An Entreaty for Mercy

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Eternity Happiness of the righteous Lyrics: 1 I'm bound for New Jerusalem, Thither my best beloved's gone: The righteous branch of Jesse's stem, 'Tis he I've fix'd my heart upon. 2 Fain would I climb above the skies, To see the beauties of his face; My faith would into vision rise, And hope would cease in his embrace. 3 I languish with extreme desire, The object of my love to see; O let me in love's flames expire, That I may with my Jesus be. 4 This life's a pilgrimage of care; When will the happy season come, That I shall breathe celestial air, And settle in my native home?

Stand, th' Omnipotent decree

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Security of the Righteous Lyrics: 1 Stand, th' Omnipotent decree, Jehovah's will be done! Nature's end we wait to see, And hear her final groan. Let this earth dissolve, and blend In death the wicked and the just; Let those pond'rous orbs descend, And grind us into dust. 2 Rests secure the righteous man; At his Redeemer's beck, Sure t' emerge and rise again, And mount above the wreck; Lo! the heavenly spirit towers Like flames o'er nature's funeral pyre; Triumphs in immortal powers, And claps his wings of fire. 3 Nothing that the just to lose By worlds on worlds destroyed; Far beneath his feet he views, With smiles, the flaming void; Sees this universe renewed-- The grand millennial reign begun; Shouts, with all the sons of God, Around the eternal throne. 4 Resting in this glorious hope, To be at last restored, Yield we now our bodies up To earthquake, plague, or sword; Listening for the call divine, The latest trumpet of the seven, Soon our soul and form shall join, And both fly up to heaven. Scripture: 2 Peter 3:10

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 282 hymnals Topics: End of the righteous and wicked; Love of God to the righteous, and hatred to the wicked Lyrics: Behold the glories of the Lamb Amidst his Father's throne; Prepare new honors for his name, And songs before unknown. Let elders worship at his feet, The church adore around, With vials full of odors sweet, And harps of sweeter sound. Those are the prayers of the saints, And these the hymns they raise, Jesus is kind to our Complaints, He loves to hear our praise. [Eternal Father, who shall look Into thy secret will? Who but the Son shall take that book, And open every sea]? He shall fulfil thy great decrees, The Son deserves it well: Lo! in his hand the sovereign keys Of heav'n, and death, and hell!] Now to the Lamb that once was slain Be endless blessings paid; Salvation, glory, joy, remain For ever on thy head. Thou hast redeemed our souls with blood, Hast set the pris'ners free; Hast made us kings and priests to God, And we shall reign with thee. The worlds of nature and of grace Are put beneath thy power; Then shorten these delaying days, And bring the promised hour. Scripture: Revelation 5:6-12

Ere the blue heavens were stretch'd abroad

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: End of the righteous and wicked; Love of God to the righteous, and hatred to the wicked Lyrics: Ere the blue heav'ns were stretched abroad, From everlasting was the Word: With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be adored. By his own power were all things made; By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's head, And angels fly at his command. Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars: Thy generation who can tell, Or count the numbers of thy years? But lo! he leaves those heav'nly forms, The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may hold converse with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. Mortals with joy beheld his face, Th' eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth! how full of grace! When through his eyes the Godhead shone. Archangels leave their high abode To learn new mysteries here, and tell The loves of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel. Scripture: Colossians 1:16

[The Lord, the highest God, Calls him his only Son; He bids him rule the lands abroad, And gives him David's throne. O'er Jacob shall he reign With a peculiar sway; The nations shall his grace obtain, His kingdom ne'er decay.] To bring the glorious news A heav'nly form appears; He tells the shepherds of their joys, And banishes their fears. "Go, humble swains," said he, "To David's city fly; The promised infant born to-day Doth in a manger lie." "With looks and hearts serene, Go visit Christ your King; And straight a flaming troop was seen: The shepherds heard them sing: "Glory to God on high! And heav'nly peace on earth; Goodwill to men, to angels joy, At the Redeemer's birth! [In worship so divine, Let saints employ their tongues; With the celestial hosts we join, And loud repeat their songs: "Glory to God on high! And heav'nly peace on earth; Goodwill to men, to angels joy, At our Redeemer's birth!"] Scripture: Luke 2:10-19
