The Lord's Day; or, The Resurrection of Christ

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #XLIV (1787) First Line: Blest morning, whose young, dawning rays Lyrics: 1 Blest morning, whose young dawning rays Beheld our rising God; That saw him triumph o'er the dust, And leave his dark abode! 2 In the cold prison of a tomb The dead Redeemer lay; 'Till the revolving skies had brought The third, th' appointed day. 3 Hell, and the grave, unite their force To hold our God in vain; The sleeping Conqueror arose, And burst their feeble chain. 4 To thy great name, almighty Lord, These sacred hours we pay; And loud Hosannas shall proclaim The triumph of the day.

The World's Three chief Temptations

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #XLIX (1787) First Line: When, in the light of faith divine Lyrics: 1 When, in the light of faith divine, We look on things below, Honour, and gold, and sensual joy, How vain and dangerous too. 2 Honour's a puff of noisy breath; Yet men expose their blood, And venture everlasting death, To gain that airy good. 3 Whilst others starve the nobler mind, And feed on shining dust; They rob the serpent of his food, T' indulge a sordid lust. 4 The pleasures which allure the sense, Are dangerous snares to souls; There's but a drop of flattering sweet, And dash'd with bitter bowls. 5 God is mine all-sufficient good, My portion, and my choice; In him my vast desires are fill'd, And all my powers rejoice. 6 In vain the world accosts my ear, And tempts my heart anew; I cannot buy your bliss so dear, Nor part with heaven for you.

'Tis pleasure to our ears; A sovereign balm for every wound, A cordial for our fears. 2 Bury'd in sorrow, and in sin, At hell's dark door we lay: But we arise, by grace divine, To see a heavenly day. 3 Salvation! let the echo fly The spacious earth around, While all the armies of the sky Conspire to raise the sound.

Look on him when they pierced, and mourn

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #XLVII (1787) First Line: Infinite grief, amazing woe Lyrics: 1 Infinite grief! amazing woe! Behold my bleeding Lord! Hell and the Jews conspire his death, And use the Roman sword. 2 Oh! the sharp pangs of smarting pain My dear Redeemer bore, When knotty whips, and ragged thorns, His sacred body tore! 3 But knotty whips, and ragged thorns, In vain do I accuse; In vain I blame the Roman bands, And more insulting Jews: 4 'Twere you, my sins, my cruel sins, His chief tormentors were; Each of my crimes became a nail; And unbelief — the spear. 5 'Twere you that pull'd the vengeance down Upon his guiltless head: Break, break, my heart — Oh, burst mine eyes, And let my sorrows bleed! 6 Strike, mighty grace, my flinty soul, Till melting waters flow; And deep repentance drown mine eyes In undissembled woe!

The Book of God's Decrees

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #XLVIII (1787) First Line: Let all the race of creatures lie Lyrics: 1 Let all the race of creatures lie Abas'd before their God: Whate'er his sovereign voice has form'd He governs with a nod. 2 Ten thousand ages ere the skies Were into motion brought; All the long years and worlds to come Stood present to his thought. 3 If light attend the course I run, 'Tis he provides the rays; And 'tis his hand that hides the sun, If darkness cloud my days. 4 Yet I would not too far enquire, Nor vainly long to see In volumes of his deep decrees, What lines are mark'd for me. 5 When he reveals the book of life, Oh, may I read my name Among the chosen of his love, The followers of the Lamb.

Regeneration

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #XV (1787) First Line: Not all the outward forms on earth Lyrics: 1 Not all the outward forms on earth, Nor rites that God has given, Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth, Can raise a soul to heaven. 2 The sovereign will of God, alone Creates us heirs of grace; Born in the image of his Son, A new peculiar race. 3 The spirit, like some heavenly wind, Blows on the sons of flesh; Creates anew the carnal mind, And forms the man afresh. 4 Our quickened souls awake — and rise From the long sleep of death; On heavenly things we fix our eyes, And praise employs our breath.

Conviction of sin by the law

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #XVIII (1787) First Line: Lord, how secure my conscience lay Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my conscience lay, And felt no inward dread; I liv'd awhile without the law, And thought my sins were dead. 2 My hopes of heaven were firm and bright, But since the precept came I stand convicted by its light, I find how vile I am. 3 I'm like a helpless captive sold, Beneath the power of sin; I cannot do the good I would, Nor keep my conscience clean. 4 My God, I'll cry with every breath, For some kind power to save, To break the yoke of sin and death, And thus redeem the slave.
