Love to our Neighbour; or, the Good Samaritan

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLVII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Parable of the Good Samaritan First Line: Father of mercies send thy grace Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies send thy grace, All powerful from above, To form, in our obedient souls, The image of thy love. 2 O may our sympathizing breasts The generous pleasure know: Kindly to share in others joy, And weep for others woe. 3 When the most helpless sons of grief In low distress are laid, Soft be our hearts, their pains to feel, And swift our hands to aid. 4 So Jesus look'd on dying man, When thron'd above the skies; And 'midst the embraces of his God, He felt compassion rise. 5 On wings of love the Savior flew, To raise us from the ground; And shed the richest of his blood, A balm for every wound.

The Prodigal Son

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXLVII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Parable of the Prodigal son First Line: See the rash youth, defil'd with sin Lyrics: Part I The sinner departing from God: 1 See the rash youth, defil'd with sin, Hear how he claims with haughty voice, To have his portion, and begin In vice and madness to rejoice. 2 His father gave with bounteous hands, Richly were all his wants supply'd; Thankless he took; in foreign lands Wasted in pleasure, pomp and pride. 3 In lust and wine he spent the whole, Forgot his Father and his home; Nor thought nor felt he had a soul Expos'd to meet the wrath to come. 4 The giddy crowd that round him throng, In every sinful folly join; Approve the mirth and chant the song That casts contempt on things divine. 5 Thus lur'd by charms of flattering vice, The rebel sees his substance fled; His friends forsake, his wants arise, For sin has struck his comforts dead. Part II The sinner under conviction: 6 With dying want the sinner cries, Nor thinks rebellion makes his pain; To strangers, far from home, applies, Nor seeks his Father's grace to gain. 7 See the poor wretch with hunger prest, Sunk low with swine to have a share; Alas! how far from peaceful rest, Tortur'd by conscience, guilt and fear. 8 'Tis thus the God of sov'reign grace Begins to bring a rebel home; The spirit shews his wretched case, And points a judgment still to come. 9 Now self-condemn'd to works he flies And thinks to cleanse a guilty mind, Still far from penitence, which cries To God for help, and feels resign'd. 10 Blinded by sin, to duty lost, He grasps the husks and hates the bread; Hill all his expectations crost, His hopes from self and means are fled. Part III The Sinner brought to true repentance: 11 Now see the Rebel raise his eyes, From dreaming folly just awake; His soul relents with strange surprise, And all his heart begins to break. 12 I starve, he cries, nor can I bear This death I feel in sinful lands, While servants of my Father share The liberal bounty of his hands. 13 With deep repentance on my tongue, I'll go and seek my Father's face, Unworthy to be call'd a son, I'll only ask a servant's place. 14 I'll tell him how I've griev'd his love, And basely fled his holy sight, How I've provok'd all heav'n above, Nor thought or done a thing that's right. 15 Far off his Father saw him come, And o'er him all his bowels yearn'd; He rose to bless and greet his son, And crown with grace his safe return. 16 The Rebel's heart with sorrow fill'd, Bled for the crimes, which he had done: Through all the Courts the triumph smil'd, And sang the Father's grace alone.

The prodigal Son; or, the repenting Sinner accepted

Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Parable of the Prodigal son First Line: The mighty God will not despise Lyrics: 1 The mighty God will not despise The contrite heart for sacrifice; The deep-fetch'd sigh, the secret groan Rises accepted to the throne. 2 He meets, with tokens of his grace, The trembling lip, the blushing face; His bowels yearn, when sinners pray, And mercy bears their sins away. 3 When fill'd with grief, o'erwhelm'd with shame, He, pitying, heals their broken frame; He hears their sad complaints, and spies His image in their weeping eyes. 4 Thus, what a rapturous joy possest The tender parents throbbing breast, To see his spendthrift son return, And hear him his past follies mourn!

The lost Sheep found; or, Joy in Heaven on the Conversion of a Sinner

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Parable of the Lost sheep found First Line: When some kind shepherd from his fold Lyrics: 1 When some kind shepherd from his fold, Has lost a straying sheep, Through vales, o'er hills, he anxious roves, And climbs the mountain's steep. 2 But O the joy! the transport sweet! When he the wand'rer finds; Up in his arms he takes his charge, And to his shoulder binds. 3 Homeward he hastes to tell his joys, And make his bliss complete: The neighbours hear the news, and all The joyful shepherd greet. 4 Yet how much greater is the joy When but one sinner turns; When the poor wretch with broken heart, His sins and errors mourns. 5 Pleas'd with the news, the saints below, In songs their tongues employ; Beyond the skies, the tidings go, And Heaven is fill'd with joy. 6 Well-pleas'd the Father sees and hears The conscious sinner weep; Jesus receives him in his arms, And owns him for his sheep. 7 Nor angels can their joys contain, But kindle with new fire: "A wandering sheep's return'd," they sing, And strike the sounding lyre. Scripture: Luke 15:3-4 Languages: English
