While Shepherds watch'd their Flocks by Night

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #HXXVI (1760) Lyrics: 1 While Shepherds watch'd their Flocks by Night, all seated on the Ground, The Angel of the Lord came down, and Glory shone around. 2 "Fear not," said he (for mighty Dread had seiz'd their troubled Mind,) "Glad Tidings of great Joy I bring "to you and all Mankind. 3 "To you in David's Town this Day "is born of David's Line, "The Saviour who is Christ the Lord; "And this shall be the Sign. 4 "The heav'nly Babe, you there shall find "to human View display'd, "All meanly wrapt in swathing bands, "and in a Manger laid. 5 Thus spake the Seraph, and forthwith appear'd a shining Throng Of Angels, praising God, and thus addrest their joyful Song: 6 "All Glory be to God on High; "and to the Earth be Peace; "Good-will henceforth from Heav'n to Men, "begin and never cease.

Who has believ'd thy Word

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #HLXII (1760) Lyrics: 1 Who has believ'd thy Word, or thy Salvation known? Reveal thine Arm, almighty Lord, and glorify thy Son. 2 The Jews esteem'd Him here too mean for their Belief; Sorrows his chief Acquaintance were, and his Companion, Grief. 3 They turn'd their Eyes away, and treated Him with Scorn; But 'twas their Griefs upon Him lay, their Sorrows He has borne. 4 'Twas for the stubborn Jews, and Gentiles then unknown, The God of Justice pleas'd to bruise his best-beloved Son. 5 "But I'll prolong his Days, "and make his Kingdom stand; "My Pleasure, (saith the God of Grace) "shall prosper in his Hand. 6 "His joyful Soul shall see "the Purchase of his Pain "And by his Knowledge justify "the guilty Sons of Men. 7 "Ten thousand captive Slaves, "releas'd from Death and Sin, "Shall quit their Prisons and their Graves, "and own his Pow'r divine. 8 "Heav'n shall advance my Son "to Joys that Earth deny'd; "Who saw the Follies Men had done, "and bore their Sins, and dy'd." Scripture: Isaiah 53:1-5 Languages: English

Who is this fair One in Distress

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #HXLVIII (1760) Lyrics: 1 Who is this fair One in Distress, That travels from the Wilderness? And press'd with Sorrows and with Sins, On her beloved Lord she leans. 2 This is the Spouse of Christ our God, Bought with the Treasures of his Blood: And her Request, and her Complaint, Is but the Voice of ev'ry Saint. 3 "O let my Name engraven stand "Both on thy Heart and on thy Hand; "Seal me upon thine Arm, and wear "That Pledge of Love for ever there. 4 "Stronger than Death thy Love is known, "Which Floods of Wrath could never drown; "And Hell and Earth in vain combine "To quench a Fire so much divine. 5 "But I am jealous of my Heart, "Lest it should once from Thee depart; "Then let thy Name be well impress'd "As a fair Signet on my Breast. 6 "Till Thou hast brought me to thy Home, "Where Fears and Doubts can never come, "Thy Count'nance let me often see, "And often Thou shalt hear from me. 7 "Come, my Beloved, haste away, "Cut short the Hours of thy Delay; "Fly like a youthful Hart or Roe "Over the Hills where Spices grow. Scripture: Song of Solomon 8:5-7 Languages: English

Who place on Sion's God their Trust

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #CXXV (1760) Lyrics: 1 Who place on Sion's God their Trust, like Sion's Rock shall stand; Like her immoveably be fixt by his almighty Hand. 2 Look how the Hills on ev'ry Side Jerusalem inclose, So stands the Lord around his Saints, to guard them from their Foes. 3 The Wicked may afflict the Just, but ne'er too long oppress, Nor force him by Despair to seek base Means for his Redress. 4 Be good, O righteous God, to those who righteous Deeds affect: The Heart that Innocence retains, let Innocence protect. 5 All those who walk in crooked Paths, the Lord shall soon destroy; Cut off th' Unjust, but crown the Saints with lasting Peace and Joy. Scripture: Psalm 125 Languages: English

