The Sacred Harp Poetry First Line Index

"All Glory be to God on high,		While Shepherds watch'd their Flocks by Night
"Amid the glories of that world,		As on the cross the Saviour hung,
"Deny thyself, and take thy Cross;"		Broad is the Road that leads to Death,
"Even down to old age my people shall prove		How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
"Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismay'd,		How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
"Fear not, said he, (for mighty Dread		While Shepherds watch'd their Flocks by Night
"His own soft Hand shall wipe the Tears		Lo, what a glorious Sight appears
"Jesus, thou Son and heir of heaven,		As on the cross the Saviour hung,
"Lord, remove this grievous blindness,		"Mercy, O thou Son of David!"
"Mercy, O thou Son of David!"		"Mercy, O thou Son of David!"
"The GOD of Glory down to Men		Lo, what a glorious Sight appears
"The heav'nly Babe you there shall find		While Shepherds watch'd their Flocks by Night
"The soul that on Jesus has lean'd for repose,		How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
"To you, in David's Town, this Day		While Shepherds watch'd their Flocks by Night
"When thro' fiery trials thy pathways shall lie,		How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
"When thro' the deep waters I call thee to go,		How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
"Worthy the Lamb that dy'd," they cry,		Come let us join our cheerful Songs
"Yet quickly from these scenes of woe		As on the cross the Saviour hung,
[Our Life is ever on the Wing,		Time! what an empty Vapour 'tis!
[The present Moments just appear,		Time! what an empty Vapour 'tis!
[This mortal life decays apace,		GOD of my life, look gently down,
[Where Pleasure rolls its living Flood,		My Soul forsakes her vain Delight,
Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints,		'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints,
Tis thus the LORD his love reveals,		Afflictions, tho' they seem severe,
"Father, I've sinn'd--but O forgive!"		Afflictions, tho' they seem severe,
"Let thy servant now depart"		WEEPING sinner, dry your tears,
"What have I gain'd by sin, he said,		Afflictions, tho' they seem severe,
Jesus sought me, when a Stranger,		Come, thou Fount of ev'ry Blessing,

