Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #22 (1917) Topics: The Godhead Adoration and Praise Lyrics: 1. Come, ye that love the Lord, And let your joys be known, Join in a song with sweet accord, While ye surround His throne, Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God; But servants of the heavenly King May speak their joys abroad. 2. The God that rules on high, That all the earth surveys, That rides upon the stormy sky, And calms the roaring seas; This awful God is ours, Our Father and our Love; He will send down His heavenly powers To carry us above. 3. There we shall see His face, And never, never sin; There, from the rivers of His grace, Drink endless pleasures in; Yea, and before we rise To that immortal state, The thoughts of such amazing bliss Should constant joys create. 4. The men of grace have found Glory begun below; Celestial fruit on earthly ground From faith and hope may grow. Then let our songs abound, And every tear be dry; We're marching through Immanuel's ground, To fairer worlds on high. Languages: English Tune Title: ASCENSION

There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in His blood. 4. For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 5. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed, There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 6. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word, And our lives would be all sunshine In the favour of our Lord. In many editions the hymn begins with the following stanzas: Was there ever kindest shepherd Half so gentle, half so sweet, As the Saviour who would have us Come and gather round His feet? Souls of men, why will ye scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will ye wander From a love so true and deep? Languages: English Tune Title: NEWTON FERNS

In old times when dangers darkened, When, invoked by priest and seer, To His people's cry He hearkened, Answered them in all their fear; He is holy, As they called, they found Him near. 4. Laws divine to them were spoken From the pillar of the cloud; Sacred precepts, quickly broken: Fiercely then His vengeance flowed. He is holy, To the dust their hearts were bowed. 5. But their Father God forgave them, When they sought His face once more, Ever ready was to save them, Tenderly did He restore; He is holy, We, too, will His grace implore. 6. God in Christ is all-forgiving, Waits His promise to fulfil, Come, exalt Him, all the living. Come, ascend His holy hill; He is holy, Worship at His holy hill Languages: English Tune Title: ST.

We come unto our fathers' God

We come unto our fathers' God: Their Rock is our Salvation: The eternal arms, their dear abode, We make our habitation: We bring Thee, Lord, the praise they brought, We seek Thee as Thy saints have In every generation. 2. The fire divine, their steps that led, Still goeth bright before us; The heavenly shield, around them spread, Is still high holden o'er us; The grace those sinners that subdued, The strength those weaklings that renewed, Doth vanquish, doth restore us. 3. The cleaving sins that brought them low Are still our souls oppressing; The tears that from their eyes did flow Fall fast, our shame confessing; As with Thee, Lord, prevailed their cry, So our strong prayer ascends on high, And bringeth down Thy blessing. 4. Their joy unto their Lord we bring; Their song to us descendeth; The Spirit who in them did sing To us His music lendeth. His song in them, in us, is one; We raise it high, we send it on The song that never endeth! 5. Ye saints of God, take up the strain The same sweet theme endeavour! Unbroken be the golden chain! Ring out the song for ever! Safe in the same dear dwelling-place, Rich with the same eternal grace, Bless the same boundless Giver! Languages: English Tune Title: LAUS SEMPITERNA

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #52 (1917) Topics: The Godhead The Father Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare Thy glory, Lord, In every star Thy wisdom shines; But, when our eyes behold Thy word, We read Thy name in fairer lines. 2 The rolling sun, the changing light, And night and day Thy power confess; But the blest volume Thou hast writ Reveals Thy justice and Thy grace. 3 Sun, moon, and stars convey Thy praise Round the whole earth, and never stand; So when Thy truth began its race, It touched and glanced on every land. 4 Nor shall Thy spreading gospel rest Till through the world Thy truth has run; Till Christ has all the nations blest, That see the light or feel the sun. 5 Great Sun of Righteousness, arise, Bless the dark world with heavenly light; Thy gospel makes the simple wise; Thy laws are pure, Thy judgments right.
