Constrained by their Lord to embark

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LVII (1791) Topics: Faith and Obedience Lyrics: 1 Constrain'd by their Lord to embark, And venture without him to Sea. The season tempestuous and dark, How griev'd the Disciples must be! But tho' he remain'd on the Shore, He spent the Night for them in Pray'r; They still were as safe as before, And equally under his Care. 2 They strove, tho' in vain, for a while, The Force of the Waves to withstand; But when they were weary'd with Toil, They saw their dear Saviour at hand; They gladly receiv'd him on Board, His Presence their Spirits reviv'd; The Sea became calm at his Word, And soon at their Port they arriv'd. 3 Believers now like them are tost By Storms, of a perilous Deep; But cannot be possibly lost While Jesus has Charge of the Ship: Tho' Billows and winds are enrag'd, And threaten to make them their Sport; This Pilot hath firmly engag'd To bring them, in Safety to Port. 4 If sometimes we struggle alone, And he is withdrawn from our View, It makes us more willing to own We nothing without him can do: Then Satan our Hopes would assail, But Jesus is still within call; And when our poor Efforts quite fail, He comes in good Time, and does all. 5 Yet, Lord, we are ready to shrink, Unless we thy Presence perceive; O save us (we cry) or we sink, We would but we cannot believe: The Night has been long, and severe, The Winds and the Seas are still high; Dear Saviour, this Moment appear, And say to our Souls, "It is I!"

How meanly dwells the immortal mind

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CX (1791) Topics: Faith and Obedience Lyrics: 1 How meanly dwells th' immortal Mind! How vile these Bodies are! Why was a Clod of Earth, design'd T' enclose a heav'nly Star? 2 Weak Cottage where our Souls reside, This Flesh a tott'ring Wall: The frightfull Breaches gaping wide, The Buildings bends to fall. 3 All round it Storms of Sorrow blow, And Waves of Trouble roll; Cold Waves, and Winter Storms, beat through, And Pain the Tenant Soul. 4 "Alas, how frail our State!" said I, And thus went mourning on, Till sudden from the cleaving Sky A Gleam of Glory shone. 5 My Soul all felt the Glory come, And breath'd her native Air; Then she remember'd Heav'n her Home, And she a Pris'ner here. 6 Straight she began to change her Key, And joyful in her Chains, She sung the Frailty of her Clay In pleasurable Strains. 7 "How weak the Pris'n is where I dwell! "This Flesh a tott'ring Wall! "The Breaches chearfully foretell, "The House must shortly fall. 8 "No more my Friends, shall I complain, "Tho' all my Heart Strings ake, "Welcome Disease, and ev'ry Pain, That makes the Cottage shake. 9 "I have a Mansion built above, "By the eternal Hand And should the Earth's old Basis move "My Heav'nly House must stand. 10 "Yes for 'tis there my Saviour Reigns; "(I long to see my God) "And his immortal Strength sustains "The Purchase of his Blood. 11 "Hark, from on High my Saviour call "I come, my Lord, my Love; "Devotion breaks the Prison Walls, "And speeds my last Remove."

Our frail Bodies, and God our Preserver

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLII (1791) Topics: Faith and Obedience First Line: Let others boast how strong they be Lyrics: 1 Let others boast how strong they be, Nor Death nor Danger fear; But we'll confess, O Lord, to thee, What feeble Things we are. 2 Fresh as the Grass our Bodies stand, And flourish bright and gay; A blasting Wind sweeps o'er the Land, And fades the Grass away. 3 Our Life contains a thousand Springs, And dies if one be gone; Strange! that a Harp of thousand Strings Should keep in Tune so long! 4 But 'tis our God supports our Frame, The God that built us first: Salvation to th' Almighty Name That rear'd us from the Dust. [5 He spoke, and strait our Hearts and Brains In all their Motions rose, Let Blood, said he, flow round the Veins, And round the Veins it flows. 6 While we have Breath, or use our Tongues, Our Maker we'll adore: His Spirit moves our heaving Lungs, Or they would breathe no more.] Languages: English

My God I am thine

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLXXXIV (1791) Topics: Faith and Obedience Lyrics: 1 My God I am thine; 'Tis Comfort Divine, To know that the Sav'our of Sinners is mine. 2 In the heav'nly Lamb Thrice happy I am.
