Hymn 5
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.5 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Naked as from the earth we came Lyrics:
Naked as from the earth we came,
And crept to life at first,
We to the earth return again,
And mingle with our dust.
The dear delights we here enjoy,
And fondly call our own,
Are but short favors borrowed now,
To be repaid anon.
'Tis God that lifts our comforts high,
Or sinks them in the grave;
He gives, and, blessed be his name!
He takes but what he gave.
Peace, all our angry passions, then;
Let each rebellious sigh
Be silent at his sovereign will,
And every murmur die.
If smiling mercy crown our lives,
Its praises shall be spread;
And we'll adore the justice too
That strikes our comforts dead.
Scripture: Job 1:21 Languages: English
Hymn 5
Hymn 6
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.6 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Great God, I own thy sentence just Lyrics:
Great God, I own thy sentence just,
And nature must decay;
I yield my body to the dust,
To dwell with fellow clay.
Yet faith may triumph o'er the grave,
And trample on the tombs
My Jesus, my Redeemer, lives;
My God, my Savior, comes.
The mighty Conqueror shall appear
High on a royal seat,
And death, the last of all his foes,
Lie vanquished at his feet.
Though greedy worms devour my skin,
And gnaw my wasting flesh,
When God shall build my bones again,
He clothes them all afresh.
Then shall I see thy lovely face
With strong immortal eyes;
And feast upon thy unknown grace
With pleasure and suprise.
Scripture: Job 19:25-27 Languages: English
Hymn 6
Hymn 7
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.7 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Let every mortal ear attend Lyrics:
Let every mortal ear attend,
And every heart rejoice;
The trumpet of the gospel sounds
With an inviting voice.
Lo! all ye hungry, starving souls.
That feed upon the wind,
And vainly strive with earthly toys
To fill an empty mind.
Eternal Wisdom has prepared
A soul-reviving feast,
And bids your longing appetites
The rich provision taste.
Ho! ye that pant for living streams,
And pine away and die,
here you may quench your raging thirst
With springs that never dry.
Rivers of love and mercy here
In a rich ocean join;
Salvation in abundance flows,
Like floods of milk and wine.
[Ye perishing and naked poor,
Who work with mighty pain
To weave a garment of your own
That will not hide your sin,
Come naked, and adorn your souls
In robes prepared by God,
Wrought by the labors of his Son,
And dyed in his own blood.]
Dear God! the treasures of thy love
Are everlasting mines,
Deep as our helpless miseries are,
And boundless as our sins.
The happy gates of gospel grace
Stand open night and day;
Lord, we are come to seek supplies,
And drive our wants away.
Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-2 Languages: English
Hymn 7
Hymn 8
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.8 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How honorable is the place Lyrics:
How honorable is the place
Where we adoring stand!
Zion, the glory of the earth,
And beauty of the land!
Bulwarks of mighty grace defend
The city where we dwell;
The walls, of strong salvation made,
Defy the assaults of hell.
Lift up the everlasting gates,
The doors wide open fling;
Enter, ye nations that obey
The statutes of our King.
Here shall you taste unmingled joys,
And live in perfect peace,
You that have known Jehovah's name.
And ventured on his grace.
Trust in the Lord, for ever trust,
And banish all your fears;
Strength in the Lord Jehovah dwells,
Eternal as his years.
[What though the rebels dwell on high,
His arm shall bring them low;
Low as the caverns of the grave
Their lofty heads shall bow.]
[On Babylon our feet shall tread
In that rejoicing hour;
The ruins of her walls shall spread
A pavement for the poor.]
Scripture: Isaiah 26:1-6 Languages: English
Hymn 8
Hymn 9
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.9 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: In vain we lavish out our lives Lyrics:
In vain we lavish out our lives
To gather empty wind;
The choicest blessings earth can yield
Will starve a hungry mind.
Come, and the Lord shall feed our souls
With more substantial meat,
With such as saints in glory love,
With such as angels eat.
Our God will every want supply,
And fill our hearts with peace;
He gives by cov'nant and by oath
The riches of his grace.
