Wait on the Lord, ye heirs of hope

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XCIX (1789) Lyrics: 1 Wait on the Lord, ye heirs of hope, And let his word support your souls, Well can He bear your courage up, And all your foes and fears controul. 2 He waits his own well-chosen hour Th' intended mercy to display; And his paternal bowels move While wisdom dictates the delay. 3 With mingled majesty and love, At length he rises from his throne; And while salvation he commands, He makes his people's joy his own. 4 Blest are the humble souls that wait With sweet submission to His will; Harmonious all their passions move, And in the midst of storms are still. 5 Still, till their Father’s well-known voice Wakens their silence into songs; Then earth grows vocal with His praise, And heav'n the grateful shout prolongs.

When all thy mercies, O my God

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XLII (1789) Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love and praise! 2 O, how shall words with equal warmth The gratitude declare, That glows within my ravish'd heart? But thou canst read it there. 3 Thy providence my life sustain'd, And all my wants redrest, When in the silent womb I lay, And hung upon the breast. 4 To all my weak complaints and cries, Thy mercy lent an ear, Ere yet my feeble thoughts had learnt To form themselves in pray'r. 5 Unnumber'd comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestow'd, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flow'd. 6 When in the slipp'ry paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm unseen convey'd me safe, And led me up to man. 7 Through hidden dangers, toils and deaths, It gently clear'd my way; And through the pleasing snares of vice, More to be fear'd than they. 8 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes these gifts with joy. 9 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I’ll pursue, And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 10 When nature fails, and day and night Divide thy works no more; My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. 11 Through all eternity, to thee A grateful song I’ll raise; For, oh! eternity’s too short To utter all thy praise.

When Israel through the desert pass'd

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XXXII (1789) Lyrics: 1 When Israel through the desert pass'd, A fiery pillar went before, To guide them through the dreary waste, And lessen the fatigue they bore. 2 Such is the glorious word of God; 'Tis for our light and guidance given; It sheds its lustre all abroad, And points the path to bliss and heaven. 3 It fills the soul with sweet delight, And quickens its inactive powers; It sets our wandering footsteps right; Displays his love, and kindles ours. 4 Its promises rejoice our heart; Its doctrines are divinely true; Knowledge and pleasure it imparts; It comforts and instructs us too. 5 Ye favour'd lands, bless'd with this word; Ye saints, who feel its saving power; Unite your tongues to praise the Lord, And his distinguish'd grace adore.

When sickness shakes the languid frame

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXLII (1789) Lyrics: 1 When sickness shakes the languid frame, Each dazzling pleasure flies; Phantoms of bliss no more obscure Our long deluded eyes. 2 The the tremendous arm of death Its fatal sceptre shews; And nature faints beneath the weight Of complicated woes. 3 The tott'ring frame of mortal life Shall crumble into dust; Nature shall faint—but learn, my soul, On nature's God to trust. 4 The man, whose pious heart is fix'd On his all-gracious God, From ev'ry frown may draw a joy, And kiss the chast'ning rod. 5 Nor him shall death itself alarm; On heav'n his soul relies; With joy he views his Maker's love, And with composure dies.

Wherewith shall I approach the Lord

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Wherewith shall I approach the Lord, And bow before his throne? Oh! how procure his kind regard, And for my guilt atone? 2 Shall alters flame, and victims bleed, And spicy fumes ascend? Will these my earnest wish succeed, And make my God my friend? 3 Oh! no, my soul, 'twere fruitless all, Such off'rings are in vain; No fatlings, from the field or stall, His favour can obtain. 4 To men their rights I must allow, And proofs of kindness give; To God with humble rev'rence bow, And to his glory live. 5 Hands that are clean, and hearts sincere, He never will despise; And cheerful duty he'll prefer To costly sacrifice.

Who shall to thy chosen seat

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #CXIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Who shall to thy chosen seat Turn in glad approach his feet? Who, great God, a welcome guest On thy hallow'd mountain rest? 2 He whose heart thy love has warm'd; He whose will to thine conform'd, Bids his life unsullied run; He whose word and thought are one; 3 He who ne'er with cruel aim, Seeks to wound an honest fame; Nor to slander's tongue severe Bends with easy faith his ear; 4 Who, from servile terror free, Turns from those who turn from thee; And to each, who thee obeys, Love and honour ever pays; 5 What he swears, with stedfast will Ever ready to fulfil; Nor can bribes his sentence guide 'Gainst the guiltless to decide; 6 He who thus, with heart unstain'd, Treads the path be thee ordain'd, He, great God, shall own thy care, And thy constant blessing share.

Ye bless'd inhabitants of heaven

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #XXIV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Ye bless'd inhabitants of heaven, To God be all your praises given; O praise him in the realms that lie Above the reach of mortal eye. 2 Praise him, thou sun, that round the pole With restless course art seen to roll; Ye moon and stars, his praise repeat; Praise him, he heav'ns, his awful seat. 3 Nor let the heav'ns his praise confine: O, all ye earth, the chorus join; Ye beasts, that range th' uncultur'd soil, Or patient lend to man your toil. 4 Praise him, each bird that wings the air, Each reptile, nurtur'd by his care; And every wind, and every storm, That duteous his commands perform. 5 Ye youthful bands, and virgin choir, Each lisping babe, and hoary fire, Wake to his name your grateful songs; To him alone all praise belongs. 6 His glory earth's wide bounds o'erflows, Nor highest heav'n its limit knows: O come, your thankful voices raise, And consecrate to him your praise.
