At Parting

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #DXV (1792) First Line: For a season called to part Lyrics: 1 For a season call'd to part, Let us now ourselves commend To the gracious eye and heart Of our ever-present friend. 2 Jesus, hear our humble prayer! Tender shepherd of thy sheep! Let thy mercy and thy care All our souls in safety keep. 3 In thy strength may we be strong, Sweeten every cross and pain: Give us, if we live, ere long In thy peace to meet again. 4 Then if thou thy help afford, Ebenezers shall be rear'd; And our souls shall praise the Lord, Who our poor petitions heard.

Forgiveness! 'tis a joyful sound

Author: Dr. Gibbons Hymnal: SHBA1792 #LXXXVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Forgiveness! 'tis a joyful sound To malefactors doom'd to die; Publish the bliss the world around; Ye seraphs, shout it from the sky! 2 'Tis the rich gift of love divine; 'Tis, full, out-measuring every crime; Unclouded shall its glories shine, And fee no change, by changing time. 3 O'er sins unnumber'd as the sand, And like the mountains for their size, The seas of sovereign grace expand, The seas of sovereign grace arise. 4 For this stupendous love of heaven What grateful honors shall we show? Where much transgression is forgiven Let love in equal ardors glow. 5 By this inspir'd, let all our days With various holiness be crown'd, Let truth and goodness, prayer and praise In all abide, in all abound.

A Hymn for the Evening of the Lord's day

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCCL (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Frequent the day of God returns Lyrics: 1 Frequent the day of God returns To shed its quickening beams; And yet how slow devotion burns! How languid are its flames! 2 Accept our faint attempts to love, Our frailties, Lord forgive; We would be like thy saints above, And praise thee while we live. 3 Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope, And fit us to ascend, Where the assembly ne'er breaks up, The sabbath ne'er shall end. 4 Where we shall breathe in heavenly air, With heavenly lusture shine; Before the throne of God appear, And feast on love divine; 5 Where we, in high seraphic strains, Shall all our powers employ; Delighted range the etherial plains, And take our fill of joy.

Faith reviving

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCXXI (1792) First Line: From whence this fear and unbelief Lyrics: 1 From whence this fear and unbelief? Hast thou, O father, put to grief Thy spotless son for me? And will the righteous judge of men, Condemn me for that debt of sin, Which Lord, was charg'd on thee? 2 Complete atonement thou hast made, And to the utmost farthing paid Whate'er thy people ow'd; How then can wrath on me take place, If shelter'd in thy righteousness And sprinkled with thy blood? 3 [If thou hast my discharge procur'd, And freely in my room endur'd The whole of wrath divine; Payment, God cannot twice demand— First, at my bleeding surety's hand, And then again at mine.] 4 Turn then, my soul, unto thy rest; The merits of thy great high-priest Speak peace and liberty: Trust in his efficacious blood; Nor fear thy banishment from God, Since Jesus dy'd for thee.

Glorious Things spoken of Zion the City of God

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CDXVIII (1792) First Line: Glorious things of thee are spoken Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God! He, whose word cannot be broken, Form'd thee for his own abode: On the rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 [See the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove: Who can faint while such a river Ever flows thy thirst t' assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear! For a glory and a covering, Shewing that the Lord is near: Thus deriving from their banner, Light by night and shade by day; Safe they feed upon the manna Which he gives them when they pray.] 4 Blest inhabitants of Zion, Wash'd in the Redeemer's blood! Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priest to God: 'Tis his love his people raises Over self to reign as kings, And as priests, his solemn praises Each for a thank-offering bring. 5 Savior, if of Zion's city I thro' grace a member am; Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name: Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show! Solid joys and lasting treasure, None but Zion's children know.

That man, condemn'd to die, might live, And God be glorious to forgive? 3 Messiah's come—with joy behold The days by prophets long foretold: Judah, thy royal sceptre's broke, And time still prove's what Jacob spoke. 4 Daniel, thy weeks are all expir'd, The time prophetic Seals requir'd; Cut off for sins, but not his own, Thy prince Messiah did atone. 5 Thy famous temple, Solomon, Is by the latter far out-shine: It wanted not they glittering store, Messiah's presence grac'd it more. 6 We see the prophecies fulfil'd In Jesus, that most wondrous child: His birth, his life, his death combine To prove his character divine. 7 Jesus, thy gospel firmly stands A blessing to these favour'd lands: No infidel shall be our dread, Since thou art risen from the dead.

The Majesty of God

Let all heaven his praises sing, Let all worlds his power proclaim. 2 Through eternity he reigns In unbounded realms of light; He the universe sustains, As an atom in his sight. 3 Suns on suns through boundless space, With their systems move or stand; Or, to occupy their place, New orbs rise at his command. 4 Kingdoms flourish, empires fall, Nations live, and nations die, All forms nothing, nothing all— At the movement of his eye. 5 O let my transported soul Ever on his glories gaze, Ever yield to his control Ever sound his lofty praise!

And with sweet sleep my eye-lids close; Sleep that shall me more vigorous make, To serve my God, when I awake. 5 If in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heavenly thoughts supply, Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, No powers of darkness me molest. 6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heav'nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
