How pleasant 'tis to see

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P133c (1766) Topics: Communion with Saints Lyrics: 1 How pleasant 'tis to see Kindred and Friends agree, Each in their proper Station move, And each fulfil their Part, With sympathizing Heart, In all the Cares of Life and Love! 2 'Tis like the Ointment shed On Aaron's sacred Head, Divinely rich, divinely sweet; The Oil through all the Room Diffus'd a choice Perfume, Ran through his Robes, and blest his Feet. 3 Like fruitful Showr's of Rain, That water all the Plain, Descending from the neighbouring Hills; Such Streams of Pleasure roll Through ev'ry friendly Soul, Where Love like heav'nly Dew distils.

The feast, though not the love, is past and gone: the bread and wine remove, but you are here, nearer than ever, still my shield and sun. 5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.

E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.II (1766) Topics: Communion with Christ and Saints Lyrics: 1 E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From Everlasting was the Word; With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. 2 By his own Pow'r were all Things made; By him supported all Things stand; He is the whole Creation's Head, And Angels fly at his Command. 3 E'er Sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the Host of Morning-Stars; (Thy Generation who can tell, Or count the Numbers of thy Years?) 4 But lo, he leaves those Heav'nly Forms, The Word descends and dwells in Clay, That he may hold Converse with Worms, Drest in such feeble Flesh as they. 5 Mortals with Joy beheld his Face, Th' Eternal Father's only Son; How full of Truth! how full of Grace! When thro' his Eyes the Godhead shone! 6 Arch-Angels leave their high Abode, To learn new Myst'ries here, and tell The Loves of our descending God, The Glories of EMANUEL. Scripture: John 1:1 Languages: English

Thou, whom my Soul admires above

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXVII (1766) Topics: Christ Communion with Him and Saints Lyrics: 1 Thou, whom my Soul admires above All earthly joy, and earthly Love, Tell me, dear Shepherd, let me know Where doth thy sweetest Pasture grow? 2 Where is the Shadow of that Rock, That from the Sun defends thy Flock? Fain would I feed among thy Sheep, Among them rest, among them sleep. 3 Why should thy Bride appear like one That turns aside to Paths unknown? My constant Feet would never rove, Would never seek another Love. [4 The Footsteps of thy Flock I see; Thy sweetest Pastures here they be; A wond'rous Feast thy Love prepares, Bought with thy Wounds, & Groans & Tears. 5 His dearest Flesh he makes my Food, And bids me drink his richest Blood: Here to these Hills my Soul will come, Till my Beloved lead me home.

When Strangers stand and hear me tell

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXXVI (1766) Topics: Christ Communion with Him and Saints Lyrics: 1 When Strangers stand and hear me tell What Beauties in my Saviour dwell; Where he is gone they fain would know, That they may seek and love him too. 2 My best Beloved keeps his Throne On Hills of Light, in Worlds unknown; But he descends, and shows his Face In the young Gardens of his Grace. [3 In Vineyards planted by his Hand, Where fruitful Trees in Order stand; He feeds among the spicy Beds, Where Lilies show their spotless Heads. 4 He has engross'd my warmest Love, No earthly Charms my Soul can move: I have a Mansion in his Heart, Nor Death nor Hell shall make us part.] 5 He takes my Soul e'er I'm aware, And shews me where his Glories are, No Chariot of Amminadab The heav'nly Rapture can describe. [6 O may my Spirit daily rise On Wings of Faith above the Skies, Till Eeath shall make my last Remove, To dwell for ever with my Love. Scripture: Song of Solomon 6:1-3 Languages: English
