The Blessedness of Gospel Times

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #126 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him First Line: How beauteous are their feet Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are at their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet their tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Savior King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes, That see this heav'nly light! Prophets and kings desir'd it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare his arm Thro' all the earth abroad; Let ev'ry nation now behold Their Savior and their God.

May every heart with rapture say, "The Savior died for me." 5 O may the sweet, the blissful theme, Fill every heart and tongue: Till strangers love thy charming name, And join the sacred song.

Bright source of everlasting love!

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #128 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him Lyrics: 1 Bright source of everlasting love! To thee our souls we raise; And to thy matchless bounty rear A monument of praise. 2 Thy mercy gilds the path of life With ev'ry cheering ray; Kindly restrains the rising tear, Or wipes that tear away. 3 When, sunk in guilt, our race approach'd The borders of despair; Thy grace through Jesus' blood proclaim'd A free salvation near. 4 What shall we render, bounteous Lord, For all the grace we see? Alas! the goodness worms can yield Extendeth not to thee. 5 To tents of wo, to beds of pain, Our cheerful feet repair; And, with the gifts thy hand bestows, Relieve the mourners there. 6 The widow's heart shall sing for joy; The orphan shall be glad; And hung'ring souls we'll gladly point To Christ the living bread. 7 Thus, passing through this vale of tears, Our useful light shall shine; And others learn to glorify Our Father's name divine.

Excellency of the Religion of Jesus

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #130 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him First Line: Is there on earth a nobler name Lyrics: 1 Is there on earth a nobler name Than Jesus to be found? Who can assert a higher claim, Or more with truth abound? 2 The Son of God, adorned with grace, Commission'd from above, He bears to our rebellious race The messages of love. 3 Behold his gentle spirit feel The suff'rings of mankind; And with a word the sorrows heal Of Body and of mind. 4 How lofty were the truths he taught! How pure the life he led! And shall another Lord be sought, And we disown our Head? 5 Asham'd of Jesus, shall we let This precious Savior go? And, basely, at defiance set Him who hath lov'd us so? 6 Forbid it, Lord! nor let us yield To this unworthy shame: Let each, with holy courage fill'd, Rejoice in Jesus' name. Languages: English
