Psalmodia Germanica ‎#10

10. Come, let us All, with Fervour

I. Come, let us All, with Fervour,
On whom Heav'n's Mercies shine,
To our Supreme Preserver
In tuneful Praises join.
Another Year is gone;
Of which the tender Mercies
(Each pious Heart rehearses)
Demand a grateful Song.

II. Tell o'er, with true Devotion,
The Wonders of his Grace:
Let no polluting Notion
Our Gratitude deface.
But still remember well,
That this Year's Renovation
Renews our Obligation
To fight 'gainst Sin and Hell.

III. His Grace is still Preserving
Our Peace in Church and State;
His Love is never swerving,
In Spite of Satan's Hate.
Dispens'd with open Hand,
His Blessings on this Nation
Still ward off Desolation,
And save a sinful Land.

IV. 'Tis his eternal Kindness
That spares us from the Rod.
Tho' long our wilful Blindness
Has sore' provok'd our God
To pour his Vengeance down;
Yet still his Grace provides us;
And still his Mercy hides us
From his own dreadful Frown.

V. The Source of all Compassion
Pities our feeble frame,
When turning from Transgression
We come in Jesus' Name,
Before his holy Face;
Then ev'ry sinful Motion
Is cast into the Ocean
Of never-failing Grace.

VI. To Christ our Peace is owing:
Through him thou art appeas'd.
Through him thy Love's still flowing:
O! wilt Thou then be pleas'd,
Throught Christ, thy Grace to send,
In all its Strength and Beauty,
To keep us in our Duty,
'Till these frail Days shall end.