Who shall the Lord's elect condemn

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #HXXXVI (1760) Lyrics: 1 Who shall the Lord's Elect condemn? 'Tis God that justifies their Souls, And Mercy like a mighty Stream, O'er all their Sins divinely rolls. 2 Who shall adjudge the Saints to Hell? 'Tis Christ that suffer'd in their Stead, And, the Salvation to fulfil Behold Him rising from the Dead. 3 He lives! He lives! and sits above, For ever interceding there; Who shall divide us from his Love, Or what should tempt us to despair? 4 Shall Persecution, or Distress, Famine, or Sword, or Nakedness? He that hath lov'd us bears us thro', And makes us more than Conqu'rors too. 5 Faith hath an over-coming Power, It triumphs in the dying Hour; Christ is our Life, our Joy, our Hope, Nor can we sink with such a Prop. 6 Not all that Men on Earth can do, Nor Pow'rs on high, nor Pow'rs below, Shall cause his Mercy to remove, Or wean our Hearts from Christ our Love. Scripture: Romans 8:33-39 Languages: English

Whom should I fear, since God to me

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #XXVII (1760) Lyrics: 1 Whom should I fear, since God to me is saving Health and Light? Since strongly He my Life supports, what can my Soul affright? 2 With fierce Intent my Flesh to tear, when Foes beset me round, They stumbled, and their lofty Crests were made to strike the Ground. 3 Thro' Him, my Heart undaunted dares with num'rous Hosts to cope; Thro' Him in doubtful Streights of War for good Success I hope. 4 Henceforth within his House to dwell I earnestly desire; His wondrous Beauty there to view, and His blest Will inquire. 5 For there may I with Comfort rest, in Times of deep Distress; And safe as on a Rock abide in that secure Recess: 6 Whilst God o'er all my haughty Foes my lofty Head shall raise; And I my joyful Off'ring bring, and sing glad Songs of Praise. Part II 7 Continue, Lord, to hear my Voice, whene'er to Thee I cry; In Mercy all my Prayers receive, nor my Request deny. 8 When us to seek thy glorious Face Thou kindly dost advise; "Thy glorious Face I'll always seek," my grateful Heart replies. 9 Then hide not Thou thy Face, O Lord, nor me in Wrath reject: My God and Saviour, leave not him thou didst so oft protect. 10 Tho' all my Friends and nearest Kin, their helpless Charge forsake; Yet Thou, whose Love excels them all, wilt Care and Pity take. 11 Instruct me in thy Paths, O Lord; my Ways directly guide; Lest envious Men who watch my Steps, should see me tread aside. 12 Lord, disappoint my cruel Foes; defeat their ill desire, Whose lying Lips, and bloody Hands, against my Peace conspire. 13 I trusted that my future Life should with thy Love be crown'd, Or else my fainting Soul had sunk, with Sorrow compass'd round. 14 God's Time with patient Faith expect, and He'll inspire thy Breast With inward Strength: Do thou thy Part, and leave to Him the rest. Scripture: Psalm 27 Languages: English

