The Promis'd Land

Hymnal: CD1791 #LXXIX (1791) First Line: Far from these narrow Scenes of Night Lyrics: 1 Far from these narrow Scenes of Night, Unbounded Glories rise, And Realms of infinite delight, Unknown to Mortal Eyes. 2 There Pain and Sickness never come, And Grief no more complains; Health Triumphs in Immortal Bloom, And endless Pleasure reigns. 3 No Cloud those blissful Regions know, For ever bright and fair! For Sin, the source of mortal Woe, Can never enter there. 4 There no alternate Night is known, Nor Sun's faint sickly Ray; But Glory from the sacred Throne Spreads everlasting Day. 5 O may the heav'nly Prospect fire Our Hearts with ardent Love, Till Wings of Faith, and strong Desire Bear ev'ry Thought above. 6 Prepare us, Lord, by Grace Divine For thy bright Courts on High; Then bid our Spirits rise and join The Chorus of the Sky.

God glorious, and Sinners saved

Hymnal: CD1791 #LXXV (1791) First Line: Father, how wide thy Glory shines! Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide thy Glory shines! How high thy Wonders rise! Known thro' the Earth by Thousand Signs, By Thousand thro' the Skies. 2 Those mighty Orbs proclaim thy Pow'r, Their Motions speak thy Skill; And on the Wings of ev'ry Hour We read thy Patience still; 3 Part of thy Name divinely Stands On all thy Creatures writ, They shews the Labour of thy hands, The Impress of thy Feet. 4 But when we View thy grand Design To save rebellious Worms, Where Wisdom Pow'r and Goodness shine, In their most glorious Forms; 5 Our Thoughts are lost in rev'rend Awe; We Love, and we adore; Thy holy Angels never saw So much of GOD before. 6 Here GOD hath made his Nature known, And Thought can never trace, Which of his Glories brightest shone, In our Redeemer's Face. 7 O the sweet Myst'ries of that Cross Where Jesus lov'd and dy'd, Her noblest Life my Spirit draws From his dear wounded Side. 8 Now the full Glories of the LAMB Adorn the heav'nly Plains; Sweet Cherubs learn Immanuel's Name, And try their choicest Strains. 9 O may I bear some humble Part In that immortal Song! Wonder and Joy shall tune my Heart, And love command my Tongue. Topics: Being and Perfections of God Languages: English

Father, I stretch my Hands to thee

Hymnal: CD1791 #LXXVI (1791) Lyrics: 1 Father, I stretch my Hands to thee, No other Help I know; If thou withdraw thyself from me, Ah! whither shall I go? 2 What did thine only Son endure, Before I drew my Breath? What Pain, what Labour to secure My Soul from endless Death! 3 O Jesu, could I this believe, I now should feel thy Pow'r; Now my poor Soul thou would'st retrieve Nor let me wait one Hour. 4. Author of Faith, to thee I lift My weary, longing Eyes: O let me now receive that Gift! My Soul without it dies! Topics: Supplicatory Hymns Languages: English

Queen of Sheba

Hymnal: CD1791 #LXXXI (1791) First Line: From Sheba a distant Report Lyrics: 1 From Sheba a distant Report Of Solomon's Glory and Fame, Invited the Queen to his Court, But all was outdone when she came; She cry'd with a Pleasing Surprize, When first she before him appear'd, "How much, what I see with my Eyes, "Surpasses the Rumour I heard." 2 When once to Jerusalem come, The Treasure and Train she had brought. The Wealth she possessed at home, No longer had Place in her thought: His House, his Attendants, his Throne, All struck her with Wonder and Awe; The Glory of Solomon shone, In every Object she saw. 3 But Solomon most she admir'd, Whose Spirit conducted the Whole; His Wisdom, which God had inspir'd, His Bounty and Greatness of Soul; Of all the hard Questions she put, A ready Solution he shew'd; Exceeded her Wish and her Suit, And more than she ask'd him bestow'd. 4 Thus I when the Gospel proclaim'd The Saviour's great Name in my Ears, The Wisdom for which he is fam'd, The Love which to Sinners he bears; I long'd, and I was not deny'd, That I in his Presence might bow; I saw, and transported I cry'd, "A greater than Solomon Thou!" 5 My Conscience no Comfort could find, By Doubt and hard Questions oppos'd; But he restor'd Peace to my Mind, And answer'd each Doubt I propos'd! Beholding me poor and Distress'd, His Bounty supply'd all my Wants; My Pray'r could have ne'er express'd So much as this Solomon grants. 6 I heard, and was slow to believe, But now with my Eyes I behold, Much more than my Heart could conceive, Or Language could ever have told: How happy thy Servants must be, Who always before thee appear! Vouchsafe, Lord, this Blessing to me, I find it is good to be here. Topics: Blessedness of the Gospel Scripture: Psalm 117 Languages: English

