Eternal King, enthron'd above

Hymnal: PDHS1789 #H56 (1789) Lyrics: 1 Eternal King, enthron'd above, Look down in faithfulness and love, Prepare our hearts to seek thy face, And grant us thy reviving grace. 2 Long have we heard the joyful call, But yet our faith and love are small; Our hearts are torn with worldly cares, And all our paths are fill'd with snares. 3 Unworthy to approach thy throne, Our trust is fix'd on Christ alone; In him thy cov'nant stands secure, And will from age to age endure. 4 O let us hear thy pard'ning voice, And bid our mourning hearts rejoice; Revive our souls, our faith renew, Prepare for duties now in view. 5 Make all our spices flow abroad, A grateful incense to our God; Let hope and love and joy appear, And ev'ry grace be active here.

The Justice of God

Hymnal: PDHS1789 #H4 (1789) First Line: Eternal King, the greatest, best Lyrics: 1 Eternal King! the greatest, best, For ever glorious, ever blest; The great I AM, Jehovah, Lord, By seraphim and saint ador'd. 2 Exalted in perfections bright, Too dazzlihg far for mortal sight, Thou reign'st supreme o'er those who dwell In heav'n above, on earth, or hell. 3 Thy creatures all on thee depend Their beings author, and their end; The God who made, upholds them still And rules them by his sov'reign will. 4 Tho' cloth'd with majesty and might, The judge of all the world does right, In equal balance holds the scale Where truth and equity prevail. 5 Justice, the firm foundation lays, Of all thy laws, thy works, and ways; Obedient souls will ever find A God that's faithful, loving, kind. 6 But he who sins, must die accurs'd, A God all mercy is unjust; Curs'd is the man who dares withdraw Obedience from thy holy law. 7 Where then great God, or how shall we Approach thy dreadful majesty! Thy sacred law we oft have broke, And stand obnoxious to thy stroke. 8 But O thou holy, just, and true! Tho' justice must have all its due, Thou can's be just, yet justify, The soul that doth on Christ rely. 9 O boundless wisdom, love, and pow'r! Thy matchless mercy we adore, That found out this amazing plan To save thy ruin'd creature man. 10 We plead the suff'rings of thy Son, We plead his righteousness alone; He bore the curse, whence thou art just In pard'ning those who were accurs'd.

Eternal source of ev'ry joy!

Hymnal: PDHS1789 #H74 (1789) Lyrics: 1 Eternal source of ev'y joy! Thy praise shall ev'ry voice employ, While in thy temple we appear, To hail thee, Sov'reign of the year. 2 Wide as the wheels of nature roll, Thy hand supports and guides the whole: The sun is taught by thee to rise, And darkness when to veil the skies. 3 The flow'ry spring, at thy command, Perfumes the air and paints the land; The summer rays with vigor shine To raise the corn and cheer the vine. 4 Thy hand, in autumn richly pours Thro' all our coasts redundant stores; While winter's, soften'd by thy care, NO face of want or horror wear. 5 Seasons, and months, and weeks, and days Demand successive songs of praise; And be the grateful homage paid, With morning light, and evening shade. 6 Here in thy house let incense rise, And circling sabbaths bless our eyes, 'Till to those brighter courts we soar, Where days and years revolve no more.

Honour to Magistrates

Hymnal: PDHS1789 #H39.II (1789) First Line: Eternal Sov'reign of the sky Lyrics: 4 Eternal Sov'reign of the sky, And Lord of all below, We mortals to thy majesty Our first obedience owe. 5 Our souls adore thy throne supreme, And bless thy providence, For magistrates of various name, Our glory and defence. 6 Where laws and liberty combine To make the nation bless'd; There magistrates with lustre shine, And States are govern'd best. 7 Nations on firm foundations stand, While virtue finds reward; And sinners perish from the land By justice and the sword. 8 To magistrates be honour paid, To laws obedience shown; But consciences and souls were made To be the Lord's alone.

Faith

Hymnal: PDHS1789 #H7.II (1789) First Line: Faith! — 'tis a precious grace Lyrics: 8 Faith! - 'tis a precious grace, Where'er it is bestow'd! It boasts of a celestial birth, And is the gift of God! 9 Jesus it owns a King, An all-atoning Priest, It claims no merit of its own, But finds it all in Christ. 10 To him it leads the soul, When fill'd with deep distress; Appropriates his precious blood, And trusts his righteousness. 11 Since 'tis thy work alone, And that divinely free; Lord, send the spirit of thy Son To work this faith in me.

Frequent the day of God returns

Hymnal: PDHS1789 #H92 (1789) Lyrics: 1 Frequent the day of God returns To shed its quickening beams; And yet how slow devotion burns! How languid are its flames! 2 Accept our faint attempts to love, Our frailties, Lord, forgive; We would be like thy saints above, And praise thee while we live. 3 Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope, And fit us to ascend, Where the assembly ne'er breaks up, The sabbath ne'er shall end.

Glory to God on high

Hymnal: PDHS1789 #H73 (1789) Lyrics: 1 Glory to God on high; Our peace is made with heav'n; The Son of god came down to die, That sin might be forgiv'n. 2 His precious blood was shed, His body bruis'd, for sin: Remember this in eating bread, And this in drinking wine. 3 Approach his royal board, In his rich garments clad; Join ev'ry tongue to praise the Lord; And ev'ry heart be glad. 4 The Father gives the Son; The Son his flesh and blood: The Spir't applies, and faith puts on The righteousness of God. 5 Sinners, the gift receive; And each say, "I am chief: "Thou know'st, O Lord, I would believe; "Oh! help my unbelief." 6 Lord, help us from above: The pow'r is all thy won, Faith is thy gift, and hope, and love; For of ourselves we've none.

Providence

Hymnal: PDHS1789 #H10 (1789) First Line: God moves in a mysterious way Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs, And works his sov'reign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take, The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning Providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

God of our lives thy constant care