A broken heart, my God, my King,		O thou that hear'st when sinners cry,
A country far from mortal sight;		How happy every child of grace
A faith that keeps the narrow way		O for a faith that will not shrink
A faith that shines more bright and clear		O for a faith that will not shrink
A few more days and we shall go		TO-DAY,* if you will hear his voice,
A few more days, or years at most,		Sweet rivers of redeeming love,
A few more rolling years at most,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
A home in Heaven! as the sufferer lies		A home in Heaven! what a joyful thought,
A home in Heaven! what a joyful thought,		A home in Heaven! what a joyful thought,
A home in Heaven! when our friends are fled		A home in Heaven! what a joyful thought,
A home in Heaven! when our pleasures fade,		A home in Heaven! what a joyful thought,
A home in Heaven! when the faint heart bleeds		A home in Heaven! what a joyful thought,
A home in Heaven! when the wheel is broke,		A home in Heaven! what a joyful thought,
A land of deepest shade,		And am I born to die?
A land upon whose blissful shore		There is a land mine eye hath seen,
A oes neb o'm holl gyfeillion,		O Iachawdwr pechaduriaid;
A story most lovely I'll tell,		A story most lovely I'll tell,
A stranger in the world below,		How happy every child of grace
A taste of thy tormenting fears		Thou Man of griefs, remember me,
A thousand of our years amount		Thro' ev'ry age, eternal God,
A thousand wretched souls are fled		Once more, my soul, the rising day
A while before this damsel died,		Young ladies all attention give,
A ydyw cyfailll ddim ond hynny?		O Iachawdwr pechaduriaid;
Adam's Likeness now efface,		HARK! the Herald Angels sing,
Adam's likeness, Lord, efface,		Hark how all the welkin rings
Adieu, ye proud, ye light and gay,		Well may thy servants mourn, my God,
Adorn'd by their Redeemer's grace		And let this feeble body fail,
Afflictions, tho' they seem severe,		Afflictions, tho' they seem severe,
After death its joys will be		'TIS religion that can give (Rippon)
Ah my sweet home Jerusalem		Jerusalem my happy home (F. B. P.)
Ah! whither could we flee for aid,		FROM ev'ry stormy wind that blows,
Alas! how vain is all their gain,		Why should we at our lot complain,
All glorious in Jerusalem,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
All hail! The pow'r of Jesu's Name;		All hail! The pow'r of Jesu's Name;
All hail, eternal Son of God,		Sweet rivers of redeeming love,
All her merchants cry with wonder,		HAIL the day so long expected!
All is vain unless the Spirit		Brethren, we have met to worship,
All my trust on thee is stay'd;		Jesu, lover of my soul,
All o'er those wide extended plains		On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
Almight God, to thee we fly--		What solemn sounds the ear invade!
Altho' he no relentings felt		Afflictions, tho' they seem severe,
Am I a Soldier of the Cross,		Am I a Soldier of the Cross,
Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)		Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
Amen! Amen! my Soul replies,		The Lord into his Garden come,
An everlasting temple,		There is a holy city,
Anchor me in that port above,		O FOR a breeze of heav'nly love,
And am I born to die?		And am I born to die?
And as he has prov'd faithful,		O WHEN shall I see Jesus!
And as we fly, we'll always cry		MY brethren all, on you I call,
And has religion left the church		Well may thy servants mourn, my God,
And join in praise to Jesu's name,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
And let this feeble body fail,		And let this feeble body fail,
And never end the blessed song,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
And never stop till I get there,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
And now I am bound for Canaan,		I LOVE my blessed Saviour,
And now the door is open wide,		WHEN the midnight cry begins,
And shall the sons of earth and dust		Will God for ever cast us off?
And shout salvation to my king,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
And still to heighten our distress,		Will God for ever cast us off?
And thou, refulgent Orb of Day,		YE golden Lamps of Heav'n, farewel [sic],
And what shall be my journey,		There is a holy city,
And when I close my eyes in death,		Jesus, my kind and gracious friend;
And when to Jordan's floods we are come,		Our bondage here shall end by and by,
And when you meet with troubles,		O WHEN shall I see Jesus!
And while I rest my weary head		LORD, thou wilt hear me when I pray;
Are there no Foes for me to face?		Am I a Soldier of the Cross,
Arise, my Soul, from deep Distress,		O That I knew the secret Place,
Around my head how angels shine,		Young ladies all attention give,
As on the cross the Saviour hung,		As on the cross the Saviour hung,
As we draw nigh, objections fly,		MY brethren all, on you I call,
Asham'd of Jesus! of that Friend,		Jesus! And shall it ever be!
Asham'd of Jesus! Shall yon Field		Jesus! And shall it ever be!
Asham'd of Jesus! Sooner far		Jesus! And shall it ever be!
Asham'd of Jesus! yes, I may,		Jesus! And shall it ever be!
At once they strike th' harmonious wire,		And let this feeble body fail,
At this she closed her eyes in death,		Young ladies all attention give,
Attending Angels shout for Joy,		Lo, what a glorious Sight appears
Awake and mourn, ye Heirs of Hell;		Death! 'tis a melancholy Day
Awake from guilty nature's sleep,		Glory to God, and praise, and love
Awake my Soul, and with the Sun,		Awake my Soul, and with the Sun,
Awake, awake! pursue thy way		HASTE, traveller, haste! the night comes on,
Awn tàn ganu tros y moroedd,		O Iachawdwr pechaduriaid;

