Return, O God of Love, return
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P90d (1766) Topics: Frailty of Man Lyrics: 1 Return, O GOD of Love, return;
Earth is a tiresome Place:
How long shall we, thy Children, mourn
Our Absence from thy Face?
2 Let Heav'n succeed our painful Years,
Let Sin and Sorrow cease,
And in Proportion to our Tears
So make our Joys increase.
3 Thy Wonders to thy Servants show,
Make thy own Work complete,
Then shall our Souls thy Glory know,
And own thy Love was great.
4 Then shall we shine before thy Throne
In all thy Beauty, Lord;
And the poor Service we have done
Meet a divine Reward. Scripture: Psalm 90:13-17 Languages: English
Return, O God of Love, return
Blest are the souls that hear and know
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #113 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Frailty of man Lyrics:
Blest are the souls that hear and know
The gospel's joyful sound;
Peace shall attend the path they go,
And light their steps surround.
Their joy shall bear their spirits up
Through their Redeemer's name;
His righteousness exalts their hope,
Nor Satan dares condemn.
The Lord, our glory and defence,
Strength and salvation gives;
Isr'el, thy King for ever reigns,
Thy God for ever lives.
Scripture: Psalm 89:15-52 Languages: English
Blest are the souls that hear and know
For ever shall my song record
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #132 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Frailty of man Lyrics:
For ever shall my song record
The truth and mercy of the Lord;
Mercy and truth for ever stand,
Like heav'n, established by his hand.
Thus to his Son he sware, and said,
"With thee my cov'nant first is made;
In thee shall dying sinners live,
Glory and grace are thine to give.
"Be thou my Prophet, thou my Priest;
Thy children shall be ever blest;
Thou art my chosen King: thy throne
Shall stand eternal like my own.
"There's none of all my sons above
So much my image or my love;
Celestial powers thy subjects are:
Then what can earth to thee compare?
"David, my servant, whom I chose
To guard my flock, to crush my foes,
And raised him to the Jewish throne,
Was but a shadow of my Son."
Now let the church rejoice and sing
Jesus, her Savior and her King;
Angels his heav'nly wonders show,
And saints declare his works below.

For ever shall my song record
Yet, saith the Lord, if David's race

"Yet," saith the Lord, "if David's race,
The children of my Son,
Should break my laws, abuse my grace,
And tempt mine anger down;
"Their sins I'll visit with the rod
And make their folly smart;
But I'll not cease to be their God,
Nor from my truth depart.
"My cov'nant I will ne'er revoke,
But keep my grace in mind
And what eternal love hath spoke
Eternal truth shall bind.
"Once have I sworn (I need no more)
And pledged my holiness,
To seal the sacred promise sure
To David and his race.
"The sun shall see his offspring rise
And spread from sea to sea,
Long as he travels round the skies
To give the nations day.
"Sure as the moon that rules the night
His kingdom shall endure,
Till the fixed laws of shade and light
Shall be observed no more.

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #160a (1740) Topics: Frailty of Man First Line: Lord, if thine Eyes survey our Faults Lyrics: 1 Lord, if thine Eyes surveys our Faults,
And Justice grows severe,
Thy dreadful Wrath exceeds our Thoughts,
And burns beyond our Fear.

By one Offence to Thee
Adam, with all his Sons, have lost
Their Immortality.
3 Life, like a vain Amusement, flies,
A Fable or a Song;
By swift Degrees our Nature dies,
Nor can our Joys be long.
4 'Tis but a few whose Days amount
To threescore Years and ten;
And all beyond that short Account
Is Sorrow, Toil and Pain.
5 [Our Vitals with laborious Strife
Bear up the crazy Load,
And drag those poor Remains of Life
Along the tiresome Road.]
6 Almighty GOD, reveal thy Love,
And not thy Wrath alone;
Oh! let our sweet Experience prove
The Mercies of thy Throne.

T' improve the Hours we have,
That we may act the wiser Part,

And his shall be the Praise.
