Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #50b (1790) Topics: Church delight and safety in it; Church delight and safety in it First Line: Soon as I heard my Father say Lyrics: 1 Soon as I heard my Father say, "Ye children, seek my grace," My heart reply'd without delay, "I'll seek my Father's face." 2 Let not thy face be hid from me, Nor frown my soul away; God of my life, I fly to thee In a distressing day. 3 Should friends and kindred near and dear Leave me to want or die, My God would make my life his care, And all my need supply. 4 My fainting flesh had died with grief, Had not my soul believ'd, To see thy grace provide relief, Nor was my hope deceiv'd. 5 Wait on the Lord, ye trembling saints, And keep your courage up; He'll raise your spirit when it faints, And far exceed your hope.

The Pleasure of public Worship

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #144 (1786) Topics: Delight and safety in the church; Delight and safety in the church First Line: How pleasant, how divinely fair Lyrics: 1 How pleasant, how divinely fair, O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are! With long desire my spirit faints To meet th' assemblies of thy saints. 2 My flesh would rest in thine abode, My panting heart cries out for God; My God! my King! why should I be So far from all my joys and thee. 3 The sparrow chuses where to rest, And for her young provides a nest; But will my God to sparrows grant That pleasure which his children want? 4 Blest are the saints who sit on high, Around thy throne above the sky; Thy brightest glories shine above, And all their work is praise and love. 5 Blest are the souls who find a place Within the temple of thy grace; There they behold thy gentler rays, And seek thy face and learn thy praise. 6 Blest are the men whose hearts are set To find the way to Zion's gate; God is their strength, and through the road They lean upon their helper God. 7 Cheerful they walk with growing strength, Till all shall meet in heaven at length, Till all before thy face appear, And join in nobler worship there. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English
