Life is the time to serve the Lord

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #HL (1760) Lyrics: 1 Life is the Time to serve the Lord, The Time t'insure the great Reward; And while the Lamp holds out to burn, The vilest Sinner may return. 2 Life is the Hour that God has giv'n To 'scape from Hell, and fly to Heav'n; The Day of Grace, and Mortals may Secure the Blessings of the Day. 3 The Living know that they must die, But all the Dead forgotten lie; Their Mem'ry and their Sense is gone, Alike unknowing and unknown. 4 Their Hatred and their Love is lost, Their Envy buried in the Dust; They have no Share in all that's done Beneath the Circuit of the Sun. 5 Then what my Thoughts design to do, My Hands, with all your Might pursue; Since no Device, nor Work is found, Nor Faith, nor Hope, beneath the Ground. 6 There are no Acts of Pardon pass'd In the cold Grave, to which we haste; But Darkness, Death, and long Despair, Reign in eternal Silence there. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:4-6 Languages: English

Lord, hear my cCy, regard my Pray'r

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #LXI (1760) Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my Cry, regard my Pray'r, which I, oppress'd with Grief, 2 From Earth's remotest Parts address to Thee for kind Relief. O! lodge me safe beyond the Reach of persecuting Pow'r, 3 Thou who so oft from spiteful Foes hast been my shelt'ring Tow'r. 4 So shall I in thy sacred Courts secure from Danger lie; Beneath the Covert of thy Wings, all future Storms defy. 5 In Sign my Vows are heard, once more, I o'er thy Chosen reign: 6 O! bless with long and prosp'rous Life the King Thou didst ordain. 7 Confirm his Throne, and make his Reign accepted in thy Sight; And let thy Truth and Mercy both in his Defence unite. 8 So shall I ever sing thy Praise, thy Name for ever bless; Devote my prosp'rous Days to pay the Vows of my Distress. Scripture: Psalm 61 Languages: English

Lord, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #CXLIII (1760) Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry Thy wonted Audience lend; In thy accustom'd Faith and Truth a gracious Answer send. 2 Nor at thy strict Tribunal bring thy Servant to be try'd; For in thy Sight no living Man can e'er be justify'd. 3 The spiteful Foe pursues my Life, whose Comforts all are fled; He drives me into Caves as dark as Mansions of the Dead. 4 My Spirit therefore is o'erwhelm'd, and sinks within my Brest; My mournful Heart grows desolate, with heavy Woes opprest. 5 I call to mind the Days of old, and Wonders thou hast wrought: My former Dangers and Escapes employ my musing Thought. 6 To thee my Hands in humble prayer I fervently stretch out; My Soul for thy Refreshment thirsts, like Land opprest with Drought. 7 Hear me with Speed; my Spirit fails; thy Face no longer hide, Lest I become forlorn, like them that in the Grave reside. 8 Thy Kindness early let me hear, whose Trust on Thee depends; Teach me the Way where I should go: my Soul to Thee ascends. 9 Do Thou, O Lord, from all my Foes preserve, and set me free; A safe Retreat against their Rage, my Soul implores from Thee. 10 Thou art my God, thy righteous Will instruct me to obey; Let thy good Spirit lead and keep my Soul in thy right Way. 11 O for the sake of thy great Name revive my drooping Heart: For thy Truth's Sake to me distress'd, thy promis'd Aid impart. 12 In Pity to my Suff'rings, Lord, reduce my Foes to Shame; Slay them that persecute a Soul devoted to thy Name. Scripture: Psalm 143 Languages: English

Lord, hear the Voice of my Complaint

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #V (1760) Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear the Voice of my Complaint accept my secret Pray'r; 2 To Thee alone, my King my God, will I for help repair. 3 Thou in the Morn my Voice shalt hear, and with the dawning Day, To thee devoutly I'll look up, to thee devoutly pray. 4 For thou, the Wrongs that I sustain, canst never, Lord, approve; Who from thy sacred Dwelling-place all Evil dost remove. 5 Not long shall stubborn Fools remain unpunish'd in thy View: All such as act unrighteous Things, thy Vengeance shall pursue. 6 The sland'ring Tongue, O God of Truth, by thee shall be destroy'd; Who hat'st alike the Man in Blood, and in Deceit employ'd. 7 But when thy boundless Grace shall me to thy lov'd Courts restore, On thee I'll fix my longing Eyes, and humbly there adore. 8 Conduct me by thy righteous Laws; for watchful is my Foe: Therefore, O Lord, make plain the Way, wherein I ought to go. 9 Their Mouth vents nothing but Deceit; their Heart is set on Wrong; Their Throat is a devouring Grave; they flatter with their Tongue. 10 By their own Counsels let them fall, oppress'd with Loads of Sin; For they against thy righteous Laws have harden'd Rebels been. 11 But let all those who trust in thee, with Shouts their Joy proclaim; Let them rejoice, whom thou preserv'st, and all that love thy Name. 12 To righteous Men the righteous Lord, his Blessing will extend; And with his Favour all his Saints, as with a Shield, defend. Scripture: Psalm 5 Languages: English

