Come, ye who love the Lord

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXLIII (1789) Topics: Life, Death, and a future State The Hope of future Blessedness Lyrics: 1 Come, ye that love the Lord, And let your joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, While ye surround his throne. 2 Let those refuse to sing, That never knew our God; But servants of the heavenly King May speak their joys abroad. 3 The men of grace have found Glory begun below; Celestial fruits on earthly ground From faith and hope may grow. 8 Then let our songs abound, And every tear be dry; We're marching thro' this present world To fairer worlds on high.

Queen of Sheba

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LXXXI (1791) Topics: Blessedness of the Gospel 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. Scripture: Psalm 117 Languages: English

Grace! 'tis a charming Sound

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #XCI (1791) Topics: Blessedness of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 Grace! 'tis a charming Sound, Harmonious to the Ear! Heav'n with the Echo shall resound, And all the Earth shall hear. 2 Grace first contriv'd the way To save rebellious Man; And all the Steps, that Grace display, Which drew the wondrous Plan. 3 Grace led my roving Feet To tread the Heav'nly Road; And new Supplies each Hour I meet, While pressing on to God. 4 Grace all the Work shall Crown Thro' everlasting Days, It lays in heav'n the Topmost Stone; And well deserves the Praise.

How beauteous are their feet

Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCCXXXVII (1816) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Blessedness of Gospel Times Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet, Who stand on Zion's hill, Who brings salvation on their tongues And words of peace reveal! 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found. 4 How blessed are our eyes, That see this heav'nly light! Prophets and saints desir'd it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare his arm Thro' all the earth abroad; Let every nation now behold Their Saviour and their God.

Joy is a Fruit that will not grow

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXLIII (1791) Topics: Blessedness of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 Joy is a Fruit that will not grow In Nature's barren Soil; All we can boast, 'till Christ we know, Is Vanity and Toil. 2 But where the Lord has planted Grace, And made his Glories known; There Fruits of Heav'nly Joy and Peace Are found, and there alone. 3 A bleeding Saviour, seen by Faith, A Sense of Pard'ning Love, A Hope that triumphs over Death, Give Joys like those above. 4 To make a Glimpse within the Vail, To know that God is mine; Are Springs of Joy that never fail, Unspeakably Divine. 5 These are the Joys that satisfy, And sanctify the Mind; Which make the spirit mount on High, And leave the World behind. 6 No more Believers, mourn your Lot, But if you are the Lord's, Resign to them that know him not, Such Joys as Earth affords.
