92 To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be honor, praise, and glo- ry given, By all on earth, and all in heaven. 1. How fast their guilt and sorrows rise, Who haste to seek some idol-god; I will not taste their sacrifice, 2. My God provides a richer cup, And nobler food to live upon: By day his counsels guide me right: 93. At my right hand he stands prepared To keep my soul from all surprise, And be my everlasting guard. 1 WHY should thy face, where mercies dwell, 2. Behold! our soul with sorrow bends, 3. Rise for our help, eternal Lord! Salvation shall attend thy word: Thy mercy, Lord, alone we claim; Redeem us, and exalt thy name. 1. WHEN gathering storms around me spread, 2. Beneath thy shade my troubled mind 4, From heaven my God his aid shall send, From every enemy defend; His mercy and his truth display, 5. Be thou exalted, O my God, 95. God our Portion. [Ps. 73. v. 8. Return, O Lord, thy children cry, 1. O LORD, thy counsels and thy care 3. My flesh is hastening to decay; Soon shall the world haye passed away: 4. But oh, be thou, my Saviour, nigh, 1. LORD, thou hast called thy grace to mind, 2. Thou hast begun to set us free, And made thy fiercest wrath abate: Now let our hearts be turned to thee, And thy salvation be complete. 3. Revive our dying graces, Lord, And let thy saints in thee rejoice; Make known thy truth, fulfill thy word; We wait for praise to tune our voice. 4. We wait to hear what God will say; He'll speak, and give his people peace; But let them run no more astray, Lest his returning wrath increase. 97. Christ's Presence invoked [Hy. 7. 1. OFT in the temples of thy grace, 2. But soon, alas! thine absence moun, Our graces droop, our comforts die; 4. Till filled with light, and joy, and love, Thy courts below, like those above, Triumphant hallelujahs raise, 98. And heaven and earth resound thy praise. Honor of converting Sinners. [Hy. 563. 1. How blest are those, how truly wise, Who learn and keep the sacred road! How happy they whom heaven employs To turn rebellious hearts to God: 2. To win them from the fatal way Where erring folly thoughtless roves, And that blest righteousness display Which Jesus wrought and God approves. 3. The shining firmament shall fade, 99. And sparkling stars resign their light; But these shall know nor change nor shade, Forever fair, forever bright. 1. GoD of the morning, at thy voice To run his journey through the skies. 2. From the fair chambers of the east, The circuit of his race begins, And without weariness or rest, Round the whole earth he flies and shines. 3. O, like the sun, may I fulfill Th' appointed duties of the day, March on, and keep my heavenly way. 5. Give me thy counsel for my guide, Are faint and cold, compared with this. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Fa-ther, Son, and Holy Ghost. [Ps. 3. iii. 3. Yet there is one of human frame, In this weak state of flesh and blood! My peace they daily discompose; But my defence and hope is God. 2. Tired with the burdens of the day, To thee I raised an evening cry; Thou heard'st when I began to pray, And thine almighty help was nigh. 8. Supported by thy heavenly aid, I laid me down, and slept secure; Not death should make my heart afraid, Though I should wake and rise no more. 4. But God sustained me all the night; Salvation doth to God belong; He raised my head to see the light, And make his praise my morning song. 101. Divinity of Christ. [Hy. 102. 1. BRIGHT King of glory, dreadful God! 2. A thousand seraphs, strong and bright, [lly. 294. 105. 103. On these my fainting spirit lives; 4. Let earth's alluring joys combine; While thou art near, in vain they call; One smile, one blissful smile of thine, My dearest Lord, outweighs them all. 5. Thy name my inmost powers adore; Thou art my life, my joy, my care: Depart from thee?-'tis death-'tis moreTis endless ruin, deep despair! 6. Low at thy feet my soul would lie; Here safety dwells, and peace divine; 1. I THIRST, but not as once I did, That I should seek my pleasure there. 2. It was the sight of thy dear cross, First weaned my soul from earthly things; And taught me to esteem as dross The mirth of fools, and pomp of kings. 3. I want that grace that springs from thee, That quickens all things where it flows, And makes a wretched thorn like me Bloom as the myrtle, or the rose. 4. For sure, of all the plants that share The notice of my Father's eye, 1. DESCEND from heaven, immortal Dove; 2. Beyond, beyond this lower sky, And fruits immortal feast the soul. 3. O, for a sight, a pleasing sight Of our almighty Father's throne! 4. Adoring saints around him stand, And thrones and powers before him fall; The God shines gracious through the man, And sheds sweet glories on them all. 5. O, what amazing joys they feel, While to their golden harps they sing, And spread the triumphs of their King! 6. When shall the day, dear Lord, appear, That I shall mount, to dwell above; And stand, and bow, and worship there, And view thy face, and sing, and love? 1. God of my life, through all its days 2. When anxious cares would break my rest, 3. When death o'er nature shall prevail, a To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, a Be hon-or, praise, and glo- ry given, By all on earth, and all in heaven. 1. THIS spacious earth is all the Lord's, [Ps. 24. ii. 2. By sweet experience now I prove 2. But there's a brighter world on high, 3. He that abhors and fears to sin, Whose heart is pure, whose hands are clean, 4. These are the men, the pious race, |
