Eternal and immortal King!
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #309 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Duties of Piety Lyrics: 1 Eternal and immortal King!
Thy peerless splendours none can bear;
But darkness veils seraphic eyes;
When God with all his glory’s there.
2 Yet faith can pierce the awful gloom,
The great Invisible can see:
And with its tremblings mingle joy,
In fix'd regard, great God! to Thee.
3 Then ev'ry tempting form of sin,
Aw'd by thy presence, disappears;
And all the glowing raptur'd soul
The likeness it contemplates, wears.
4 O ever conscious to my heart!
Witness to its supreme desire;
Behold it presses on to thee,
For it hath caught the heav'nly fire.
5 This one petition would it urge:
To bear thee ever in my sight!
In life, in death, in worlds unknown,
My only portion and delight! Languages: English
Eternal and immortal King!
Thrice happy souls, who, born of heav'n
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #310 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Duties of Piety Lyrics: 1. Thrice happy souls, who, born from heav’n,
Whilst yet they sojourn here,
Humbly begin their days with God,
And spend them in his fear?
2. So may our eyes with holy zeal,
Prevent the dawning day,
And turn the sacred pages o’er,
And praise thy name and pray..
3. Midst hourly cares my love present
Its incense to thy throne;
And while the world our hands employs,
Our hearts be thine alone!
4. As sanctify'd to noblest ends,
By each refreshment sought;
And by each various providence,
Some wise instruction brought.
5 When to laborious duties call'd
Or by temptations try'd;
We'll seek the shelter of thy wings,
And in thy strength confide.
6 As diff'rent scenes of life arise,
Our grateful hearts would be
With thee amidst the social band,
In solitude with thee.
7 At night we lean our weary heads
On thy paternal breast;
And, safely folded in thine arms,
Resign our pow'rs to rest.
8 In solid pure delights, like these,
Let all my days be past:
Nor shall I then impatient wish,
Nor shall I fear the last. Languages: English
Thrice happy souls, who, born of heav'n
While thee I seek, protecting Pow'r!
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #311 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Duties of Piety Lyrics: 1 While thee I seek, protecting Pow'r!
Be my vain wishes still'd;
And may this consecrated hour
With better hopes be fill'd.
2 Thy love the pow'rs of thought bestow'd:
To thee my thoughts would soar.
Thy mercy o'er my life has flow'd:
That mercy I adore.
3 In each event of life, how clear
Thy ruling hand I see!
Each blessing to my soul more dear,
Because bestow'd by thee.
4 In ev'ry joy that crowns my days,
In every pain I bear,
My heart shall find delight in praise,
Or seek relief in pray'r.
5 When gladness wings my favour'd hour,
Thy love my thoughts shall fill:
Resign'd, when storms of sorrow low'r,
My soul shall meet thy will.
6 My lifted eye, without a tear,
The low'ring storm shall see;
My steadfast heart shall know no fear;
That heart will rest on thee! Languages: English
While thee I seek, protecting Pow'r!
Our Father, thron'd above the sky
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #312 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Duties of Piety Lyrics: 1 Our Father, thron'd above the sky,
To thee our empty hands we spread;
Thy children at thy footstool lie,
And ask thy blessings on their head.
2 With cheerful hope and filial fear,
In that august and precious name,
By thee ordain'd, we now draw near,
And would the promis'd blessing claim.
3 Does not an earthly parent hear
The cravings of his famish'd son?
Will he reject the filial pray'r,
Or mock him with a cake of stone?
4 Our heav'nly Father, how much more
Will thy divine compassions rise;
And open thy unbounded store,
To satisfy thy children's cries?
5 yes, we will ask, and seek, and press
For gracious audience at thy seat;
Still hoping, waiting for success,
If persevering to entreat.
6 For Jesus in his faithful word
The upright supplicant has blest;
And all thy saints with one accord
The prevalence of pray'r attest. Languages: English
Our Father, thron'd above the sky
Happy the heart, where graces reign
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #313 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Duties of Piety Lyrics: 1 Happy the heart, where graces reign,
Where love inspires the breast:
Love is the brightest of the train,
And strengthens all the rest.