Why hast Thou cast us off, O God

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #LXXIV (1760) Lyrics: 1 Why hast Thou cast us off, O God? wilt Thou no more return? Oh! why against thy chosen Flock does thy fierce Anger burn? 2 Think on thy ancient Purchase, Lord, the Land that is thy own, By Thee redeem'd; and Sion's Mount, where once thy Glory shone. 3 Oh, come and view our ruin'd State! how long our Troubles last! See how the Foe with wicked Rage has laid thy Temple waste! 4 Thy Foes blaspheme thy Name: where late thy zealous Servants pray'd, The Heathen there, with haughty Pomp, their Banners have display'd. 5,6 Those curious Carvings, which did once advance the Artists Fame, With Ax and Hammer they destroy, like Works of vulgar Frame. 7 Thy holy Temple they have burnt; and what escap'd the Flame, Has been profan'd, and quite defac'd, tho' sacred to thy Name. 8 Thy Worship wholly to destroy maliciously they aim'd; And all the sacred Places burn'd, where we thy Praise proclaim'd. 9 Yet of they Presence Thou vouchsaf'st no tender Signs to send: We have no Prophet now, that knows when this sad State shall end. Part II 10 But, Lord, how long wilt Thou permit th' insulting foe to boast? Shall all the Honour of thy Name for evermore be lost? 11 Why hold'st Thou back thy strong Right-hand, and on thy patient Breast, When Vengeance calls to stretch it forth, so calmly lett'st it rest? 12 Thou heretofore, with Kingly Pow'r, in our Defence hast fought; For us, throughout the wond'ring World, hast great Salvation wrought. 13 'Twas Thou, O God, that didst the Sea, by thy own Strength, divide: Thou brak'st the wat'ry Monsters Head, the Waves o'erwhelm'd their Pride. 14 The greatest,fiercest of them all that seem'd the Deep to sway, Was by thy Pow'r destroy'd, and made to savage Beasts a Prey. 15 Thou clav'st the solid Rock, and mad'st the Waters largely flow; Again, Thou mad'st, thro' parting Streams, thy wond'ring People go. 16 Thine is the chearful Day, and thine the black Return of Night; Thou hast prepar'd the glorious Sun, and ev'ry feebler Light. 17 By Thee the Borders of the Earth in perfect Order stand: The Summer's Warmth, and Winter's Cold, attend on thy Command. Part III 18 Remember, Lord, how scornful Foes have daily urg'd our Shame; And how the foolish People have blasphem'd thy holy Name. 19 O, free thy mourning Turtle-dove, by sinful Crouds beset; Nor the Assembly of thy Poor for evermore forget. 20 Thy antient Cov'nant, Lord, regard, and make thy Promise good; For now each Corner of the Land is fill'd with Men of Blood. 21 O let not the Oppress'd return, with Sorrow cloath'd, and Shame; But let the Helpless and the Poor for ever praise thy Name. 22 Arise, O God, in our Behalf; thy Cause and ours maintain: Remember how insulting Fools each Day thy Name profane! 23 Make Thou the Boastings of thy Foes for ever, Lord, to cease; Whose Insolence, if unchastiz'd, will more and more increase. Scripture: Psalm 74 Languages: English

With chearful Notes let all the Earth

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #CXVII (1760) Lyrics: 1 With chearful Notes let all the Earth to haav'n their Voices raise: Let all, inspir'd with godly Mirth, sing solemn Hymns of Praise. 2 God's tender Mercy knows no Bound, his Truth shall ne'er decay; Then let the willing Nations round, their grateful Tribute pay. Scripture: Psalm 117 Languages: English

With Joy we meditate the Grace

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #HLVIII (1760) Lyrics: 1 With Joy we meditate the Grace of our High-Priest above; His Heart is made of Tenderness, his Bowels melt with Love. 2 Touch'd with a Sympathy within, he knows our feeble Frame; He knows what sore Temptations mean, for he hath felt the same. 3 But spotless, innocent and pure the great Redeemer stood, While Stan's fiery Darts he bore, and did resist to Blood. 4 He in the Days of feeble Flesh pour'd out his Cries and Tears, And in his Measure feels afresh what every Member bears. 5 He'll never quench the smoaking Flax, but raise it to a Flame; The bruised Reed he never breaks, nor scorns the meanest Name. 6 Then let our humble Faith address his Mercy and his Pow'r, We shall obtain deliv'ring Grace in the distressing Hour. Scripture: Hebrews 4:15-16 Languages: English

With my whole Heart, my God and King

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #CXXXVIII (1760) Lyrics: 1 With my whole Heart, my God and King, thy Praise I will proclaim; Before the Gods with Joy I'll sing, and bless thy holy Name. 2 I'll worship at thy sacred Seat; and with thy Love inspir'd, The Praises of thy Truth repeat, o'er all thy Works admir'd. 3 Thou graciously inclin'dst thine Ear, when I to Thee did cry; And when my Soul was press'd with Fear, didst inward Strength supply. 4 Therefore shall ev'ry earthly Prince thy Name with Praise pursue, Whom these admir'd Events convince that all thy Works are true. 5 They all thy wond'rous Ways, O Lord, with chearful Songs shall bless; and all thy glorious Acts record, thy awful Pow'r confess. 6 For God, altho' enthron'd on high, does thence the poor respect; The proud far off, his scornful Eye beholds with just Neglect. 7 Tho' I with Troubles am oppress'd, he shall my Foes disarm, Relieve my Soul when most distress'd, and keep me safe from Harm. 8 The Lord, whose Mercies ever last, shall fix my happy State; And mindful of his Favours past, shall his own Work compleat. Scripture: Psalm 138 Languages: English
