Come, ye that love the Lord

Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,789 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, ye that love the Lord, And let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, While ye surround His throne. Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God; But servants of the heavenly King May speak their joys abroad. 2 The God that rules on high, That all the earth surveys, That rides upon the stormy sky, And calms the roaring seas: This awful God is ours, Our Father and our Love: He will send down His heavenly powers To carry us above. 3 There we shall see His face, And never, never sin: There, from the rivers of His grace, Drink endless pleasures in. The men of grace have found Glory begun below: Celestial fruit on earthly ground From faith and hope may grow. 4 The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacred sweets, Before we reach the heavenly fields, Or walk the golden streets. Then let our songs abound, And every tear be dry; We're marching through Emmanuel's ground To fairer worlds on high.

How happy is the man who hears

Author: Michael Bruce Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 301 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O happy is the man who hears Instruction’s warning voice, And who celestial wisdom makes His early, only choice! 2 For she has treasures greater far Than east or west unfold; And her rewards more precious are Than all their stores of gold. 3 She guides the young with innocence In pleasure’s paths to tread; A crown of glory she bestows Upon the hoary head. 4 According as her labors rise, So her rewards increase; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.

What cheering words are these!

Author: John Kent Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 145 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What cheering words are these! Their sweetness who can tell? In time and to eternal days, "’Tis with the righteous well." 2 In every state secure, Kept by Jehovah’s eye, ’Tis well with them while life endure, And well when called to die. 3 ’Tis well when joys arise; ’Tis well when sorrows flow; ’Tis well when darkness veils the skies, And strong temptations blow. 4 ’Tis well when on the mount They feast on dying Love: And ’tis as well in God’s account, When they the furnace prove. 5 'Tis well when Jesus calls, "From earth and sin arise, Join with the hosts of ransomed souls, Made to salvation wise."

How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend, In hope of one that ne'er shall end! Topics: Worship The Lord's Day; Easter Sunday Used With Tune: ST. GREGORY

When I can read my title clear

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,229 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes. 2 Should earth against my soul engage, And hellish darts be hurled; Then I can smile at Satan's rage, And face a frowning world. 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, And storms of sorrow fall, May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heaven, my all! 4 There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heavenly rest; And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast.

Jehovah, great I AM, By earth and heaven confest; I bow and bless the sacred Name For ever blest. 2 The God of Abram praise, At whose supreme command From earth I rise, and seek the joys At His right hand: I all on earth forsake, Its wisdom, fame, and power, And Him my only Portion make, My Shield and Tower. 3 The God of Abram praise, Whose all-sufficient grace Shall guide me, all my happy days, In all His ways: He calls a worm His friend; He calls Himself my God; And He shall save me to the end Through Jesus' Blood. 4 He by Himself hath sworn; I on His oath depend; I shall, on eagles' wings upborne, To heaven ascend: I shall behold His face, I shall His power adore, And sing the wonders of His grace For evermore.

So let our lips and lives express

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 491 hymnals Lyrics: 1 So let our lips and lives express The holy Gospel we profess: So let our works and virtues shine, To prove the doctrine all divine. 2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad The honors of our Saviour God; When His salvation reigns within, And grace subdues the power of sin. 3 Our flesh and sense must be denied, Passion and envy, lust and pride; While justice, temperance, truth and love Our inward piety approve. 4 Religion bears our spirits up, While we expect that blessed hope, The bright appearance of the Lord, And faith stands leaning on His Word.

My God! permit me not to be

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 343 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God! permit me not to be A stranger to myself and Thee: Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove, Forgetful of my highest love. 2 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth? Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Saviour, go? 3 Call me away from flesh and sense; Thy sovereign word can draw me thence: I would obey the Voice divine, And all inferior joys resign.
