To thee, O God! we homage pay

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #109 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1 To thee, O God! we homage pay, Source of the light that rules the day! Who, while he gilds all nature's frame, Reflects thy rays, and speaks thy name. 2 In louder strains we sing that grace, Which gives the sun of righteousness, Whose nobler light salvation brings, And scatters healing from his wings. 3 Stillon our hearts may Jesus shine With beams of light and love divine! Quicken'd by him, our souls shall live, And, cheer'd by him, shall grow and thrive. 4 O may his glories stand confess'd, From north to south, from east to west; Successful may his gospel run, Wide as the circuit of the sun. 5 When shall that radiant scene arise, When, fix'd on high, in purer skies, Christ all his lustre shall display On all his saints through endless day!

We sing the wise, the gracious plan

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #116 (1814) Meter: Irregular Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1 We sing the wise, the gracious plan, Which God devis'd ere time began, At length disclos'd in all its light; We bless the wondrous birth of love, Which beams around us from above, With grace so free and hope so bright. 2 Here has the wise eternal mind In Christ, their common head, conjoin'd Gentiles and Jews, and earth and heaven. Through him from the great Father's throne, Rivers of bliss come rolling down, And endless peace and life are giv'n. 3 No more the awful cherubs guard The tree of life with flaming sword, To drive afar man's trembling race. At Salem's pearly gates they stand, And smiling wait, a friendly band, To welcome strangers to the place. 4 While we expect that glorious sight, Love shall our hearts with theirs unite, And ardent hope our bosoms raise. From earth's low cottages of clay, To those resplendent realms of day. We'll try to send the sounding praise. Languages: English

'Tis music to our ears; A sov'reign balm for ev'ry wound, A cordial for our fears. 2 Buried in sorrow and in sin, And at hell’s dark door we lay: But we arise by grace divine To see a heav'nly day. 3 Salvation! let the echo fly The spacious earth around; While all the armies of the sky Conspire to raise the sound! CHORUS: Glory, honour, praise, and power, Be unto the Lamb forever! Jesus Christ is our Redeemer! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! Languages: English

Now begin the heav'nly theme

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #121 (1814) Meter: Irregular Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1 Now begin the heav'nly theme, Sing aloud in Jesus' name! Ye who his salvation prove, Triumph in redeeming love. 2 Ye, who see the Father's grace Beaming in the Saviour's face As to heav'n ye onward move, Triumph in redeeming love. 3 Mourning souls! dry up your tears; Banish all your guilty fears. See your guilt and care remove, Cancell'd by redeeming love. 4 Ye, alas! who long have been Willing slaves of death and sin! Now from bliss no longer rove; Stop, and taste redeeming love. 5 Christ subdued th' infernal pow'rs; His tremendous foes, and our's, From their cursed empire drove, Mighty in redeeming love. 6 Hither, then, your music bring; Strike aloud each joyful string. Mortals! join the hosts above, Join to praise redeeming love. Languages: English

Immortal God! on thee we call

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #105 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1 Immortal God! on thee we call, The great original of all. From thee we are, to thee we tend, Our sure support, our glorious end. 2 We praise that wise, that wondrous grace, That pitied our revolted race, And Jesus, our victorious head, The captain of salvation made. 3 He, thine eternal love decreed, Should many sons to glory lead: And sinful worms to him are giv'n, A colony to people heav'n. 4 Jesus for us (O gracious name!) Encounter'd agony and shame; Jesus, the glorious and the great, Was by dire surf'rings made complete. 5 A scene of wonders here we see, Worthy thy Son, and worthy thee; And, while this theme employs our tongues, All heav'n unites its sweetest songs.

The eternal Sov'reign from on high

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #106 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1 Th' eternal Sov'reign from on high Cast on the sons of men his eye, To see, if any understood, And fear'd, and lov'd their Maker, God. 2 But all were so degen'rate grown, None the true God had fully known; Both Jew and Gentile long had been By lust enslav'd, and dead in sin. 3 Both gone from wisdom's path astray, Pursu'd the errors of their way, With dismal superstition blind; And causeless terrors fill'd their mind. 4 Who, gracious God! to sinners' eyes could bid the wish'd salvation rise? Thy Son did light and truth display, And turn their darkness into day. 5 No flesh shall boast of righteousness, But guilty shall themselves confess; And, when they heart thy pard'ning voice, In thy salvation shall rejoice.

Behold the blind their sight receive!

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #107 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1 Behold, the blind their sight receive! Behold, the dead awake and live! The dumb speak wonders, and the lame Leap like the hart, and bless his name. 2 Thus doth th' eternal Spirit own And seal the mission of the Son; The Father vindicates His cause, While he hangs bleeding on the cross. 3 He dies; the heav'n's in mourning stood; He rises, and appears a God. Behold the Lord ascending high, No more to bleed, no more to die. 4 Hence, and for ever, from my heart I bid my doubts and fears depart; And to those hands my soul resign, Which bear credentials so divine.

Thou, Lord, by mortal eyes unseen

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #110 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, by mortal eyes unseen, And by thy offspring here unknown, to manifest thyself to men, Hast set thine image in thy Son. 2 As the bright sun's meridian blaze O'erwhelms and pains our feeble sight, But cheers us with his softer rays, When shining with reflected light; 3 So, in thy Son, thy pow'r divine, Thy wisdom, justice, truth and love, With mild and pleasing lustre shine Reflected from thy throne above. 4 Though Jews, who granted not his claim, Contemptuous who turn'd away their face; Yet those, who trusted in his name, Beheld in him thy truth and grace. 5 O thou! at whose almighty word Fair light at first from darkness shone, Teach us to know our glorious Lord, And trace the Father in the Son. 6 While we thine image, here display'd, With love and admiration view; Form us in likeness to our head, That we may bear thy image too.

How beauteous are their feet

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #111 (1814) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues And words of peace reveal! 2 How welcome is their voice, How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes That see this heav'nly light! Prophets and saints desir'd it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, Their tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in hymns And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare his arm Thro' all the earth abroad: let ev'ry nation now behold Their Saviour and their God.
