Breathing after the holy Spirit

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XXXI (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove Lyrics: 1 Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove With all thy quick'ning pow'rs; Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 Look how we grovel here below, Fond of these trifling toys; Our souls can neither fly, nor go To reach eternal joys. 3 In vain we tune our formal songs, In vain we strive to rise; Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies. 4 Dear LORD, and shall we ever lie At this poor dying rate? Our love so faint, so cold to thee, And thine to us so great? 5 Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove, With all thy quick'ning pow'rs; Come shed abroad a Saviour’s love, And that shall kindle ours.

Immutability of God

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XLV (1790) Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Great Former of this various frame Lyrics: 1 Great Former of this various frame, Our souls adore thine awful name; And bow and tremble, while they praise The ancient of eternal days. 2 Thou, Lord, with unsurpris'd survey, Saw'st nature rising yesterday; And, as tomorrow, shall thine eye See earth and stars in ruin lie. 3 Beyond an angel's vision bright, Thou dwell'st in self-existent light. Which shines with undiminish'd ray, While suns and worlds in smoke decay. 4 Our days a transient period run, And change with ev'ry circling sun, And in the firmest state we boast, A moth can crush us into dust. 5 But let the creatures fall around; Let death consign us to the ground, Let the last general flame arise, And melt the Arches of the skies: 6 Calm as the summer's ocean, we, Can all the wreck of nature see, While grace secures us an abode, Unshaken as the throne of God.

The noblest balm of all its wounds, The cordial of its care. 5 I'll speak the honours of thy name, With my last lab'ring breath; And speechless clasp thee in mine arms, My joy in life and death!