Babel's garments we've rejected,		HAIL the day so long expected!
Be dead, my Heart, to worldly Charms;		My Jesus, while in mortal flesh
Be faithful to your Saviour God,		While in this vale of sorrow,
Before Jehovah's burning bar,		Young ladies all attention give,
Before our Father's throne		BLEST be the tie that binds
Before the golden bowl is broke,		Young ladies all attention give,
Behold the venerable band!		What solemn sounds the ear invade!
Behold, the morning sun		Behold, the morning sun
Bellach minau'n ëon deuaf,		O Iachawdwr pechaduriaid;
Beside the gospel pool,		Beside the gospel pool,
Beware of pleasure's syren song,		Say, now ye lovely social band,
Blest Angels! While we silent lie,		Lord, now my Sleep does me forsake,
BLEST be the tie that binds		BLEST be the tie that binds
Blest Jesu, thou on Heav'n intent,		Lord, now my Sleep does me forsake,
Blinais ar afonydd Babel,		O Iachawdwr pechaduriaid;
Blow the trumpet in Mount Zion!		HAIL the day so long expected!
Blow ye the trumpet blow,		Blow ye the trumpet blow,
Break off your Tears ye Saints! and tell		HE dies; the FRIEND of Sinners dies!
Break off your Tears, ye Saints, and tell		He dies, the Heav'nly Lover dies,
Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit,		Love divine, all loves excelling,
Brethren farewell, I do you tell,		Brethren farewell, I do you tell,
Brethren here are poor backsliders,		Brethren, we have met to worship,
Brethren see poor sinners round you		Brethren, we have met to worship,
Brethren, join your cries to help them		Brethren, we have met to worship,
Brethren, see my Jesus coming,		Brethren, see my Jesus coming,
Brethren, we have met to worship,		Brethren, we have met to worship,
Bright angels whisp'ring me away,		Ye weary, heavy laden'd souls,
Broad is the Road that leads to Death,		Broad is the Road that leads to Death,
Built upon thyself the Rock,		LORD, we come before Thee now,
Bury'd in Sorrow and in Sin,		Salvation! O, the joyful Sound;
But ah! how soon my Joys decay!		Time! what an empty Vapour 'tis!
But Canaan's land is just before,		Ye weary, heavy laden'd souls,
But cheerful be as formerly,		Why should we at our lot complain,
But earth's bewitching pleasures		There is a holy city,
But I shall share a glorious part		Sweet is the work, my God, my king,
But if my life be spar'd a while		GOD of my life, look gently down,
But if your ears refuse		Come, sound his praise abroad,
But let us gain Mount Pisgah's top,		Ye weary, heavy laden'd souls,
But man, weak man, is born to die,		Thro' ev'ry age, eternal God,
But many cry, 'tis all disorder,		See how the Scriptures are fulfilling!
But my complaint is bitter now,		Oh! once I had a glorious view
But my complaints remain;		Beside the gospel pool,
But now I am a soldier,		O WHEN shall I see Jesus!
But now I have a deeper stroke,		Oh! once I had a glorious view
But now I meet them as the rest,		Oh! once I had a glorious view
But now it is my purpose,		There is a holy city,
But now my heart's so careless grown,		Oh! once I had a glorious view
But now your thoughts delight to sour,		Say, now ye lovely social band,
But O how oft thy wrath appears,		Thro' ev'ry age, eternal God,
But O, the sad and awful state		Dear people, we have met to--day,
But Oh! I see among the rest,		Say, now ye lovely social band,
But since it is God's holy will,		My dearest friends in bonds of love,
But something yet can do the deed:		Oh! for a glance of heav'nly day
But still I find my heart's inclin'd,		Brethren farewell, I do you tell,
But there they live in such delight		Jerusalem my happy home (F. B. P.)
But tho' Sleep o'r my frailty reigns,		Glory to thee my God, this Night
But thy compassions, Lord,		My soul, repeat his praise
But tim'rous Mortals start and shrink,		There is a Land of pure Delight,
But to thy house will I resort,		Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear
But we by faith do see his face,		WHEN the midnight cry begins,
But when I come to bid adieu		While in this vale of sorrow,
But when we come to reign above,		The Lord into his Garden come,
But where the gospel comes		Behold, the morning sun
But whither can I go?		Beside the gospel pool,
But with our Saviour, holy Lord,		My dearest friends in bonds of love,
By faith I see His bleeding side,		I see One hanging on the tree,
By faith I see my gracious God,		Ye weary, heavy laden'd souls,
By faith I see the distant shore,		Young ladies all attention give,
By hourly Faith in Thee I live,		My Jesus, while in mortal flesh
By thee my prayers acceptance gain,		How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Calvary, Calvary,		I see One hanging on the tree,
Can a woman's tender care		Hark, my soul! it is the Lord;
Can reason's dictates be obey'd?		So fades the lovely blooming flow'r,
Canst thou for ever fit and hear		Will God for ever cast us off?
Cease, ye Pilgrims, cease to mourn,		RISE my Soul, and stretch thy Wings,
Chang'd from glory into glory,		Love divine, all loves excelling,
Chearful I feast on heav'nly Fruit,		Time! what an empty Vapour 'tis!
Christ by highest Heav'n ador'd,		HARK! the Herald Angels sing,
Christ, by highest heav'n ador'd,		Hark how all the welkin rings
Come all ye elder brethren, ye soldiers of the cross,		The glorious light of Zion is spreading far and wide,
Come along, come along,		WHAT ship is this,
Come brethren, you that love the Lord,		The Lord into his Garden come,
Come let us join our cheerful Songs		Come let us join our cheerful Songs
Come Saints, and drop a Tear or two		He dies, the Heav'nly Lover dies,
Come Saints, and drop a Tear or two,		HE dies; the FRIEND of Sinners dies!
Come Sister Anna, take your leave,		Young ladies all attention give,
Come ye weary, heavy laden,		Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched,
Come, all my dear breth'ren and help me to sing;		Come, all my dear breth'ren and help me to sing;
Come, Almighty to deliver,		Love divine, all loves excelling,
Come, Desire of Nations, come,		HARK! the Herald Angels sing,

