Longing after Christ
Mourning, and drooping, here I lie
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLXXXI (1791) Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 Mourning, and drooping, here I lie
Upon this earthly Clod,
While heav'nly Things invite my Eye,
And bring me to my GOD.
2 Transported with a glorious View
Of God's eternal Love,
Unto this World I bid adieu,
And long to be Above.
3 There all the Saints in Harmony
Do stand forevermore,
And to a vast Eternity
Their glorious Lord adore,
4 Hark! Hark! Methinks I hear the Sound;
Methinks the Angels sing;
The glorious Melody goes round,
Which makes the Heav'ns to ring.
5 The Saints above do sing a Song
(In a melodious Strain)
Which doth to God alone belong,
And to the Lamb once slain.
6 Wonder, and Love, and Joy, and Praise,
Fill all their happy Souls,
While the vast Flood of sov'reign Grace
Through all the Region rolls.
7 The Saints all cloth'd in white Array,
Their Saviour's Praise declare;
Through the bright Realms of endless Day
There's not one Mourner there.
8 But oh, the Glory of the Place,
No Mortal Tongue can tell!
Where they behold their Saviour's Face,
And in his Presence dwell.
9 Oh, how they each perform their Parts,
Thro' all the happy Train!
This glorious Song inspires their Hearts,
Worthy the Lamb, once slain!
10 Amen, they cry, Amen, Amen,
Thy Ways oh God are true;
Blessing and Glory, Wisdom, and
Thanksgiving is thy Due.
11 Honour, and Pow'r and endless Might,
Be giv'n to Thee, oh Lord!
In this sweet Song thy all unite,
And sing with One Accord.
12 Oh, how the bending Seraphs join
To praise the God Above!
While all the Saints, in Notes Divine,
Do sing redeeming Love.
13 Worthy, oh Lord, worthy art thou;
To wear the glorious Crown;
So all the Saints in glory bow,
And cast their Di'dems down.
14 The Song eternally goes round,
To him that made the Sky,
I'm lost, I'm lost, to view the Bound
Of vast Eternity.
15 When there have past more Million Years
Than Sands upon the Shore;
The Saints above will have not Fears
That the blest Space is o'er,
16 If all the Drops of Oceans wide
Were to be number'd o'er,
And then by Millions multiply'd,
And twice as many more;
17 And then as many Years should pass
As Water Drops in all;
Or Grains of Sand, or Spires of Grass,
Upon this earthly Ball.
18 Then add as many millions more
As Stars that fill the Sky;
Then all that Number doubled o'er
Can't mete Eternity.
19 Eternity will still remain;
'Twill be Eternity.
The Song to God the THREE IN ONE
Will last eternally.
20 Who can describe the Blessedness
Of Pleasure ever new?
I long the Glory to possess,
And bid all Sin adieu.
21 Farewell my Friends, I long to go;
Adieu Death, Sorrow, pain,
Adieu to Fears, Adieu to woe;
And Welcome endless Gain.
22 Oh, how my Soul doth long to quit
This Earth, and Soar away!
Oh Jesus, if it is most fit,
Let not thy Chariot stay.
23 Come take my longing Spirit up,
To dwell with Thee above;
I long with Thee, my Lord to sup,
On everlasting Love.
24 The Time seems long till Thou dost bring
My Soul unto that Place,
Where I thy Praise shall ever sing,
And rest in thine Embrace.

