Come, we that love the Lord

Appears in 1,799 hymnals Lyrics: [1 Come, we that love the Lord, And let your Joys be known; Join in a Song with sweet Accord, And thus surround the Throne. 2 The Sorrows of the Mind Be banish'd from the Place! Religion never was design'd To make our Pleasure less.] 3 Let those refuse to sing That never knew our God, But Fav'rites of the Heav'nly King May speak their Joys abroad. [4 The God that rules on high, And thunders when he please, That rides upon the stormy Sky, And manages the Seas.] 5 This awful God is ours, Our Father and our Love, Thou shall send down his heav'nly Pow'rs To carry us above. 6 There we shall see his Face, And never, never sin; There, from the Rivers of thy Grace, Drink endless Pleasures in. 7 Yes, and before we rise To that immortal State, The Thoughts of such amazing Bliss. Should constant Joys create. 8 The Men of Grace have found Glory begun below; Celestial Fruits on earthly Ground From Faith and Hope may grow. 9 The Hill of Sion yields A thousand sacred Sweets, Before we reach the heav'nly Fields, Or walk the golden Streets. 10 Then let our Songs abound, And ev'ry Tear be dry; We're marching through Immanuel's Ground, To fairer Worlds on high. Topics: Heavenly Joy on Earth; Paradise on Earth; Pleasure of Religion

Come, Holy Spirit, Heav'nly Dove

Appears in 1,220 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, Heav'nly Dove, With all thy quick'ning Pow'rs, Kindle a Flame of sacred Love In these cold Hearts of ours. 2 Look, how we grovel here below, Fond of these trifling Toys; Our Souls can neither fly nor go, To reach eternal Joys. 3 In vain we tune our formal Songs, In vain we strive to rise; Hosannas languish on our Tongues, And our Devotion dies. 4 Dear Lord! and shall we ever lie At this poor dying Rate; Our Love so faint, so cold to thee? And thine to us so great? 4 Come, Holy Spirit, Heav'nly Dove, With all thy quick'ning Pow'rs, Come, shed abroad a Saviour's Love, And that shall kindle ours.

Death cannot make our Souls afraid

Appears in 101 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Death cannot make our Souls afraid, If God be with us there; We may walk through its darkest Shade, And never yield to fear. 2 I could renounce my All below, If my Creator bid, And run, if I was call'd to go, And die as Moses did. 3 Might I but climb to Pisgah's Top, And view the promis'd Land, My Flesh itself should long to drop, And pray for the Command. 4 Clasp'd in my heav'nly Father's Arms, I would forget my Breath, And lose my Life among the Charms Of so divine a Death. Topics: God's Presence in Death; Moses dying

Now let the Lord my Saviour smile

Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now let the Lord my Saviour smile, And shew my Name upon his Heart; I would forget my Pains a while, And in the Pleasure lose the Smart. 2 But, oh! it swells my Sorrows high To see my blessed Jesus frown; My Spirits sink, my Comforts die, And all the Springs of Love are down. 3 Yet why, my Soul, why these Complaints? Still while he frowns his Bowels move; Still on his Heart he bears his Saints, And feels their Sorrows and his Love. 4 My Name is printed on his Breast; His Book of Life contains my Name; I'd rather have it there imprest, Than in the bright Records of Fame. 5 When the last Fire burns all Things here, Those Letters shall securely stand, And in the Lamb's fair Book appear, Writ by th' Eternal Father's Hand. 6 Now shall my Minutes smoothly run, Whilst here I wait my Father's Will; My rising and my setting Sun Roll gently up and down the Hill.

Lord, how secure and blest are they

Appears in 201 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure and blest are they, Who feel the Joys of pardon'd Sin; Should Storms of Wrath shake Earth and Sea, Their Minds have Heav'n and Peace within. 2 The Day glides sweetly o'er their Heads, Made up of Innocence and Love; And soft and silent as the Shades, Their nightly Minutes gently move. [3 Quick as their Thoughts their Joys come on, But fly not half so swift away, Their Souls are ever bright as Noon, And calm as Summer Ev'nings be. 4 How oft they look to heav'nly Hills, Where Groves of living Pleasure grow, And longing Hopes and chearful Smiles Sit undisturb'd upon their Brow.] 5 They scorn to seek our golden Toys, But spend the Day, and share the Night In numb'ring o'er the richer Joys That Heav'n prepares for their Delight. 6 While wretched we like Worms and Moles Lie grov'ling in the Dust below; Almighty Grace, renew our Souls, And we'll aspire to Glory too. Topics: Heavenly Mindedness; Pleasure of a Good Conscience

