Redemption by Christ alone

Author: Steele Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LV (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Enslav'd by sin and bound in chains Lyrics: 1 Enslav'd by sin and bound in chains, Beneath it's dreadful tyrant sway, And doom'd to everlasting pains, We wretched guilty captives lay. 2 Nor gold nor gems could buy our peace; Nor the whole world's collected store Suffice to purchase our release: A thousand worlds were all too poor. 3 Jesus the Lord, the mighty God, An all-sufficient ransom paid; Invalued price! his precious blood, For vile rebellious traitors shed. 4 Jesus the sacrifice became, To rescue guilty souls from hell; The spotless, bleeding, dying Lamb Beneath avenging justice fell. 5 Amazing goodness! love divine! O may our grateful hearts adore The matchless grace, nor yield to sin, Nor wear its cruel fetters more! 6 Dear Saviour, let thy love persue The glorious work it has begun; Each secret lurking foe subdue, And let our hearts be thine alone.

Old Age

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CLXXXVII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Eternal God! enthron'd on high! Lyrics: 1 Eternal God! enthron'd on high! Whom Angel-hosts adore; Who yet to suppliant dust art nigh, Thy presence I implore. 2 O guide me down the steep of age, And keep my passions cool; Teach me to scan the sacred page, And practice every rule. 3 My flying years time urges on, What's human must decay; My friends, my young companions gone, Can I expect to stay? 4 Can I exemption plead, when death Projects his awful dart? Can med'cines then prolong my breath, Or virtue shield my heart? 5 Ah! no—then smooth the mortal hour, On thee my hope depends, Support me with Almighty power, While dust to dust descends. 6 Then shall my soul, O gracious God! (While angels join the lay;) Admitted to the bless'd abode, Its endless Anthems pay. 7 Thro' Heaven, howe'er remote the bound, Thy matchless love proclaim, And join the choir of saints that sound Their great Redeemer's name.

GOD exalted above all Praise

Author: Watts Hymnal: CoEH1793 #I (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Eternal Power,!whose high abode Lyrics: 1 Eternal Power whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God; Infinite length, beyond the bounds Where stars revolve their little rounds. 2 The lowest step above thy seat Rises too high for Gabriel's feet; In vain the tall Arch-angel tries To reach the height with wondering eyes. 3 Lord, what shall earth and ashes do? We would adore our Maker too; From sin and dust to thee we cry, The Great, the Holy, and the High! 4 Earth, from afar, has heard thy fame, And worms have learn'd to lisp thy name, But O, the glories of thy mind, Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 5 God is in Heaven, but men below; Be short our tunes; our words be few. A sacred reverence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues. Topics: God Languages: English

Seasons crowned with Goodness

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CLXXXIV (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Eternal source of every joy Lyrics: 1 Eternal source of every joy! Well may thy praise our lips employ, While in thy temple we appear, To hail thee Sovereign of the year. 2 Wide as the wheels of nature roll, Thy hand supports and guides the whole; The sun is taught by thee to rise, And darkness when to veil the skies. 3 The flowery spring at thy command, Perfumes the air and paints the land; The summer rays with vigour shine To raise the corn and cheer the vine. 4 Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours Thro' all our coasts redundant stores; While winter, soften'd by thy care, No more the face of horror wears. 5 Seasons, and months, and weeks, and days Demand successive songs of praise; And be the grateful homage paid, With morning light, and evening shade. 6 Here in thy house let incense rise, And circling Sabbaths bless our eyes, 'Till to those lofty heights we soar, Where days and years revolve no more.

Author: Davies Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XLIII (1793) First Line: Eternal Spirit, Source of light Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit, source of light, Enlivening, consecrating fire, Descend and with celestial heat Our dull, our frozen hearts inspire: Our souls refine, our dross consume! Come, condescending Spirit, come! 2 In our cold breasts, O strike a spark Of the pure flame, which seraphs feel, Nor let us wander in the dark, Or lie benumb'd and stupid still: Come, vivifying Spirit, come, And make our hearts thy constant home! 3 Whatever guilt and madness dare, We would not quench the heavenly fire; Our hearts as fuel we prepare, Though in the flame we should expire: Our breasts expand to make thee room: Come, purifying Spirit, come! 4 Let pure devotion's fervors rise! Let every pious passion glow! O let the raptures of the skies Kindle in our cold hearts below! Come, condescending Spirit, come, And make our souls thy constant home!

To guilty souls a dreadful wound; But O! if Christ and heaven be mine, How sweet the accents! how divine! 3 Be this my chief, my only care, My high pursuit, my ardent prayer, An interest in the Savioru's blood, My pardon seal'd and peace with God. 4 But should my brightest hopes be vain, The rising doubt, how sharp its pain! My fears, O gracious God, remove, Confirm my title to thy love. 5 Search, Lord, O search my inmost heart, And light, and hope, and joy impart, From guilt and error set me free, And guide me safe to heaven and thee.

Faith

Author: Beddome Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXXII (1793) First Line: Faith— 'tis a precious grace Lyrics: 1 Faith— 'tis a precious grace, Where'er it is bestow'd! It boasts of a celestial birth, And is the gift of God! 2 Jesus it owns a king, An all-atoning priest; It claims no merit of its own, But finds it all in Christ. 3 To him it leads the soul, When fill'd with deep distress; Flies to the fountain of his blood, And trusts his righteousness. 4 Since 'tis thy work alone, And that divinely free, Lord, send the Spirit of thy Son To work this faith in me.

The Forerunner

Author: Medley Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XXXVIII (1793) First Line: Far, far beyond these lower skies Lyrics: 1 Far, far beyond these lower skies, Up to the glories all his own, Where we by faith lift up our eyes, There Jesus our forerunner's GONE. 2 Amidst the shining hosts above, Where his bless'd smile new pleasure gives, Where all is wonder, joy, and love, There Jesus our forerunner LIVES. 3 High on his throne of heavenly light Eternal glories he sustains, Whilst saints and angels bless the sight; There Jesus our forerunner REIGNS. 4 He lives, salvation to impart From sin and satan's cursed wiles, With love eternal in his heart; There Jesus our forerunner SMILES. 5 Before his heavenly Father's face For every saint he intercedes, And, with infallible success, There Jesus our forerunner PLEADS. 6 But O, 'tis this completes the whole, And all its bliss and glory proves, That wile eternal ages roll There Jesus our forerunner LOVES.
