Exhortation to Peace and Holiness

Appears in 52 hymnals First Line: Come, children, learn to fear the Lord Lyrics: 1 Come, children, learn to fear the Lord, And that your days be long, Let not a false or spiteful word Be found upon your tongue. 2 Depart from mischief, practice love, Pursue the works of peace; So shall the Lord your ways approve, And set your souls at ease. 3 His eyes awake to guard the just, His ears attend their cry; When broken spirits dwell in dust, The God of grace is nigh. 4 What tho' the sorrows here they taste Are sharp and tedious too, The Lord, who saves them all at last, Is their supporter now. 5 Evil shall smite the wicked dead; But God secures his own, Prevents the mischief when they slide, Or heals the broken bone. 6 When desolation like a flood O'er the proud sinner rolls, Saints find a refuge in their God, For he redeem'd their souls.

Charity to the Poor; or Pity to the Afflicted

Appears in 86 hymnals First Line: Blest is the man, whose breast can move Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man, whose breast can move, And melt with pity to the poor, Whose soul, by sympathizing love, Feels what his fellow-saints endure. 2 His heart contrives for their relief. More good than his own hands can do; He in the time of general grief Shall find the Lord has mercy too. 3 His soul shall live secure on earth, With secret blessings on his head, When drouth, and pestilence, and death, Around him multiply their dead. 4 Or if he languish on his couch God will pronounce his sins forgiven, Will save him with a healing touch, Or take his willing soul to heaven.

Christ's Commission

Appears in 170 hymnals First Line: Come, happy souls, approach your God Lyrics: 1 Come, happy souls, approach your God, With new melodious songs; Come, tender to almighty grace The tribute of your tongues. 2 So strange, so boundless was the love That pity'd dying men, The Father sent his equal Son To give them life again. 3 Thy hands, my Saviour, were not arm'd With a revenging rod; No hard commission to perform The vengeance of a God. 4 But all was mercy — all was love And wrath forsook the throne; When Christ descended from above, And brought salvation down. Scripture: John 3:16-17

The different Success of the Gospel

Appears in 117 hymnals First Line: Christ and his cross are all our theme Lyrics: 1 Christ and his cross are all our theme; The myst'ries that we speak, Are scandal in the Jews esteem, And folly to the Greek: 2 But souls, enlightened from above, With joy receive the word; They see what wisdom, power, and love, Shine in their dying Lord. 3 The vital savor of his name Restores their fainting breath; But unbelief perverts the same To guilt, despair, and death. 4 'Till God diffuse his graces down, Like showers of heavenly rain, In vain Apollos sows the ground, And Paul may plant in vain. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:23-24

The Way and End of the Righteous and the Wicked

Appears in 102 hymnals First Line: Blest is the man who shuns the place Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man who shuns the place, Where sinners love to meet; Who fears to tread their wicked ways, And hates the scoffer’s seat. 2 But in the statutes of the Lord, Has plac'd his chief delight; By day he reads or hears the word, And meditates by night. 3 [He like a plant of generous kind, By living waters set, Safe from the storms and blasting wind, Enjoys a peaceful state.] 4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair Shall his profession shine; While fruits of holiness appear Like clusters on the vine. 5 Not so the impious and unjust; What vain designs they form! Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm. 6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand Among the sons of grace, When Christ the Judge at his right-hand Appoints his saints a place. 7 His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well; But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell.
