Their Faces veil when they appear
Before the Son of Man.

Our Saviour, and our Friend!

Thy Love will not dispise
Our grateful Songs of humble Praise,
Our well-meant Sacrifice.

And spread abroad thy Fame:
Let ev'ry Heart with praise o'erflow,
And bless thy sacred Name!

Be to our Jesus giv'n!
By Men below,--by Hosts above,--
By all in Earth and Heav'n!

Is hast'ning to his Throne;
The Bride doth say, come, haste away,
My dear beloved One.

Is heard within the Land:
The hundred Forty four Thousand
Shall soon with Jesus stand.

Their Songs in such a Strain,
That learn can none but those alone
Who with the Lord shall reign.

To ransom Rebel Worms;

In it diviner Forms.

A save Defence, a peaceful Home,
When Storms of Trouble rise.

The Souls who trust in thee;
Their humble Hope thou wilt regard,
With Bliss divinely free.

What Honours shall we raise?
Not all the raptur'd Songs above
Can render equal Praise.

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LVI (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response First Line: Come ye Sinners Poor and Wretched Lyrics: 1 Come ye Sinners Poor and Wretched,
Weak and wounded sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of Pity, Love and Pow'r;
He is able,
He is willing; doubt no more.
2 Ho! ye Needy, come and welcome,
God's Free-Bounty glorify,
True belief and true Repentance,
Ev'ry Grace that brings us nigh,
Without Money,
Come to Jesus Christ and buy.
3 Let not Conscience make you linger,
Nor of Fitness fondly dream:
All the Fitness he requireth,
Is to feel you Need of him;
This he gives you,
'Tis the Spirits glimm'ring Beam.
4 Come ye weary, heavy laden,
Bruis'd and mangled by the Fall.
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all;
Not the Righteous,
Sinners Jesus came to call.
5 Agonizing in the Garden,
Lo your Maker prostrate lies!
On the bloody Tree behold him,
Hear him cry before he dies,
"It is finish'd,"
Sinner, will not this suffice?
6 Lo! th' incarnate God ascended,
Pleads the Merit of his Blood;
Venture on him, venture freely,
Let no other Trust intrude:
None but Jesus,
Can do helpless Sinners good.
7 Saints and Angels, join'd in Concert,
Sing the Praises of the Lamb,
While the blissful Seats of Heaven,
Sweetly Echo with his Name,
Hallelujah!
Sinners here may do the same.

From all that dwell below the skies
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LXXX (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response Scripture: Psalm 19
From all that dwell below the skies
I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXIX (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response Lyrics: 1 I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow
In Faith, and Love, and ev'ry Grace;
Might more of his Salvation know,
And seek more earnestly his Face.
2 'Twas he who taught me thus to pray;
And he, I trust, has answer'd Pray'r:
But it has been in such a Way
As almost drove me to Despair.
3 I hop'd that in some favour'd Hour,
At once he'd grant me my Request;
And, by his Love's constraining Pow'r,
Subdue my Sins, and give me Rest.
4 Instead of this, he made me feel
The hidden Evils of my Heart,
And let the angry Pow'rs of Hell
Assault my soul in ev'ry Part.
5 Yea more, with his own Hand he seem'd
Intent to agravate my Woe;
Cross'd all the fair Designs I schem'd,
Blasted my Gourds, and laid me low.
6 LORD, why is this? I trembling cry'd;
Wilt thou pursue thy worm to Death?
'Tis in this Way, the LORD reply'd,
I answer Pray'r for Grace and Faith.
7 These inward Trials I employ
From Self and Pride to set thee free,
To break thy Schemes of worldly Joy,
That thou may'st seek thy All in Me. Languages: English
I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow
Rise, my Soul, and stretch thy Wings
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXLVI (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response Lyrics: 1 Rise, my Soul, and stretch thy Wings,
Thy better Portion Trace;
Rise from Transitory Things,
Tow'rds Heav'n, thy native Place;
Sun, and Moon, and Stars decay,
Time shall soon this Earth remove;
Rise, my Soul, and haste away
To Seats prepar'd above.
2 Rivers to the Ocean run,
Nor stay in all their Course;
Fire ascending seeks the Sun,
Both speed them to their Source;
To a Soul that's born of GOD,
Pants to view his glorious Face;
Upward tends to his Abode,
To rest in his Embrace.
3 Fly the Riches, fly me Cares;
While I that Coast explore;
Flattering World, with all thy Snares,
Solicit me no more.
Pilgrims fix not here their Home;
Strangers tarry but a Night,
When the last dear Morn is come,
They'll rise to joyful Light.
4 Cease, ye Pilgrims, cease to mourn,
Press onward to the Prize;
Soon our Saviour will return,
Triumphant in the Skies:
Yet a Season, and you know
Happy Entrance will be giv'n,
All our Sorrows left below,
And Earth exchang'd for Heav'n. Languages: English
Rise, my Soul, and stretch thy Wings

The holy Gospel we profess;
So let our Works and Virtues shine,
To prove the Doctrine all Divine.
2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The Honours of our SAVIOUR-GOF;
When the Salvation reigns within,
And Grace subdues the Pow'r of Sin.
3 Our Flesh and Sense must be deny'd,
Passion and Envy, Lust and Pride;
While Justice, Temp'rance, Truth, and Love,
Our inward Piety approve.
4 Religion bears our Spirits up,
While we expect that blessed Hope,
The bright Appearance of the LORD,
And Faith stands leaning on his Word. Languages: English
