An Anthem taken from the 7th Chapter of Job

Hymnal: UACC1761 #156 (1761) First Line: Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth Lyrics: Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth, are not his days also as the days of an hireling? I'm made to possess months of vanity, and worrisome nights are appointed to me, And worrisome nights are appointed to me, And worrisome nights are appointed to me. When I lie down, when I lie down, I say, when shall I arise and the night begone? I'm full of tosing to and fro, unto the dawning of the day. When I lie down, when I lie down, I say, when shall I arise and the night begone? I'm full of tosing to and fro, unto the dawning of the day. My flesh is cloth'd with worms and clods of dust. My skin is broken and become loathsome. I loathe it. I would not live always, I would not live always, I would not live always, I would not live always. Let me alone for my days are vanity, for my days are vanity. My days are swifter than a weavers shuttle and are spent without hope. O remember that my life, my life is wind, mine eyes shall no more see good. As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more: for now shall I sleep, shall sleep in the dust and thou shalt seek me in the morning, thou shalt seek me, but I shall not be. O remember that my life, my life is wind, mine eyes shall no more see good. As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more: for now shall I sleep, shall sleep in the dust and thou shalt seek me in the morning, thou shalt seek me, but I shall not be.

Hymnal: UACC1761 #165 (1761) First Line: Let the shrill trumpets warlike voice Lyrics: Let the shrill trumpets warlike voice, make rocks and hills his praise rebound; make rocks and hills his praises rebound.

To heaven I lift my waiting eyes

Hymnal: UACC1761 #170 (1761) Lyrics: 1 To heaven I lift my waiting eyes. There all my hopes are laid, the Lord that built the earth and skyes is my perpetuahl aid. 2 Their feet shall never slide or fall, whom he designs to keep; His ear attends the softest call, His eyes can never sleep. 3 He will sustain our feeble powers, With his Almighty arm, And watch our most unguarded hours, Against invading harm. 4 Israel rejoice and rest secure, Thy keeper is the Lord; His wakefull eyes employ his pow'r, For thine eternal guard 5 Nor scorching sun, nor sickly moon, Shall have his leave to smile; He shields thy head from burning noon From blasting damps at night. 6 He guards the soul, he keeps thy breath, Where thickest dangers come; Go and return secure from death, Till God commands thee home.

Eternal Power whose high abode

Hymnal: UACC1761 #172 (1761) Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God, Infinite lengths beyond the bounds, where stars revolve their little rounds. 2 Thee while the first archangel sings, He hides his face behind his wings, And ranks of shining thrones around, Fall worshiping and spread the ground. 3 Lord what shall earth and ashes do, We would adore our maker too. From sin and dust to thee we cry, The great, the holy, and the high. 4 Earth from afar has heard thy fame, And worms have learnt to lisp thy name, but o the glories of thy mind, Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 5 God is in heaven and men below. Be short our tunes our words be few: A sacred reverence checks our songs And praise sits silent on our tongues. Languages: English Tune Title: PALMI'S

Praise ye the Lord, its good to raise

Hymnal: UACC1761 #174 (1761) Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, tis good to raise, Our hearts and voices in his praise. His nature and his works invite To make this duty our delight, To make this duty our delight. 2 He form'd the stars those heavenly flames, He counts their numbers calls their name, His wisdom's vast, and knows no bounds, A deep, where all our thoughts are drown'd, A deep, where all our thoughts are drown'd. 3 Sing to the Lord exalt him high, Who spreads his clouds around the sky. There he prepares the fruitful rain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain. 4 He makes the grass the hills adorn, And cloths the smiling fields with corn; The beasts with feed his hands supply, And the young ravens when they cry, And the young ravens when they cry. 5 What is the creatures skill or force, The sprightly man or warlike horse? The piercing wit, the active limb, All are too mean delights for him, All are too mean delights for him. Languages: English Tune Title: KETTELBYS

O God, my God, my all thou art

Hourly with lifted hands I'll pay. 3 Abundant sweetness, while I sing Thy love, my ravish'd soul o'erflows. Secure in thee, my God and king, Of glory that... Of glory that no period knows. 4 Thy name, O Lord, upon my bed, Dwells on my lips and fires my thought. With trembling awe in midnight shade, I muse on all... I muse on all thine hands have wrought. 4 In all I do I feel thine aid. Therefore thy greatness will I sing, O God, who didst my heart be glad, Beneath the shadow... Beneath the shadow of thy wing.

Lo, God is here, let us adore

Hymnal: UACC1761 #178 (1761) Lyrics: 1 Lo, God is here, let us adore; And own how dreadful is this place; Let all within us feel his pow'r, And silent bow before his face, Who knows his pow'r his grace who proves; Love him with awe, with rev'rence too. Lo God is here, him day and night Th' united quires of angels sing, To him enthroned above all height. Heavens host their noblest praises bring, Disdain not, Lord, our meaner song, Who praise the with a stamm'ring tongue. Gladly, the toys of earth we leave, Wealth, pleasure, fame for thee alone; To thee our will, soul, flesh we give. O take, O seal them for thine own. Thou art the God, thou art the Lord, Be thou by all thy works ador'd. Languages: English Tune Title: PUBLICK WORSHIP

When all thy mercies, O my God

Hymnal: UACC1761 #180 (1761) Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost, In wonder love and praise. Thy providence my life sustain'd, and all my wants redress'd. While in the silent womb, I lay, And hung upon the breast. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah. 2 To all my weak complaints and cries, Thy mercy lent an ear. E'er yet my feeble thoughts had learn'd, To form themselves in prayer. Unnumber'd comforts to my soul, Thy tender care bestow'd. Before my infant heart conceived, From when those comforts flow'd. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah. 3 When in the slippery paths of youth, With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm unseen convey'd me safe, And led me up to man. Thor' hidden dangers, toils and deaths, It gently clear'd my way, And thrp' the pleasing snares of vice, More to be fear'd than they. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah. 4 Thro' every period of my life thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death in distant worlds The pleasing theme renew. Thro' all eternity to thee, A grateful song I'll raise; But O! eternity's too short, To utter all thy praise. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah.

The spacious firmament on high

Hymnal: UACC1761 #184 (1761) Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame Their great original proclaim. Th' unearied sun from day to day Does his creators pow'r display And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand, The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale And nightly to the listning earth, Reveals the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they rowl, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all, Move round the dark terrestrial ball, What tho' nor real voice nor sound, Amid their radiant orbs be found, In reasons' ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing as they shine The hand that made us is divine.
