The swift declining day

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXXXI (1789) Lyrics: 1 The swift declining day, How fast its moments fly! While evening's broad and gloomy shade Spreads o'er the western sky. 2 Ye mortals, mark its pace, And use the hours of light; And know its Maker can command An instantaneous night. 3 His word blots out the sun In its meridian blaze, And cuts from smiling vigorous youth The remnant of its days. 4 On the dark mountain's brow Your feet shall quickly slide, And from its airy summit dash Your momentary pride.

There is a God, all nature speaks

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XI (1789) Lyrics: 1 There is a God, all nature speaks, Thro' earth, and air, and seas, and skies, See, from the clouds his glory breaks, When the first beams of morning rise. 2 The rising sun, serenely bright, O'er the wide world's extended frame, Inscribes, in characters of light, His mighty Maker's glorious name. 3 Diffusing life, his influence spreads; And health and plenty smile around; And fruitful fields, and verdant meads, Are with a thousand blessings crown'd. 4 The flow'ry tribes, all blooming, rise Above the weak attempts at art; Their bright, inimitable dyes Speak sweet conviction to the heart. 5 Ye curious minds, who roam abroad, And trace creation's wonders o'er, Confess the footsteps of the God, And bow before him, and adore.

There is a land of pure delight

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXLV (1789) Lyrics: 1 There is a Land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-fading flowers; Death, like a narrow Sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand dress'd in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan roll'd between. 4 But fearful mortals start, and shrink, To cross the narrow sea; And linger, shiv'ring, on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 Oh! could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love, With unbeclouded eyes; 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er — Not Jordan's streams, nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

Thou, Lord, thro' ev'ry changing scene

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXLVIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, thro' ev'ry changing scene, Hast to thy flock a refuge been; Thro' ev'ry age, eternal God, Their pleasing home, their safe abode. 2 In thee our fathers sought their rest, In thee our fathers now are blest; Lo, we are risen (a transient race) A while to fill our father's place. 3 While travelling thro' life's varied road, We lean upon our fathers' God; On thee our stedfast hopes recline, Nor own, nor ask, a help but thine. 4 To thee our infant race we give; Them may their father's God receive; By sweet experience let them prove Thy mercy, thine unchanging love. 5 Thus voices yet unform'd shall raise A grateful tribute to thy praise; Our children learn the joyful song, And theirs the cheerful notes prolong. 6 Thou Saviour of the human race! Thou Fountain of exhaustless Grace! Thy mercy ages past have known, And ages long to come shall own. 7 So shall thy love, in strains sublime, Be sung to the last hour of time: Then shall eternity confess, Thro' all its rounds, thy matchless grace.

Thro' all the changing scenes of life

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XL (1789) Lyrics: 1 Thro' all the changing scenes of life, In trouble, and in joy, The praises of my God shall still My heart and tongue employ. 2 Of his deliv'rance I will boast, Till all that are distress'd, From my example comfort take, And sooth their griefs to rest. 3 O magnify the Lord with me, With me exalt his Name, To him in my distress I cry'd He to my rescue came. 4 With grateful hearts observe his ways, And on his goodness rest; So will your own experience prove That pious souls are blest. 5 For while his fear inspires your breast, His mercy will be nigh, To guard your lives from threat'ning ills, And all your wants supply.

Thy people, Lord, have ever found

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XCVI (1789) Lyrics: 1 Thy people, Lord, have ever found 'Tis good to bear thy rod; Afflictions make us learn thy law, And live upon our God. 2 This is the comfort we enjoy; When new distress begins, We read thy word, we run thy way, And hate our former sins. 3 Thy judgment, Lord, are always right, Though they may seem severe; The sharpest sufferings we endure Flow from thy faithful care. 4 Before we knew thy chastening rod, Our feet were apt to stray; Now may we learn to keep thy word, Nor wander from thy way.

Thy presence, everlasting Lord

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #LXXXII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Thy presence, everlasting God, Wide o'er all nature spreads abroad; Thy watchful eyes, which never sleep, In ev'ry place thy children keep. 2 While near each other we remain, Thou dost our lives and souls sustain; When absent, happy if we share Thy smiles, thy counsels, and thy care. 3 To thee we all our ways commit, And seek our comforts near thy seat; Still on our souls vouchsafe to shine, And guard and guide us still as thine. 4 Give us, in thy beloved house, Again to pay our grateful vows; Or, if that joy no more be known, Give us to meet around thy throne.

To-morrow, Lord, is thine

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXXXVI (1789) Lyrics: 1 To-morrow, Lord, is thine, Lodg'd in thy sovereign hand; And if its sun arise and shine, It shines by thy command. 2 The perfect moment flies, And bears our life away; O make thy servants truly wise, That they may live to day. 3 One thing demands our care; O be it still pursu'd! Lest, slighted once, the season fair Should never be renew'd. 4 To thee O may we fly, Swift as the morning light! Lest life's young golden beams should die In sudden, endless night.
