Delights in Public Worship
Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XXI (1790) Topics: At the Opening of Public Worship First Line: Welcome sweet day of rest Lyrics: 1 Welcome sweet day of rest
That saw the Lord arise;
Welcome to this reviving breast,
And these rejoicing eyes!
2 The King Himself comes near,
And feasts his saints to-day;
Here may we sit, and see him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.
3 One day amidst the place
Where my dear God hath been,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Of pleasurable sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
And sit and sing herself away
To everlasting bliss.

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #IV (1790) Topics: At the Opening of Public Worship First Line: With rev'rence let the saints appear Lyrics: 1 With rev'rence let the saints appear,
And bow before the Lord,
His high commands with rev'rence hear,
And tremble at his word.
2 How terrible thy glories be!
How bright thine armies shine!
Where is the pow'r that vies for thee?
Or truth compar'd with thine?
3 The northern pole and southern rest
On thy supporting hand,
Darkness and day, from east to west
Move round at thy command.
4 Thy words the raging winds controul,
And rule the boist'rous deep;
Thou mak'st the sleeping billows roll,
The rolling billows sleep.
5 Heav'n, earth, and air, and sea, are thine,
And the dark world of hell;
How did thine arm in vengeance shine
When Egypt durst rebel!

Of never dying love.

Then lead to JESUS' blood;
And to our wond'ring view reveal
The secret love of GOD.

That rules the courts of bliss,
The Lord of hosts the mighty God,
The eternal Prince of Peace:

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #III (1790) Topics: At the Opening of Public Worship First Line: Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear Lyrics: 1 Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high;

To plead for all his saints,

Our songs and our complaints.

The wicked shall not stand;
Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight,
Nor dwell at thy right-hand.

to taste thy mercies there;
I will frequent thine holy court,
And worship in thy fear.

In ways of righteousness!
Make ev'ry path of duty straight,
And plain before my face.

To wash my garments white again.

And give him kind access to thee;
Give him a place within thy house,
To taste thy love divinely free.

Made us of clay, and form'd us men
And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd,
He brought us to his fold again.

And earth, with her ten thousand tongues
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.

Vast as eternity thy love;
Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.

Come, bow before the Lord;
We are his works, and not our own:

The language of his grace,
And heart grown hard, like stubborn Jews
That unbelieving race;

Will lift his hand, and swear,
You that despise my promis'd rest,
Shall have no portion there.

As greatful incense to the skies.

Which none, but he that feels it knows.

Is the dear pledge of glorious rest,
Which for the church of God remains,
The end of cares the end of pains.

In various scenes both old and new;
With praise, we think on mercies past,
With hope, we future pleasures taste.

In holy pleasures pass away:

In hope of one that ne'er shall end!

To the bright worlds of endless day,

His loving kindness in the skies. Languages: English

In coming to a mercy-seat!
Yet who that knows the worth of pray'r
But wishes to be often there.

Prayer climes the ladder Jacob saw;
Gives exercise to faith and love,
Brings every blessing from above.

And satan trembles, when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.

Success was found on Israel's side;
But when thro' weariness they fail'd,
That moment Amalek prevail'd.
5 Have you no words? ah, think again,
Words flow apace when you complain
And fill a fellow-creature's ear
With the sad tale of all your care.
