Faith fainting
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCCXVII (1791) Topics: Faith and Obedience First Line: When compass'd with Clouds of Distress Lyrics: 1 When compass'd with Clouds of Distress,
Just ready all Hope to resign,
I pant for the Light of thy Fame,
And fear it will never be mine:
Dishearten'd with waiting so long,
I sink at thy Feet with my Load,
All-plaintive I pour out my Song,
And stretch forth my Hands unto GOD.
2 Shine, LORD, and my Terror shall cease;
The Blood of Atonement apply;
And lead me to Jesus, for Peace,
The Rock that is higher than I
Speak, Savior, for Sweet is thy voice;
Thy Presence is fair to behold;
Attend to my Sorrows and Cries,
My Groanings that cannot be told.
3 If sometimes I strive as I mourn,
My Hold of thy Promise to keep,
The Billows more fiercely return,"
And plunge me again in the Deep;
While harrass'd and cast from thy Sight,
The Tempter suggests with a roar,
"The LORD has forsaken thee quite;
"Thy GOD will be gracious no more.
4 Yet LORD, if thy Love hath design'd
No Covenant Blessing for me,
Ah, tell me, how is it I find
Some Pleasure in waiting for thee?
Almighty to rescue thou art;
Thy Grace is my only Resource;
If e'er thou art LORD of my Heart,
Thy spirit must take it by Force.

Every Creature at GOD's Command
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LXX (1791) Topics: Faith and Obedience First Line: Elijah's Example declares Lyrics: 1 Elijah's Example declares,
Whatever Distress may betide,
The Saints may commit all their Cares
To him who will always provide,
When Rain long witheld from the Earth
Occasion'd a Famine of Bread,
The Prophet, secur'd from the Dearth,
By Ravens was constantly fed.
2 More likely to rob than to feed,
Are Ravens who live upon Prey;
But where the LORD's People have need,
His Goodness will find out a Way:
This Instance to those may seem Strange,
Who know not how Faith can prevail;
But sooner all Nature shall change,
Than one of GOD's Promises fail,
3 Nor is it a Singular Case;
The Wonder is often renew'd;
And many may say to GOD's Praise,
By Ravens he sendeth them Food.
Thus Worldlings, tho' Ravens indeed,
Tho' greedy and Selfish their Mind,
If GOD has a Servant to feed,
Against their own Wills can be kind.
4 Thus Satan the Raven unclean,
That croaks in the Ears of the Saints,
O'er-rul'd by a Power unseen,
Administers oft to their Wants;
GOD teaches them how to find Food
From all the Temptations they feel:
This Raven who thirsts for my Blood,
Has help'd me to many a Meal.
5 How safe and how happy are they
Who on the good Shepherd rely!
He'll give them Out Strength for their Day,
Their Wants he Will surely supply,
He Ravens and Lions can tame;
All Creatures obey his Command:
Then let me rejoice in his Name,
And leave all my Cares in his Hand.

Paul's Voyage
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXX (1791) Topics: Faith and Obedience First Line: If Paul in Cæsar's Court must stand Lyrics: 1 If Paul in Cæsar's Court must stand,
He need not fear the Sea;
Secur'd from Harm, on ev'ry Hand,
By the divine Decree.
2 Altho' the Ship wherein he sail'd,
By dreadful Storms was toss'd;
The promise over all prevail'd,
And not a Life was lost.
3 Jesus! the God whom Paul ador'd,
Who saves in Time of need;
Was then confess'd by all on Board,
A present Help indeed!
4 Tho' neither Sun nor Stars were seen
Paul knew the Lord was near;
And Faith preserv'd his Soul Serene,
When others shook with Fear.
5 Believers thus are toss'd about
On Life's tempestuous Main;
But Grace assures beyond a Doubt
They shall their Port attain.
6 They must, they shall appear one Day,
Before their Saviour's Throne;
The Storms they meet with by the Way,
But make his Power known.
7 Their Passage lies across the Brink
Of many a threat'ning Wave;
The World expects to see them sink,
But Jesus lives to save.
8 Lord, tho' we are but feeble Worms,
Yet since thy Word is past;
We'll venture thro' a thousand Storms,
To see thy Face at last.

