37. 1 Holy Resolutions. (C. M.) AND does the kind Redeemer stoop, In such reviving strains, Diseased sinners to invite, And heal their heart-felt pains? 2 Will he on no account cast out To his kind arms, for life and grace, 3 From age to age have coming souls 4 Can they his truth and grace attest, 5 Be gone, my unbelieving fears, 6 Frown not away a soul that wants 38. For a Blessing on the Word. (P.M.) 39. 40. N what has now been sown, To make it spring and grow: 1 、 After Sermon. (P. M.) NOW may He who from the dead Jesus Christ, our King and Head, 2 May he teach us to fulfil, What is pleasing in his sight; And preserve us day and night! The same. (P.M.) 1 HASTEN, sinner, to be wise, Stay not for the morrow's sun: 2 Hasten, mercy to implore; Stay not for the morrow's sun; 4 Hasten, sinner, to be blest; LORD'S DAY. 41. For a Lord's Day Morning. (S. M.) 1 BEHOLD the lofty sky Declares its Maker God, And all his starry works on high Proclaim his pow'r abroad. 2 The darkness and the light Still keep their course the same; While night to day, and day to night, Divinely teach his name. 3 In ev'ry diff'rent land 4 Their gen'ral voice is known; They shew the wonders of his hand, And orders of his throne. Ye British lands, rejoice; We are not left to Nature's voice, 5 His statutes and commands His laws are just and pure, 6 His promises for ever sure, And his rewards are great. 7 While of thy works I sing, Thy glory to proclaim, Accept the praise, my God, my King, 42. For a Lord's Day Morning (S. M.) EHOLD the morning sun 1 BE 2 Begins his glorious way; His beams thro' all the nations run, And life and light convey. But where the gospel comes, It spreads diviner light, It calls dead sinners from their tombs, And gives the blind their sight. 3 How perfect is thy word! And all thy judgments just! 4 My gracious God, how plain O may I never read in vain, 43. The Morning of a Lord's Day. (C.M.) 1 EARLY ARLY, my God, without delay, My thirsty spirit faints away, 2 So pilgrims on the scorching sand, Long for a cooling stream at hand, 3 I've seen thy glory and thy pow'r, 4 Not all the blessings of a feast 5 Not life itself, with all her joys, 6 Thus, till my last expiring day, I'll bless my God and King; 4. For the Lord's Day. (L. M.) |
