Hymnal: ACNH1754 #XII (1760) Lyrics: 1 Jesus is gone above the Skies, Where our weak Senses reach Him not, And carnal Objects court our Eyes To thrust our Saviour from our Thought. 2 He knows what wandering Hearts we have, Apt to forget his lovely Face; And, to refresh our Minds He gave These kind Memorials of his Grace. 3 The Lord of Life this Table spread With his own Flesh and dying Blood; We on the rich Provision feed, And taste the Wine, and bless our God. 4 Let sinful Sweets be all forgot, And Earth grow less in our Esteem; Christ and his Love fill ev'ry Thought, And Faith and Hope be fix'd on Him. 5 While He is absent from our Sight, 'Tis to prepare our Souls a Place, That we may dwell in heav'nly Light, And live for ever near his Face. 6 Our Eyes look upwards to the Hills Whence our returning Lord shall come; We wait thy Chariots awful Wheels, To fetch our longing Spirits Home. Scripture: John 16:16 Languages: English

Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-2 Languages: English

Now shall my inward Joys arise

Is He a God, and shall his Grace grow weary of his Saints? 4 Can a kind Woman e'er forget The Infant of her Womb, Among a thousand tender Thoughts her Suckling have no room? 5 "Yet, saith the Lord, should Nature change, "and Mothers Monsters prove, "Sion still dwells upon the Heart "of everlasting Love. 6 "Deep on the Palms of both my Hands "I have engrav'd her Name; "My Hands shall raise her ruin'd Walls "and build her broken Frame.

Since Christ our Passover is slain

So count yourselves as dead to Sin, but graciously restor'd, And made henceforth alive to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:7 Languages: English
