Communion with Christ and with Saints

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LVI (1785) First Line: Jesus invites his saints Lyrics: 1 Jesus invites his saints To meet around his board: Here pardon'd rebels sit and hold Communion with their Lord. 2 For food he gives his flesh; He bids us drink his blood; Amazing favour! matchless grace, Of our descending God! 3 This holy bread and wine, Maintain our fainting breath, By union with our living Lord, And interest in his death. 4 Our heavenly Father calls Christ and his members one: We are the children of his love, And he the first-born Son. 5 Let all our powers be join'd, His glorious Name to raise; Pleasure and love fill every mind, And every voice be praise. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Languages: English

The Book of God's Decrees

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XLVIII (1785) First Line: Let all the race of creatures lie Lyrics: 1 Let all the race of creatures lie Abas'd before their God: Whate'er his sovereign voice has form'd He governs with a nod. 2 Ten thousand ages ere the skies Were into motion brought; All the long years and worlds to come Stood present to his thought. 3 If light attend the course I run, 'Tis he provides the rays; And 'tis his hand that hides the sun, If darkness cloud my days. 4 Yet I would not too far enquire, Nor vainly long to see In volumes of his deep decrees, What lines are mark'd for me. 5 When he reveals the book of life, Oh, may I read my name Among the chosen of his love, The followers of the Lamb.

The invitation of the gospel

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.IV (1785) First Line: Let every mortal ear attend Lyrics: 1 Let every mortal ear attend, And every heart rejoice, The trumpet of the gospel sounds With an inviting voice. 2 Come all ye hungry starving souls, Who feed upon the wind, And vainly strive with earthly toys, To fill th' immortal mind; 3 Eternal wisdom has prepar'd A soul-reviving feast, And bids your longing appetites The rich provision taste. 4 Come, ye who pant for living streams, And pine away and die; Here you may quench your raging thirst With springs that never dry. 5 Rivers of love and mercy here In spreading oceans join; Salvation in abundance flows Like floods of milk and wine. 6 Great GOD, the treasures of thy love Are everlasting mines, Deep as our helpless miseries are, And boundless as our sins.

Love and Charity

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXVIII (1785) First Line: Let Pharisees of high esteem Lyrics: 1 Let Pharisees, of high esteem, Their faith and zeal declare; All their religion is a dream, If love be wanting there. 2 Love suffers long with patient eye, Nor is provok'd in haste; She lets the present inj'ry die, And long forgets the past. 3 She lays her own advantage by, To seek her neighbour's good; So God's own Son came down to die, And bought our lives with blood. 4 Love is the grace that keeps her power In realms of light above; There faith and hope are known no more, But saints forever love. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:2-7 Languages: English

Conviction of sin by the law

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XVIII (1785) First Line: Lord, how secure my conscience lay Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my conscience lay, And felt no inward dread, I liv'd awhile without the law, And thought my sins were dead. 2 My hopes of heaven were firm and bright, But since the precept came I stand convicted by its light, I find how vile I am. 3 I'm like a helpless captive sold Beneath the power of sin; I cannot do the good I would, Nor keep my conscience clean. 4 My God, I'll cry with every breath For some kind power to save, To break the yoke of sin and death, And thus redeem the slave. Scripture: Romans 7:8-24 Languages: English

The Example of Christ

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LIII (1785) First Line: My dear Redeemer, and my Lord Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer, and my Lord, I read my duty in thy word; But in thy life the law is best IN living characters exprest. 2 Such was thy truth, and such thy zeal, Such deference to thy Father's will — Such love, and meekness, so divine, I would transcribe, and make them mine. 3 Cold mountains, and the midnight air, Witness'd the fervor of thy prayer; The desert thy temptations knew, Thy conflict, and thy victory too. 4 Be thou my pattern — make me bear More of thy gracious image here: Then God, the Judge, shall own my name Among the followers of the Lamb.

The Death of a Sinner

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXX (1785) First Line: My thoughts on awful subjects roll Lyrics: 1 My thoughts on awful subjects roll, Damnation and the dead; What horrors seize the guilty soul Upon a dying bed. 2 Lingering about these mortal shores She makes a long delay, 'Till, like a flood, with rapid force, Death sweeps the wretch away! 3 Then, swift and dreadful, she descends Down to the firey coast, Among abominable fiends, Herself a frightful ghost. 4 There endless crouds of sinners lie, And darkness makes their chains; Tortur'd with keen despair, they cry, Yet wait for fiercer pains. 5 Not all their anguish and their blood, For their old guilt atones; Nor the compassion of a God Shall hearken to their groans. 6 Amazing grace, which kept my breath, Nor bid my soul remove, 'Till I had learn'd my Saviour's death, And well insur'd his love! Languages: English

Submission to afflictive providences

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.III (1785) First Line: Naked as from the earth we came Lyrics: 1 Naked, as from the earth we came, And rose to life at first, We to the earth return again, And mingle with our dust. 2 The dear delights we here enjoy, And fondly call our own, Are but short favours borrow'd now, To be repaid anon. 3 '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. 4 Peace, all our angry passions then; Let each rebellious sigh, Be silent at his sovereign will, And every murmur die. 5 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

Christ Crucify'd; the Wisdom and Power of God

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LVIII (1785) First Line: Nature with open volume stands Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands, To spread her Maker's praise abroad; And every labour of his hands Displays the wisdom of a God: 2 But in the grace that rescu'd man, His brightest form of glory shines; Here on the cross 'tis fairest drawn In precious blood and crimson lines. 3 Here I behold his inmost heart, Where grace and vengeance strangely join; Piercing his Son with shaprest smart, To make the purchas'd pleasures mine. 4 Oh! the sweet wonders of that cross, Where God, the Saviour lov'd and dy'd! Her noblest life my spirit draws From his dear wounds, and bleeding side. 5 I would forever speak his name In sounds to mortal ears unknown, With angels join to praise the Lamb, And worship at his Father's throne.

Heaven invisible and holy

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XVI (1785) First Line: Nor eye hath seen nor ear hath heard Lyrics: 1 Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard, Nor sense, nor reason known, What joys the Father has prepar'd For those that love the Son. 2 But the good spirit of the Lord Reveals a heaven to come; The beams of glory, in his word, Allure and guide us home. 3 Pure are the joys above the sky, And all the region peace; No wanton lips nor envious eye, Can see or taste the bliss. 4 Those holy gates forever bar Pollution, sin, and shame; None shall obtain admittance there, But foll'wers of the Lamb. 5 He keeps the Father's book of life, There all their names are found. The hypocrite in vain shall strive To tread the heavenly ground. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 Languages: English
