Awake, and sing the song

Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LIII (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response Lyrics: 1 Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King When on the Cross the Saviour hung, His Grace a dying Thief did bring, To own him with his Heart and Tongue. 2 Our Malefactor scorn'd Christ's Name, The other did his Sin reprove; Then said by Faith to God's dear Lamb, "Remember me O Lord above." 3 What noble Faith in him appear'd, That he could trust a dying Lord! He soon the blessed Jesus heard pronounce this sweet reviving Word; 4 "Amen, this Day thy Soul shall be "With me in Paradise above." This made the dying Pris'ner free; These Words were full of boundless Love. 5 What Comfort did this Speech convey, To his poor guilty wretched Mind! When thus he heard the Saviour say, Great Peace the Criminal did find. 6 Thus Jesus Christ forgave the Thierf, And shew'd great Mercy to the Man; So in the midst of Woe and Grief, His Joy and Happiness began. 7 O how he sings the Saviour's Praise, Who took him at the very last, When he his youthful Strength and Days In Satan's Cause had spent and past! 8 Now he adores God's holy Name, And stands before the Saviours Face; And will eternally proclaim The boundless Riches of his Grace!

Invitation

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LVI (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response First Line: Come ye Sinners Poor and Wretched Lyrics: 1 Come ye Sinners Poor and Wretched, Weak and wounded sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of Pity, Love and Pow'r; He is able, He is willing; doubt no more. 2 Ho! ye Needy, come and welcome, God's Free-Bounty glorify, True belief and true Repentance, Ev'ry Grace that brings us nigh, Without Money, Come to Jesus Christ and buy. 3 Let not Conscience make you linger, Nor of Fitness fondly dream: All the Fitness he requireth, Is to feel you Need of him; This he gives you, 'Tis the Spirits glimm'ring Beam. 4 Come ye weary, heavy laden, Bruis'd and mangled by the Fall. If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all; Not the Righteous, Sinners Jesus came to call. 5 Agonizing in the Garden, Lo your Maker prostrate lies! On the bloody Tree behold him, Hear him cry before he dies, "It is finish'd," Sinner, will not this suffice? 6 Lo! th' incarnate God ascended, Pleads the Merit of his Blood; Venture on him, venture freely, Let no other Trust intrude: None but Jesus, Can do helpless Sinners good. 7 Saints and Angels, join'd in Concert, Sing the Praises of the Lamb, While the blissful Seats of Heaven, Sweetly Echo with his Name, Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same. Languages: English

I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXIX (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response Lyrics: 1 I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow In Faith, and Love, and ev'ry Grace; Might more of his Salvation know, And seek more earnestly his Face. 2 'Twas he who taught me thus to pray; And he, I trust, has answer'd Pray'r: But it has been in such a Way As almost drove me to Despair. 3 I hop'd that in some favour'd Hour, At once he'd grant me my Request; And, by his Love's constraining Pow'r, Subdue my Sins, and give me Rest. 4 Instead of this, he made me feel The hidden Evils of my Heart, And let the angry Pow'rs of Hell Assault my soul in ev'ry Part. 5 Yea more, with his own Hand he seem'd Intent to agravate my Woe; Cross'd all the fair Designs I schem'd, Blasted my Gourds, and laid me low. 6 LORD, why is this? I trembling cry'd; Wilt thou pursue thy worm to Death? 'Tis in this Way, the LORD reply'd, I answer Pray'r for Grace and Faith. 7 These inward Trials I employ From Self and Pride to set thee free, To break thy Schemes of worldly Joy, That thou may'st seek thy All in Me.

Know, ye that are of Adam's race

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXLVIII (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response Lyrics: 1 Know, ye that are of Adams Race, That God hath call'd you by his Grace; And has proclaim'd his Gospel loud, For to give Warning to the Proud, 2 Ye youthful Virgins stop, and pause, And think upon your Sav'ours Laws; Let not your Life which God has lent, Alone in Vanity be spent. 3 Awake to Thought! ye tender Souls, And think, alas! we are but Fools, To Spend our Time, which ends in Strife, And lose this glorious Scene of Life. 4 Your Life to God must be resign'd; Your Mind in Jesus be confin'd; For Word and Action must agree, If Jesus Christ shall set you free. 5 That Servant Form you must put on, And think that Christ's before me gone, He is the Way, the Truth, and Life, Therefore forsake this World of Strife.

Rise, my Soul, and stretch thy Wings

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXLVI (1791) Topics: liturgical Songs of Response Lyrics: 1 Rise, my Soul, and stretch thy Wings, Thy better Portion Trace; Rise from Transitory Things, Tow'rds Heav'n, thy native Place; Sun, and Moon, and Stars decay, Time shall soon this Earth remove; Rise, my Soul, and haste away To Seats prepar'd above. 2 Rivers to the Ocean run, Nor stay in all their Course; Fire ascending seeks the Sun, Both speed them to their Source; To a Soul that's born of GOD, Pants to view his glorious Face; Upward tends to his Abode, To rest in his Embrace. 3 Fly the Riches, fly me Cares; While I that Coast explore; Flattering World, with all thy Snares, Solicit me no more. Pilgrims fix not here their Home; Strangers tarry but a Night, When the last dear Morn is come, They'll rise to joyful Light. 4 Cease, ye Pilgrims, cease to mourn, Press onward to the Prize; Soon our Saviour will return, Triumphant in the Skies: Yet a Season, and you know Happy Entrance will be giv'n, All our Sorrows left below, And Earth exchang'd for Heav'n.
