Psalm 132
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.302 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ministers ordained First Line: No sleep nor slumber to his eyes Lyrics:
[No sleep nor slumber to his eyes
Good David would afford,
Till he had found below the skies
A dwelling for the Lord.
The Lord in Zion placed his name,
His ark was settled there;
To Zion the whole nation came
To worship thrice a year.
But we have no such lengths to go,
Nor wander far abroad;
Where'er thy saints assemble now,
There is a house for God.]
Arise, O King of grace, arise,
And enter to thy rest!
Lo! thy church waits with longing eyes
Thus to be owned and blessed.
Enter with all thy glorious train,
Thy Spirit and thy word;
All that the ark did once contain
Could no such grace afford.
Here, mighty God, accept our vows,
Here let thy praise be spread;
Bless the provisions of thy house,
And fill thy poor with bread.
Here let the Son of David reign,
Let God's Anointed shine;
Justice and truth his court maintain
With love and power divine.
Here let him hold a lasting throne;
And as his kingdom grows,
Fresh honors shall adorn his crown,
And shame confound his foes.

The Increase of the Messiah's Kingdom
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDXXX (1792) Topics: The Church Associations or General Meetings of Churches and Ministers First Line: All hail, incarnate God! Lyrics: 1 All hail, incarnate God!
The wond'rous things foretold
Of thee in sacred writ
With joy our eyes behold:
Still does thine arm new trophies wear,
And monuments of glory rear.
2 To thee the hoary head
Its silver honors pays;
To thee the blooming youth
Devotes his brightest days:
And every age their tribute bring,
And bow to thee all-conquering king.
3 O haste, victorious prince,
That happy glorious day,
When souls, like drops of dew,
Shall own thy gentle sway:
Oh may it bless our longing eyes,
And bear our shouts beyond the skies.
4 All hail, triumphant Lord,
Eternal be thy reign;
Behold the nations sue
To wear thy gentle chain:
When earth and time are known no more;
Thy throne shall stand for ever sure. Languages: English

Bless GOD, ye Servants that attend
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXXXIV (1767) Topics: Prayers Of the Church for her Ministers Lyrics: 1 Bless GOD, ye Servants that attend
Upon the LORD's most solemn State;
That in his Temple, Night by Night,
With holy Fear and Rev'rence wait.
2 Within his House lift up hour Hands,
And ever bless his holy Name;
From Sion bless thy Israel, LORD,
Ev'n thou, who Heav'n and Earth didst frame. Scripture: Psalm 124 Languages: English Tune Title: [Bless God, ye Servants that attend]