Lord; I believe a Rest remains
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLXVI (1791) Topics: Faith and Obedience Lyrics: 1 Lord; I believe a Rest remains,
To all thy People known,
A Rest where pure Enjoyment reigns,
And Thou art lov'd alone.
2 A Rest, where all our Souls Desire
Is fixt on Things above;
Where Fear and Sin, and Grief expire,
Cast out by perfect Love.
3 Oh that I now the Rest might know,
Believe, and enter in!
Now Saviour,, now the Pow'r bestow,
And let me cease from Sin!
4 Remove all Hardness from my Heart,
This Unbelief remove;
To me the Rest of Faith impart,
The Sabbath of thy love.
5 I would be thine; thou know'st I would,
And have thee all my own:
Thee, Oh! my All-Sufficient good,
I want, and thee alone.
6 Thy Name to me, thy Nature grant!
This, only this, be giv'n:
Nothing beside my God I want,
Nothing in Earth and Heav'n.
7 Come, Oh my Saviour, come away,
Into my Soul descend!
No longer from thy Creature stay,
My Author and my End!
8 Come, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
And Seal me thine abode!
Let all I am in thee be lost,
Let all be lost in God.
Scripture: Luke 1:46
Lord; I believe a Rest remains
Return of Joy
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCCXVIII (1791) Topics: Faith and Obedience First Line: When Darkness long has vail'd my Mind Lyrics: 1 When Darkness long has vail'd my Mind,
And smiling Day once more appears;
Then, my Redeemer, then I find
The Folly of my Doubts and Fears.
2 I chide my unbelieving Heart,
And blush that I should ever be
Thus prone to act so base a part,
Or harbor one hard Thought of thee!
3 O! let me then at length be taught
(What I am still so slow to learn)
That GOD is Love, and changes not,
Nor knows the Shadow of a Turn.
4 Sweet Truth, and easy to repeat!
But when my Faith is sharply try'd
I find myself a Learner yet,
Unskilful, weak, and apt to slide.
5 But O my LORD, one look from thee
Subdues the disobedient Will;
Drives Doubt and Discontent away,
And thy rebellious Worm is still.
6 Thou art as ready to forgive,
As I am ready to repine;
Thou, therefore, all the praise receive;
Be Shame, and Self-abhorrence, mine.

Constrained by their Lord to embark
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LVII (1791) Topics: Faith and Obedience Lyrics: 1 Constrain'd by their Lord to embark,
And venture without him to Sea.
The season tempestuous and dark,
How griev'd the Disciples must be!
But tho' he remain'd on the Shore,
He spent the Night for them in Pray'r;
They still were as safe as before,
And equally under his Care.
2 They strove, tho' in vain, for a while,
The Force of the Waves to withstand;
But when they were weary'd with Toil,
They saw their dear Saviour at hand;
They gladly receiv'd him on Board,
His Presence their Spirits reviv'd;
The Sea became calm at his Word,
And soon at their Port they arriv'd.
3 Believers now like them are tost
By Storms, of a perilous Deep;
But cannot be possibly lost
While Jesus has Charge of the Ship:
Tho' Billows and winds are enrag'd,
And threaten to make them their Sport;
This Pilot hath firmly engag'd
To bring them, in Safety to Port.
4 If sometimes we struggle alone,
And he is withdrawn from our View,
It makes us more willing to own
We nothing without him can do:
Then Satan our Hopes would assail,
But Jesus is still within call;
And when our poor Efforts quite fail,
He comes in good Time, and does all.
5 Yet, Lord, we are ready to shrink,
Unless we thy Presence perceive;
O save us (we cry) or we sink,
We would but we cannot believe:
The Night has been long, and severe,
The Winds and the Seas are still high;
Dear Saviour, this Moment appear,
And say to our Souls, "It is I!" Scripture: Matthew 14:22 Languages: English

