My God, in whom are all the springs
My God, my everlasting hope
My God, the steps of pious men My God, the visits of thy face
My heart and flesh cry out for thee My Saviour, my Almighty Friend My soul lies cleaving to the dust My soul repeat his praise My soul, review the time
My soul, the awful hour will come My spirit looks to God alone My trust is in my heavenly Friend NO change of times shall ever shock Not to ourselves, who are but dust Now be my heart inspir'd to sing Now in the hour of deep distress Now let our mournful songs record Now may the God of power and grace Now shall my solemn vows be paid Now to the Lord of heaven and earth
O BLESSED souls are they O come, loud anthems let us sing
O Lord, my rock, to thee I cry O Lord, our fathers oft have told O Lord, to our request give ear, On God my steadfast hopes rely O praise ye the Lord
O render thanks to God above
O that the Lord would guide my ways O that thy statutes every hour O thou to whom all creatures bow O thou who hear'st when sinners cry O thou whose grace and justice reign O were I like a feather'd dove PARENT of nature, God supreme Parent of universal good
Praise ye the Lord, immortal choir Praise ye the Lord, let praise employ Praise ye the Lord, O blissful theme Praise ye the Lord, to speak his praise Preserve me, Lord, in time of need REJOICE, ye righteous, in the Lord SALVATION is for ever nigh Shall tyrants rule by impious laws Shew pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive Shout to the Lord, ye surging seas Sing to the Lord aloud
Sing to the Lord Jehovah's name Sing to the Lord, let praise inspire Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims Sovereign of life, I own thy hand TEACH me the measure of my days Th' Almighty reigns exalted high That man is blest who stands in awe Thee will I bless, my God and King The God Jehovah reigns
The heavens declare thy glory, Lord The King of Saints, how fair his face The Lord himself, the mighty Lord The Lord in Zion plac'd his name The Lord Jehovah reigns
The Lord my pasture shall prepare The Lord my Saviour is my light The Lord my shepherd is
The Lord of glory is my light The Lord, the God of glory reigns The Lord, the Judge, before his throne The Lord, the Judge, his churches warns The praises of my God and King There is a God, all nature speaks They who in ships, with courage bold Think, mighty God, on feeble man This is the day the Lord hath made This spacious earth is all the Lord's Thou art my portion, O my God Thou God, by whose command I live Thou God of love, thou ever blest Thou, Lord, hast earth's foundation laid Thou, Lord, in heaven hast plac'd thy throne 145 Thou, Lord, through every changing scene 126 Through all the changing scenes of life Thus the eternal Father spake
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Thus saith the Lord, your work is vain Thy favour, gracious Lord, display Thy mercy, Lord, my only hope Thy mercies fill the earth, O Lord Thy name, Almighty Lord
Thy name, O God, my heart avows Thy praise, O God, in Zion waits Thy word is like a heavenly light
To thee, great God, will I disclose To thee, most holy and most high To thee, my God, my heart shall bring To thine almighty arm we owe To your Creator, God
VAST are thy works, Almighty Lord Unshaken as the sacred hill
WE bless the Lord, the just, the good Welcome, thou day of sacred rest What seraph of celestial birth
What shall I render to my God What sinners value I resign
When fancy spreads her boldest wings When God reveal'd his gracious name When Israel, freed from Pharaoh's hand When I survey life's varied scene
When, overwhelm'd with pain and grief 82 105 Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey With all my powers of heart and tongue With songs and honours sounding loud Who shall ascend thy heavenly placc Why do the wealthy wicked boast Why doth the Lord stand off so far Why doth the inan of riches grow Why should I vex my soul, and fret
Yet, saith the Lord, if David's race,
YE boundless realms of joy Ye servants of th' eternal King Ye servants of th' almighty King
N. B. The HYMNs are placed in the alphabet- ical order of their initial letters.
1 ABSURD and vain attempt! to bind With iron chains, the freeborn mind; To force conviction, and reclaim
The wandering, by destructive flame ! 2 Bold arrogance, to snatch from heaven Dominion not to mortals given ! O'er conscience to usurp the throne, Accountable to God alone.
3 Mad zeal! that fills the world with woe! That hurls down kingdoms at a blow ! That wakens vengeance to devour The foes of antichristian power.
4 Jesus, thy gentle law of love Does no such cruelties approve ; Mild as thyself, thy doctrine wields No arms, but what persuasion yields. 5 By proofs divine and reason strong, It draws the willing soul along; And conquests to thy church acquires, By eloquence, which Heaven inspires. 6 O happy, who are thus compell'd To the rich feast, by Jesus held ! May we this blessing know, and prize The light which liberty supplies.
