Sweet fields array'd in living green, And rivers of delight. 3 There generous fruits, that never fail, On trees immortal grow; There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales With milk and honey flow. 4 All o'er those wide-extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Son forever reigns, And scatters night away. 5 No chilling winds or pois'nous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and fear'd no more. 6 When I shall reach that happy place, And be forever blest? When I shall see my Father's face, And in His bosom rest? 7 Fill'd with delight, my raptured soul Would here no longer stay; Though Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.

This faith shall eternally fail When Jesus shall fall from his throne; For hell against both must prevail, Since Jesus and he are but one. 3 The faith that lays hold on the Lamb, And brings such salvation as this, Is more than mere notion or name; The work of God’s Spirit it is; A principle active and young, That lives under pressure and load; That makes out of weakness more strong, And draws the soul upwards to God. 4 [It treads on the world and on hell; It vanquishes death and despair; And, what is still stranger to tell, It overcomes heaven by prayer; Permits a vile worm of the dust With God to commune as a friend; To hope his forgiveness is just, And look for his love to the end.] 5 [It says to the mountains, “Depart,” That stand betwixt God and the soul; It binds up the broken in heart, And makes their sore consciences whole; Bids sins of a crimson-like dye Be spotless as snow, and as white; And makes such a sinner as I As pure as an angel of light.] Languages: English

(Gadsby's Hymns) #237a (1844) Meter: 8.7 Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Repentance First Line: Let us ask the important question Lyrics: 1 Let us ask the important question, (Brethren, be not too secure), What it is to be a Christian, How we may our hearts assure. Vain is all our best devotion, If on false foundations built; True religion’s more than notion; Something must be known and felt. 2 [’Tis to trust our Well-belovèd In his blood has washed us clean; ’Tis to hope our guilt’s removèd, Though we feel it rise within; To believe that all is finished, Though so much remains to endure; Find the dangers undiminished, Yet to hold deliverance sure.] 3 [’Tis to credit contradictions; Talk with him one never sees; Cry and groan beneath afflictions, Yet to dread the thoughts of ease. ’Tis to feel the fight against us, Yet the victory hope to gain; To believe that Christ has cleansed us, Though the leprosy remain.] 4 [’Tis to hear the Holy Spirit Prompting us to secret prayer; To rejoice in Jesus’ merit, Yet continual sorrow bear; To receive a full remission Of our sins for evermore, Yet to sigh with sore contrition, Begging mercy every hour.] 5 To be steadfast in believing, Yet to tremble, fear and quake; Every moment be receiving Strength, and yet be always weak; To be fighting, fleeing, turning; Ever sinking, yet to swim; To converse with Jesus, mourning For ourselves or else for him.

Then cry we to heaven, with one loud accord, That to us be given the fear of the Lord. Languages: English

To thy sovereign pleasure resigned I would be, And tarry at leisure, and hope still in thee. Scripture: Lamentations 3:25 Languages: English

Then you are free indeed; Ye sons of liberty, Ye chosen royal seed, Walk worthy of your Lord, and view Your glorious Head, in all you do. 3 Shall sons of heavenly birth Their dignity debase? Unite with sons of earth, And take a servant’s place? The slaves to sin and Satan too? Forget to keep their Lord in view? 4 Forbid it, mighty God! Preserve us in thy fear; Uphold with staff and rod, And guard from every snare; Teach us to walk with Christ in view, And honour him in all we do. 5 Increase our faith and love, And make us watch and pray; O fix our souls above, Nor let us ever stray; Dear Lord, do thou our strength renew, And lead us on with Christ in view.