Longing for the Hose of God
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLXVIII (1791) Topics: Longing after Christ First Line: Lord of the Worlds above Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The Dwellings of thy Love,
Thy earthly Temples are!
To thine Abode
My Heart aspires,
With warm Desires
To see my GOD.
2 The Sparrow for her Young
With Pleasure seeks a Nest,
And wand'ring Swallows long
To find their wonted Rest:
My Spirit faints
With equal Zeal
To rise and dwell
Among thy Saints.
3 O happy Souls that pray
Where GOD appoints to hear!
O happy Men that pay
Their constant Service there!
They praise Thee still;
And happy they
That love the Way
To Zion's Hill!
4 They go from Strength to Strength,
Thro' this dark Vale of Tears,
Till each arrives at length,
Till each in Heav'n appears:
O glorious Seat,
When GOD our King
Shall thither bring
Our willing Feet!
Scripture: Psalm 84
Longing for the Hose of God
Alas my God that thou should be
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #III (1791) Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God, that thou should be
To me so much unknown!
I long to walk and talk with Thee,
And dwell before thy Throne.
2 Thou know'st, my Soul doth dearly love
The Place of thine Abode;
No Music gives so sweet a sound,
As these two Words, My God.
3 I long not for the Fruit that grows
Within these Gardens here;
I find no Sweetness in their Rose
When Jesus is not near.
4 Thy gracious Presence, O my Christ,
Can make a Paradise;
Ah, what are all the goodly Pearls,
Unto this Pearl of Price?
5 Give me that sweet Communion, Lord,
Thy people have with thee;
Thy Spirit daily talks with Them,
O let it talk with me.
6 Like Enoch let me walk with God,
And thus walk out my Day,
Attended with the heav'nly Guards,
Upon the Kings High Way.
7 When wilt thou come unto me, Lord?
O come, my Lord, most dear;
Come near, come nearer nearer still;
I'm well when thou art near.
8 When wilt thou come unto me, Lord?
I languish for thy Sight;
Ten thousand Suns, if thou art strange,
Are Shades instead of Light.
9 When wilt thou come unto me Lord?
for till thou dost appear,
I count each Moment for a Day,
Each Minute for a Year.
10 Come, Lord, and never from me go,
This World's a darksom Place;
I find no Pleasure here below,
When thou dost veil thy Face.
11 There's no such Thing as Pleasure here,
My Jesus is my all;
As thou dost shine, or disappear,
My pleasures rise and fall.
12 Come, spread thy Savour on my Frame,
No Sweetness is so sweet;
Till I get up to sing thy Name,
Where all thy Singers meet. Languages: English

Safe into the Haven guide,
Oh, receive my Soul at last!

Hangs my helpless Soul on thee,
Leave, ah! leave me not alone,
Still support and Comfort me;
All my Trust on thee is stay'd,
All my Help from thee I bring,

With the Shadow of thy Wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
More than all in thee I find;
Raise the Fallen, chear the Faint,
Heal the Sick, and lead the Blind.
Just and Holy is thy Name,

Grace to Pardon all my Sin;
Let the healing Streams abound;
Make and keep me pure within;
Thou of Life the Fountain art,
Freely let me take of thee;
Spring thou up within my Heart,
Rise to all Eternity. Languages: English

The one thing needful, that good Part
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCLXXXII (1791) Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 The one thing needful, that good Part,
Which Mary chose with all her Heart,
I would pursue with Heart and Mind,
And seek unweary'd till I find.
2 But, oh! I'm blind and Ignorant,
The Spirit of the Lord I want;
To guide me in the narrow Road,
That leads to Happiness and God.
3 O Lord, my God, to Thee I pray,
Teach me to know, and find the Way
How I may have my Sins forgiv'n,
And safe, and surely get to Heav'n.
4 My Mind enlighten with thy Light,
That I may understand aright
The glorious Gospel Mystery,
Which shews the Way to Heav'n and Thee.
5 Hidden in Christ the Treasure lies,
That goodly Pearl of so great Price;
No other Way but Christ, there is
To endless Happiness and Bliss.

Who hast redeem'd me by thy Blood;
Unite my Heart so fast to Thee,

Oh, that I had a Bosom Friend
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCV (1791) Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 Oh, that I had a Bosom Friend,
To tell my Secrets to!
On whose Advice I might depend,
In ev'ry Thing I do.
2 How do I wander up and down,
And no one Pities me;
I seem a Stranger quite unknown,
A Son of Misery.
3 None lends an Ear to my Complaint,
Nor minds my Cries and Tears;
None comes to help me, though I faint,
Nor my vast Burthen bears.
4 While others live in Mirth and Ease
And feel no Want or Woe;
Through this dark, howling Wilderness,
I full of Sorrow go.
5 Oh! faithless Soul to Reason thus,
And Murmur without End;
Did Christ expire upon the Cross?
And is not he thy Friend?
6 Why dost thou envy carnal Men!
And think their State so blest?
How great Salvation hast thou seen?
And Jesus is thy Rest.
7 What can this lower World afford,
Compar'd with Gospel Grace,
Thy Happiness is in the Lord,
And thou shalt see his Face.
8 Can present Grief be counted great,
Compar'd with future Woes?
Will transient Pleasures seem so sweet
Compar'd with endless Joys?
9 How soon will God withdraw the Scene,
And burn the World he made!
Then Woe to carnal careless Men;
My Soul lift up thy Head.
10 The Saviour is thy real Friend,
Constant, and true. and good:
He will be with thee to the End,
And bring thee safe to God.
11 Why O my Soul, art thou so sad?
When will thy Sighs be o'er?
Rejoice in Jesus, and be glad,
Rejoice for Evermore. Languages: English

Gladly would I now be clean:
Cleanse me now from ev'ry Sin.
3 Fix, Oh! fix my wav'ring Mind;

Earthly Passions far remove:

He with Joy beholds thy Face,
Triumphs in thy pard'ning Grace.