Stand up, my Soul, shake off thy Fears

Appears in 374 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Stand up, my Soul, shake off thy Fears, And gird the Gospel Armour on; March to the Gates of endless Joy, Where thy great Captain Saviour's gone. 2 Hell and thy Sins resist thy Course, But Hell and Sins are vanquish'd Foes; Thy Jesus nail'd them to the Cross, And sung the Triumph when he rose. 3 What though the Prince of Darkness rage, And waste the Fury of his Spite; Eternal Chains confine him down To fiery Deeps, and endless Night. 4 What though thine inward Lusts rebel; 'Tis but a struggling Gasp for Life; The Weapons of victorious Grace Shall slay thy Sins, and end the Strife. 5 Then let my Soul march boldly on, Press forward to the heav'nly Gate; There Peace and Joy eternal reign, And glitt'ring Robes for Conqu'rors wait. 6 There shall I wear a starry Crown, And triumph in Almighty Grace; While all the Armies of the Skies Join in my glorious Leader's Praise.

When the first Parents of our Race

Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When the first Parents of our Race Rebell'd, and lost their God, And the Infection of their Sin, Had tainted all our Blood; 2 Infinite Pity touch'd the Heart Of the Eternal SON, Descending from the heav'nly Court, He left his Father's Throne. 3 Aside the Prince of Glory threw His most divine Array, And wrapt his Godhead in a Veil Of our inferior Clay. 5 His living Pow'r and dying Love, Redeem'd unhappy Men, And rais'd the Ruins of our Race To Life and God again. 6 To Thee, dear Lord, our Flesh and Soul We joyfully resign, Blest Jesus, take us for thy own, For we are doubly thine. 7 Thine Honour shall for ever be The Bus'ness of our Days; For ever shall our thankful Tongues Speak thy deserved Praise.

How wond'rous great, how glorious bright

Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How wondrous great, how glorious bright, Must our Creator be, Who dwells amidst the dazzling Light Of vast Infinity! 2 Our soaring Spirits upwards rise Tow'rd the Celestial Throne, Fain would we see the blessed Three, And the Almighty One. 3 Our Reason stretches all its Wings, And climbs above the Skies; But still how far beneath thy Feet Our grov'ling Reason lies! [4 Lord, here we bend our humble Souls, And awfully adore; For the weak Pinions of our Mind Can stretch a Thought no more.] 5 Thy Glories infinitely rise Above our lab'ring Tongue; In vain the highest Seraph tries To form an equal Song. [6 In humble Notes our Faith adores The great mysterious King, While Angels strain their nobler Pow'rs, And sweep th' immortal String.] Topics: Faith and Reason; Glory of God above our Reason; God incomprehensible; Life preserved; Reason feeble

Come, happy Souls, approach your God

Appears in 170 hymnals 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, dear Jesus, were not arme'd With a revenging Rod; No hard Commission to perform The Vengeance of a God. 4 But all was Mercy, all was mild, And Wrath forsook the Throne; When Christ on the kind Errand came, And brought Salvation down. 5 Here, Sinners, you may heal your Wounds, And wipe your Sorrows dry; Trust in the mighty Saviour's Name, And you shall never die. 6 See, dearest Lord, our willing Souls Accept thine offer'd Grace; We bless the great Redeemer's Love, And give the Father Praise. Topics: Christ sent by the Father; Christ His Commission

Come, let us lift our joyful Eyes

Appears in 200 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us lift our joyful Eyes Up to the Court above, And smile to see our Father there Upon a Throne of Love. 2 Once 'twas a Seat of dreadful Wrath, And shot devouring Flame Our God appear'd Consuming Fire, And Vengeance was his Name. 3 Rich were the Drops of Jesus' Blood That calm'd his frowning Face, That sprinkled o'er the burning Throne, And turn'd the Wrath to Grace. 4 Now we may bow before his feet, And venture near the Lord; No fiery Cherub guards his Seat, Nor double-flaming Sword. 5 The peaceful Gates of heav'nly Bliss Are open'd by the Son; High let us raise our Notes of Praise, And reach th' Almighty Throne. 6 To Thee Ten Thousand Thanks we bring, Great Advocate on high; And Glory to th' eternal King, That lays his Fury by.