How meanly dwells the immortal mind
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CX (1791) Topics: Faith and Obedience Lyrics: 1 How meanly dwells th' immortal Mind!
How vile these Bodies are!
Why was a Clod of Earth, design'd
T' enclose a heav'nly Star?
2 Weak Cottage where our Souls reside,
This Flesh a tott'ring Wall:
The frightfull Breaches gaping wide,
The Buildings bends to fall.
3 All round it Storms of Sorrow blow,
And Waves of Trouble roll;
Cold Waves, and Winter Storms, beat through,
And Pain the Tenant Soul.
4 "Alas, how frail our State!" said I,
And thus went mourning on,
Till sudden from the cleaving Sky
A Gleam of Glory shone.
5 My Soul all felt the Glory come,
And breath'd her native Air;
Then she remember'd Heav'n her Home,
And she a Pris'ner here.
6 Straight she began to change her Key,
And joyful in her Chains,
She sung the Frailty of her Clay
In pleasurable Strains.
7 "How weak the Pris'n is where I dwell!
"This Flesh a tott'ring Wall!
"The Breaches chearfully foretell,
"The House must shortly fall.
8 "No more my Friends, shall I complain,
"Tho' all my Heart Strings ake,
"Welcome Disease, and ev'ry Pain,
That makes the Cottage shake.
9 "I have a Mansion built above,
"By the eternal Hand
And should the Earth's old Basis move
"My Heav'nly House must stand.
10 "Yes for 'tis there my Saviour Reigns;
"(I long to see my God)
"And his immortal Strength sustains
"The Purchase of his Blood.
11 "Hark, from on High my Saviour call
"I come, my Lord, my Love;
"Devotion breaks the Prison Walls,
"And speeds my last Remove."

Our frail Bodies, and God our Preserver
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLII (1791) Topics: Faith and Obedience First Line: Let others boast how strong they be Lyrics: 1 Let others boast how strong they be,
Nor Death nor Danger fear;
But we'll confess, O Lord, to thee,
What feeble Things we are.
2 Fresh as the Grass our Bodies stand,
And flourish bright and gay;
A blasting Wind sweeps o'er the Land,
And fades the Grass away.
3 Our Life contains a thousand Springs,
And dies if one be gone;
Strange! that a Harp of thousand Strings
Should keep in Tune so long!
4 But 'tis our God supports our Frame,
The God that built us first:
Salvation to th' Almighty Name
That rear'd us from the Dust.
[5 He spoke, and strait our Hearts and Brains
In all their Motions rose,
Let Blood, said he, flow round the Veins,
And round the Veins it flows.
6 While we have Breath, or use our Tongues,
Our Maker we'll adore:
His Spirit moves our heaving Lungs,
Or they would breathe no more.] Languages: English

Thrice happy I am.

3 True Pleasures abound
In the rapt'rous Sound,
Whoever hath found it, hath Paradise found.
4 My Jesus to know,
And feel his Blood flow,
'Tis Life everlasting, 'tis Heaven below.
5 Yet onward I haste
To the heav'nly Feast:
That, that is the Fulness; but this is the Taste.

'Till glad I remove

And wipe my weeping Eyes.
2 Should Earth against my Soul engage,
And hellish Darts be hurl'd,
Then I can smile at Satan's Rage,
And face a frowning World.
3 Let cares like a wild Deluge come,
And Storms of Sorrow fall;
May I but safely reach my Home,
My God, my Heav'n my all.
4 There shall I bathe my weary Soul
In Seas of heav'nly Rest,
And not a Wave of Trouble roll
Across my peaceful Breast.

Ancient of everlasting days and God of love.
Jehovah! Great I AM! by earth and heav'n confessed;
I bow and bless the sacred name, forever blest.
2 The God of Abraham praise, at whose supreme command
from earth I rise and seek the joys at his right hand.
I all on earth forsake, its wisdom, fame, and pow'r,
and him my only portion make, my shield and tow'r.
3 He by himself hath sworn, I on his oath depend;
I shall, on eagles' wings upborne, to heav'n ascend.
I shall behold his face, I shall his pow'r adore,
and sing the wonders of his grace forevermore.
4 The goodly land I see, with peace and plenty blest,
a land of sacred liberty and endless rest.
There milk and honey flow, and oil and wine abound,
and trees of life forever grow, with mercy crowned.
5 There dwells the Lord our King, the Lord our Righteousness,
triumphant o'er the world and sin, the Prince of Peace.
On Zion's sacred height his kingdom he maintains,
and glorious with his saints in light forever reigns.

