Dismiss us with Thy blessing, Lord

Author: Hart Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CLI (1790) Lyrics: 1 Dismiss us with thy blessing, Lord, Help us feed upon thy word, All that has been amiss, forgive, And let thy truth within us live. 2 Tho' we are guilty, thou art good; Wash all our works in JESUS' blood; Give ev'ry fetter'd soul release, And bid us all depart in peace.

Evening

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCXXXV (1790) First Line: Dread sov'reign let my ev'ning song Lyrics: 1 Dread Ssov'reign let my ev'ning song Like holy incense rise; Assist the off'rings of my tongue To reach the lofty skies. 2 Thro' all the dangers of the day Thy hand was still my guard, And still to drive my wants away, Thy mercy stood prepar'd. 3 Perpetual blessings from above Encompass me around, But O how few returns of love, Hath my creator found? 4 What have I done for him that dy'd To save my wretched soul? How are my follies multiply'd, Fast as my minutes roll! 5 Lord, with this guilty heart of mine, To thy dear cross I flee, And to thy grace my soul resign, To be renew'd by thee. 6 Sprinkled afresh with pard'ning blood, I lay me down to rest, As in th' embraces of my God, Or on my Saviour's breast.

Christian Soldier

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #LXXXI (1790) First Line: Dressed uniform the soldier's wear Lyrics: 1 Dress uniform the soldier's wear, When duty calls abroad; Not purchas'd at their cost or care, But by the prince bestowed. 2 Christ's soldiers too, if Christ-like bred, Have regimental dress; 'Tis linen white, faced with red, 'Tis Christ's own righteousness. 3 A rich and sightly robe it is, And to the soldier dear; No rose can learn to blush like this, Nor lily look so fair. 4 'Tis wrought by Jesus' skilful hand, And ting'd with his own blood; It make the Cherubs gazing stand To view this robe of God. 5 This vesture never waxeth old, Nor spot thereon can fall; It makes a soldier brisk and bold, And dutiful withall. 6 This robe put on me, Lord each day, And it shall hide my shame, Shall make me fight and sing and pray And bless my captain's name.

Looking upward

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #XXXIV (1790) First Line: Earth has detain'd me prisoner long Lyrics: 1 Earth has detain'd me prisoner long And I’m grown weary now My heart, my hand, my ear my tongue, There’s nothing here for you. 2 Lord in my thoughts, I stretch me down, And upwards glance mine eyes; Upward (my Father) to thy throne, And to my native skies. 3 There the dear Man my Saviour sits, The GOD, how bright he shines! And scatters infinite delights On all the happy minds. 4 Seraphs with elevated strains Circle the throne around, And move and charm the starry plains With an immortal sound. 5 JESUS the Lord their harps employs, JESUS my love they sing. JESUS the name of both our joys Sounds sweet from every string. Topics: Before Sermon Languages: English

Encourag'd by thy holy word

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCVII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Encourag'd by thy holy word, Thy churches thus coven'd, O Lord By us, their dole gates elect, Crave thy blest Spirit to direct. 2 O guide us by thy grace, to know, What best promotes thy cause below; And may our consultations be, Fresh means to lead us, Lord to thee. 3 Lord let the glory of thy name, And Zion's int'rest be our aim; From ev'ry selfish motive free, Devoted wholy, Lord to thee. 4 Associated year by year, From all thy churches may we hear, Of souls that to thy altars flee, Dependant wholy Lord on thee. 5 The labours of thy servants bless, In turning souls to righteousness; That many converts they may see: Yet give the glory Lord to thee.

God exalted above all praise

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #XLIII (1790) 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 hight with wond'ring 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 learnt to lisp thy name But O, the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 5 God is in heaven, and men below; Be short our tunes our words be few, A sacred rev'rence checks our songs, And praise sits silent on our tongues.

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #XXVI (1790) First Line: Eternal Wisdom thee we praise Lyrics: 1 Eternal wisdom, thee we praise, Thee the creation sings With thy lov'd name, rocks, hills and seas And heav'n's high palace rings. 2 Thy hand how wide it spread the sky! How glorious to behold! Ting'd with a blue of heavenly dye, And starr'd with sparkling gold. 3 Thy glorious blaze all nature round, And strike the gazing sight, Thro' skies, and seas, and solid ground With terror and delight. 4 Infinite strength, and equal skill, Shine thro' the worlds abroad, Our souls with vast amazement fill, And speak the builder GOD. 5 But the sweet beauties of thy grace Our softer passions move; Pity divine in JESUS' face We see, adore, and love.

Devout retirement

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: SPHP1790 #LIII (1790) First Line: Far from my thoughts, vain world, be gone Lyrics: 1 Far from my thoughts vain world be gone, Let my religious hours alone; Fain would my eyes my Saviour see, I wait a visit, Lord, from thee. 2 My heart grows warm with holy fire, And kindles with a pure desire: Come my dear Jesus, from above, 3 O haste, but with a smiling face, And spread the table of thy grace; Bring down a taste of truth divine, And cheer my heart with sacred wine. 4 Bless'd Jesus, what delicious fare! How sweet thy entertainments are! Never did angels taste above Redeeming grace and dying love. 5 Hail great Immanuel, all divine! In thee thy Father's glories shine; Thou brightest, sweetest, fairest one, That eyes have seen, or angels known. Topics: Before Sermon Languages: English
