Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Whom one all-perfect God we own, Restorer of Thine image lost, Thy various offices make known; Display, our fallen souls to raise, Thy whole economy of grace. 2. Jehovah in Three Persons, come, And draw, and sprinkle us, and seal Poor, guilty, dying worms, in whom Thou dost eternal life reveal; The knowledge of Thyself bestow, And all Thy glorious goodness show. 3. Soon as our pardoned hearts believe That Thou art pure, essential love, The proof we in ourselves receive Of the three witnesses above; Sure, as the saints around Thy throne, That Father, Word, and Spirit, are One. 4. O that we now, in love renewed, Might blameless in Thy sight appear: Wake we in Thy similitude, Stamped with the Triune character; Flesh, spirit, soul, to Thee resign, And live and die entirely Thine!

My Soul, Inspired with Sacred Love

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. My soul, inspired with sacred love, The Lord thy God delight to praise; His gifts I will for Him improve, To Him devote my happy days; To Him my thanks and praises give, And only for His glory live. 2. Long as my God shall lend me breath, My every pulse shall beat for Him; And when my voice is lost in death, My spirit shall resume the theme. The gracious theme, for ever new, Through all eternity pursue. 3. Soon as the breath of man expires, Again he to his earth shall turn; Where then are all his vain desires, His love and hate, esteem and scorn? All, all at that last gasp are o’er, He falls to rise on earth no more. 4. He, then, is blest, and only he, Whose hope is in the Lord his God, Who can to Him for succor flee, That spread the earth and Heaven abroad; That still the universe sustains, And Lord of His creation reigns. 5. True to His everlasting Word, He loves the injured to redress: Poor helpless souls the bounteous Lord Relieves, and fills with plenteousness: He sets the mournful prisoners free, He bids the blind their Savior see. 6. The Lord thy God, O Sion, reigns, Supreme in mercy as in power, The endless theme of heavenly strains, When time and death shall be no more: And all eternity shall prove Too short to utter all His love.

We Will Not Close Our Wakeful Eyes

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 We will not close our wakeful eyes, We will not let our eyelids sleep, But humbly lift them to the skies, And all a solemn vigil keep; So many years on sin bestowed, Can we not watch one night for God? 2 How many pass the guilty night In revelings and frantic mirth! The creature is their sole delight, Their happiness the things of earth; For us suffice the season past, We choose the better part at last. 3 We can, O Jesus, for Thy sake, Devote our ev'ry hour to Thee; Speak but the word, our souls shall wake, And sing with cheerful melody; Thy praise shall our glad tongues employ, And ev'ry heart shall leap for joy!

How blest the righteous when he dies!

Author: Anna L. Barbauld Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 466 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 How blest the righteous when he dies! When sinks a weary soul to rest! How mildly beam the closing eyes! How gently heaves t'expiring breast! 2 So fades a summer cloud away; So sinks the gale when storms are o’er; So gently shuts the eye of day; So dies a wave along the shore. 3 A holy quiet reigns around, A calm which life nor death destroys; And nought disturbs that peace profound Which his unfettered soul enjoys. 4 Life’s labor done, as sinks the clay, Light from its load the spirit flies, While heaven and earth combine to say, “How blest the righteous when he dies!” Amen.
