Weak believers encouraged

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXXIV (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Faith First Line: Your harps, ye trembling saints Lyrics: 1 Your harps, ye trembling saints, Down from the willows take; Loud to the praise of Christ our Lord, Bid every string awake. 2 Tho' in a foreign land, We are not far from home; And nearer to our house above, We every moment come. 3 His grace will to the end Stronger and brighter shine; Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench the spark divine. 4 The time of love will come, When we shall clearly see Not only that he shed his blood, But each shall say, for me. 5 Tarry his leisure then, Wait the appointed hour; Wait till the bridegroom of your souls Reveal his love with power. 6 Blest is the man, O God, That stays himself on thee! Who waits for thy salvation, Lord, Shall thy salvation see. Languages: English

God shining into the heart

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXLIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Knowledge First Line: Praise to the Lord of the boundless might Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Lord of boundless might, With uncreated glories bright! His presence gilds the worlds above; The unchanging source of light and love. 2 Our rising earth his eye beheld, When in substantial darkness veil'd; The shapeless Chaos, nature's womb, Lay buried in the horrid gloom. 3 "Let there be light," Jehovah said; And light o'er all the earth was spread: Nature array'd in charms unknown, Gay with its new-born lustre shone. 4 He sees the mind, when lost it lies In shades of ignorance and vice, And darts from heaven a vivid ray, And changes midnight into day. 5 Shine, mighty God, with vigor shine On this benighted heart of mine; And let thy glories stand reveal'd, As in the savior's face beheld. 6 My soul, reviv'd by heav'n-born day, Thy radiant image shall display, While all my faculties unite To praise the Lord, who gives me light. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:6 Languages: English

As sanctified to noblest ends, Be each refreshment sought; And by each various providence, Some wise instruction brought! 5 When to laborious duties call'd Or by temptations try'd, We'll seek the shelter of thy wings, And in thy strength confide. 6 As different scenes of life arise, Our grateful hearts would be With thee, amidst the social band, In solitude with thee. 7 At night we lean our weary heads On thy paternal breast; And, safely folded in thine arms, Resign our powers to rest. 8 In solid pure delights, like these, Let all my days be past; Nor shall I then impatient wish, Nor shall I fear the last. Scripture: Proverbs 23:17 Languages: English

Justice and equity

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXLII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Justice First Line: Blessed redeemer how divine Lyrics: 1 Blessed redeemer how divine, How righteous is this rule of thine, "Never to deal with others worse "Than we would have them deal with us!" 2 This golden lesson, short and plain, Gives nor the mind nor memory pain: And every conscience must approve This universal law of love. 3 'Tis written in each mortal breast, Where all our tenderest wishes rest: We draw it from our inmost veins, Where love to self resides and reigns. 4 Is reason ever at a loss? Call in self-love to judge the cause: Let our own fondest passions shew How we should treat our neighbor too. 5 How bless'd would every nation prove, Thus rul'd by equity and love! All would be friends without a foe, And form a paradise below. 6 Jesus, forgive us, that we keep Thy sacred law of love asleep; And take our envy, wrath, and pride, Those savage passions, for our guide.

Faith reviving

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXXI (1792) Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Faith First Line: From whence this fear and unbelief Lyrics: 1 From whence this fear and unbelief? Hast thou, O father, put to grief Thy spotless son for me? And will the righteous judge of men, Condemn me for that debt of sin, Which Lord, was charg'd on thee? 2 Complete atonement thou hast made, And to the utmost farthing paid Whate'er thy people ow'd; How then can wrath on me take place, If shelter'd in thy righteousness And sprinkled with thy blood? 3 [If thou hast my discharge procur'd, And freely in my room endur'd The whole of wrath divine; Payment, God cannot twice demand— First, at my bleeding surety's hand, And then again at mine.] 4 Turn then, my soul, unto thy rest; The merits of thy great high-priest Speak peace and liberty: Trust in his efficacious blood; Nor fear thy banishment from God, Since Jesus dy'd for thee.
