Father of mercies, God of love

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #LXXXVIII (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation Trust in God through all the Changes of Life Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, God of love, My father and my God, I'll sing the honours of thy name, And spread thy praise abroad. 2 My soul, in pleasing wonder lost, Thy various love surveys; Where shall my grateful lips begin, Or where conclude thy praise? 3 In every period of my life, Thy thoughts of love appear; Thy mercies gild the transient scene, And crown each passing year. 4 In all these mercies may my soul A father's bounty see; Nor let the gifts thy grace bestows Estrange my heart from thee. 5 Teach me, in time of deep distress, To own thy hand, my God; And in submissive silence hear The lessons of thy rod. 6 In every varying mortal state, Each bright, each gloomy scene, Give me a meek and humble mind, Still equal and serene. 7 Then will I close my eyes in death Without one anxious fear; For death itself is life, O God, If thou art with me there.

Lord, how mysterious are thy ways!

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XCV (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation Submission to the all-wise Decrees Lyrics: 1 Lord, how mysterious are thy ways! How blind are we! how mean our praise! Thy steps can mortal eyes explore? 'Tis ours to wonder and adore! 2 Thy deep decrees from creature sight Are hid in shades of awful night; Amid the lines, with curious eye, Nor angels minds presume to pry. 3 Great God! I would not ask to see What in futurity shall be: If light and bliss attend my days, Then let my future hours be praise. 4 Is darkness and distress my share, Then let me trust thy guardian care; Enough for me, if love divine At length through every cloud shall shine. 5 Yet this my soul desires to know, Be this my only wish below, "That I am thine!" — This great request Grant, bounteous God, — and I am blest!

Lord, we adore thy wondrous name

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XC (1789) Topics: Confidence and Resignation God the Support of frail Man Lyrics: 1 Lord, we adore thy wond'rous name, And make that name our trust, Which rais'd at first this curious frame, From mean and lifeless dust. 2 A while these frail machines endure, The fabrick of a day; Then know their vital pow'rs no more, But moulder back to clay. 3 Yet, Lord! whate'er is felt or fear'd, This thought is our repose — That he, by whom this frame is rear'd, Its various weakness knows. 4 Thou view'st us with a pitying eye, Whilar struggling with our load; In pains and dangers thou art nigh, Our Father, and our God. 5 Gently supported by thy love, We tend to realms of peace; Where ev'ry pain shall far remove, And ev'ry frailty cease.

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXXVIII (1791) Topics: Resignation to Providence Lyrics: 1 O tell me no more Of this World's vain Store; The Time for such Trifles with me now is o'er. 2 A Country I've found Where true Joys abound; To dwell I'm determin'd on that happy Ground. 3 The Souls that believe, In Paradise live; And me in that Number will Jesus receive. 4 My Soul don't Delay, He calls the away; Rise, follow thy Sav'our, and bless the glad Day. 5 No Mortal doth know What he can bestow; What Life, Strength, and Comfort, go after him go. 6 Lo, onward I move, And but Christ above, None guesses how wond'rous my journey will prove. 7 Great Spoils I shall win, From Death, Hell and Sin; 'Midst outward Afflictions, shall feel Christ within. 8 Perhaps for his Name, (Poor Dust as I am) Some Works I shall finish with glad loving Aim. 9 I still (which is best) Shall in his dear Breast (As at the Beginning) find Pardon and Rest. 10 And when I'm to die, Receive me, I'll cry, For Jesus hath lov'd me, I cannot say why. 11 But this I do find, We two are so join'd, He'll not live in Glory and leave me behind. 12 Lo this is the Race I'm running through Grace, Henceforth till admitted to see my Lord's Face. 13 And now I'm in Care, my Neighbours may share; These Blessings to seek them will none of you dare! 14 In Bondage, oh why, And Death will you lie, When One here assures you Free Grace is so nigh?