Lord, how secure my Conscience was

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #HLVI (1760) Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my Conscience was, and felt no inward Dread! I was alive without the Law, and thought my Sins were dead. 2 My Hopes of Heav'n were firm and bright, but since the Precept came With a convincing Pow'r and Light, I find how vile I am. 3 My Guilt appear'd but small before, 'till terribly I saw How perfect, holy, just and pure, was thine eternal Law. 4 Then felt my Soul the heavy Load, my Sins reviv'd again I had provok'd a dreadful God, And all my Hopes were slain. 5 I'm like a helpless Captive sold under the Pow'r of Sin; I cannot do the Good I would, nor keep my Conscience clean. 6 My God, I cry with ev'ry Breath for some kind Pow'r to save, To break the Yoke of Sin and Death, and thus redeem the Slave. Scripture: Romans 7:8-24 Languages: English

Lord, let thy just Decrees the King

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #LXXII (1760) Lyrics: 1 Lord, let thy just Decrees the King in all his Ways direct; And let his Son, throughout his Reign, thy righteous Laws respect. 2 So shall he still thy People judge with pure and upright Mind, Whilst all the helpless Poor shall him their just Protector find. 3 Then Hills and Mountains shall bring forth the happy Fruits of Peace; Which all the Land shall own to be the Work of Righteousness: 4 Whilst he the poor and needy Race shall rule with gentle Sway, And from their humble Necks shall take oppressive Yokes away. 5 In ev'ry Heart, thy awful Fear shall then be rooted fast, As long as Sun and Moon endure, or Time itself shall last. 6 He shall descend like Rain, that chears the Meadows second Birth; Or like warm Show'rs, whose gentle Drops refresh the thirsty Earth. 7 In his blest Days the Just and Good shall be with Favour crown'd; The happy Land shall ev'ry-where with endless Peace abound. 8 His uncontroul'd Dominion shall from Sea to Sea extend; Begin at proud Euphrate's Streams, at Nature's Limits end. 9 To him the savage Nations round shall bow their servile Heads: His vanquish'd Foes shall lick the Dust where he his Conquest spreads. 10 The Kings of Tarshish, and the Isles, shall costly Presents bring; From spicy Sheba Gifts shall come, and wealthy Saba's King. 11 To him shall ev'ry King on Earth his humble Homage pay; And diff'ring Nations gladly join to own his righteous Sway. 12 For he shall set the Needy free, when they for Succour cry; Shall save the Helpless, and the Poor, and all their Wants supply. Part II 13 His Providence, for needy Souls, shall due Supplies prepare; And over their defenceless Lives shall watch with tender Care. 14 He shall preserve and keep their souls from Fraud and Rapine free; And in his sight their guiltless Blood of mighty Price shall be. 15 Therefore shall God his Life and Reign to many Years extend; Whilst eastern Princes Tribute pay, and golden Presents send. For him shall constant Pray'rs be made thro' all his prosp'rous Days: His just Dominion shall afford a lasting Theme of Praise. 16 Of useful Grain, through all the Land, great Plenty shall appear: A Handful sown on Mountain-tops a mighty Crop shall bear: Its Fruit, like Cedars shook by Winds, a rattling Noise shall yield: The City too shall thrive, and vie, for Plenty, with the Field. 17 The Mem'ry of his glorious Name thro' endless Years shall run; His spotless Fame shall shine as bright and lasting as the Sun. In him the Nations of the World shall be completely bless'd, And his unbounded Happiness by ev'ry Tongue confess'd. 18 Then bless'd be God, the mighty Lord, the God whom Israel fears; Who only wond'rous in his Works, beyond Compare, appears. 19 Let Earth be with his Glory fill'd; for ever bless His Name; Whilst to his Praise the list'ning World their glad Assent proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 72 Languages: English