Come, Holy Spirit, come!		Come, Holy Spirit, come!
Come, humble Sinner, in whose Breast		Come, humble Sinner, in whose Breast
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,		Come, thou Fount of ev'ry Blessing,
Come, O thou traveller unknown,		Come, O thou traveller unknown,
Come, sound his praise abroad,		Come, sound his praise abroad,
Come, thou Fount of ev'ry Blessing,		Come, thou Fount of ev'ry Blessing,
Come, we that love the LORD,		Come, we that love the LORD,
Come, worship at his throne,		Come, sound his praise abroad,
Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched,		Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched,
Come, you that love th' incarnate God.		TO-DAY,* if you will hear his voice,
Comfort those who weep and mourn,		LORD, we come before Thee now,
Content with beholding his face,		How tedious and tasteless the hours,
Contented now upon my thigh		Come, O thou traveller unknown,
Could we but climb where Moses stood,		There is a Land of pure Delight,
Could we but hear its little tongue		THE little babe is gone to rest,
Create my nature pure within,		O thou that hear'st when sinners cry,
Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God,		All hail! The pow'r of Jesu's Name;
Crown Him, ye morning stars of light,		All hail! The pow'r of Jesu's Name;
Crush'd as a moth beneath thy hand,		GOD of my life, look gently down,

Daniel's wisdom may I know,		Daniel's wisdom may I know,
Dark nights, and clouds, and gloomy fear,		Ye weary, heavy laden'd souls,
Days of mourning now are ended,		HAIL the day so long expected!
Dear bower I must leave you and bid you adieu,		TO leave my dear friends, and with neighbors to part,
Dear bower where the pine and the poplar leaves spread,		TO leave my dear friends, and with neighbors to part,
Dear Christian friends, both old and young		My dearest friends in bonds of love,
Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood		There is a fountain fill'd with blood
Dear father, you've been kind to me,		Farewell, dear brothers, fare you well,
Dear fellow--youth, in Christian ties,		My dearest friends in bonds of love,
Dear God, let all my hours be thine,		Once more, my soul, the rising day
Dear Lord, if indeed I am thine,		How tedious and tasteless the hours,
Dear name! the rock on which I build,		How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
Dear people, we have met to--day,		Dear people, we have met to--day,
Dear sister, thou art left alone,		Farewell, dear brothers, fare you well,
DEAR sisters and brothers, who love one another,		DEAR sisters and brothers, who love one another,
Dearest sister, thou hast left us;		SISTER, thou wast mild and lovely,
Death shall not destroy my comfort,		Brethren, see my Jesus coming,
Death! 'tis a melancholy Day		Death! 'tis a melancholy Day
Death, like an overflowing stream,		Thro' ev'ry age, eternal God,
Death's iron gate our must pass through,		Young people, all, attention give,
Did Christ o'er sinners weep?		Did Christ o'er sinners weep?
Did you not dread that hast'ning day,		Say, now ye lovely social band,
Direct, controul, suggest this Day,		Awake my Soul, and with the Sun,
Diseases are thy servants, Lord,		GOD of my life, look gently down,
Do not I love Thee from my Soul?		Do not I love Thee, O my Lord?
Do not I love Thee, O my Lord?		Do not I love Thee, O my Lord?
Do you think she will be able		WHAT ship is this,
Dost thou ask me, who I am?		Nay, I cannot let thee go,
Down to the lake of burning fire,		See how the Scriptures are fulfilling!
Dull Sleep of sense me to deprive;		Glory to thee my God, this Night
Dying sinners, will you come?		WHEN the midnight cry begins,

