Sov'reign of life! before thine eye

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXL (1789) Lyrics: 1 Sov'reign of life! before thine eye, Lo, mortal men by thousands die! One glance from thee at once brings down The proudest brown that wears a crown! 2 Banish'd at once from human sight, To the dark grave's unchanging night, Imprison'd in that dusty bed, We hide our solitary head. 3 The friendly band no more shall greet, (Accents familiar once, and sweet!) No more the well-known features trace, No more renew the fond embrace. 4 Yet, if our Father's faithful hand Conduct us thro' this gloomy land, Our souls with pleasure shall obey, And follow where he leads the way. 5 He, nobler friends than here we leave, In brighter, surer worlds, can give; Or, by the beamings of his eye, A lost creation well supply.

The darken'd sky, how thick it lowers!

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XCVIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 The darken'd sky, how thick it lowers! Troubled with storms, and big with showers; No cheerful gleam of light appears, But nature pours forth all her tears. 2 Yet let the sons of grace revive, God bids the soul that seeks him live; And from the gloomiest shade of night Calls forth a morning of delight. 3 The seeds of extasy unknown Are in these water'd furrows sown; See the green blades how thick they rise, And with fresh verdure bless our eyes. 4 In secret foldings they contain Unnumber'd ears of golden grain; And heav'n shall pour its beams around, Till the ripe harvest load the ground. 5 Then shall the trembling mourner come, And bind his sheaves, and bring them home; The voice long broke with sighs, shall sing, Till heav'n with Hallelujahs ring.

The God of love will sure indulge

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CLII (1789) Lyrics: 1 The God of love will sure indulge The flowing tear, the heaving sigh, When righteous persons fall around, When tender friends and kindred die. 2 Yet not one anxious murmuring thought Should with our mourning passions blend; Nor should our bleeding hearts forget Th' Almighty ever-living friend. 3 Beneath a numerous train of ills, Our feeble flesh and heart may fail; Yet shall our hope in thee, our God, O'er every gloomy fear prevail. 4 Parent and husband, guard and guide, Thou art each tender name in one; On thee we cast our every care, And comfort seek from thee alone. 5 Our Father, God, to thee we look; Our rock, our portion, and our friend; And on thy gracious love and truth, Our sinking souls shall still depend.

The heavens declare thy glory, Lord

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #LVI (1789) Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare thy glory, Lord In every star thy wisdom shines; But, in the volume of thy word, We read thy name in fairer lines. 2 Sun, moon, and stars, convey thy praise Round the whole earth and never stand; So, when thy truth began its race, It touch'd and glanc'd on every land. 3 Nor let thy spreading gospel rest, Till thro' the earth thy truth has run, Till it has all the nations blest, That see the light or feel the sun. 4 Great God of righteousness, arise, Bless the dark world with heavenly light, Thy gospel makes the simple wise, Thy laws are pure, thy judgment right. 5 Thy noblest wonders here we view, In souls renew'd and sins forgiven, Lord, cleanse our sins, our souls renew, And make thy word our guide to heaven. 6 Thy noblest wonders here we view. In souls renewed and sins forgiven: Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew. And make thy word my guide to heaven. Topics: The Gospel Dispensation The Glory and Success of the Gospel Languages: English

The Lord is my shepherd, my guardian, and guide

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XXXVII (1789) Lyrics: 1 The Lord is my shepherd, my guardian, and guide; Whatsoever I want, he will kindly provide; To the sheep of his pasture his mercies abound, His care and protection his flock will surround; If e'er from his fold they should wander abroad, His care will recall them, and fix their abode, Where himself, in the midst, with a provident eye, Will regard all their wants, and provide a supply. 2 The Lord is my shepherd, what then shall I fear? What danger can frighten me while he is near? Not when the time calls me to walk thro' the vale Of the shadow of death, shall my heart ever fail; Tho' afraid, of myself, to pursue the dark way, Thy rod and thy staff be my comfort and stay; For I know, by thy guidance, when once it is past, To a fountain of life it will bring me at last. 3 The Lord is become my salvation and song, His blessings shall follow me all my life long; Whatsoever condition he places me in, I am sure 'tis the best it could ever have been; For the Lord he is good, and his mercies are sure; He only afflicts us, in order to cure; The Lord will I praise while I have any breath, Be content all my life, and resign'd in my death.

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XXXV (1789) Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye. 2 My noon-day walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend; When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant. 3 To fertile vales and dewy meads, My weary, wand'ring steps he leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amidst the verdant landskip flow. 4 Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious lonely wilds I stray, Thy presence shall my pains beguile, The barren wilderness shall smile. 5 With sudden greens and herbage crown'd, And streams shall murmur all around. Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, 6 My stedfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still: Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dismal shade.

The Lord my shepherd is

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XXXIV (1789) Lyrics: 1 The Lord my Shepherd is, I shall be well supply'd; Since he is mine, and I am his, What can I want beside? 2 He leads me to the place, Where heav'nly pasture grows, Where living waters gently pass, And full salvation flows. 3 If e'er I go astray, He doth my soul reclaim, And guides me in his own right way, For his most holy name. 4 While he affords his aid I cannot yield to fear; Tho' I should walk through death's dark shade, My shepherd's with me, there. 5 The bounties of thy love Shall crown my following days; Nor from thy house will I remove, Nor cease to speak thy praise.

The Lord of glory reigns; he reigns on high

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #VIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 The Lord of glory reigns; he reigns on high; His robes of state are strength and majesty: This wide creation rose at his command, Built by his word and 'stablish'd by his hand: Long stood his throne, e'er he began creation, And his own Godhead is the firm foundation. 2 God is th' eternal King: Thy foes in vain Raise their rebellion to confound thy reign; In vain the storms, in vain the floods arise, And roar, and toss their waves against the skies; Foaming at heav'n, they rage with wild commotion, But heav'n's high arches scorn the swelling ocean. 3 Ye tempests, rage no more! ye floods, be still! And the mad world submissive to his will! Built on his truth, his church must ever stand; Firm are his promises, and strong his hand: See his own sons, when they appear before him, Bow at his footstool, and with fear adore him!

The spacious firmament on high

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #II (1789) Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav’ns (a shining frame!) Their Great Original proclaim. 2 Th’ unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator’s pow'r display, And publishes, to ev'ry Land The work of an Almighty Hand. 3 Soon as the ev'ning shades prevail The moon takes up the wond'rous tale, And nightly to the list'ning earth, Repeats the story of her birth: 4 Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 5 What though, in solemn silence, all Move round the dark terrestrial ball? What though nor real voice nor sound, Amidst their radiant orbs be found? 6 In Reasons ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; Forever singing, as they shine, "The Hand that made us is divine."
