Father of faithful Abra'm, hear

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #553 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Missionary Hymn Lyrics: 1 Father of faithful Abra'm, hear Our earnest suit for Abra'm's seed, Justly they claim the softest pray'r From those adopted in their stead: 2 Outcast from thee, and scatter'd wide Thro' every nation under heav'n, Rejecting whom they crucified, Unsav'd, unpity'd, unforgiv'n. 3 But hast thou finally forsook, For ever cast thy own away? No--thou wilt bid them turn and look On him they pierc'd, and mourn and pray? 4 Come then, thou great Deliver'r, come, The veil from Jacob's heart remove; Receive thy ancient people home, That they may sing redeeming love.

Band of brethren, who are given

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #555 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Pastoral Lyrics: 1 Band of brethren, who are given To the Lamb of Calvary, Call'd to preach the reign of heaven, And the gospel jubilee; Jesus asks us: "Simon Peter, lov'st thou me?" 2 Lord, thou knowest that we love thee; Oh for grace to love thee more: Let our notes of praise now move thee Down upon our souls to pour Thy good Spirit, Then we all shall love thee more. 3 When the sacred page we ponder, Shine upon it from above, When we gaze with deepest wonder On the bleeding Saviour's love, Holy Spirit, Then our warm affections move. 4 Teach us all our high vocation, Fill us with the love of souls, Spread abroad thy great salvation From the centre to the poles, Till the Saviour Sees the travail of his soul 5 Grant us heav'nly strength and blessing, To be faithful to the end, Let not one thy love possessing Join at last th'Iscariot band! O the traitor! Save us, Jesus, from his end! 6 Sooner may the rocks and mountains Fall upon us from on high, And our life blood's deepest fountains In our inmost souls go dry, Than betray him Who to save us left the sky.

Sweet lenitive of grief and care! hen shall we reach those radiant courts, And all their joys and honours share? 5 Yet while these labours we pursue, Tho' distant from thy heav'nly throne, Give us a zeal and love like theirs, And half their heav'n shall here be known.

Till thine own power shall stand confess'd, And make Jerusalem a praise? 3 Look down, O God, with pitying eye, And view the desolation round; See what wide realms in darkness lie, And hurl their idols to the ground. 4 Lord, let the gospel-trumpet blow, And call the nations from afar, Let all the isles their Saviour know, And earth's remotest ends draw near. 5 Let Babylon's proud altars shake, And light invade her darkest gloom; The yoke of iron bondage break The yoke of Satan and of Rome. 6 On all our souls let grace descend, Like heavenly dew in copious showers, That we may call our God our friend, That we may hail salvation ours. 7 Then shall each age and rank agree. United shouts of joy to raise: And Zion made a praise by thee, To thee shall render back the praise. Scripture: Isaiah 62:6
