A general Invitation to praise God
Hymnal: The Christian's Duty #CCCLVIII (1801) Topics: Praise to the Redeemer First Line: Ye boundless Realms of Joy Lyrics: 1 Ye boundless Realms of Joy,
Exalt your Maker's Fame;
His Praise your Song employ
Above the starry Frame:
Your Voices raise,
Ye Cherubim
And Seraphim,
To Sing his Praise.
2 Thou Moon, that rul'st the Night,
And Sun, that guid'st the Day,
Ye glitt'ring Stars of Light,
To him your Homage pay.
His Praise declare,
Ye Heav'ns above,
And Clouds that move
In liquid Air.
3 Let them adore the Lord,
And praise his holy Name,
By whose almighty Word
They all from nothing came,
And all shall last
From Changes free;
His firm Decree
Stands ever fast.
4 United Zeal be shown,
His wond'rous Fame to raise;
Whose glorious Name alone
Deserves our endless Praise,
Earth's utmost Ends
His Pow'r obey;
His glorious Sway
The Sky transcends.
5 His chosen Saints to Grace,
He sets them up on high,
And favour's Israel's Race,
Who still to him are nigh,
O therefore raise
Your grateful Voice,
And still rejoice
The Lord to praise. Languages: English
A general Invitation to praise God
Plung'd in a gulph of dark Despair
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LXXIX (1766) Topics: Praise to the Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Plung'd in a Gulph of dark Despair,
We wretched Sinners lay,
Without one chearful Beam of Hope,
Or Spark of glimm'ring Day.
2 With pitying Eyes the Prince of Grace
Beheld our helpless Grief,
He saw, and (O amazing Love!)
He ran to our Relief.
3 Down from the shining Seats above
With joyful Haste he fled,
Enter'd the Grave in mortal Flesh,
And dwelt among the Dead.
4 He spoil'd the Pow'rs of Darkness thus,
And brake our Iron Chains;
Jesus hath freed our Captive Souls
From everlasting Pains.
[5 In vain the baffled Prince of Hell
His cursed Projects tries,
We, that were doom'd his endless Slaves,
Are rais'd above the Skies.]
6 O for this Love let Rocks and Hills
Their lasting Silence break;
And all harmonious human Tongues
The Saviour's Praises speak.
7 Yes, we will praise Thee, dearest Lord,
Our Souls are all on Flame;
Hosanna round the spacious Earth
To thine adored Name.
8 Angels assist our mighty Joys,
Strike all your Harps of Gold;
But when you raise your highest Notes,
His Love can ne'er be told. Languages: English

Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #349 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Praise to the Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair
We wretched sinners lay,
Without one cheerful beam of hope,
Or spark of glimmering day.
2 With pitying eyes, the Prince of Grace
Beheld our helpless grief,
He saw, and (O amazing love!)
He ran to our relief.
3 Down from the shining seats above
With joyful haste he fled,
Enter'd the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.
4 He spoil'd the powers of darkness thus,
And brake our iron chains;
Jesus has freed our captive souls
From everlasting pains.
5 In vain the baffled prince of hell
His cursed projects tries,
We that were doom'd his endless slaves
Are rais'd above the skies.
6 O for this love, let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
The Saviour's praises speak.
7 Angels, assist our mighty joys,
Strike all your harps of gold;
But when you raise your highest notes
His love can ne'er be told.
Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair

All glorious God, what hymns of praise
Hymnal: The Book of Worship #101 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God the Son Praise to the Redeemer Lyrics: 1 All glorious God, what hymns of praise
Shall our transported voices raise!
What ardent love and zeal are due,
While heaven stands open to our view!
2 Once we were fallen, and oh how low!
Just on the brink of endless woe:
When Jesus, from the realms above.
Borne on the wings of boundless love,
3 Scattered the shades of death and night,
And spread around His heavenly light:
By Him what wondrous grace is shown
To souls impoverished and undone!
4 He shows, beyond these mortal shores,
A bright inheritance as ours;
Where saints in light our coming wait,
To share their holy, happy state. Languages: English

With songs of sacred praise;
For He is good, immensely good,
And kind are all His ways.

In Him we live and move:
But nobler benefits declare
The wonders of His love.

To ransom rebel worms;
'Tis here He makes His goodness known
In its diviner forms.
4 To this dear refuge, Lord, we come;
On this our hope relies;
A save defense, a peaceful home,
When storms of trouble rise.
5 Thine eye beholds, with kind regard,
The souls who trust in Thee;
Their humble hope Thou wilt reward,
With bliss divinely free.
6 Great God, to Thine almighty love
What honors shall we raise!
Not all the raptured songs above
Can render equal praise. Languages: English

With Angels round the Throne;
Ten Thousand Thousand are their Tongues,
But all their Joys are One.

"To be exalted thus:"
Worthy the Lamb," our Lips reply,
For he was slain for us.

Honour and Pow'r Divine;
And blessings more than we can give,
Be, Lord, for ever thine.

And Air, and Earth, and Seas,
Conspire to lift thy Glories High,
And speak thine endless Praise.

To bless the sacred Name
Of Him that sits upon the Throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXIII (1791) Topics: Praise to the Redeemer First Line: O come let us join Lyrics: 1 O come let us join,
Together combine;
To praise our dear Sav'our, our Master Divine.
2 Him let us adore,
Who cover'd with Gore,
Late hanged on Calv'ry, both wounded and poor.

By Spirits at Rest;
Who once in this Desert his Godhead confess'd,
4 The Heavenly Spheres,
Who saw him in Tears,
Yea ev'ry strong Angel, his Person reveres.
5 The Prophets who told
His Suff'rings of old,
Sing now sweet Thanksgiving on Psalt'ries of Gold.
6 The Fathers to whom
He shew'd he would come,
Now in his Pavilion take up their long Home.
7 The Spirits of Men,
Who for him were slain,
From Able the Righteous, share now in his Reign.
8 Th' apostles who stood,
Resisting to Blood,
For Jesus's Gospel, rejoice in their God.
9 The Confessor's too,
Them prostrating low,
Cast down their bright Mitres, and thankfully bow.
10 Oh Church of the Lamb,
Here met do the same,
With Saints, and with Angels, bless Jesus's Name.
11 My Soul bear a Part,
For ransom'd thou art,
By Jesu's Blood shedding, his Burial, and Smart.
12 To him that was slain,
The scorn'd Nazarene,
Be Glory, and Honour, let all say Amen. Languages: English
Adoring Jesus
