Loving kindness of God

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #XVI (1790) First Line: Awake, my soul, in joyful lays Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays, And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise He justly claims a song from me, His loving kindness O how free! 2 He saw me ruin'd in the fall, Yet loved notwithstanding all; He sav'd me from my lost estate His loving kindness O how great! 3 Often I feel my sinful heart, Prone from my JESUS to depart; But tho' I have him oft' forgot, His loving kindness changes not. 4 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, Soon all my mortal powers must fail Oh! may my last expiring breath, His loving kindness sing in death. 5 Then let me mount and soar away, To the bright worlds of endless day, And sing with rapture and surprise, His loving kindness in the skies.

Christ' Resurrection

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCLXXVI (1790) First Line: Awake our drowsy Souls Lyrics: 1 Awake, our drowsy Souls, Shake off each slothful band, The wonders of this day Our noblest songs demand, Auspicious morn! thy blissful rays, Bright seraphs hail in song of praise. 2 At thy approaching dawn, Reluctant death resign'd The glorious Prince of life, In dark domains confin'd Th' angelic host around him bends, And 'midst their shouts, the God ascends. 3 All hail, triumphant Lord, Heaven with Hosannas rings; While earth, in humbler strains, Thy praise responsive sings: Worthy art thou, who once wast slain, Through endless years to live and reign. 4 Make bare thy potent arm, And wing th' unerring dart, With salutary pangs, To each rebellious heart: Then dying souls for life shall sue, Numerous as drops of morning dew.

Christ's Intercession

Author: Toplady Hymnal: SPHP1790 #LXIII (1790) 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." 5 Eternal life, at his request, To every saint is given: Safety on Earth, and, after death, The plenitude of Heaven.

A prayer

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CLIV (1790) First Line: Be with me, Lord, where'ere I go Lyrics: 1 Be with me, Lord, where'ere I go; Learn me what thou would'st have me do: Suggest whate'ere I think or say; Direct me in the narrow way. 2 Prevent me, lest I harbour pride; Lest I in my own strength confide; Shew me my weakness let me see, I have my pow'r my All from thee, 3 Enrich me always with thy love; My kind protector ever prove; Thy signet put upon my brest; And let thy Spirit on me rest. 4 Assist, and teach me how to pray; Incline my nature to obey, What thou abhor'st, that let me flee, And only love what pleases thee. 5 O may I never do my will, But thine, and only thine fulfill; Let all my time and all my ways, Be spent and ended in thy praise.

Exhorting to worship

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #XIX (1790) First Line: Before JEHOVAH's awful throne Lyrics: 1 Before JEHOVAH's awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create and he destroy. 2 His sov'reign pow'r without our aid, Made us of clay, and form'd us men And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd, He brought us to his fold again. 3 We'll croud thy gates with thankful songs High as the heav'ns our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 4 Wide as the world is thy command; Vast as eternity thy love; Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

Ministers abounding in the work of the Lord

Author: Francis Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCV (1790) First Line: Before thy throne, eternal King Lyrics: 1 Before thy throne eternal King, Thy ministers their tribute bring, Their tribute of united praise, For heav'nly news and peaceful days. 2 We sing the conquest of thy sword, And publish loud thy healing word: While angels sound thy glorious name, Thy saving grace our lips proclaim. 3 Thy various service we esteem, Our sweet employ, our bliss supreme; And, while we feel thy heav'nly love, We burn like seraphim above. 4 Nor seraphs there can ever raise, With us, an equal song of praise: They are the noblest work of GOD, But we the purchase of his blood. 5 Still in thy work would we abound; Still prune the vine, or plow the ground Thy sheep with wholesom pasture fee, And watch them with unwearied heed. 6 Thou art our LORD, our life our love Our care below, our crown above: thy praise shall be our blest employ, Thy presence our eternal joy.

Lord's day Morning

Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCXXXVII (1790) First Line: Behold the morning sun Lyrics: 1 Behold, the morning sun, Begins his glorious way; His beams through all the nations run, And life and light convey. 2 But where the gospel comes, It spreads diviner light; It calls dead sinners from their tombs, And gives the blind their sight. 3 How perfect is thy word! And all thy judgements just; For ever sure thy promise, LORD, And men securely trust. 4 My gracious GOD, how plain Are thy directions giv'n! O may I never read in vain, But find the path to heav'n!

Choosing the better part

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CXXIX (1790) First Line: Beset with snares on every hand Lyrics: 1 Beset with snares on every hand, In life’s uncertain path I stand: Saviour divine, diffuse thy light, To guide my doubtful footsteps right. 2 Engage this roving treacherous heart, To fix on Mary's better part; To scorn the trifles of a day, For joys, that none can take away. 3 Then let the wildest storms arise: Let tempests mingle earth and skies; No fatal shipwreck shall I fear, But all my treasures with me bear. 4 If thou, my JESUS, still be nigh, Cheerful I live, and joyful die; Secure, when mortal comforts flee, To find ten thousand worlds in thee.

Blessing God

Author: Watts Hymnal: SPHP1790 #XV (1790) First Line: Bless, O my soul, the living God Lyrics: 1 Bless O my soul, the living God Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad Let all the pow'rs within me join, In work and worship so divine. 2 Bless, O my soul, the God of grace; His favours claim thy highest praise Why should the wonders he hath wrought Be lost in silence, and forgot? 3 'Tis he, my soul, that sent his Son To die for crimes which thou hast done He owns the ransom, and forgives, The hourly follies of our lives. 4 Our youth decay'd his pow'r repairs; His mercy crowns our growing years He satisfies our mouths with good, And fills our hopes with heav'nly food. 5 Let the whole earth his pow'r confess, Let the whole earth adore his grace, The Gentile with the Jew shall join In work and worship so divine.
