Children of the heavenly King
Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,184 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
Children of the heavenly King,
As we journey let us sing;
Sing our Savior's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.
2.
Ye are traveling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
Used With Tune: IONIA (Belcher)
Children of the heavenly King
When Gabriel's awful trump shall sound
Meter: 8.8.8.7.8.8.3.3.3.3.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
When Gabriel's awful trump shall sound,
And rend the rocks, convulse the ground,
And give to time her utmost bound,
Ye dead, arise to judgment;
See lightnings flash and thunders roll,
See earth wrapped up like parchment scroll;
Comets blaze,
Sinners raise,
Dread amaze,
Horrors seize
The guilty sons of Adam's race,
Unsaved from sin by Jesus.
2.
The Christian filled with rapturous joy,
Midst flaming worlds he mounts on high,
To meet the Savior in the sky,
And see the face of Jesus;
The soul and body reunite,
And filled with glory infinity,
Blessed day,
Christians say!
Will you pray,
That we may
All join the happy company,
To praise the name of Jesus.
Used With Tune: MISSISSIPPI

1.
Will God for ever cast us off?
His wrath for ever smoke
Against the people of his love,
His little chosen flock?

Will God for ever cast us off?
Approach, my soul, the mercy seat
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 613 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
Approach, my soul, the mercy seat,
Where Jesus answers prayer;
There humbly fall before his feet,
For none can perish there.
2.
Thy promise is my only plea,
With this I venture nigh;
Thou callest burdened souls to thee,
And such, O Lord, am I.
3.
Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By Satan sorely pressed,
By wars without, and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.
4.
Be thou my shield and hiding place,
That, sheltered near thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
And tell him, Thou hast died.
5.
O wondrous love! to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead thy gracious name!
6.
"Poor tempest tossed soul, be still;
My promised grace receive;"
'Tis Jesus speaks—I must, I will,
I can, I do believe.
Used With Tune: PETERBOROUGH Text Sources: Baptist Harmony, p. 2
Approach, my soul, the mercy seat
My God, my life, my love
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 366 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
My God, my life, my love,
To thee, to thee I call;
I cannot live if thou remove,
For thou art all in all.
2.
Thy shining grace can cheer
This dungeon where I dwell;
'Tis paradise when thou art here;
If thou depart, 'tis hell.
3.
The smilings of thy face,
How amiable they are!
'Tis heaven to rest in thine embrace,
And no where else but there.
4.
To thee, and thee alone,
The angels owe their bliss;
They sit around thy gracious throne,
And dwell where Jesus is.
5.
Not all the bliss harps above
Could make a heavenly place,
If God his residence remove,
Or but conceal his face.
6.
Nor earth, nor all the sky,
Can one delight afford,
No, not a drop of real joy,
Without thy presence, Lord.
7.
Thou art the sea of love,
Where all my pleasures roll:
The circle where my passions move,
And center of my soul.
8.
To thee my spirits fly
With infinite desire,
And yet how far from thee I lie!
Dear Jesus, raise me higher.

My God, my life, my love
Salvation! O the joyful sound!
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 840 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
Salvation! O the joyful sound!
'Tis pleasure to our ears!
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.
2.
Buried 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.
Used With Tune: PRIMROSE
Salvation! O the joyful sound!
Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,441 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
2.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
3.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
4.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
5.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
6.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
Used With Tune: NEW BRITAIN
Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
How tedious and tasteless the hours
Meter: 8.8.8. Appears in 648 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
How tedious and tasteless the hours
When Jesus no longer I see;
Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers,
Have all lost their sweetness to me;
The midsummer sun shines but dim,
The fields strive in vain to look gay;
But when I am happy in him,
December's as pleasant as May.
2.
His name yields the richest perfume,
And sweeter than music his voice;
His presence disperses my gloom,
And makes all within me rejoice;
I should, were he always thus nigh,
Have nothing to wish or to fear;
No mortal so happy as I,
My summer would last all the year.
3.
Content with beholding his face,
My all to his pleasure resigned,
No changes of season or place
Would make any change in my mind:
While blest with a sense of his love,
A palace a toy would appear;
And prisons would palaces prove,
If Jesus would dwell with me there.
4.
Dear Lord, if indeed I am thine,
If thou art my sun and my song,
Say, why do I languish and pine?
And why are my winters so long?
O drive these dark clouds from my sky,
Thy soul cheering presence restore;
Or take me to thee up on high,
Where winter and clouds are no more.

Come, humble sinner, in whose breast
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 704 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
Come, humble sinner, in whose breast
A thousand thoughts revolve,
Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,
And make this last resolve.
2.
I'll go to Jesus, though my sin
Hath like a mountain rose;
I know his courts, I'll enter in,
Whatever may oppose.
Used With Tune: SALVATION
Come, humble sinner, in whose breast
My soul, be on thy guard
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,371 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
My soul, be on thy guard;
Ten thousand foes arise;
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.
2.
O watch, and fight, and pray;
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.
3.
Ne'er think the victory won,
Nor once at ease sit down;
The arduous work will not be done,
Till thou hast got the crown.
4.
Fight on, my soul, till death
Shall bring thee to thy God;
He'll take thee, at thy parting breath,
Up to his rest above.
Used With Tune: LUTHER
My soul, be on thy guard
