Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 355 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone! Let my religious hours alone: Fain would mine eyes my Saviour see; I wait a visit, Lord, from thee. 2 My heart grows warm with holy fire, And kindles with a pure desire; Come, my dear Jesus! from above, And feed my soul with heavenly love. 3 Blest Saviour, what delicious fare! How sweet thine entertainments are? Never did angels taste, above, Redeeming grace and dying love. Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Used With Tune: MALVERN

Shall man, O God of light and life

Author: Timothy Dwight Appears in 114 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shall man, O God of light and life, Forever molder in the grave? Canst thou forget thy glorious work. Thy promise, and thy power to save? 2 In those dark realms of night and gloom Shall peace and hope no more arise? No future morning light the tomb, Nor day-star gild the darksome skies? 3 Cease, cease, ye vain, desponding fears! When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprang, Death, the last foe, was captive led, And heaven with praise and wonder rang. 4 Faith sees the bright eternal doors Unfold to make his children way; They shall be clothed with endless life, And shine in everlasting day.

Author: Thomas Scott Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 551 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hasten, O sinner, to be wise, And stay not for the morrow’s sun; The longer wisdom you despise, The harder is she to be won. 2 O hasten mercy to implore, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy season should be o’er Before this evening’s course be run. 3 Hasten, O sinner, to return, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy lamp should fail to burn Before the needful work is done. 4 Hasten, O sinner, to be blest, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear the curse should thee arrest Before the morrow is begun. Amen. Topics: Invitation Used With Tune: MALVERN

As the sweet flower which scents the morn

Author: John W. Cunningham Appears in 68 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As the sweet flower that scents the morn, But withers in the rising day, Thus lovely was this infant's dawn, Thus swiftly fled its life away. 2 It died ere its expanding soul Had ever burned with wrong desires, Had ever spurned high Heaven's control, Or ever quenched its sacred fires. 3 It died to sin, it died to cares, But for a moment felt the rod: O mourner, such the Lord declares, Such are the children of our God.

Command thy blessing from above

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Command thy blessing from above, O God, on all assembled here; Behold us with a Father's love, While we look up with filial fear. 2 Command thy blessing, Jesus, Lord! May we thy true disciples be; Speak to each heart the mighty word, Say to the weakest, "Follow me." 3 Command thy blessing in this hour, Spirit of truth! and fill the place With wounding and with healing power, With quickening and confirming grace.