Come, and he'll cleanse our spotted souls,
And wash away our stains
In the dear fountain that his Son
Poured from his dying veins.
[Our guilt shall vanish all away,
Though black as hell before;
Our sins shall sink beneath the sea,
And shall be found no more.
And, lest pollution should o'erspread
Our inward powers again,
His Spirit shall bedew our souls,
Like purifying rain.]
Our heart, that flinty, stubborn thing,
That terrors cannot move,
That fears no threat'nings of his wrath,
Shall be dissolved by love.
Or he can take the flint away
That would not be refined;
And from the treasures of his grace
Bestow a softer mind.
There shall his sacred Spirit dwell,
And deep engrave his law,
And every motion of our souls
To swift obedience draw.
Thus will he pour salvation down,
And we shall render praise;
We the dear people of his love,
And he our God of grace.
Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-2 Languages: English
Hymn 9
Hymn 12
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.12 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Jesus, the man of constant grief Lyrics:
Jesus, the man of constant grief,
A mourner all his days;
His spirit once rejoiced aloud,
And tuned his joy to praise:
"Father, I thank thy wondrous love,
That hath revealed thy Son
To men unlearned, and to babes
Has made thy gospel known.
"The mysteries of redeeming grace
Are hidden from the wise,
While pride and carnal reasonings join
To swell and blind their eyes."
Thus doth the Lord of heav'n and earth
His great decrees fulfil,
And orders all his works of grace
By his own sovereign will.
Scripture: Luke 10:21 Languages: English
Hymn 12
Hymn 16
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.16 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Hosannah to the royal Son Lyrics:
Hosannah to the royal Son
Of David's ancient line!
His natures two, his person one,
Mysterious and divine.
The root of David here, we find,
And offspring is the same:
Eternity and time are joined
In our Immanuel's name.
Blest he that comes to wretched men
With peaceful news from heav'n!
Hosannahs of the highest strain
To Christ the Lord be giv'n!
Let mortals ne'er refuse to take
Th' hosannah on their tongues,
Lest rocks and stones should rise and break
Their silence into songs.
Scripture: Matthew 21:9 Languages: English
Hymn 16
Hymn 17
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.17 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O for an overcoming faith Lyrics:
O for an overcoming faith
To cheer my dying hours;
To triumph o'er the monster Death,
And all his frightful powers!
Joyful with all the strength I have
My quiv'ring lips should sing-
Where is thy boasted vict'ry, Grave?
And where the monster's sting?
If sin be pardoned, I'm secure,
Death hath no sting beside;
The law gives sin its damning power;
But Christ, my ransom, died.
Now to the God of victory
Immortal thanks be paid,
Who makes us conquerors while we die,
Through Christ our living head.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55 Languages: English
Hymn 17
Hymn 18
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.18 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Hear what the voice from heav'n proclaims Lyrics:
Hear what the voice from heav'n proclaims,
For all the pious dead;
Sweet is the savor of their names,
And soft their sleeping bed.
They die in Jesus, and are blest;
How kind their slumbers are!
From suff'rings and from sins released,
And freed from every snare.
Far from this world of toil and strife,
They're present with the Lord;
The labors of their mortal life
End in a large reward.
Scripture: Revelation 14:13 Languages: English
Hymn 18
Hymn 19
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.19 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Lord, at thy temple we appear Lyrics:
Lord, at thy temple we appear,
As happy Simeon came,
And hope to meet our Savior here;
O make our joys the same!
With what divine and vast delight
The good old man was filled,
When fondly in his withered arms
He clasped the holy child!
"Now I can leave this world," he cried,
"Behold, thy servant dies;
I've seen thy great salvation, Lord,
And close my peaceful eyes.
"This is the light prepared to shine
Upon the Gentile lands,
Thine Isr'el's glory, and their hope
To break their slavish bands."
[Jesus! the vision of thy face
Hath overpowering charms;
Scarce shall I feel death's cold embrace,
If Christ be in my arms.
Then while ye hear my heart-strings breuk,
How sweet my minutes roll!
A mortal paleness on my cheek,
And glory in my soul.]
Scripture: Luke 2:27 Languages: English
Hymn 19