Rising from the slaughter'd Lamb;

All our Heart dissoves in Love.

Love unspeakable are thine!
Praise by all to thee be giv'n
Sons of Earth, and Hosts of Heav'n.

Jesus, the only Thought of thee
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXXXVIII (1791) Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the only Thought of thee
With Sweetness fills my Breast;
But sweeter far it is to see,
And in thy Beauty feast.
2 No Sound, no Harmony so gay,
Can Art of Music frame;
No Thoughts can reach, no Words can say
The Sweets of thy blest Name.
3 Jesus our Hope, when we repent,
Sweet Source of all our Grace;
Sole Comfort in our Banishment,
O! what, when Face to Face!
4 Jesus! that Name inspires my Mind
With Springs of Life and Light;
More then I ask in thee I find,
And lavish in Delight.
5 No Art, no eloquence of Man,
Can tell the joys of Love;
Only Saints can understand
What they in Jesus prove.
6 Thee then I'll seek retir'd apart,
From world and Business free;
When these shall knock, I'll shut my Heart,
And keep it all for thee.
7 Before the Morning Light I'll come,
With Magdalene to find
In Sighs and Tears, my Jesu's tomb,
And there refresh my Mind.
8 My Tears upon his Grave shall flow,
My Sighs the Garden fill;
Then at his Feet my self I'll throw,
And there I'll seek his Will.
9 Jesus, in thy bless'd Steps I'll tread,
And walk in all thy Ways;
I'll never cease to weep and plead,
Till I'm restor'd to Grace.
10 O King of Love, thy blessed Fire
Does such sweet Flames exite;
That first it raises our Desire,
Then fills us with Delight.
11 Thy lovely Presence shines so clear
Thro' every Sense and Way,
That Souls which once have seen thee near,
See all Things else decay.
12 Come then dear Lord, possess my Heart,
Chase thence the Shades of Night;
Come pierce it with thy flaming Dart,
And ever shining Light.
13 Then I'll for ever Jesus sing,
And with the Saints rejoice;
And both my Heart and Tongue shall bring
Their Tribute to my dearest King,
In never-ending Joys. Amen.

Force me, Lord, with all to part,
Tear all Idols from my Heart;
Let thy Pow'r on me be shown,
Take away the Heart of Stone.
3 Jesu, mighty to renew,
Work in me, to will and do;
Turn my Nature's rapid Tide,
Stem the Torrent of my Pride,
Stop the Whirlwind of my will,
Bid Corruptions, Lord, be still;
Now thy Love Almighty shew,
Make e'en me a Creature new.
4 Arm of God, thy Strength put on,
Bow the Heavens, and come down;
All mine Unbelief o'erthrow,
Lay th' aspiring Mountain low;
Conquer thy worst Foe in me.
Get thyself the Victory,
Save the vilest of the Race,
Force me to be sav'd by Grace.

and bow before his face.

he has not turned from those who mourn,
he listens to their cries.
His goodness makes me join the throng
where saints his praise proclaim,
and there will I fulfill my vows
with those who fear his name.
3 He feeds with good the humble soul
and satisfies the meek,
and they shall live and praise the Lord
who for his mercy seek.

Still let me know Thou art with me;

At home be ever at my side.

Thy rod I take with willing mind,
But suffer naught my heart to harden,
And let me now Thy mercy find;
In Thee alone, my God, I live,
Thou only canst my sins forgive.

Thy grace so fill my every thought,
That all my life be pure and lowly
And truthful as a Christian's ought;
So make me, while yet dwelling here,
Faithful and blest from year to year.

Jesus, my plans and hopes inspire;
Jesus, from tempting thoughts protect me;
Jesus, be all my heart's desire;
Jesus, be in my thoughts all day,
Nor suffer me to fall away.
6 Grant, Lord, that when the year is over,
That it for me in peace it close;
In all things care for me, and cover
My head in time of fear and woes;
So may I, when my years are gone,
Appear with joy before Thy throne.

