Profession of Love to CHRIST

Author: Stennett Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CIII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: And have I Christ no love to thee Lyrics: 1 And have I, Christ, no love to thee, No passion for thy charms? No wish my Saviour's face to see, And dwell within his arms? 2 Is there no spark of gratitude In this cold heart of mine, To him whose generous bosom glow'd With friendship all divine? 3 Can I pronounce his charming name, His acts of kindness tell; And, while I dwell upon the theme, No sweet emotion feel? 4 Such base ingratitude as this What heart but must detest! Sure Christ deserves the noblest place In every human breast. 5 A very wretch, Lord, I should prove, Had I no love to thee: Rather than not my Saviour love, O may I cease to be!

Christ our Example

Author: Steele Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XVI (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: And is the gospel peace and love Lyrics: 1 And is the gospel, peace and love? Such let our conversation be: The serpent blended with the dove, Wisdom and meek simplicity. 2 Whene'er the angry passions rise, And tempt our thoughts or tongues to strife, To Jesus let us lift our eyes, Bright pattern of the Christian life! 3 O how benevolent and kind! How mild! how ready to forgive! Be this the temper of our mind, And these the rules by which we live. 4 To do his heavenly Father's will, Was his employment and delight; Humility and holy zeal Shone thro' his life, divinely bright! 5 Dispensing good where'er he came, The labours of his life were love; O, if we love the Savior's name, Let his divine example move. 6 Thy fair example may we trace, To teach us what we ought to be; Make us by thy transforming grace, Dear Saviour, daily more like thee.

It is but right, since thou hast done Much more than this for me. 2 Yes, let it go—one look from thee Will more than make amends, For all the losses I sustain Of credit, riches, friends. 3 Ten thousand worlds, then thousand lives, How worthless they appear, Compar'd with thee, supremely good, Divinely bright and fair! 4 Saviour of souls, could I from thee A single smile obtain, Tho' destitute of all things else, I'd glory in my gain.

And draw from heaven that sweet repose Which none, but he that feels it knows! 4 This heavenly calm, within the breast, Is the dear pledge of glorious rest, Which for the church of God remains, The end of cares, the end of pains. 5 With joy, great God, thy works we view, In various scenes both old and new; With praise, we think on mercies past, With hope, we future pleasures taste. 6 In holy duties let the day, In holy pleasures pass away: How sweet, a Sabbath thus to spend, In hope of one that ne'er shall end!

Lord's Day Morning

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CLVIII (1793) First Line: Awake our drowsy souls Lyrics: 1 Awake, our drowsy souls, Shake off each slothful band, The wonders of this day Our noblest songs demand: Auspicious morn! thy blissful rays, Bright seraphs hail in song of praise. 2 At thy approaching dawn, Reluctant death resign'd The glorious prince of life, In dark domains confin'd: Th' angelic host around him bends, And, 'midst their shouts, the God ascends. 3 All hail, triumphant Lord, Heaven with hosannas rings; While earth, in humbler strains, Thy praise responsive sings: Worthy art thou, who once was slain, Through endless years to live and reign. 4 Gird on, great God, thy sword, Ascend thy conquering carr, While justice, truth and love Maintain the glorious war: Victorious thou, thy foes shalt tread, And sin and hell in triumph lead. 5 Make bare thy potent arm, And wing th' unerring dart, With salutary pangs, To each rebellious heart: Then dying souls for life shall sue, Numerous as drops of morning dew.
