How beauteous are their feet

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCIII (1790) Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet, Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And word's of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King, "He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this happy sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes, That see this heav'nly light; Prophets and kings desir'd it long, But dy'd without the sight! 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy.

Christ's Dying Love

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CLXXVIII (1790) First Line: How condescending and how kind Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind Was God's eternal son! Our mis'ry reach'd his heav'nly mind, And pity brought him down. 2 This was compassion like a God, That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne'er withdrew. 3 Now tho' he reigns exalted high, His love is still as great: Well he remembers calvary, Nor should his saints forget. 4 Here let our hearts begin to melt, While we his death record, And with our joy for pardon'd guilt, Mourn that we pierc'd the Lord.

The Christian happy

How pleased and blest was I

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CXCVI (1790) Lyrics: 1 How pleas'd and blest was I, To hear the people cry, "Come, let us seek our God to day!"

Misimprovement of Time

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CXXXIII (1790) First Line: How short and hasty is our life Lyrics: 1 How short and hasty is our life! How vast our soul's affairs! Yet senseless mortals vainly strive, To lavish out their years. 2 Our days run thoughtlessly along, Without a moment's stay; Just like a story or a song, We pass our lives away. 3 God from on high invites us home, But we march heedless on, And ever hast'ning to the tomb, Stoop downwards as we run. 4 How we deserve the deepest hell, That slight the joys above! What chains of vengeance should we feel, That break such cords of love. 5 Draw us, O God, with sov'reign grace, And lift our thoughts on high, That we may end this mortal race, And see salvation nigh.

Longing after Christ

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCCXXV (1790) First Line: I long to behold him array'd Lyrics: 1 I long to behold him array'd With glory and light from above; The King in his beauty display'd, His beauty of holiest love; I languish and sigh to be there, Where Jesus hath fix'd his abode, O when shall we meet in the air, And fly to the mountain of God. 2 With him I on Zion shall stand, (For Jesus hath spoken the word) The breadth of Immanuel's land Survey by the light of my LORD: But when on thy bosom reclin'd, Thy face I am strengthened to see My fulness of rapture I find, My Heaven of Heaven's in thee! 3 How happy the people that dwell Secure in the city above! No pain the inhabitants feel, No sickness or sorrow shall prove: Physician of souls unto me Forgiveness and holiness give, And then from the body set free, And then to the city receive.

Christ precious

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #LVIII (1790) First Line: I love thy charming name Lyrics: 1 I love thy charming name, 'Tis music to my ear; Fain would I sound it out so loud That earth and heav'n might hear. 2 Yes thou art precious to my soul, My transport and my trust, Jewels to thee are gaudy toys, And gold is sordid dust. 3 All my capacious pow'rs can wish In thee most richly meet; Not to my eyes is light so dear, Nor friendship half so sweet. 4 O may thy grace still cheer my heart, And shed its fragrance there! The noblest balm of all its wounds, The cordial of its care. 5 I'll speak the honours of thy name, With my last lab'ring breath; And speechless clasp thee in mine arms, My joy in life and death!