Are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]

is portioned out for me;
the changes that are sure to come
I do not fear to see:
I ask thee for a present mind,
intent on pleasing thee.
2 I would not have the restless will
that hurries to and fro,
seeking for some great thing to do
or secret thing to know;
I would be treated as a child,
and guided where to go.
3 I ask thee for the daily strength,
to none that ask denied,
a mind to blend with outward life,
while keeping at thy side,
content to fill a little space,
if thou be glorified.
4 In service which thy will appoints
there are no bonds for me;
my secret heart is taught the truth
that makes thy children free;
a life of self-renouncing love
is one of liberty. Scripture: Psalm 90:12 Languages: English Tune Title: MORWELLHAM

O Blessed souls are they
Whose sins are covered o'er!
Divinely blest, to whom the Lord
Imputes their guilt no more.
They mourn their follies past,
And keep their hearts with care;
Their lips and lives, without deceit,
Shall prove their faith sincere.
While I concealed my guilt,
I felt the fest'ring wound;
Till I confessed my sins to thee,
And ready pardon found.
Let sinners learn to pray,
Let saints keep near the throne;
Our help, in times of deep distress,
Is found in God alone.

Happy the man to whom his God
No more imputes his sin,
But, washed in the Redeemer's blood,
Hath made his garments clean!
Happy beyond expression he
Whose debts are thus discharged;
And from the guilty bondage free,
He feels his soul enlarged.
His spirit hates deceit and lies,
His words are all sincere;
He guards his heart, he guards his eyes,
To keep his conscience clear.
While I my inward guilt suppressed,
No quiet could I find;
Thy wrath lay burning in my breast,
And racked my tortured mind.
Then I confessed my troubled thoughts,
My secret sins revealed;
Thy pard'ning grace forgave my faults,
Thy grace my pardon sealed.
This shall invite thy saints to pray;
When like a raging flood
Temptations rise, our strength and stay
Is a forgiving God.

Blest is the man, for ever blest,
Whose guilt is pardoned by his God;
Whose sins with sorrow are confessed,
And covered with his Savior's blood.
Blest is the man to whom the Lord
Imputes not his iniquities;
He pleads no merit of reward,
And not on works, but grace relies.
From guile his heart and lips are free;
His humble joy, his holy fear,
With deep repentance well agree,
And join to prove his faith sincere.
How glorious is that righteousness
That hides and cancels all his sins,
While a bright evidence of grace
Through his whole life appears and shine!

While I keep silence, and conceal
My heavy guilt within my heart,
What torments doth my conscience feel!
What agonies of inward smart!
I spread my sins before the Lord,
And all my secret faults confess;
Thy gospel speaks a pard'ning word,
Thine Holy Spirit seals the grace.
For this shall every humble soul
Make swift addresses to thy seat;
When floods of huge temptations roll,
There shall they find a bless'd retreat.
How safe beneath thy wings I lie,
When days grow dark and storms appear;
And when I walk, thy watchful eye
Shall guide me safe from every snare.

With the purest of gold he is crowned;
When He asked of Thee life Thou hast made Him to live
While the ages shall circle around.
3 Thro' salvation from Thee hat His fame spread abroad,
Thou didst glory and honor impart;
Thou hast made Him most blessed forever, O God,
And Thy presence hat gladdened His heart.

Did unwavering confidence place;
On the Name of Jehovah He still will rely,
And shall stand evermore in His grace.

All Thy foes and their offspring shall fall;
By the evil they planned and the craft they employed
They shall never against Thee prevail.
6 Thou wilt speedily make them turn backward in flight,
When Thy arrows are aimed to destroy.
O Jehovah, be Thou far exalted in might,
And Thy pow'r shall our praises employ.
