The peace so abundantly given;
It flows through the word of thy grace,
And makes us anticipate heaven. Languages: English

(A favour bestowed, we hope not in vain)
To hear from our Saviour the word of his grace;
Then be our behaviour becoming the place.
2 Remember the ends for which we are met;
Alas! my dear friends, we’re apt to forget;
The motives that brought us, the Lord only sees;
But if he has taught us, our ends should be these:
3 To worship the Lord with praise and with prayer;
To practise his word, as well as to hear,
To own with contrition the deeds we have done,
And take the remission God gives in his Son.
4 Blest Spirit of Christ, descend on us thus;
Thy servant assist; teach him to teach us;
O send us thy unction, to teach us all good;
And touch with compunction, and sprinkle with blood.

Breathing after Heavenly Things
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XCIII (1790) Topics: After Sermon First Line: To thee, my God, I hourly sigh Lyrics: 1 To thee, my GOD, I hourly sigh,
But not for golden stores;
Nor covet I the brightest gems,
On the rich eastern shores.
2 Nor that deluding empty joy,
Men call a mighty name;
Nor greatness in it gayest forms,
My restless thoughts enflame.
3 Nor pleasure's soft enticing charms,
My fond desires allrue;
Far greater things than earth can yield,
My wishes would secure.
4 Those blissful, those transporting smiles,
That brighten Heav'n above;
The boundless riches of thy grace,
And treasures of thy love.
5 These are the mighty things I crave:
O! make these blessings mine;
And all the glories of the world
I gladly will resign. Languages: English

Christ's Intercession
Author: Toplady Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #LXIII (1790) Topics: After Sermon First Line: Awake, sweet gratitude and sing Lyrics: 1 Awake, sweet gratitude and sing,
Th' ascended Saviour's love;
Sing how he lives to carry on,
His people's cause above.
2 For all that come to God by him,
Salvation he demands;
Points to their names upon his breast,
And spreads his wounded hands.
3 His sweet atoning sacrifice,
Gives sanction to his claim:
"Father, I will that all my saints,
"Be with me where I am:
4 "By their salvation, recompense,
"Th sorrows I endur'd;
"Just to the merits of thy son,
"And faithful to thy word."

To every saint is given:
Safety on Earth, and, after death,
The plenitude of Heaven. Languages: English

The Kingdom of God, not in word, but in power
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #LXV (1790) Topics: After Sermon First Line: A form of words tho' e'er so sound Lyrics: 1 A form of words tho' e'er so sound
Can never save a soul,
The Holy Ghost must give the wound,
And make the wounded whole.
2 Though God's election is a truth,
Small comfort there I see,
Till I am told by GOD's own mouth,
That he has chosen me.
3 Sinners, I read, are justified,
By faith in JESUS' blood:
But when to me that blood's appli'd,
'Tis then I've peace with GOD.
4 Imputed righteousness I own
A doctrine most divine;
For JESIS to my heart makes known,
That all his merit's mine.
5 To perseverance I agree;
The thing to me is clear;
Because the LORD has promis'd me,
That I shall persevere.
6 Thus christians glorify the LORD;
His Spirit joins with ours,
In bearing Witness to his word,
With all its saving pow'rs.

A Godly sorrow for Christ's sufferings
Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #LXXXIII (1790) Topics: After Sermon First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed! Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed!
And did my sov'reign die;
Wou'd he devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
2 Was it for crimes that I had done,
He groan'd upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree.
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in;
When Christ the mighty Saviour dy'd
For man the creature's sin.
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While his dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in tenderness,
And melt my eyes to tears.
5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love we owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do. Languages: English

Watchfulness and Prayer
Author: Steel Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #LXXXIX (1790) Topics: After Sermon First Line: Alas what hourly dangers rise Lyrics: 1 Alas, what hourly dangers rise!
What snares beset my way!
To Heaven O let me lift mine eyes,
And hourly watch and pray.
2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain,
And melt in flowing tears;
My weak resistance, ah! how vain!
How strong my foes and fears!
3 O gracious GOD, in whom I live,
My feeble efforts aid,
Help me to watch, and pray, and strive,
Tho' trembling and afraid.
4 Increase my faith, Increase my hope,
When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirits up,
Or soon my strength will fail.
5 When ere temptations fright my heart,
Or lure my feet aside,
My God, thy powerful aid impart,
My guardian and my guide.