EARTH, and Sun, and Stars decay,		EARTH, and Sun, and Stars decay,
E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream		There is a fountain fill'd with blood
Encircled in light, and with glory enshrouded,		How sweet to reflect on those joys that await me,
Enlighten'd by thine heav'nly Ray,		ETERNAL SPIRIT! we confess
Eternal Spirit deign to be		O FOR a breeze of heav'nly love,
ETERNAL SPIRIT! we confess		ETERNAL SPIRIT! we confess
Extol the Lamb of God,		Blow ye the trumpet blow,

False are the men in high degree,		My spirit looks to God alone;
Far as thy name is known		Far as thy name is known
Far from a world of sin and strife,		THE little babe is gone to rest,
Farewell to sin and sorrow,		O WHEN shall I see Jesus!
Farewell vain world, I'm going home		O may I worthy prove to see,
Farewell, careless sinners, for you I do mourn.		Farewell, my dear brethren, the time is at hand,
Farewell, dear brothers, fare you well,		Farewell, dear brothers, fare you well,
Farewell, dear parents, I must go,		Farewell, dear parents, I must go,
Farewell, faithful Christians, farewell all around.		Farewell, my dear brethren, the time is at hand,

Farewell, my dear brethren, farewell for a while,		Farewell, my dear brethren, the time is at hand,
Farewell, my dear brethren, the time is at hand,		Farewell, my dear brethren, the time is at hand,
Farewell, my loving brethren,		While in this vale of sorrow,
Farewell, seeking mourners with sad broken heart,		Farewell, my dear brethren, the time is at hand,
Farewell, ye young converts, who're listed for war,		Farewell, my dear brethren, the time is at hand,
Father, if I may call thee so,		Thou Man of griefs, remember me,
Fight on ye conquring saints, fight one,		Hark how the Gospel Trumpet sounds
Fill'd with delight, my raptur'd soul		On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
Fill'd with sinner--like contrition,		While my Jesus I'm possessing,
Finish then thy new creation,		Love divine, all loves excelling,
Firm as his Throne his Promise stands,		I'm not asham'd to own my LORD,
Fly me Riches, fly me Cares,		RISE my Soul, and stretch thy Wings,
Foolish virgins! do you think		WHEN the midnight cry begins,
Fools never raise their thoughts so high;		Sweet is the work, my God, my king,
For God the Lord enthron'd in State		O come, loud Anthems let us sing.
For he's our God, our Shepherd he,		O come, loud Anthems let us sing.
For I can never come to thee;		The time is swiftly rolling on
For Jesus my Saviour oft deigned to meet,		TO leave my dear friends, and with neighbors to part,
For sovereign pow'r reigns not alone.		My spirit looks to God alone;
Forgive me Lord, for thy dear Son,		Glory to thee my God, this Night
FROM ev'ry stormy wind that blows,		FROM ev'ry stormy wind that blows,
From his pierc'd and wounded body		While my Jesus I'm possessing,
From his side, that fountain precious,		While my Jesus I'm possessing,
From rocks of pride on either hand,		O FOR a breeze of heav'nly love,
From sorrow, toil and pain,		BLEST be the tie that binds
From the celestial hills,		Come, Holy Spirit, come!
From the distant coasts of Shinar,		HAIL the day so long expected!
From the third Heav'n, where GOD relies,		Lo, what a glorious Sight appears

