Liberality; or, the duty and pleasures of benevolence

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXLVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Benevolence a duty and pleasure First Line: O what stupendous mercy shines Lyrics: 1 O what stupendous mercy shines Around the majesty of heaven! Rebels he deigns to call his sons, Their souls renew'd their sins forgiven. 2 Go, imitate the grace divine, The grace that blazes like a sun; Hold forth your fair, tho' feeble light, Thro' all your lives let mercy run: 3 Upon your bounty's willing wings Swift let the great salvation fly; The hungry feed, the naked clothe, To pain and sickness help apply. 4 Pity the weeping widow's woe, And be her counsellor and stay; Adopt the fatherless, and smooth The useful, happy life his way. 5 Let age with want and weakness bow'd, Your bowels of compassion move; Let e'en your enemies be blest, Their hatred recompens'd with love. 6 When all is done, renounce your deeds, Renounce self-righteousness with scorn; Thus will you glorify your God, And thus the christian name adorn.

Grant us then the grace of giving With a spirit large and free, That our life and all our giving We may consecrate to Thee. 2 We are Thine, Thy mercy sought us, Found us in death's dreadful way, To the fold in safety brought us, Never more from Thee to stray. Thine own life Thou freely gavest As an offering on the cross For each sinner whom Thou savest From eternal shame and loss. 3 Blest by Thee with gifts and graces, May we heed Thy Church's call; Gladly in all times and places Give to Thee who givest all. Thou hast bought us, and no longer Can we claim to be our own; Ever free and ever stronger, We shall serve Thee, Lord, alone. 4 Saviour, Thou hast freely given All the blessings we enjoy, Earthly store and bread of heaven, Love and peace without alloy; Humbly now we bow before Thee, And our all to Thee resign; For the kingdom, power, and glory, Are, O Lord, for ever Thine.

Tests of Christian Character

Hymnal: The Psalter #24 (1912) Topics: Benevolence First Line: Who, O Lord, with Thee abiding Lyrics: 1 Who, O Lord, with Thee abiding, In Thy house shall be Thy guest? Who, his feet to Zion turning, In Thy holy hill shall rest? He that ever walks uprightly, Does the right without a fear, When he speaks, he speaks not lightly, But with truth and love sincere. 2 He that slanders not his brother, Does no evil to a friend; To reproaches of another He refuses to attend. Wicked men win not his favor, But the good who fear the Lord; From his vow he will not waver, Tho' it bring him sad reward. 3 Freely to the needy lending, No excess he asks again; And the innocent befriending, He desires not praise of men. Doing this, and evil spurning, He shall nevermore be moved: This the man with Thee sojourning, This the man by Thee approved. Scripture: Psalm 15 Languages: English Tune Title: HELEN
