The blessedness of Gospel Times

Constrained by their Lord to embark

Hymnal: CD1791 #LVII (1791) Scripture: Matthew 14:22 Lyrics: 1 Constrain'd by their Lord to embark, And venture without him to Sea. The season tempestuous and dark, How griev'd the Disciples must be! But tho' he remain'd on the Shore, He spent the Night for them in Pray'r; They still were as safe as before, And equally under his Care. 2 They strove, tho' in vain, for a while, The Force of the Waves to withstand; But when they were weary'd with Toil, They saw their dear Saviour at hand; They gladly receiv'd him on Board, His Presence their Spirits reviv'd; The Sea became calm at his Word, And soon at their Port they arriv'd. 3 Believers now like them are tost By Storms, of a perilous Deep; But cannot be possibly lost While Jesus has Charge of the Ship: Tho' Billows and winds are enrag'd, And threaten to make them their Sport; This Pilot hath firmly engag'd To bring them, in Safety to Port. 4 If sometimes we struggle alone, And he is withdrawn from our View, It makes us more willing to own We nothing without him can do: Then Satan our Hopes would assail, But Jesus is still within call; And when our poor Efforts quite fail, He comes in good Time, and does all. 5 Yet, Lord, we are ready to shrink, Unless we thy Presence perceive; O save us (we cry) or we sink, We would but we cannot believe: The Night has been long, and severe, The Winds and the Seas are still high; Dear Saviour, this Moment appear, And say to our Souls, "It is I!"

The Kingdom of God not in Word but in Power

Hymnal: CD1791 #I (1791) Scripture: Matthew 21:9 First Line: A Form of Words, tho' e'er so sound Lyrics: 1 A Form of Words, tho' e'er so sound, Can never save a Soul; The Holy Ghost must give the Wound, And make the wounded whole. 2 Tho' God's Election is a Truth, Small Comfort there I see, Till I am told by God's own Mouth That he has chosen ME. 3 Sinners,I read, are justify'd By Faith in JESU's Blood: But when to ME that Blood's apply'd, 'Tis then it does me good. 4 To Perseverance I agree, The Thing to me is clear, Because the Lord has promis'd me That I shall persevere. 6 Imputed Righteousness I own A Doctrine most divine; For Jesus to my Heart makes known That all his Merit's mine. 6 That Christ is God I can avouch; And for his People cares, Since I have pray'd to him as such, And he has heard my Pray'rs. 7 That Sinners black as Hell, by Christ Are sav'd, I know full well: For I his Mercy have not miss'd; And I am black as Hell. 8 Thus Christians glorify the Lord, His Spirit joins with ours, In bearing Witness to his Word, With all it's saving Pow'rs.

Ye pure in Heart, obtain the Grace To see, without a Veil, his Face. 4 Ye, that have here receiv'd The Unction from above, And in his Spirit liv'd, And thirsted for his Love; JESUS shall claim you for his Bride; Rejoice with all the Sanctify'd. 5 Rejoice, in glorious Hope, Of that great Day unknown, When you shall be caught up To stand before his Throne; Call'd to partake the Marriage-Feast, And lean on our Immanuel's Breast. 6 The everlasting Doors Shall soon the Saint, receive, Above those Angel-Powers In glorious Joy to live: Far from a World of Grief and Sin, With GOD eternally shut in. 7 Then let us wait to hear The Trumpet's welcome sound; To see our LORD appear, May we be watching found; With that bless'd Wedding-Robe endu'd,-- The Blood and righteousness of GOD.

Comfort to such who seek a risen JESUS

Hymnal: CD1791 #CCCXL (1791) Scripture: Matthew 28:5-6 First Line: Ye humble Souls that seek the LORD Lyrics: 1 Ye humble Souls that seek the LORD, Chase all your Fears away; And bow with Pleasure down to see The Place where JESUS lay, 2 Thus low the Lord of Life was brought; Such Wonders Love can do; Thus cold in Death, that Bosom lay, Which throbb'd and bled for you. 3 A Moment give a Loose to Grief, Let grateful Sorrows rise; And wash the bloody Stains away, With Torrents from your Eyes 4 Then dry your Tears, and tune your songs, The Saviour lives again; Not all the Gates and Bars of Death The Conq'ror could detain. 5 High o'er th' angelic Bands he rears His once dishonour'd Head; And tho' unnumber'd Years he reigns, Who dwelt among the Dead, 6 With Joy, like his, shall every Saint His empty Tomb survey; Then rise, with his ascending LORD, To Realms of endless Day.

Lord; I believe a Rest remains

Hymnal: CD1791 #CLXVI (1791) Scripture: Luke 1:46 Lyrics: 1 Lord; I believe a Rest remains, To all thy People known, A Rest where pure Enjoyment reigns, And Thou art lov'd alone. 2 A Rest, where all our Souls Desire Is fixt on Things above; Where Fear and Sin, and Grief expire, Cast out by perfect Love. 3 Oh that I now the Rest might know, Believe, and enter in! Now Saviour,, now the Pow'r bestow, And let me cease from Sin! 4 Remove all Hardness from my Heart, This Unbelief remove; To me the Rest of Faith impart, The Sabbath of thy love. 5 I would be thine; thou know'st I would, And have thee all my own: Thee, Oh! my All-Sufficient good, I want, and thee alone. 6 Thy Name to me, thy Nature grant! This, only this, be giv'n: Nothing beside my God I want, Nothing in Earth and Heav'n. 7 Come, Oh my Saviour, come away, Into my Soul descend! No longer from thy Creature stay, My Author and my End! 8 Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, And Seal me thine abode! Let all I am in thee be lost, Let all be lost in God. Topics: Faith and Obedience