Endnu engang
Fra disse Jordens Dale.
Vor Herre Krist han henter mig
Smart hjem til sig
I Himlens høie Sale.
Som Lynet far,
Han kommer snar,
Da skal hans Pris
Paa anden Vis
De Guds Basuner tale.
2 Naar min Forløsning stunder til,
Jeg glædes vil
Og løfter of mit Hoved,
Da løses jeg, da gaar jeg ind
Til Vennen min,
Gud være evig lovet!
Da reises af
Den mørke Grav
Det, som var saa'd
Med Suk og Graad,
Da er den Søvn udsovet.
3 Naar Figentræet skyder Blad,
Jeg er saa glad,
Da bliver her snart Sommer,
Naar Himmerigets Blomster gro,
Det er min Tro,
Guds Rige snarlig kommer!
Hans Brud jet er,
Hans Ring jeg bær,
Har Lampen tændt,
Og Hjertet vendt
Til ham, al Verdens Dommer.
4 Jeg hører hans livsalig Røst
Guds Børn til Trøst
Fra høien Himmel tone:
Jeg kommer, se jeg kommer snart,
Hold du kun hart,
At ingen ta'r din Krone!
Min Brud, dig glæd,
Min Løn er med:
Dig, som var tro,
En evig Ro
Og Glæde for Guds Throne!
5 I Aanden glad da Bruden from
Hun siger: kom!
Saa hjertelig hun frydes;
Og hvo det hører siger: kom!
Lad Livsens Flom
Sødt over os udgydes!
Hvo lider Tørst,
Han komme først,
Hvo vil og kan,
Tag' Livsens Vand,
Som uforskyldt tilbydes!
6 En Himmel ny saavelsom Jord,
Det er hans Ord,
Da vorder til hans Ære.
Se, Guds Paulum blandt Menn'sken er,
Han bor os nær,
Og vi hans Folk skal være!
Lad Verden saa
I Stykker gaa,
Guds Ord ei brast,
De stande fast,
Den Bro skal Bruden bære!
7 Gud skal da tørre af mit Kind
Hver Taare min,
Ei Død skal være mere,
Ei heller Sorg, ei heller Skrig,
Ei Pine slig,
Som her Guds Børn maa bære;
Det første fort
Er veget bort,
Og Glæden ny
I Himlens By–
Eia, hvor godt at være!
8 Da synger jeg for Thronen glad
Et beder Kvad,
Og løfter Palmegrene,
Med hvide Klæder, som er to'd
I Lammets Blod
For Herrens Øine rene.
Halleluja! Eia, eia,
For liflig Klang!
Og al min Sang
Er Herren, Herren ene.
9 Amen, Vesignelse og Pris
Paa alle Vis,
Og Visdom, Magt og Styrke
Tilhører Gud i Evighed,
Som saa herned
Til os i Dødens Mørke!
Halleluja! Eia, eia!
I Himmerig
Der skal vi dig
I Aand og Sandhed dyrke.

Blandt de mange Verdens Ting,
Samle dine vilde Tanker,
Se dig oventil omkring!
Ak, hvad nytter
Kedars Hytter,
Pilegrim, hvor er dit Hjem?
Lad dit Øie
Agte nøie
Paa det ny Jerusalem!
2 Hele Verden gaar til Grunde
Af den lille Jordens Bold,
Af den store Himlens Runde
Bliver intet i Behold.
Agt i Tide,
Du kan vide,
Naar du selv af Verden gaar,
At du hisset
Er forvisset
Om den Stad, som evig staar!
3 Sig mig dog, hvad er vel dette
tabernakels jordisk' Hus?
Sig mig dog, tør nogen sætte
Lid paa smuldret Ler og Grus?
Dette ældes,
Dette fældes,
O, saa maa man dog herud!
Men en Bolig
Evig rolig
Er beredt for Lammets Brud.
4 Kast med Længsel Troens Øie
Op til hin den fagre Stad,
Agt paa Evighedens Høie!
Trods al Satans Harm og Had,
Er den fundet
Fast og grundet,
Murens Grundvold er saa rar,
Thi af rene
Ædelstene
Er den glimrende og klar.
5 Stadens Porte og dens Gade
er af Perler og af Guld,
Hør der ere alle glade,
Hør den Sang af Sødhed fuld!
Hør dem kvæde
I den Glæde,
Som er fri for Nag og Nød,
Fri for Plage,
Suk og Klage,
Fri for Graad og fri for Død!
6 Der er ingen Sol og Maane
Paa hin evig' Himmel sat,
Der er ingen Sky og Blaane,
Ingen Aften, mindre Nat.
Der maa være Glans og Ære,
Se, den hellig'
Gud er Sol!
Al Ting frydes,
Se, der skydes
Straaler ud fra Lammets Stol!
7 O min Sjæl, du gaar og vanker
Blandt de arme Verdens Ting.
Samle dine vilde Tanker,
Se dig oventil omkring!
Herre, led mig,
Og bered mig
Til din Himmel, til mit Hjem!
Gjør mig værdig,
Gjør mig færdig
Til det ny Jerusalem!
