For a time of general Sickness

Author: Leech Hymnal: SHBA1792 #DXXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Death, with his dread commission seal'd Lyrics: 1 Death, with his dread commission seal'd, Now hastens to his arms: In awful state he takes the field, And sounds his dire alarms. 2 Attendant plagues around him stand, And wait his dread command; And pains, and dying groans obey The signal of his hand. 3 With cruel force, he scatters round His shafts of deadly power; While the grave waits its disten'd prey, Impatient to devour. 4 Look up, ye heirs of endless joy, Nor let your fears prevail; Eternal life is our reward, When life on earth shall fail. 5 What tho' his darts, promiscous hurl'd, Deal fatal plagues around; And heaps of putrid carcases O'erload the cumber'd ground; 6 The arrows, that shall wound your flesh, Were giv'n him from above, Dipt in the great redeemer's blood, And feather'd all with love. 7 These, with a gentle hand, he throws, And saints lie gasping too; But heavenly strength supports their souls, And bears them conquerors thro'. 8 Joyful they stretch their wings abroad, And all in triumph rise, To the fair palace of their God, And mansions in the skies.

Phisician of Souls

Author: Steele Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CLXXXVIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Deep are the wounds which sin has made Lyrics: 1 Deep are the wounds which sin hath made Where shall the sinner find a cure? In vain, alas, is nature's aid, The work exceeds all nature's power. 2 Sin like a raging fever, reigns, With fatal strength in every part; The dire contagion fills the veins, And spreads its poison to the heart. 3 And can no sovereign balm be found? And is no kind phisician nigh To ease the pain, and heal the wound, Ere life and hope for ever fly? 4 There is a great phisician near, Look up, O fainting soul, and live; See, in his heavenly smiles appear Such ease as nature cannot give! 5 See in the Savior's dying blood Life, health, and bliss, abundant flow! 'Tis only this dear, sacred flood Can ease thy pain and heal thy woe. 6 Sin throws in vain its pointed dart, For here a sovereign Cure is found; A cordial for a fainting heart, A balm for every painful wound.

Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound My Savior's voice to hear? 4 [Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock, I would disdain to feed? Hast thou a foe, before whose face I fear thy cause to plead? 5 Would not mine ardent spirit vie With angels round the throne, To execute thy sacred will, And make thy glory known? 6 Would not my heart pour forth its blood In honor of thy name? And challenge the cold hand of death To damp th' immortal flame?] 7 Thou know'st I love thee, dearest Lord, But Oh! I long to soar Far from the sphere of mortal joys, And learn to love thee more.

The everlasting Song

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #DLXXXVIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Earth has engross'd my love too long Lyrics: 1 Earth has engross'd my love too long 'Tis time I lift mine eyes Upward, dear Father, to thy throne, And to my native skies. 2 There the blest man my Savior sits; The God how bright he shines! And scatters infinite delights On all the happy minds. 3 Seraphs with elevated strains, Circle the throne around: And move, and charm the starry plains With an immortal sound. 4 Jesus, the Lord, their harps employs; Jesus, my love, they sing: Jesus, the life of both our joys, Sounds sweet from every string. 5 [Hark, how beyond the narrow bounds Of time and space they run; And echo in majestic sounds The godhead of the Son! 6 And now they sink the lofty tune, And gentler notes they play; And bring the Father's Equal down To dwell in humble clay. 7 O sacred beauties of the man! (The God resides within:) His flesh all pure without a stain; His soul without a sin: 8 But when to Calvary they turn, Silent their hearts abide; Suspended songs, a moment mourn The God that lov'd and dy'd. 9 Then, all at once, to living strains They summon every chord: Tell how he triumph'd o'er his pains, And chant the rising Lord.] 10 Now let me mount and join their song, And be an angel too: My heart, my hand, my ear, my tongue, Here's joyful work for you. 11 I would begin the music here, And so my soul should rise: O for some heavenly notes to bear My passions to the skies! 12 There ye that love my Savior sit; There I would have a place, Among your thrones, or at your feet, So I might see his face.

Faith fainting

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCXX (1792) First Line: Encompass'd with clouds of distress Lyrics: 1 Encompass'd with clouds of distress, Just ready all hope to resign, I pant for the light of thy face, And fear it will never be mine: Dishearten'd with waiting so long, I sink at thy feet with my load All plaintive I pour out my song, And stretch forth my hands unto God. 2 Shine, Lord, and my terror shall cease; The blood of atonement apply; And lead me to Jesus for peace, The rock that is higher than I: Speak, savior, for sweet is thy voice; Thy presence is fair to behold, Attend to my sorrows and cries, My groanings that cannot be told. 3 If sometimes I strive as I mourn, My hold of Thy promise to keep: The billows more fiercely return, And plunge me again in the deep: While harrass'd and cast from thy sight, The tempter suggests with a roar, "The Lord has forsaken thee quite; "Thy God will be gracious no more." 4 Yet, Lord, if thy love hath design'd No covenant blessing for me, Ah, tell me, how is it I find Some pleasure in waiting for thee? Almighty to rescue thou art; Thy grace is my only resource: If e’er thou art Lord of my heart, Thy spirit must take it by force.

O may our grateful hearts adore The matchless grace, nor yield to sin, Nor wear its cruel fetters more! 6 Dear Savior, let thy love persue The glorious work it has begun, Each secret lurking foe subdue, And let our hearts be thine alone.
