The Christian's Complaint, and Prayer for the Impenitent

Hymnal: CHSW1783 #XII (1783) First Line: Ah! woe is me, constrain'd to dwell Lyrics: 1 Ah! woe is me, constrain'd to dwell, Among the sons of night: Poor sinners dropping into hell, Who hate the gospel light: Wild as the untam'd Arab's race, Who from their Saviour fly; And trample on his pard'ning grace, And all his threats defy. 2 Yet here alas! in pain I live, Where Satan keeps his seat, And day bey day for those I grieve, Who will to sin submit. With gushing eyes their deeds I see, Their punishment is nigh, I ask with him who ransom'd me, Why will you sin and die? 3 Jesus, Redeemer of mankind, Display thy saving pow'r; Thy mercy let those outcasts find, To know their gracious hour. Ah! give them Lord a longer space, Nor suddenly consume, But let them take the proffer'd grace, And flee the wrath to come. 4 Open their eyes and ears to see Thy cross, to hear the cries, Sinner thy Saviour weeps for thee, For thee he weeps and dies. All the day long he meekly stands, His rebels to receive; And shows his wounds, and spreads his hands, And bids you turn and live. Languages: English

On the death of Miss R.

Hymnal: CHSW1783 #XLV (1783) First Line: And is the lovely shadow fled Lyrics: 1 And is the lovely shadow fled. The blooming wonder of her years, So soon inshrin'd among the dead. She justly claims our pious tears: who now to heav'nly spirits join;d, Hath left our wretched world behind. 2 Her earthly shortliv'd excellence With meek submission we bemoan, Snatch'd in a fatal movement hence, Gone from our arms to Jesus gone, To heighten by her swift remove The grief below, and joy above. 3 In vain the dear departing saint Forbids our gushing tears to flow, Forbear my friends your fond complaint, From earth to heav'n I gladly go, To glorious company above, Bright angels, and the God of love. 4 O praise him and rejoice for me So happy, happy in my God! So sonn from all my pain set free, And hasten to that blest abode, With swift desire my steps pursue, And take the prize prepar'd for you. 5 Meet am I for the great reward, The great reward I know is mine, Come O my sweet redeeming Lord, Open those lovely arms of thine, And take me up thy face to see, And let me die to live with thee. 6 The pray'r is seal'd the soul is fled, And sees the Saviour face to face: But still she speaks to us though dead. She calls us to that heav'nly place, Where all the storms of life are o'er, And pain and parting is no more. Languages: English

An Act of Faith

Hymnal: CHSW1783 #XIII (1783) First Line: Away my unbelieving fear Lyrics: 1 Away, my unbelieving fear! Fear shall in me no more take place! My Saviour doth not yet appear, He hides the brightness of his face; But shall I therefore let him go, And basely to the tempter yield? No, in the strength of Jesus, no! I never will give up the shield. 2 Although the vine its fruit deny, Although the olive yield no oil, The with'ring fig-tree droop and die, The field illude the tiller's toil; The empty stall no herd afford, And perish all the bleating race; Yet I will triumph in the Lord, The God of my salvation praise. 3 Barren although my soul remain, And no one bud of grace appear, No fruit of all my toil and pain, But sin and only sin is here; Although my gifts and comforts lost, My blooming hopes cut off I see, Yet will I win my Saviour trust, And glory that he dy'd for me. 4 In hope, believing against hope, Jesus my Lord and God I claim, Jesus my strength shall lift me up, Salvation is in Jesu's name; To me he soon shall bring it nigh, My soul shall then outstrip the wind, On wings of love mount up on high, And leave the world and sin behind.

Begin the high celestial strain

Hymnal: CHSW1783 #XLI (1783) Lyrics: 1 Begin the high celestial strain, My ravish'd soul, and sing A solemn hymn of grateful praise, To heav'ns almighty King. Ye circling mountains as you roll Your silver waves along, Whisper to all your verdant shores To subject of my song. 2 Retain it long, you ecchoing rocks, The sacred sound retain, And from your hollow winding caves Return it oft again. Bear it, ye winds on all your wings To distant climes away, And round the wide extended world My lofty theme convey. 3 Take the glad burthen of his name, Ye clouds, as you arise, Whether to deck the golden morn, Or shade the ev'ning skies. Let harmless thunders roll along The smooth etherial plain, And answer from the crystal vault To ev'ry flying strain. 4 Long let it warble round the spheres, And eccho through the sky, Till angels with immortal skill Improve the harmony. The blest creator sing, And warble consecrated lays To heav'ns almihgty King. Languages: English

Eternal Power, whose high abode

Hymnal: CHSW1783 #XXXIX (1783) Lyrics: 1 Eternal pow'r whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God Infinite lengths beyond the bounds Where stars revolve their little rounds. 2 Thee while the first archangel sings He hides his face behind his wings And ranks of shining thrones around Fall worshiping and spread the ground. 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 heav'n 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. Languages: English