Lovest thou me? feed my lambs
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDXXV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church Associations or General Meetings of Churches and Ministers First Line: Do not I love thee, O my Lord? Lyrics: 1 Do not I love thee, O my Lord?
Behold my heart and see:
And turn each cursed idol out,
That dares to rival thee.
2 Do not I love thee from my soul?
Then let me nothing love:
Dead be my heart to every joy,
When Jesus cannot move.
3 Is not thy name melodious still
To my attentive ear?
Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound
My Savior's voice to hear?
4 [Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock,
I would disdain to feed?
Hast thou a foe, before whose face
I fear thy cause to plead?
5 Would not mine ardent spirit vie
With angels round the throne,
To execute thy sacred will,
And make thy glory known?
6 Would not my heart pour forth its blood
In honor of thy name?
And challenge the cold hand of death
To damp th' immortal flame?]
7 Thou know'st I love thee, dearest Lord,
But Oh! I long to soar
Far from the sphere of mortal joys,
And learn to love thee more.
Scripture: John 21:15 Languages: English
Lovest thou me? feed my lambs
Father of mercies! bow thine ear
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCCXLVI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prayer for Ministers Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies! bow thine ear,
Attentive to our earnest pray'r:
We plead for those who plead for thee,
Successful pleaders may they be!
2 How great their work, how vast their charge.
Do Thou their anxious souls enlarge:
Their best acquirements are our gain;
We share the blessings they obtain.
3 Clothe, then, with energy divine
Their words, and let their words be thine;
To them thy sacred truth reveal,
Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal.
4 Teach them to sow the precious seed,
Teach them thy chosen flock to feed;
Teach them immortal souls to gain--
Souls that will well reward their pain.
5 Let thronging multitudes around,
Hear from their lips the joyful sound;
In humble strains thy grace implore,
And feel thy new-creating powr.
6 Let sinners break their massy chains,
Distressed souls forget their pains;
Let light through distant realms be spread,
And Sion rear her drooping head. Languages: English
Father of mercies! bow thine ear
Have mercy, Lord, on me
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #IV (1767) Topics: Description of Duty of the Ministers of God's Word Lyrics: 1 Have mercy, Lord on me,
for thou my Judge shalt be,
My Hopes in thee remaining,
Oh! to my humble Pray'r
bow down thy gracious Ear.
Be thou my Cause sustaining;
How long with vain Design,
will ye my foes combine,
In wrathful Indignation?
How long destructive Lies
maliciously devise,
To blot my Reputation.
3 Consider that the Just,
who place in God their Trust,
Are still by him protected;
The Lord my voice will hear,
and grant my humble pray'r,
Whene'er to him directed.
Oh! stand ye then in Awe
of his most sacred Law,
Reflect with deep Contrition;
Flee ev'ry Thing that's Ill,
and humble to his Will,
Your Hearts in low Submission.
3 Amidst thine anxious Cares,
and Soul distressing Fears,
To GOD pray without ceasing;
Sue for his heav'nly Grace,
and offer Righteousness,
A Sacrifice well pleasing.
While Sinners restless grow,
more prosp'rous Times to know,
In Discontent complaining;
LORD, let thy Face divine,
on me with Glory shine,
Thy Mercy me sustaining.
4 So to my grateful Heart,
thy Goodness shall impart,
More true and lasting Pleasure
Than theirs who seek to find
their Joy and Peace of Mind,
In Stores of worldly Treasure.
With thy Protection blest,
I'll teak my needful Rest,
My Head in Peace reclining;
Securely I'll repose,
not fear, tho' all my Foes,
Against me are combining. Scripture: Psalm 4 Languages: English Tune Title: [Have mercy, Lord, on me]
Have mercy, Lord, on me
In vain Apollo's silver tongue
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCLX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ministers Nothing without Christ Lyrics: In vain Apollo's silver tongue,
And Paul's with strains profound,
Diffuse among the listening throng,
The gospel's gladdening sound:
2 Jesus, the work is wholly thine
To form the heart anew,
Now let thy sovereign grace divine
Each stubborn soul subdue. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:5 Languages: English
In vain Apollo's silver tongue
Let David, LORD, for evermore
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXXXII (1767) Topics: Prayers Of the Church for her Ministers Lyrics: 1 Let David, LORD, for evermore
A Place in thy Remembrance find;
Let all the Sorrows he endur'd,
Be ever present in thy Mind.
2 Remember what a solemn Oath
To thee, his LORD supreme, he swore;
How to the mighty GOD he vow'd,
The GOD, whom Jacob's Sons adore.
3 I will not go into my House;
I will not to my Bed ascend;
No soft Repose shall close my Eyes,
No Sleep my drowsy Eye-Lids bend;
4 'Till for the LORD's design'd Abode
I mark the destin'd Ground;
'Till I a decent Place of Rest
For Jacob's GOD have found.
5 Th'appointed Place with Shouts of Joy,
At Euphrata at length we found;
And made the Wood and neighb'ring Fields
Our Songs of Triumph loud resound.
6 Oh! with due Rev'rence, let us then
To his most bless'd Abode repair;
And prostrate at his Footstool fall,
and offer up our humble Pray'r.
7 Arise, O mighty LORD, and now
Possess thy sacred Place of Rest;
Be that not only with thy Ark,
But with thy constant Presence bless'd.
8 Clothe thou thy Priests with Righteousness,
And make thy happy Saints rejoice;
And for thy Servant David's sake,
Attend to thine Anointed's Voice.
9 GOD sware to David in his Truth,
Nor shall his solemn Oath be vain,
One of thy Offspring, after thee,
Upon thy righteous Throne shall reign.
10 And if thy Seed my Cov'nant keep,
And to my holy Laws submit,
Their Children too upon thy Throne
In Safety shall for ever sit.
11 For Sion does, in GOD's Esteem,
All other happy Seats excell;
His Place of everlasting Rest,
The Place where he delights to dwell.
12 Her Store, says he, I will increase,
Her Poor I will with Plenty bless;
Her Saints shall shout aloud for Joy,
Her Priests my saving Health confess.
13 'Tis there that David's Pow'r shall long
Remain, in his successive Line;
And my anointed Servant there,
Shall with perpetual Glory shine.
14 The Faces of his vanquish'd Foes,
Shame and Confusion shall o'erspread;
Whilst, with confirm'd Success, his Crown
Shall flourish on his Royal Head. Scripture: Psalm 132 Languages: English Tune Title: [Let David, Lord, for evermore]
Let David, LORD, for evermore
Watching for souls. An ordination hymn
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ministers Watching for souls First Line: Let Sion's watchman all awake Lyrics: 1 Let Sion's watchmen all awake,
And take th' alarm they give;
Now let them, from the mouth of God
Their awful charge receive.
2 'Tis not a cause of small import
The pastor's care demands;
But what might fill and angel's heart,
And fill'd a Savior's hands.
3 They watch for souls, for which the Lord
Did heavenly bliss forego;
For souls, which must forever live,
In raptures, or in woe.
4 All to the great tribunal haste,
Th' account to render there;
And should'st thou strictly mark our faults,
Lord, how should we appear!
5 May they, that Jesus whom they preach,
Their own Redeemer see,
And watch thou daily o'er their souls,
That they may watch for thee.

Whose welfare fills my daily care
My present joy, my future crown,

Adorn the gospel with your lives,

When he, descending from the skies,
Shall bid your bodies, mean and vile
In his all-glorious Image rise.

To him inviolably cleave:
Your all he purchas'd by his blood,
Nor let him less than all receive.
5 Such is your pastor's faithful charge,
Whose soul desires not yours, but you,
O may he at the Lord's right-hand,
Himself and all his people view. Scripture: Philippians 4:1 Languages: English
