Increase of the Church promised

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CLXVII (1793) First Line: Father, is not thy promise pledg'd Lyrics: 1 Father, is not thy promise pledg'd To thine exalted Son, That thro' the nations of the earth, Thy word of life shall run? 2 "Ask, and I give the heathen lands For thine inheritance, And to the world's remotest shores Thine empire shall advance." 3 Hast thou not said the blinded Jews Shall their Redeemer own; While Gentiles to his standard croud, And bow before his throne? 4 When shall th' untutor'd Indian tribes, A dark bewilder'd race, Sit down at our Immanuel's Feet, And learn and feel his grace. 4 Are not all kingdoms, tribes, and tongues, Under th' expanse of heaven, To the dominion of thy Son, Without exception given? 5 From east to west, from north to south, Then be his name ador'd! Europe, with all thy millions, shout Hosannahs to thy Lord! 6 Asia and Africa, resound From shore to shore his fame; And thou, America, in songs, Redeeming love proclaim!

The Crucifixion

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XXVII (1793) First Line: Flow fast, my tears; the cause is great Lyrics: 1 Flow fast, my tears; the cause is great; This tribute claims an injur'd freind: One whom I long pursu'd with hate, And yet he lov'd me to the end. When death his terrors round me spread, And aim'd his arrows at my head, Christ interpos'd; the wound he bore, And bade the monster dare no more. 2 Fast flow, my tears, yet faster flow; Stream copious as yon purple tide; 'Twas I that dealt the deadly blow, I urg'd the hand that pierc'd his side. Ken pangs and agonizing smart, Oppress his soul, and rend his heart; While justice, arm'd with pow'r divine, Pours on his head what's due to mine. 3 Fast, and yet faster, flow my tears, Love breaks the heart, and drains the eyes His visage marr'd, tow'rds heav'n he rears, And, pleading for his murd'rer dies! My grief nor measure knows, nor end, Till he appears the sinner's friend! And gives me in an happy hour, To feel the risen Saviour's pow'r. Topics: Son Languages: English

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CLXI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Frequent the day of God returns Lyrics: 1 Frequent the day of God returns To shed its quickening beams; And yet how slow devotion burns! How languid are its flames! 2 Accept our faint attempts to love, Our frailties, Lord, forgive; We would be like thy saints above, And praise thee while we live. 3 Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope, And fit us to ascend, Where the assembly ne'er breaks up, The Sabbath ne'er shall end: 4 Where we shall breathe in heavenly air, With heavenly lustre shine; Before the throne of God appear, And feast on Love divine: 5 Where we, in high seraphic strains, Shall all our powers employ; Delighted, range th' etherial plains, And take our fill of joy.

Fellowship with GOD

Author: Medley Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LXXXVIII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: From all that's mortal, all that's vain Lyrics: 1 From all that's mortal, all that's vain, And from this earthly clod, Arise, my soul, and strive to gain Sweet fellowship with God. 2 Say, what is there beneath the skies, In all the paths thou'st trod, Can suit thy wishes or thy joys, Like fellowship with God? 3 Not life nor all the toys of art, Nor pleasure's flow'ry road; Can to my soul such bliss impart, As fellowship with God. 4 When I am made in love to bear Affliction's needful rod, Light, sweet, and kind the strokes appear, Thro' fellowship with God. 5 In fierce temptation's fiery blasts, Or dark desertion's road, I'm happy if I can but taste, Some fellowship with God. 7 So when the icy hand of death Shall chill my flowing blood, With joy I'll yield my latest breath, In fellowship with God.

On the Loss of the dearest Relative

Author: Hawes Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXLVI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: From my fond arms my love is fled Lyrics: 1 From my fond arms my love is fled, And leaves me here to mourn; Snatch'd to the mansions of the dead, From whence there's no return. 2 My solitary bed forlorn, At night my tears bedew; And with the sun I wake at morn, My sorrows to renew. 3 Where'er I turn my weary eyes, Sad desolations reign; In her all earthly comfort dies, Nor hopes to rise again. 4 Behold me, Lord! thy grace impart! Excessive grief subdue! Compassion fills thy tender heart, Which mortals never knew. 5 In death when the lov'd Lazarus slept How pierc'd with human woe! Over his tomb my Jesus wept, With his, my tears may flow. 6 I would not murmur, though I mourn; He gave, and takes away: My comforts fled shall yet return At the eternal day.

Faith

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXXIII (1793) First Line: From whence this fear and unbelief! Lyrics: 1 From whence this fear and unbelief! Hast thou, O Father, put to grief Thy spotless Son for me? And will the righteous Judge of men, Condemn me for that debt of sin, Which Lord, was charg'd on thee! 2 Complete atonement thou hast made, And to the utmost farthing paid Whate'er thy people ow'd; How then can wrath on me take place, If shelter'd in thy righteousness, And sprinkled with thy blood? 3 Turn then, my soul, unto thy rest; The merits of thy great High Priest Speak peace and liberty: Trust in his efficacious blood; Nor fear thy banishment from God, Since Jesus dy'd for thee.

How warm the solar beams! And to refresh the ground, the rains Descend in gentle streams. 3 Great God, at thy command Seasons in order rise: Thy power in love and concert reign Thro' earth, and seas, and skies: 4 With grateful praise we own Thy providential hand, While grass for kine, and herb and corn For men, enrich the land: 5 But greater still the gift Of thine incarnate Son; By him forgiveness, peace, and joy Thro' endless ages run.
