O where our Saviour sweeps the line
As earth's pageant passes by

As earth's pageant passes by
Heaven is here, its hymns of gladness
Author: J. G. Adams Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Christian Character and Life
Heaven is here, its hymns of gladness
Great God! whose all-pervading eye
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Great God! whose all-pervading eye
Sees ev'ry passion of my soul!
When sunk too low, or rais'd too high,
Teach me those passions to control.
2 Temper the fervours of my frame;
Be charity their constant spring;
And O, let no unhallowed flame
Pollute the offerings I bring.
3 Let peace with piety unite,
To mend the bias of my will;
While hope and heav'n-ey'd faith excite,
And wisdom regulates, my zeal:
4 That wisdom, which to meekness turns:
Wisdom descending from above;
And let my zeal, whene'er it burns,
Be kindled by the fire of love.
Great God! whose all-pervading eye
Supreme and universal light!
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Supreme and universal light!
Fountain of reason! Judge of right!
Without whose kind, directing ray,
In everlasting night we stray:
2 Assist us, Lord, to act, to be,
What all thy sacred laws decree;
Worthy that intellectual flame,
Which from thy breathing spirit came.
3 No slave to profit, shame, or fear,
O may our steadfast bosoms bear
The stamp of heav'n, an honest heart,
Above the mean disguise of art!
4 May our expanded souls disclaim
The narrow view, the selfish aim;
But with a Christian zeal embrace
Whate’er is friendly to our race.
5 O Father! grace and virtue grant:
No more we wish, no more we want:
To know, to serve thee, and to love,
Is peace below, is bliss above.
Supreme and universal light!
I want a principle within
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 224 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 I want a principle within
of watchful, godly fear,
A sensibility of sin,
a pain to feel it near.
2 That I from thee no more may part,
No more thy goodness grieve:
The filial awe, the loving heart,
The tender conscience give;
3 A heart resign'd, submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer's throne,
Where only Christ is heard to speak,
Where Jesus reigns alone.
4 Quick as the apple of an eye,
O God, my conscience make;
Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
And keep it still awake.
5 If to the right or left I stray,
That moment, Lord, reprove;
And let me mourn, and weep, and pray,
For having griev'd thy love!
6 O! may the least omission pain
My well-instructed soul;
That I may find that grace again,
Which makes the wounded whole.
I want a principle within
Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 121 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place,
Great God, and dwell before thy face?
The man who loves religion now,
And humbly walk with God below;
2 Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean,
Whose lips shall speak the things they mean.
No slanders dwell upon his tongue;
He hates to do a neighbor wrong.
3 He will not trust an ill report,
Nor vent it to his neighbour's hurt;
Sinners of state he can despise,
But saints are honour'd in his eyes.
4 Firm to his word he ever stood,
And always makes his promise good:
Nor will he change the thing he swears,
Whatever pain or loss he bears.
5 He never deals in bribing gold,
And mourns that justice should be sold.
If others vex and grind the poor,
Sweet charity attends his door.
6 He loves his enemies, and prays
For those that curse him to his face;
And doth to all men still the same,
That he could hope or wish from them.
7 Yet, when his holiest works are done,
His soul depends on grace alone.
This is the man thy face shall see,
And dwell for ever, Lord! with thee.
Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 226 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews,
And nobler speech, that angels use:
If love be absent, I am found,
Like tinkling brass, an empty sound.
2 Were I inspir'd to preach and tell
All that is done in heav'n and hell;
Or could my faith the world remove,
Still I am nothing without love.
3 Should I distribute all my store
To feed the bowels of the poor,
Or give my body to the flame,
To gain a martyr's glorious name:
4 If love to God, and love to men
Be absent, all my hopes are vain;
Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal,
The work of love can e'er fulfil.
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews
What strange perplexities arise!
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 What strange perplexities arise!
What anxious fears and jealousies!
What crowds in doubtful light appear!
How few, alas, approv'd and clear!
2 And what am I?--my soul, awake,
And an impartial survey take.
Does no dark sign, no ground of fear,
In practice or in heart appear?
3 What image does my spirit bear?
Is Jesus form'd and living there?
Say, do His lineaments divine
In thought, and word, and action shine?
4 Searcher of hearts, O search me still;
The secrets of my soul reveal;
My fears remove; let me appear
To God and my own conscience clear!
What strange perplexities arise!
Thou art my portion, O my God!
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 170 hymnals Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Thou art my portion, O my God!
Soon as I know thy way,
My heart makes haste t'obey thy word,
And suffers no delay.
2 I choose the path of heav'nly truth,
And glory in my choice;
Not all the riches of the earth
Could make me so rejoice.
3 The testimonies of thy grace
I set before mine eyes;
Thence I derive my daily strength,
And there my comfort lies.
4 Whene'er I wander from thy path
I think upon my ways;
Then turn my feet to thy commands,
And trust thy pard'ning grace.
5 Now I am thine, for ever thine:
O save thy servant, Lord!
Thou art my shield, my hiding-place;
My hope is in thy Word.
6 Thou hast inclin'd this heart of mine
Thy statutes to fulfil;
And thus, till mortal life shall end,
Would I perform thy will.
Thou art my portion, O my God!
