Eccles. 7:2-6: While others crowd the house of mirth

Hymnal: SPAP1800 #R14 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: While others crowd the house of mirth Lyrics: While others crowd the house of mirth, and haunt the gaudy show, Let such as would with Wisdom dwell, frequent the house of woe. Better to weep with those who weep, and share th’ afflicted’s smart, Than mix with fools in giddy joys that cheat and wound the heart. When virtuous sorrow clouds the face, and tears bedim the eye, The soul is led to solemn thought, and wafted to the Sky. The wise in heart revisit oft grief’s dark sequestered cell; The thoughtless still with levity and mirth delight to dwell. The noisy laughter of the fool is like the crackling sound Of blazing thorns, which quickly fall in ashes to The ground. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 7:2-6 Languages: English

Eccles. 9:4,5,6,10: As long as life its term extends

Hymnal: SPAP1800 #R15 (1800) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: As long as life its term extends Lyrics: As long as life its term extends, Hope’s blest dominion never ends; For while the lamp holds on to burn, The greatest sinner may return. Life is the season God both giv’n To fly from hell, and rise to heav’n; That day of grace fleets fast away, And none its rapid course can stay. The living know that they must die; But all the dead forgotten lie: Their mem’ry and their name is gone, Alike unknowing and unknown. Their hatred and their love is lost, Their envy buried in the dust; They have no share in all that’s done Beneath the circuit of the sun. Then what thy thoughts design to do, Still let thy bands with might pursue; Since no device nor work is found, Nor wisdom underneath the ground. In the cold grave, to which we haste, There are no acts of pardon past: But fixed the doom of all remains, And everlasting silence reigns. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:4-6 Languages: English

Hymnal: SPAP1800 #R16 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: In life's gay morn, when sprightly youth Lyrics: In life’s gay morn, when sprightly youth with vital ardour glows, And shines in all the fairest charms which beauty can disclose; Deep on thy soul, before its pow’rs are yet by vice enslaved, Be thy Creator’s glorious name and character engraved. For soon the shades of grief shall cloud the sunshine of thy days; And cares, and toils, in endless round, encompass all thy ways. Soon shall thy heart the woes of age in mournful groans deplore, And sadly muse on former joys, that now return no more. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 12:1 Languages: English

Isaiah 1:10-19: Rulers of Sodom! hear the voice

Hymnal: SPAP1800 #R17 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Rulers of Sodom! hear the voice Lyrics: Rulers of Sodom! hear the voice of heav’n’s eternal Lord; Men of Gomorrah! bend your ear submissive to his word. ’Tis thus he speaks; To what intent are your oblations vain? Why load my altars with your gifts, polluted and profane? Burnt-off’rings long may blaze to heav’n, and incense cloud the skies; The worship and the worshipper are hateful in my eyes. Your rites, your fasts, your pray’rs, I scorn, and pomp of solemn days: I know your hearts are full of guile, and Crooked are your ways. But cleanse your hands, ye guilty race, and cease from deeds of sin; Learn in your actions to be just, and pure in heart within. Mock not my name with honours vain, but keep my holy laws; Do justice to the friendless poor, and plead the widow’s cause. Then though your guilty souls are stained with sins of crimson dye, Yet, through my grace with snow itself in whiteness they shall vie. Scripture: Isaiah 1:10-19 Languages: English

The beam that shines from Sion hill shall lighten ev’ry land; The King who reigns in Salem’s tow’rs shall all the world command. Among the nations he shall judge; his judgments truth shall guide; His sceptre shall protect the just, and quell the sinner’s pride. No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds disturb those peaceful years; To ploughshares men shall beat their swords, to pruning-hooks their spears. 130 No longer hosts encount’ring hosts shall crowds of slain deplore: They hang the trumpet in the hall, and study war no more. Come then, O house of Jacob! come to worship at his Shrine; And, walking in the light of God, with holy beauties shine, Scripture: Isaiah 2:2-6 Languages: English

To us a Child of hope is barn; to us a Son is giv’n; Him shall the tribes of earth obey, him all the hosts of heav’n.

Trust in the Lord, for ever trust, and banish all your fears; Strength In the Lord JEHOVAH dwells eternal as his years. What though the wicked dwell on high, his arm shall bring them low; Low as the caverns of the grave their lofty heads shall bow. Along the dust shall then be spread their tow’rs, that brave the skies: On them the needy’s feet shall tread, and on their ruins rise. Scripture: Isaiah 26:1-7 Languages: English

And can an all-creating arm grow weary or decay? Supreme in wisdom as in pow’r the Rock of ages stands; Though him thou canst not see, nor trace the working of his hands. He gives the conquest to the weak, supports the fainting heart; And courage in the evil hour his heav’nly aids impart. Mere human pow’r shall fast decay, and youthful vigour cease; But they who wait upon the Lord, in strength shall still increase. They with unwearied feet shall tread the path of life divine; With growing ardent onward move, with growing brightness shine. On eagles’ wings they mount, they soar, their wings are faith and love, Till, past the cloudy regions here, they rise to heav’n above. Scripture: Isaiah 40:27-31 Languages: English

Him have I chosen, and in him I place supreme delight. On him, in rich effusion poured, my Spirit shall descend; My truths and judgments he shall show to earth’s remotest end. Gentle and still shall be his voice, no threats from him proceed; The smoking flax he shall not quench, nor break the bruised reed. The feeble spark to flames he’ll raise; the weak will not despise; Judgment he shall bring forth to truth, and make the fallen rise. The progress of his zeal and pow’r shall never know decline, Till foreign lands and distant isles receive the law divine. He who erected heav’ns bright arch, and bade the planets roll, Who peopled all the climes of earth, and formed the human soul, Thus saith the Lord, Thee have I raised, my Prophet thee install; In right I’ve raised thee, and in strength I’ll succour whom I call. 132 I will establish with the lands a covenant in thee, To give the Gentile nations light, and set the pris’ners free: Asunder burst the gates of brass; the iron fetters fall; And gladsome light and liberty are straight restored to all. I am the Lord, and by the name of great JEHOVAH known; No idol shall usurp my praise, nor mount into my throne. Lo! former scenes, predicted once conspicuous rise to view; And future scenes, predicted now, shall be accomplished too. Sing to the Lord in joyful strains! let earth his praise resound, Ye who upon the ocean dwell, and fill the isles around! O city of the Lord! begin the universal song; And let the scattered villages the cheerful notes prolong. Let Kedar’s wilderness afar lift up its lonely voice; And let the tenants of the rock with accents rude rejoice; Till ‘midst the streams of distant lands the islands sound his praise; And all combined, with one accord, JEHOVAH’s glories raise.