2 Knowledge, alas! 'tis all in vain,
And all in vain our fear:
Our stubborn sins will fight and reign,
If love be absent there.
3 'Tis love that makes our cheerful feet
In swift obedience move.
The devils know, and tremble too;
But devils do not love.
4 This is the grace that lives and sings
When faith and hope shall cease.
'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings
In the sweet, realms of bliss.
Languages: English
Happy the heart, where graces reign
Thou hidden love of God, whose height
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #314 (1814) Meter: Irregular Topics: Duties of Piety Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height,
Whose depth unfathom'd no man knows:
I see from far thy beauteous light,
I only sigh for thy repose:
My heart is pain'd, nor can it be
At rest, till it finds rest in thee.
2 Is there a thing beneath the sun,
That strives with thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of ev'ry motion there.
Then shall my heart from earth be free,
When it hath found repose in thee.
3 Each moment draw from earth away
My heart, that lowly waits thy call.
Speak to my inmost soul, ad say:
"I am thy love, thy God, thy all!"
To feel thy pow'r, to hear thy voice,
To taste thy love, be all my choice.
Languages: English
Thou hidden love of God, whose height
How shall the young secure their hearts
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #315a (1899) Topics: Early Piety Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts,
And guard their lives from sin?
Thy Word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
2 'Tis like the sun, a heavenly light
That guides us all the day,
And through the dangers of the night
A lamp to lead our way.
3 Thy precepts make me truly wise,
I hate the sinner's road;
I hate mine own vain thoughts that rise,
But love Thy law, my God.
4 Thy Word is everlasting truth;
How pure is every page!
That Holy Book shall guide our youth,
And well support our age.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: TIVERTON
How shall the young secure their hearts
Parent of good! thy works of might
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #315 (1814) Meter: Irregular Topics: Duties of Piety Lyrics: 1 Parent of good! thy works of might
I trace with wonder and delight;
Thy name is all divine.
There's nought in earth or sea or air,
Or heav'n itself, that's good or fair,
But what is wholly thine.
2 Immensely high thy glories rise;
They strike my soul with sweet surprise,
And sacred pleasure yield:
An ocean wide without a bound,
Where ev'ry noble wish is drown'd,
And ev'ry want is fill's.
3 To thee my warm affections move,
In sweet astonishment and love,
While at thy feet I fall;
I pant for nought beneath the skies;
To thee my ardent wishes rise,
O my eternal All!
4 What shall I do to spread thy praise,
My God! through my remaining days,
Or how thy name adore?
To thee I consecrate my breath;
Let me be thine in life and death,
And thine for evermore.

Parent of good! thy works of might
Saviour, who Thy flock art feeding
Author: William A. Muhlenberg Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #316 (1899) Topics: Early Piety Lyrics: 1 Saviour, who Thy flock art feeding
With the Shepherd's kindest care,
All the feeble gently leading,
While the lambs Thy bosom share;
2 Now, these little ones receiving,
Fold them in Thy gracious arm;
There, we know, Thy word believing,
Only there, secure from harm.
3 Never, from Thy pasture roving,
Let them be the lion's prey;
Let Thy tenderness, so loving,
Keep them all life's dangerous way;
4 Then, within Thy fold eternal
Let them find a resting-place,
Feed in pastures ever vernal,
Drink the rivers of Thy grace.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: TALMAR
Saviour, who Thy flock art feeding
Great God! our joyful thanks to thee
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #316 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Duties of Piety Lyrics: 1 Great God! our joyful thanks to thee
Shall, like thy gifts, continual be:
In constant streams thy bounty flows,
Nor end nor interruption knows.
2 From thee our comforts all arise,
Our num'rous wants thy hand supplies;
Nor can we ever, Lord, be poor,
Who live on thy exhaustless store.
3 Deep, Lord, upon our thankful breast
Let all thy favors be imp rest;
That we may never more forget
The whole or any single debt.
4 May we with grateful hearts each day
For all thy gifts our praises pay;
And still delighted may we be,
In all things to give thanks to thee. Languages: English
Great God! our joyful thanks to thee
