The Sower

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCCXLVI (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance First Line: Ye Sons of Earth prepare the Plough Lyrics: 1 Ye Sons of Earth prepare the Plough, Break up your fallow Ground! The Sower is gone forth to sow, And scatter Blessings round. 2 The Seed that finds a stony Soil, Shoots forth a hasty Blade; But ill repays the Sower's Toil, Soon wither'd, scorch'd , and dead. 3 The thorny Ground is sure to baulk All Hopes of Harvest there: We find a tall and sickly Stalk, But not the fruitful Ear. 4 The beaten Path, and High-Way Side Receive the Trust in vain: The watchful Birds the Spoil divide, And pick up all the Grain. 5 But where the LORD of Grace and Pow'r Has bless'd the happy Field; How plenteous is the Golden Store The Deep-wrought Furrows yield! 6 Father of Mercies, we have need Of thy preparing Grace; Let the same Hand that gives the Seed Provide a Fruitful-Place. Scripture: Matthew 13:4-9 Languages: English

The Midnight Cry

Ye pure in Heart, obtain the Grace To see, without a Veil, his Face. 4 Ye, that have here receiv'd The Unction from above, And in his Spirit liv'd, And thirsted for his Love; JESUS shall claim you for his Bride; Rejoice with all the Sanctify'd. 5 Rejoice, in glorious Hope, Of that great Day unknown, When you shall be caught up To stand before his Throne; Call'd to partake the Marriage-Feast, And lean on our Immanuel's Breast. 6 The everlasting Doors Shall soon the Saint, receive, Above those Angel-Powers In glorious Joy to live: Far from a World of Grief and Sin, With GOD eternally shut in. 7 Then let us wait to hear The Trumpet's welcome sound; To see our LORD appear, May we be watching found; With that bless'd Wedding-Robe endu'd,-- The Blood and righteousness of GOD. Scripture: Matthew 25:6 Languages: English

Deserters, to the Camp return

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LXIV (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Deserters, to the Camp return, Resume your former post, Bewail your Crimes, your Baseness mourn; For yet Ye are not lost. 2 Your's is a sad a dang'rous Case, Be humble, and repent; Mercy you'll find, tho' e'er so base, The Moment you relent. 3 Sinners are sav'd by Jesu's Blood, How vile so e'er thy be; Eternal Life's the Gift of God; And Gifts are always free. 4 'Tis not by Works of Righteousness Which any Man has done; But God has sent his Son to bless; Return, and kiss the Son.
