One spark, O God, of heavenly fire

Hymnal: A Selection of Christian Hymns #357 (1818) Topics: Appendix Lyrics: 1 One spark, O God, of heavenly fire, To warm my heart with pure desire. To reach the realm above; Immortal glories round me shine, I'd drink the stream of joy divine And sing redeeming love. 1 O could I wing my way in haste, Soon with bright seraphs I would feast, And join their sweet employ; I'd glide along the heavenly stream, And join their most exalted theme Of everlasting joy. 3 Too mean this little globe for me, Nor will I e'er contented be, To feast on things so vain; Its greatest treasures are but dross, Its grandeur short, its pleasures cross'd, Its joys all mixed with pain. 4 But resting on my Saviour's arms, My soul enjoy transporting charms, Of everlasting love. There's life, there's joy, there's solid peace, A friendship that can never cease; A rock that cannot move. 5 O then my son! stretch every thought, To meet within the heavenly court, Above these mortal cares. Then with the angels let me rise, And find my seat above the skies, Where sins no more distress. 6 Then with an everlasting band, With kindred saints at God's right hand, My happy lot shall be; To sing, to shout, to reign, to rest, Forever and forever blest With thee, O God, with thee.

Ye citizens of Zion, who are a marching home

Hymnal: A Selection of Christian Hymns #358 (1818) Topics: Appendix Lyrics: 1 Ye citizens of Zion, who are a marching home, Let us unite together to call sinners to come, Unite our testimony to spread his name abroad, And all speak forth the glory of our ascended Lord. 2 This is a world of trouble and darkness all around, But they that follow Jesus, shall in his love abound, The straight highway of holiness is a way of peace and joy, That leads us on to glory above the starry sky. 3 Christians are one, their way is one, also their love is one, And light is one, and love is one, they all aim for one home, By this the world shall know us, that we are the sons of God, When we love one another according to his word. 4 The word of God, we all believe it came from above, That we God's will might here receive and understand his word, Then let us all receive it and publish forth the same; Walk by it in our practice and glorify his name. 5 And thus our faith will all be one, our practice the same, And thus we'll see that union and love will soon inflame, Our testimony thus agree to call the world to come, Declare that God has loved them, and gave to them his son. 6 We'll join and sing together, we'll join in solemn prayer, We'll join in sweet communion, and flock together there, We will not lord it over the heritage of God. Nor will we try to hinder those that's wash'd in Jesus blood. 7 And soon we'll leave the world behind and fly to peace and jov, Where singing hallelujah shall all our powers employ, We'll feast upon that heavenly fruit and walk the glorious plain, And shout and sing God's praise while God and heaven remain.

Come all ye that labor with sin's heavy weight

Hymnal: A Selection of Christian Hymns #361 (1818) Topics: Appendix Lyrics: 1 Come all ye that labor with sin's heavy weight, I pray give attention to what I relate; Of all wretched sinners I know I am chief, Yet Jesus my Saviour has granted relief. 2 When first I received the heavenly dove I thought I should always abide in his love; The fountain of mercy was boundless and free, Just suiting the case of a sinner like me. 3 The plan of salvation was all my delight, My vessel ran over by day and by night, I thought the whole world might his fulness receive, And wonder'd why sinners refused to believe. 4 The free love of Christ was my joy and my song, 'Till some did persuade me, my views were all wrong; Such strong consolation they deemed a bad mark, That christians were safest when most in the dark. 6 And more than all this, that the doctrine of grace Did only extend to part of our race; The few chosen favorites, for whom Jesus died, Must grope in thick darkness, to humble their pride. 6 A Sinner, they said, had no right to believe, Ti11 some Special gift he from heaven receive, And when he received it, to doubt and repine, Were needful to prove that the gift was divine. 7 Can this be religion, I thought with a sigh, But surely the Levites know better than I; Then founded my faith on the wisdom of man, And soon was induct'd to embrace the whole plan. 8 Beneath a new banner I soon did appear, And foolishly try'd to get others to fear; Although living christians had once been my choice, I now was unhappy to hear them rejoice. 9 The spirit was grieved and soon did withdraw, I let go the gospel and turned to the law; The spirit of bondage soon brought me to doubt, And under this bushel my candle went out. 10 My former task-master resumed, his throne, And under his pressure I often did groan, My sins which had once, by the gospel been slain, Were brought by the law into action again. 11 Against my corruptions I daily did strive, But no peace of conscience I thence could derive; I labor'd in pain with my burden of grief, In hopes that kind death would soon give me relief. 12 The sound of a going at length I did hear, And soon was convinced the Bridegroom was near; His presence awoke me, but O how distress'd! To find that his love had forsaken my breast. 13 While others around me his presence did feel, I stood like the son that came out of the field, The servants in raptures were lifting their voice, I wanted a kid with my friends to rejoice. 14 While sinners were pressing in crowds to come in, I groaned with the weight of my indwelling sin, I felt that my soul had gone farther astray, Than sinners who never had heard of the way. 15 I found that my legal endeavors were vain, No service of mine could his favor obtain, And since I had willfully chosen to doubt He justly had suffered my lamp to go out! 16 I solemnly promised if grace would return, I never would quench it, but still let it burn; My soul should forever resign to his will, And follow with pleasure his word to fulfill. 17 This humble submission that Jesus should reign, Soon opened the windows of Heaven again; And though for his sake I be counted a fool, I know that my heart has been made like pool. 18 My own private interest I cast at his feet, And in his salvation I know I'm complete; Since grace upon grace I so freely receive, I'll praise him, I'll praise him as long as I live. 19 I now live dependent on Jesus my head, And out of his fullness I daily am fed, His faithfulness binds me on him to believe; And give him the glory of all I receive. 20 And now you have heard the contents of my song, Can such a dependence on Jesus be wrong? If scripture does plainly affirm it is right, Lord grant you, may instantly come to the light. 21 At once be persuaded to give up your strife, And come as you are, to the author of life, Leap into the fountain of infinite love, And shout like the glorified spirits above.
