When shall my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? 2 O happy harbor of God's saints! O sweet and pleasant soil! In thee no sorrow can be found, Nor grief, nor care, nor toil. 3 No murky cloud o'er shadows thee, Nor gloom, nor darksome night; But every soul shines as the sun; For God Himself give light. 4 O sweet home, Jerusalem, Thy joys when shall I see? The King that sitteth on thy throne In his felicity? 5 Thy gardens and thy goodly walks Continually are green, Where grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. 6 Right through thy streets, with silver sound, The living waters flow, And on the banks, on either side The trees of life doth grow. 7 Those trees for evermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring: There evermore the angels sit And evermore do sing. 8 Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in Thee! Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MATERNA

For a time of general Sickness

Complaint of a general Corruption of Manners; or, The Promise and Signs of CHRIST's coming to Judgment

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #21 (1740) Topics: Corruption of Manners general First Line: Help, Lord, for Men of Virtue fail Lyrics: 1 Help, Lord, for Men of Virtue fail, Religion loses Ground; The Sons of Violence prevail, And Treacheries abound. 2 Their Oaths and Promises they break, Yet act the Flatterer's Part; With fair, deceitful Lips they speak, And with a double Heart. 3 If we reprove some hateful Lye, How is their fury stirr'd? "Are not our Lips our own," they cry, "And who shall be our Lord?" 4 Scoffers appear on every Side, Where a vile Race of Men Is rais'd to Seats of Pow'r and Pride, And bears the Sword in vain. Pause. 5 Lord, when Iniquities abound, And Blasphemy grows bold, When Faith is hardly to be found, And Love is waxen cold; 6 Is not thy Chariot hast'ning on; Hast thou not giv'n this Sign; May we not trust and live upon A Promise so divine? 7 "Yes, saith the Lord, now will I rise, "And make Oppressors flee; "I shall appear to their Surprize, "And set my Servants free. 8 Thy Word, like Silver seven Times try'd, Thro' Ages shall endure; Then Men that in thy Truth confide Shall find the Promise sure.
