Listed into the cause of sin

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs #XLII (1801) Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs Lyrics: 1 Listed into the cause of sin, Why should a good be evil? Music alas! too long has been, Press'd to obey the Devil! Drunken, or lewd or light the lay Flows to the souls undoing, Widens, and strews the flow'rs the way Down to eternal ruin. 2 Who on the part of God will rise? Innocent mirth recover? Fly on the prey and take the prize, Plunder the carnal lover? Strip him of ev'ry moving strain, Ev'ry melting measure, Music in virtue's cause retain, Revive the holy pleasure, 3 Come let us try in Jesus's love Cannot as well inspire us: This is the theme of them above, This upon earth will fire us; Try if your hearts are tun'd to sing; Is there a subject greater? Melody all its strains may bring, Jesus' love is sweeter. 4 Jesus the soul of music is, He is the noblest passion; Jesus's name is life and peace, Happiness and salvation; Jesus's name the dead can raise, Shew us our sins forgiven, Fill us with all the life of grace, And carry us up to heaven. 5 Who hath a right like us to sing Us who his mercy raises? Merry our hearts for Christ is king, Joyful are all our faces. Who of his love doth once partake, He in the lord rejoices; Melody in our hearts we make, Melody with our voices. 6 He that a sprinkled conscience hath, He that in God is merry Let him sing psalms, the spirit saith, Joyful and never be weary; Offer the sacrifice of praise, Hearty and never ceasing; Spiritual songs and anthems raise, Worship and thanks and blessing. 7 Come let us in his praises join, Triumph in his salvation; Glory aspire to love divine, Worship and adoration: Heaven already is begun, Open'd in earth believer; Only believe, and then sing on, Heaven is yours forever.