Gethesemane, thou dolesome Place

Hymnal: CD1791 #LXXXII (1791) Lyrics: 1 Gethsemane, thou dolesome Place Near Cedron's Brook to which the Lamb, Who love'd to be in loneliness Where out of boundless Love to me, He wrestled in an Agony. 2 There, quite oe'rwhelm'd with Grief, he said, "My Soul is sorrowful to Death" And suff'ring freely in my Stead, He drank the bitter Cup of Wrath; Now on his Knees, then on his Face, He weeps, and sweats, and bleeds and prays. 3 So lov'd me the Eternal God, That he became the Son of Man, And took my Sins' prodigious Load. My Soul admire his gracious Plan! Thy Stripes, thy Guilt and curse he bore; Believe and thankfully adore. Topics: Passion of Christ Languages: English

Character of Christ

Hymnal: CD1791 #XC (1791) First Line: Go, worship at Immanuel's Feet Lyrics: 1 Go worship at IMMANUEL's Feet, See in his Face what Wonders meet! Earth is too narrow to express His Worth, his Glory, or his Grace. [2 The whole Creation can afford But some faint Shadows of my LORD; Nature, to make his Beauties known, Must mingle colours not her own.] [3 Is he compar'd to wine or Bread? Dear LORD! our Souls would thus be fed: That Flesh, that dying Blood of thine, Is Bread of Life, is heav'nly Wine. [4 Is he a Tree? The World receives Salvation from his healing Leaves: That righteous Branch, that fruitful Bough, Is David's Root and Offspring too.] [5 Is he a Rose? Not Sharon yields, Such Fragrancy in all her Fields: Or if the Lilly he assume, The Vallies bless the rich Perfume.] [6 Is he a Vine? his heav'nly Root Supplies the Boughs with Life and Fruit. O let a lasting Union join My Soul to CHRIST the living Vine!] [7 Is he a Head? Each Member lives And owns the Vital Pow'r he gives; The Saints below and Saints above, Join'd by his Spirit and his Love.] [8 Is he a Fountain? There I bathe, And heal the Plague of Sin and Death: These Waters all my Soul renew, And cleanse my spotted Garments too.] [9 Is he a Fire? He'll purge my Dross: But the true Gold sustains no Loss: Like a Refiner shall he sit, And tread the Refuse with his Feet.] [10 Is he a Rock? How firm he proves! The Rock of Ages never moves; Yet the sweet Streams that from him flow Attend us all the Desart thro'.] [11 Is he a Way? He leads to GOD, The Path is drawn in Lines of Blood; There would I walk with Hope and Zeal, 'Till I arrive at Zion's Hill.] [12 Is he a Door? I'll enter in; Behold the Pastures large and green, A Paradise divinely fair, None but the Sheep have Freedom there.] [13 Is he design'd the Corner-Stone, For Men to build their Heav'n upon? I'll make him my Foundation too, Nor fear the Plots of Hell below.] [14 Is he a Temple? I adore Th' indwelling Majesty and Pow'r; And still to his most Holy Place, Whene'er I pray, I'll turn my Face.] [15 Is he a Star? He breaks the Night, Piercing the Shades with dawning Light; I know his Glories from afar, I know the bright, the Morning Star.] [16 Is he a Sun? His Beams are Grace, His Course is Joy and Righteousness; Nations rejoice when he appears To chase their Clouds, and dry their Tears.] [17 O let me climb those higher Skies, Where Storms and Darkness never rise! There he displays his Pow'rs abroad, And shines and Reigns th' Incarnate GOD.] 18 Nor Earth, nor Seas, nor Sun, nor Stars, Nor Heav'n his full Resemblance bears; His Beauties we can never Trace, Till we behold him Face to Face.
