Incarnation of Christ

Author: Medley Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Mortals awake, with angels join Lyrics: 1 Mortals awake, with angels join, And chaunt the solemn lay; Joy, love and gratitude combine To hail th' auspicious day. 2 In Heaven the rapturous song began, And sweet seraphic fire Thro' all the shining legions ran, And strung and tun'd the lyre. 3 Swift thro' the vast expanse it flew, And loud the echo roll'd; The theme, the song, the joy was great, 'Twas more than Heaven could hold. 4 Down thro' the portals of the sky Th' impetuous torrent ran; And angels flew with eager joy To bear the news to man. 5 With joy the chorus we'll repeat, Glory to God on high: Good-will and peace are now complete, Jesus was born to die. 6 Hail, Prince of Life, for ever hail! Redeemer, brother, friend! Tho' earth, and time, and life should fail, Thy praise shall never end. Topics: Son Scripture: Luke 2:14 Languages: English

Padron spoken

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LXXIII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: My Saviour, let me hear thy voice Lyrics: 1 My Saviour, let me hear thy voice Pronounce the words of peace; And all my warmest powers shall join To celebrate thy grace. 2 With gentle smiles call me thy child, And speak my sins forgiv'n; The accents mild shall charm mine ear All like the harps of heaven. 3 Cheerful, where'er thy hand shall lead, The darkest path I'll tread; Cheerful I'll quit these mortal shores, And mingle with the dead. 4 When dreadful guilt is done away, No other fears we know; That hand, which scatters pardon down, Shall crowns of life bestow. 5 What glory, Lord, to thee is due! With wonder I adore; But could I sing as angels do, My highest praise were poor. Topics: The Sensible Sinner Scripture: Matthew 9:2 Languages: English

A Gracious GOD

Author: Medley Hymnal: CoEH1793 #III (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: My soul, arise in joyful lays Lyrics: 1 My soul, arise in joyful lays, Renounce this earthly clod, Tuen all thy pow'rs to sweetest praise, And sing, thy gracious God. 2 When in my heart his hev'nly love He sweetly sheds abroad, How joyfully he makes me prove He is my gracious God. 3 When borne on faith's advent'rous wing I mount to his abode, Then, while I soar, I sweetly sing, He is my gracious God. 4 In all my trials here below, I'll humbly kiss his rod, For this thro' grace I surely know, He's still my graciousGod. 5 When in my last departing hour I pass thro' death's cold flood, Upheld by sov'reign love and pow'r, I'll sing, my gracious God. 6 But when he shall my spirit bring To heav'n my bless'd abode, There to eternity I'll sing, Thou art my gracious God.

Helpless Man

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CIV (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: My times of sorrow and of joy Lyrics: 1 My times of sorrow and of joy, Great God! are in thy hand; My choicest comforts come from thee, And go at thy command. 2 If thou should'st take them all away, Yet would I not repine; Before they were possess'd by me, They were entirely thine. 3 Nor would I drop a murm'ring word, Tho' the whole world were gone; But seek enduring happiness In thee, and thee alone. 4 What is the world, of all things here? 'Tis but a bitter sweet; When I attempt a rose to pluck, A pricking thorn I meet. 5 Here perfect bliss can ne'er be found, The honey's mixt with gall; Midst changing scenes and dying friends Be thou my ALL IN ALL.

Sorrow spread before the LORD

Author: Watts Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXLIV (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O that I knew the secret place Lyrics: 1 O that I knew the secret place, Where I might find my God! I'd spread my wants before his face, And pour my woes abroad. 2 I'd tell him how my sins arise, What sorrows I sustain; How grace decays, and comfort dies, And leaves my heart in pain. 3 He knows what arguments I'd take To wrestle with my God; I'd plead for his own mercy's sake, And for my Saviour's blood. 4 My God will pity my complaints, And heal my broken bones; He takes the meaning of his saints, The language of their groans. 5 Arise, my soul, from deep distress, And banish ev'ry fear; He calls thee to his throne of grace, To spread thy sorrows there.

Absence from GOD

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O thou, whose tender mercy hears Lyrics: 1 O thou, whose tender mercy hears Contrition's humble cry: Whose hand, indulgent, wipes the tears From sorrow's weeping eye. 2 See, low before the throne of grace We wretched wand'rer mourn! Thyself hast bid me seek thy face, Thyself hast said, return! 3 And shall my guilty fears prevail To drive us from thy feet? Thy word of promise cannot fail, My tow'r of safe retreat. 4 Absent from thee, my guide, my light, Without one cheering ray; Through dangers, fears, and gloomy night, How desolate my way! 5 O shine on this benighted heart, With beams of mercy shine; And let thy Spirit's voice impart A taste of joys divine.

Sion's Feast

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CLXVI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: On Sion, his own holy mount Lyrics: 1 On Sion, his most holy mount, God will a feast prepare, And Israel's sons, and Gentile lands Shall in the banquet share. 2 Marrow and fatness are the food His bounteous hand bestows: Wine on the lees, and well refin'd, In rich abundance flows. 3 See to the vilest of the vile A free acceptance given! See, rebels by adopting grace 4 The pain'd, the sick, the dying, now To ease and health restor'd, With eager appetites partake The plenties of the board. 5 But O what draughts of bliss unknown, What dainties shall be given, When, with the myriads round the throne, We join the feast of heaven! 6 There joys immeasurably high Shall overflow the soul, And springs of life, that never dry, In thousand channels roll.

Redemption of Christ alone

Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LVI (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Plunged in a gulph of dark despair Lyrics: 1 Plung'd in a gulph of dark despair, We wretched sinners lay, Without one cheerful beam of hope, Or spark of glimm'ring day. 2 With pitying eyes the Prince of Grace Beheld our helpless grief; He saw, and (O amazing love!) He ran to our relief. 3 Down from the shining seats above, With joyful haste he fled; Enter'd the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead. 4 Oh! for this love let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Saviour's praises speak! 5 Angels, assist our mighty joys, Strike all your harps of gold; But when you raise your highest notes, His love can ne'er be told!

The Penitent

Author: Stennett Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LXV (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Prostrate, dear Jesus, at thy feet Lyrics: 1 Prostrate, dear Jesus, at thy feet, A guilty rebel lies; And upwards to the mercy seat Presumes to lift his eyes. 2 O let not justice frown me hence: Stay, stay the vengeful storm: Forbid it that Omnipotence Should crush a feeble worm. 3 If tears of sorrow would suffice To pay the debt I owe, Tears should from both my weeping eyes In ceaseless torrents flow. 4 But no such sacrifice I plead To expiate my guilt; No tears, but those which thou hast shed, No blood, but thou hast spilt. 5 Think of thy sorrows, dearest Lord, And all my sins forgive: Justice will well approve the word, That bids the sinner live.

Jehovah our Righteousness

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: CoEH1793 #XXII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Saviour divine, we know thy name Lyrics: 1 Saviour divine, we know thy name, And in that name we trust; Thou art the Lord our Righteousness Thou art thine Israel's boast. 2 Guilty we plead before thy throne, And low in dust we lie, Till Jesus stretch his gracious arm To bring the guilty nigh. 3 The sins of one most righteous day Might plunge us in dispair; Yet all the crimes of numerous years, Shall our great surety clear. 4 That spotless robe, which he hath wrought, Shall deck us all around; Nor by the piercing eye of God One blemish shall be found. 5 Pardon, and peace, and lively hope To sinners now are given; Israel and Judah soon shall change Their wilderness for Heaven. 6 With joy we taste that manna now, Thy mercy scatters down; We seal our humble vows to thee, And wait the promis'd crown.
