High Priest

Author: Cennick Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XXXV (1793) Person Name: Cennick First Line: A good High-Priest is come Lyrics: 1 A good High Priest is come, Supplying Aaron's place; And taking up his room, Dispensing life and grace: The law by Aaron's priesthood came: But grace and truth by Jesus' name. 2 My Lord a Priest is made, As sware the mighty God, To Israel and his seed, Ordain'd to offer blood, For sinners who his mercy seek, A Priest as was Melchizedek. 3 He once temptations knew, Of every sort and kind, That he might succour shew, To every tempted mind: In every point the Lamb was try'd Like us, and then for us he dy'd. 4 He dies, but lives again, And by the altar stands; There shews how he was slain, Op'ning his pierced hands. Our Priest abides and pleads the cause Of us who have transgress'd his laws. 5 I other Priests disclaim, And laws and offerings too; None but the bleeding Lamb The mighty work can do: He shall have all the praise, for he Hath lov'd, and liv'd, and dy'd for me.

Lord's Day Evening

Author: Cennick Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CLXII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Cennick First Line: When, O dear Jesus, when shall I Lyrics: 1 When, O dear Jesus, when shall I Behold thee all serene? Blest in perpetual Sabbath-day, Without a veil between. 2 Assist me while I wander here, Amidst a world of cares; Incline my heart to pray with love, And then accept my prayers. 3 Release my soul from every chain, No more hell's captive led; And pardon a repenting child, For whom the Saviour bled. 4 Spare me, my God, O spare the soul That gives it self to thee; Take all that I possess below, And give thyself to me. 5 Thy spirit, O my Father, give, To be my guide and friend, To light my way to ceaseless joys, To Sabbaths without end.

Walking with GOD

Author: Cowper Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LXXXVI (1793) Person Name: Cowper First Line: O for a closer walk with God Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame; A light, to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew, When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus, and his word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoy'd! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void, The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made thee mourn, And drove thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from thy throne, And worship only thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

The contrite Heart

Author: Cowper Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LXIX (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Cowper First Line: The Lord will happiness divine Lyrics: 1 The Lord will happiness divine On contrite hearts bestow: Then tell me, gracious God, is mine A contrite heart or no? 2 I hear, but seem to hear in vain, Insensible as steel; If aught is felt, 'tis only pain To find I cannot feel. 3 I sometimes think myself inclin'd To love thee, if I could; But often feel another mind, Averse to all that's good. 4 My best desires are faint and few, I fain would strive for more; But when I cry, "My strength renew," Seem weaker than before. 5 Thy saints are comforted I know, And love thy house of prayer; I sometimes go where others go, But find no comfort there. 6 O make this heart rejoice or ache; Decide this doubt for me; And if it be not broken, break, And heal it, if it be.

Praise for the Fountain opened

Author: Cowper Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XCVI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Cowper First Line: There is a fountain filled with blood Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood, Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plung'd beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoic'd to see That fountain in his day; O may I there, tho' vile as he, Wash all my sins away! 3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransom'd Church of God Be sav'd,to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream, Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 But when this lisping stammering tongue, Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing thy power to save.

Return to Joy

Author: Cowper Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXIV (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Cowper First Line: When darkness long has veil'd my mind Lyrics: 1 When darkness long has veil'd my mind, And smiling day once more appears; Then, my Redeemer, then I find The folly of my doubts and fears. 2 I chide my unbelieving heart; And blush that I should ever be Thus prone to act so base a part, Or harbour one hard thought of thee! 3 O! let me then at length be taught (What I am still so slow to learn;) That God is love, and changes not, Nor knows the shadow of a turn. 4 Sweet truth, and easy to repeat! But when my faith is sharply try'd, I find myself a learner yet, Unskilful, weak, and apt to slide. 5 But, O my Lord, one look from thee Subdues the disobedient will; Drives doubt and discontent away, And thy rebellious worm is still. 6 Thou art as ready to forgive As I am ready to repine; Thou, therefore, all the praise receive; Be shame, and self-abhorrence, mine.

Influences of the Spirit desired

Author: Davies Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XLIII (1793) Person Name: Davies First Line: Eternal Spirit, Source of light Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit, source of light, Enlivening, consecrating fire, Descend and with celestial heat Our dull, our frozen hearts inspire: Our souls refine, our dross consume! Come, condescending Spirit, come! 2 In our cold breasts, O strike a spark Of the pure flame, which seraphs feel, Nor let us wander in the dark, Or lie benumb'd and stupid still: Come, vivifying Spirit, come, And make our hearts thy constant home! 3 Whatever guilt and madness dare, We would not quench the heavenly fire; Our hearts as fuel we prepare, Though in the flame we should expire: Our breasts expand to make thee room: Come, purifying Spirit, come! 4 Let pure devotion's fervors rise! Let every pious passion glow! O let the raptures of the skies Kindle in our cold hearts below! Come, condescending Spirit, come, And make our souls thy constant home!

Self-Examination

Author: Davies Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CIX (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Davies First Line: What strange perplexities arise Lyrics: 1 What strange perplexities arise? What anxious fears and jealousies? What crowds in doubtful light appear? How few, alas, approv'd and clear! 2 And what am I?—My soul, awake, And an impartial survey take; Does no dark sign, no ground of fear, In practice or in heart appear? 3 What image does my spirit bear? Is Jesus form'd, and living there? Say, do his lineaments divine In thought, and word, and action shine! 4 Searcher of hearts, O search me still; The secrets of my soul reveal; My fears remove; let me appear To God and my own conscience clear. 5 Scatter the clouds, that o'er my head Thick glooms of dubious terrors spread; Lead me into celestial day, And, to myself, myself display. 6 May I at that bless'd world arrive, Where Christ thro' all my soul shall live, And give full proof that he is there, Without one gloomy doubt or fear.
