Prayer and Hope

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #55b (1787) Topics: Church delight and safety in it; Church delight and safety in it First Line: Soon as I heard my Father say Lyrics: 1 Soon as I heard my Father say, "Ye children, seek my grace," My heart reply'd without delay, "I'll seek my Father's face." 2 Let not thy face be hid from me, Nor frown my soul away; God of my life, I fly to thee In a distressing day. 3 Should friends and kindred near and dear Leave me to want or die, My God would make my life his care, And all my need supply. 5 My fainting flesh had died with grief, Had not my soul believ'd, To see thy grace provide relief, Nor was my hope deceiv'd. 6 Wait on the Lord, ye trembling saints, And keep your courage up; He'll raise your spirit when it faints, And far exceed your hope. Scripture: Psalm 27:8-9 Languages: English

Come let us join our cheerful songs

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #271 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Church delight and safety in it; Delight and safety in the church; Safety and delight in the church Lyrics: Come, let us join our cheerful songs With angels round the throne; Ten thousand thousand are their tongues, But all their joys are one. "Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry, "To be exalted thus:" "Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply, "For he was slain for us." Jesus is worthy to receive Honor and power divine; And blessings more than we can give, Be, Lord, for ever thine. Let all that dwell above the sky, And air, and earth, and seas, Conspire to lift thy glories high, And speak thine endless praise. The whole creation join in one, To bless the sacred name Of him that sits upon the throne, And to adore the Lamb. Scripture: Revelation 5:11-13 Languages: English

What equal honours shall we bring

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #272 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Church delight and safety in it; Delight and safety in the church; Safety and delight in the church Lyrics: What equal honors shall we bring To thee, O Lord our God, the Lamb, When all the notes that angels sing Are far inferior to thy name? Worthy is he that once was slain, The Prince of Peace that groaned and died; Worthy to rise, and live, and reign At his Almighty Father's side. Power and dominion are his due Who stood condemned at Pilate's bar; Wisdom belongs to Jesus too, Though he was charged with madness here. All riches are his native right, Yet he sustained amazing loss; To him ascribe eternal might, Who left his weakness on the cross. Honor immortal must be paid, Instead of scandal and of scorn; While glory shines around his head, And a bright crown without a thorn. Blessings for ever on the Lamb Who bore the curse for wretched men; Let angels sound his sacred name, And every creature say, Amen. Scripture: Revelation 5:12 Languages: English

How pleasant, how divinely fair

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #424 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Delight and safety in the church Lyrics: How pleasant, how divinely fair, O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are! With long desire my spirit faints To meet th' assemblies of thy saints. My flesh would rest in thine abode, My panting heart cries out for God; My God! my King! why should I be So far from all my joys and thee? The sparrow chooses where to rest, And for her young provides her nest; But will my God to sparrows grant That pleasure which his children want? Blest are the saints who sit on high Around thy throne of majesty; Thy brightest glories shine above, And all their work is praise and love. Blest are the souls who find a place Within the temple of thy grace; There they behold thy gentler rays, And seek thy face, and learn thy praise. Blest are the men whose hearts are set To find the way to Zion's gate; God is their strength, and through the road They lean upon their helper God. Cheerful they walk with growing strength, Till all shall meet in heav'n at length, Till all before thy face appear, And join in nobler worship there. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English

Great God, attend, while Sion sings

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #425 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Delight and safety in the church Lyrics: Great God, attend, while Zion sings The joy that from thy presence springs: To spend one day with thee on earth Exceeds a thousand days of mirth. Might I enjoy the meanest place Within thy house, O God of grace, Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power, Should tempt my feet to leave thy door. God is our sun, he makes our day; God is our shield, he guards our way From all th' assaults of hell and sin, From foes without and foes within. All needful grace will God bestow, And crown that grace with glory too! He gives us all things, and withholds No real good from upright souls. O God, our King, whose sovereign sway The glorious hosts of heav'n obey, And devils at thy presence flee, Blest is the man that trusts in thee. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English

My soul, how lovely is the place

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #426 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Delight and safety in the church Lyrics: My soul, how lovely is the place To which thy God resorts! 'Tis heav'n to see his smiling face, Though in his earthly courts. There the great Monarch of the skies His saving power displays, And light breaks in upon our eyes With kind and quick'ning rays. With his rich gifts the heav'nly Dove Descends and fills the place, While Christ reveals his wondrous love, And sheds abroad his grace. There, mighty God, thy words declare The secrets of thy will; And still we seek thy mercy there, And sing thy praises still. My heart and flesh cry out for thee, While far from thine abode; When shall I tread thy courts, and see My Savior and my God? The sparrow builds herself a nest, And suffers no remove; O make me, like the sparrows, blest, To dwell but where I love. To sit one day beneath thine eye, And hear thy gracious voice, Exceeds a whole eternity Employed in carnal joys. Lord, at thy threshold I would wait While Jesus is within, Rather than fill a throne of state, Or live in tents of sin. Could I command the spacious land, And the more boundless sea, For one blest hour at thy right hand I'd give them both away. Scripture: Psalm 84:10 Languages: English