And bid the tempter flee;
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and thee.

Almighty God of truth and love
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CVII (1790) Topics: After Sermon Lyrics: 1 Almighty GOD of truth and love
In me thy pow'r exert;
The mountain from my soul remove,
The hardness of my heart;
My most obdurate heart subdue,
In honour of thy Son,
And now the gracious wonder shew,
And take away the stone.
2 I want a principle within,
Of jealous, godly fear;
A sensibility of sin,
A pain to feel it near:
I want the first approach to feel
Of pride, or vain desire,
To catch the wand'rings of my will,
And quench the kindling fire.
3 From thee that I no more depart,
No more thy goodness grieve,
The filial awe, the fleshly heart,
The tender conscience give:
Quick as the apple of an eye,
O GOD! my conscience make:
Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
And keep it still awake.

Holy Fortitude
Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XCVII (1790) Topics: After Sermon First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross? Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross?
A follower of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own his cause?
Or blush to speak his name?
2 Must I be carry'd to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sail'd through bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to GOD?
4 Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage LORD:
I'll bear the cross, endure the pain,
Supported by thy word.
5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.
6 When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thy armies shine,
In robes of vic'try through the skies,
The glory shall be thine. Languages: English

And this may be my last.
2 Much of my dubious life is gone,
Nor will return again;
And swift my passing moments run,

In Christ so freely given.

And on his grace depend;
With zeal pursue the heav'nly road,
Nor doubt a happy end.

The Heavenly guest
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CVIII (1790) Topics: After Sermon First Line: And will the Lord thus condescend Lyrics: 1 And will the LORD thus condescend
To visit sinful worms?
Thus at the door shall mercy stand,
In all her winning forms?
2 Surprizing grace! — and shall my heart
Unmov'd and cold remain?
Has this hard rock no tender part?
Must mercy please in vain?
3 Shall JESIS for admission sue,
His charming voice unheard?
And this vile heart, his rightful due,
Remain for ever barr'd?
4 'Tis sin, alas! with tyrant power,
The lodging has possess'd;
And crouds of traitors bar the door
Against the heav'nly guest.
5 LORD, rise in thy all conqu'ring grace,
Thy mighty power display;

Can drive my foes away.

Beneath my soul he plac'd,

Lest I in my own strength confide;

Where sinners love to meet;
Who fears to tread their wicked ways,
And hates the scoffer’s seat.
2 But in the statutes of the Lord
Has plac'd his chief delight;
By day he reads or hears the word,
And meditates by night.
3 Green as the leaf and ever fair,
Shall his profession shine;
While fruits of holiness appear
Like clusters on the vine.
4 Not so the impious and unjust;

And toil and seek salvation there,
Look to the flame that Moses saw,
And shrink, and tremble, and despair.

No rose can learn to blush like this,
Nor lily look so fair.
4 'Tis wrought by Jesus' skilful hand,
And ting'd with his own blood;
It make the Cherubs gazing stand
To view this robe of God.
5 This vesture never waxeth old,
Nor spot thereon can fall;
It makes a soldier brisk and bold,
And dutiful withall.
6 This robe put on me, Lord each day,
And it shall hide my shame,
Shall make me fight and sing and pray
And bless my captain's name.

And thousand tastes of new delights,
From all thy graces spring.

Since our Immanuel rose;

And to his Father flies,
With scars of honour in his flesh,
And triumph in his eyes.

To reach his bless'd abode;
Sweet be the accents of your songs,
To our incarnate God.

Your sweetest voices raise;