Lord, let thy Servant now depart

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #HXXV (1760) Lyrics: 1 Lord let thy Servant now depart Into thy promis'd Rest, Since my expecting Eyes have been With thy Salvation blest: 2 Which, till this Time, thy favour'd Saints, and Prophets, only knew, Long since prepar'd, but now set forth in all the Peoples View. 3 A Light to shew the heathen World the Way to saving Grace: But O! the Light and Glory both Of Isr'el's chosen Race. Scripture: Luke 2:29-32 Languages: English

Lord, not to us, we claim no Share

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #CXV (1760) Lyrics: 1 Lord, not to us, we claim no Share, but to thy sacred Name Give Glory, for thy Mercy's sake, and Truth's eternal Fame. 2 Why should the Heathen cry, where's now the God whom we adore? 3 Convince them that in Heav'n Thou art, and uncontroul'd thy Pow'r. 4 Their Gods but Gold and Silver are, the Works of mortal Hands; 5 With speechless Mouth, and sightless Eyes, the molten Idol stands. 6 The Pageant has both Ears and Nose, but neither hears nor smells; 7 Its Hands and Feet nor feel, nor move; no Life within it dwells. 8 Such senseless Stocks they are, that we can nothing like them find; But those who on their Help rely, and them for Gods design'd. 9 O Isr'el, make the Lord your Trust, who is your Help and Shield; 10 Priests, Levites, trust in Him alone, who only Help can yield. 11 Let all, who truly fear the Lord, on Him they fear rely; Who them in Danger can defend, and all their Wants supply. 12,13 Of us He oft has mindful been, and Isr'el's House will bless; Priest, Levites, Proselytes, ev'n all who his great Name confess. 14 On you, and on your Heirs He will increase of Blessings bring: 15 Thrice happy you, who Fav'rites are of this almighty King. 16 Heav'n's highest Orb of Glory, He his Empire's Seat design'd; And gave this lower Globe of Earth a Portion to Mankind. 17 They who in Death and Silence sleep to Him no Praise afford: 18 But we will bless for evermore our ever-living Lord. Scripture: Psalm 115 Languages: English

Lord, save me, for thy glorious Name

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #LIV (1760) Lyrics: 1 Lord, save me, for thy glorious Name; 2 and in thy Strength appear, To judge my Cause; accept my Pray'r, and to my Words give Ear. 3 Mere Strangers, whom I never wrong'd, to ruin me design'd; And cruel Men, that fear no God, against my Soul combin'd. 4,5 But God takes part with all my Friends; and He's the surest Guard: The God of Truth shall give my Foes their Falshood's just Reward; 6 While I my grateful Off'rings bring, and sacrifice with Joy; And in his Praise my Time to come delightfully employ. 7 From dreadful Danger and Distress the Lord hath set me free: Thro' Him shall I, of all my Foes, the just Destruction see. Scripture: Psalm 54 Languages: English

Lord, thou hast granted to thy Land

Hymnal: NVPD1760 #LXXXV (1760) Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast granted to thy Land the Favours we implor'd, And faithful Jacob's captive Race most graciously restor'd. 2,3 Thy People's sins thou hast absolv'd, and all their Guilt defac'd: Thou hast not let thy Wrath flame on, nor thy fierce Anger last. 4 O God our Saviour, all our Hearts to thy Obedience turn; That, kindled by our former Sins, thy Wrath no more may burn. 5,6 For why should'st thou be angry still, and Wrath so long retain? Revive us, Lord, and let thy Saints thy wonted Comfort gain. 7 Thy gracious Favour Lord, display, which we have long implor'd; And for thy wond'rous Mercy's sake, thy wonted Aid afford. 8 God's Answer patiently I'll wait; for he, with glad Success, (If they no more to Folly turn) his mourning Saints will bless. 9 To all that fear his holy Name, his sure Salvation's near; And in its former happy State our Nation shall appear. 10 For Mercy now with Truth is join'd; and Righteousness with Peace, Like kind companions absent long, with friendly Arms embrace. 11,12 Truth from the Earth shall spring whilst Heav'n shall Streams of Justice pour; And God, from whom all Goodness flows, shall endless Plenty show'r. 13 Before Him Righteousness shall march, and his just Paths prepare; Whilst w his holy Steps pursue with constant Zeal and Care. Scripture: Psalm 85 Languages: English
