The man is ever blest

Author: Watts Hymnal: CBWM1872 #375 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest, Who shuns the sinner's ways; Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorner's place: 2 But makes the law of God His study and delight, Amid the labors of the day, And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf, his name shall live; His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so the ungodly race, They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee, like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before that judgment-seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves, The way the righteous go; But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow.

Who, O Lord, when life is o'er

Author: Harriet Auber; James Merrick Hymnal: CBWM1872 #394 (1890) Scripture: Psalm 15 Lyrics: 1 Who, O Lord, when life is o'er, Shall to heaven's blest mansions soar? Who, an ever-welcome guest, In Thy holy place shall rest? 2 He whose heart Thy Love has warmed; He whose will, to Thine conformed, Bids his life unsullied run; He whose word and though are one: 3 He who shuns the sinner's road, Loving those who love their God; Who, with hope and faith unfeigned, Treads the path by Thee ordained; 4 He who trusts in Christ alone, Not in aught himself has done; He, great God, shall be Thy care, And Thy choicest blessings share.

What sinners value I resign

Author: Watts Hymnal: CBWM1872 #563 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 17 Lyrics: 1 What sinners value, I resign: Lord, 'tis enough that Thou art mine! I shall behold Thy blissful face, And stand complete in righteousness. 2 This life's a dream, an empty show; But the bright world, to which I go Hath joys substantial and sincere: When shall I wake and find me there! 3 O glorious hour! O blest abode! I shall be near and like my God; And flesh and sin no more control The sacred pleasures of the soul. 4 My flesh shall slumber in the ground, Till the last trumpet's joyful sound; Then burst the chains with sweet surprise, And in my Saviour's image rise.

I love the volume of Thy Word

Author: Watts Hymnal: CBWM1872 #308 (1890) Scripture: Psalm 19 Lyrics: 1 I love the volume of Thy Word: What light and joy these leaves afford To souls benighted and distrest! Thy precepts guide my doubtful way; Thy fear forbids my feet to stray; Thy promise leads my heart to rest. 2 From the discoveries of Thy Law The perfect rules of life I draw; These are my study and delight: Not honey so invites the taste, Nor gold that hath the furnace passed Appears so pleasing to the sight. 3 Thy threatenings wake my slumbering eyes, And warn me where my danger lies; But 'tis Thy blessed Gospel, Lord, That makes my guilty conscience clean, Converts my soul, subdues my sin, And gives a free, but large reward. 4 Who knows the errors of his thoughts? My God, forgive my secret faults, And from presumptuous sins restrain Accept my poor attempts of praise, That I have read Thy Book of grace And book of nature not in vain.

Blest Instructor! from Thy ways

Author: James Merrick Hymnal: CBWM1872 #390 (1890) Scripture: Psalm 19 Lyrics: 1 Blest Instructor! from Thy ways, Who can tell how oft he strays! Save from error's growth my mind; Leave not, Lord, one root behind. 2 Purge me from guilt, that lies Wrapt within my heart's disguise; Let me thence, by Thee renewed, Each presumptuous sin exclude. 3 Let my tongue, from error free, Speak the words approved by Thee! To thine all-observing eyes Let my thoughts accepted rise. 4 While I thus Thy Name adore, And Thy healing grace implore, Blest Redeemer, bow Thine ear! God, my Strength, propitious hear.

Jehovah hear when Israel prays, And bring deliverance from on high! 2 The Name of Jacob's God defends Better than shields or brazen walls; He from His sanctuary sends Succor and strength when Zion calls. 3 In His salvation is our hope, And in the Name of Israel's God, Our troops shall lift their banners up, Our navies spread their flags abroad. 4 Some trust in horses trained for war, And some of chariots make their boasts, Our surest expectations are From Thee, the Lord of heavenly hosts. 5 Now save us, Lord, from slavish fear; Now let our hope be firm and strong, Till Thy salvation shall appear, And joy and triumph raise the song.

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: CBWM1872 #85 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 23 Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noonday walks He shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant; To fertile vales and dewy meads My weary, wandering steps He leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious lonely wilds I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains beguile; The barren wilderness shall smile, With sudden greens and herbage crowned, And streams shall murmur all around. 4 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord, art with me still: Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade.

Our Lord is risen from the dead

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: CBWM1872 #199 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 24 Lyrics: 1 Our Lord is risen from the dead; Our Jesus is gone up on high: The powers of hell are captive led, Dragged to the portals of the sky. 2 There His triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay: Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates! Ye everlasting doors, give way! 3 Loose all your bars of massy light, And wide unfold the radiant scene; He claims those mansions as His right; Receive the King of Glory in. 4 Who is the King of glory, who? The Lord, that all His foes o'ercame; The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew; And Jesus is the Conqueror's name. Topics: Ascension; Ascension Day Languages: English Tune Title: ASCENSION

When in distress on Him I called, He to my rescue came. 4 The hosts of God encamp around The dwellings of the just; Deliverance He affords to all Who on His succor trust. 5 O make but trial of His Love; Experience will decide How blest they are, and only they, Who in His truth confide. 6 Fear Him, ye saints, and you will then Have nothing else to fear; Make you His service your delight, He'll make your wants His care.
