And sound aloud his grace.

"And sweeter streams above.

"I to my sheep will give;
"And, while my throne unshaken stands,
"Shall all my chosen live.

"Is rais'd for their defence:

"Or what shall force them thence?

Let faith triumphant cry;

Can on this promise die. Scripture: John 10:27-30 Languages: English

Christians the Sons of God
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XCV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Adoption First Line: Not all the nobles of the earth Lyrics: 1 Not all the nobles of the earth,
Who boast the honors of their birth,
Such real dignity can claim,
As those who bear the christian name.
2 To them the privilege is giv'n
To be the sons and heirs of heav'n;
Sons of the God who reigns on high,
And heirs of joys beyond the sky.
3 [On them, a happy chosen race,
Their father pours his riches grace:
To them his counsels he imparts,
And stamps his image on their hearts.
4 Their infant-cries, their tender age,
His pity and his love engage:
He clasps them in his arms, and there
Secures them with parental care.]
5 His will he makes them early know,
And teaches their young feet to go;
Whispers instruction to their minds,
And on their hearts his precepts binds.
6 When, thro' temptation they rebel,
His chast'ning rode ne makes them feel
Then, with a father's tender heart,
He sooths the pain, and heals the smart.
7 Their daily wants his hands supply,
Their steps he guards with watchful eye,
Leads them from earth to heaven above,
And crowns them with eternal love.
8 If I've the honor, Lord, to be
One of this num'rous family,
On me the gracious gift bestow,
To call thee Abba, father! too.
9 So may my conduct ever prove
My filial piety and love!
Whilst all my brethren clearly trace
Their father's likeness in my face.

A calm and heavenly frame;
A light, to shine upon the road
That leads me to the lamb!

When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus, and his word?

How sweet their memory still!
But now I find an aching void,
The world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy dove return,
Sweet Messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.

Eternal and unchangeable Love
Author: L. H. C. Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXIV (1792) Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings God's Everlasting Love First Line: O my distrustful heart Lyrics: 1 O, my distrustful heart
How small thy faith appears!
But greater, Lord, thou art,
Than all my doubts and fears.
Did Jesus once upon me shine?
Then Jesus is forever mine.
2 Unchangeable his will,
Tho' dark may be my frame;
His loving heart is still
Eternally the same:
My soul thro' many changes goes;
His love no variation knows.
3 Thou, Lord, wilt carry on,
And perfectly perform
The work thou hast begun
In me a sinful worm;
Midst all my fears, and sin and woe,
Thy Spirit will not let me go.
4 The bowels of thy grace
At first did freely move:
I still shall see thy face,
And feel that God is love!
Myself into thine arms I cast;

O that I knew where I might find him; or, sins and Sorrows laid before God
Author: Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XCIX (1792) Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Communion with God First Line: O that I knew the secret place Lyrics: 1 O that I knew the secret place
Where I might find my God!
I'd spread my wants before his face,
And pour my woes abroad.
2 I'd tell him how my sins arise,
What sorrows I sustain;
How grace decays, and comfort dies,
And leaves my heart in pain.
3 He knows what arguments I'd take
To wrestle with my God;
I'd plead for his own mercy's sake,
And for my Savior's blood.
4 My God will pity my complaints,
And heal my broken bones;
He takes the meaning of his saints,
The language of their groans.
5 Arise, my soul, from deep distress,
And banish every fear;
He calls thee to his throne of grace,
To spread thy sorrows there. Scripture: Job 23:3-4 Languages: English
O that I knew where I might find him; or, sins and Sorrows laid before God
