National judgments deprecated, and national mercies pleaded

Author: President Davies Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXXVIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Times and Seasons Days of Humiliation First Line: While o'er our guilty land, O Lord Lyrics: 1 While o’er our guilty land, O Lord, We view the terrors of thy sword; Oh! whither shall the helpless fly; To whom but thee direct their cry? 2 The helpless sinner's cries and tears Are grown familiar to thine ears; Oft has thy mercy sent relief, When all was fear and hopeless grief. 3 On thee, our guardian God, we call, Before thy throne of grace we fall; And is there no deliverance there? And must we perish in despair? 4 See, we repent, we weep, we mourn, To our forsaken God we turn; O spare our guilty country, spare The church which thou hast planted here. 5 We plead thy grace, indulgent God; We plead thy son’s atoning blood; We plead thy gracious promises, And are they unavailing pleas? 6 These pleas, presented at thy throne, Have brought ten thousand blessings down On guilty lands in helpless woe; Let them prevail to save us too. Scripture: Amos 3:1-6 Languages: English

For ever live, for ever reign, And prosp'rous may thy throne remain! 4 Thy Saints, obedient to thy word, With humble joy,surround thy board: And, long as time pursues its race, Proclaim thy death, and shout thy grace. 5 In the full choir, where angels join Their harps of melody divine, Thy death inspires a song of praise, New thro' thy life's eternal days.

Who but the son should take that Book, And open ev'ry Seal? 5 He shall fulfil thy great Decrees, The Son deserves it well; Lo, in his Head the Sov'reign Keys Of Heav'n, and Death,and Hell.] 6 Now to the Lamb that once was slain, Be endless Blessings paid; Salvation, Glory, Joy remain For ever on thy Head. 7 Thou hast redeem'd our Souls with Blood, Hast set the Pris’ners free, Hast made us Kings and Priests to God, And we shall reign with Thee. 8 The Worlds of Nature and of Grace Are put beneath thy Pow'r; Then shorten these delaying Days, And bring the promis'd Hour.

What equal Honours shall we bring

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXIII (1766) Topics: Christ Humiliation and Exaltation Lyrics: 1 What equal Honours shall we bring To Thee o Lord, our God the Lamb? When all the Notes that Angels sing Are far inferior to thy Name? 2 Worthy is he that once was slain, The Prince of Peace that groan'd and dy'd Worthy to rise, and live, and reign At his Almighty Father's Side. 3 Pow'r and Dominion are his Due, Who stood condemn'd at Pilate's Bar: Wisdom belongs to Jesus too, Though he was charg'd with Madness here. 4 All Riches are his Native Right, Yet he sustain'd amazing Loss; To him ascribe Eternal Might, Who left his Weakness on the Cross. 4 Honour immortal must be paid, Instead of Scandal and of Scorn, While Glory shines around his Head, And a bright Crown without a Thorn. 5 Blessings for ever on the Lamb, Who bore the Curse for wretched Men; Let Angels sound his sacred Name, And ev'ry Creature say, Amen.

Like sheep we went astray

His Life and Blood the Shepherd pays A Ransom for the Flock. 5 His Honour and his Breath Were taken both away; Join'd with the Wicked in his Death, And made as vile as they. 6 But God shall raise his Head O'er all the Sons of Men, And make him see a num'rous Seed, To recompense his Pain. 7 I'll give him (saith the Lord) A Portion with the Strong; He shall possess a large Reward, And hold his Honours long.

Death! 'Tis a melancholy Day

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LII (1766) Topics: Christ Humiliation and Exaltation Lyrics: 1 Death! 'Tis a melancholy Day, To those that have no God, When the poor Soul is forc'd away To seek her last Abode. 2 In vain to Heav'n she lifts her Eyes, But Guilt, a heavy Chain, Still drags her downward from the Skies, To Darkness, Fire and Pain. 3 Awake and mourn, ye Heirs of Hell, Let stubborn Sinners fear; You must be driv'n from Earth and dwell A long For Ever there. 4 See how the Pit gapes wide for you, And flashes in your Face; And thou, my Soul, look downwards too, And sing recov'ring Grace, 5 He is a God of sov'reign Grace, That promis'd Heav'n to me; And taught my Thoughts to soar above, Where happy Spirits be. 6 Prepare me, Lord, for thy Right Hand, Then come the joyful Day, Come Death and some celestial Band, To bear my Soul away.

What murd'rous Things they be! 2 Were these the Traitors, dearest Lord, That thy fair Body tore? Monsters, that stain'd those heav'nly Limbs With Floods of purple Gore? 3 Was it for Crimes that I had done, My dearest Lord was slain, When Justice seiz'd God's only Son, And put his Soul to Pain? 4 Forgive my Guilt, O Prince of Peace, I'll wound my God no more; Hence from my Heart, ye Sins, be gone, For Jesus I adore. 5 Furnish me, Lord, with heav'nly Arms From Grace's Magazine, And I'll proclaim eternal War With ev'ry darling Sin.