Gad y wawr fod o fy wyneb,		O Iachawdwr pechaduriaid;
Gird on the heav'nly armour,		O WHEN shall I see Jesus!
Give joy or grief, give ease or pain,		And let this feeble body fail,
Give me a place at thy Saint's feet,		Lord, now my Sleep does me forsake,
Glad we hail the stable Reign,		EARTH, and Sun, and Stars decay,
Glory to God, and praise, and love		Glory to God, and praise, and love
Glory to thee in light array'd,		Lord, now my Sleep does me forsake,
Glory to thee my God, this Night		Glory to thee my God, this Night
Glory to thee who safe hast kept,		Awake my Soul, and with the Sun,
God grant we may inherit that same praying spirit,		DEAR sisters and brothers, who love one another,
GOD of my life, look gently down,		GOD of my life, look gently down,
God will not always chide;		My soul, repeat his praise
Good Lord, what groans! what shrieks! what cries		Dear people, we have met to--day,
Grace all the Work shall crown		Grace! ‘tis a charming Sound,
Grace first contrived a Way		Grace! ‘tis a charming Sound,
Grace taught my wandering Feet		Grace! ‘tis a charming Sound,

Grant that those who seek may find		LORD, we come before Thee now,
Great Redeemer, friend of sinners,		Great Redeemer, friend of sinners,

Had I angels' pinions		I LOVE my blessed Saviour,
Had I heart to hold its pleasure,		Sweet the moments, rich in blessing,
Had I the Pinions of a Dove,		My Soul forsakes her vain Delight,
Had I your Wings, to Heaven I'd flie,		Awake my Soul, and with the Sun,
Hail Him, ye heirs of David's line,		All hail! The pow'r of Jesu's Name;

Hark, my soul! it is the Lord;		Hark, my soul! it is the Lord;
Harlots, and publicans, and thieves		Glory to God, and praise, and love
Harp strings touched by angel fingers		When we hear the music ringing
Hast Thou a Lamb in all thy Flock,		Do not I love Thee, O my Lord?
HASTE, traveller, haste! the night comes on,		HASTE, traveller, haste! the night comes on,
Hath not thy pow'r form'd ev'ry coast,		Will God for ever cast us off?
Having that store we have much more		Why should we at our lot complain,
He breaks the power of cancell'd sin,		Glory to God, and praise, and love
He cried, my Father, my God,		A story most lovely I'll tell,
He dies, the Heav'nly Lover dies,		He dies, the Heav'nly Lover dies,
HE dies; the FRIEND of Sinners dies!		HE dies; the FRIEND of Sinners dies!
He form'd the deeps unknown;		Come, sound his praise abroad,
He fought the hard battle, and won		A story most lovely I'll tell,
He groaned his last and he died,		A story most lovely I'll tell,
he had not conversation but seamed as yet alone		When adam was created he dwelt in edons shad
He is a GOD of sov'reign Love,		Death! 'tis a melancholy Day
He knows we are but dust,		My soul, repeat his praise
He knows what Arguments I'd take,		O That I knew the secret Place,
He left his exalted abode,		A story most lovely I'll tell,
He said, I've come for thee my love,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
He seems a mighty conqueror,		There is a holy city,
He sends his word and melts the snow,		With songs and honours sounding loud
he spake as in a rapture as from whence you came		When adam was created he dwelt in edons shad
He speaks to you in whispers sweet,		WHEN the midnight cry begins,
He speaks; and listening to his voice,		Glory to God, and praise, and love
He wept, that we might weep,		Did Christ o'er sinners weep?
Hear him ye deaf, his praise ye dumb		Glory to God, and praise, and love
Hear! O Most High! our earnest prayer--		What solemn sounds the ear invade!
Heaven's my home, Heaven's my home,		Come, all my dear breth'ren and help me to sing;
Heav'n is, dear Lord, where e'er Thou art,		Awake my Soul, and with the Sun,
Her honor'd mother she address'd,		Young ladies all attention give,
Her pastors love to live at ease,		Well may thy servants mourn, my God,
Her pow'rful aid supports the soul,		So fades the lovely blooming flow'r,
Her private members walk no more		Well may thy servants mourn, my God,
Her sails are spread, see how swiftly she moves,		What ship is this that will take us all home,
Her weeping brother she address'd,		Young ladies all attention give,
Here I raise my Eben--ezer,		Come, thou Fount of ev'ry Blessing,
Here I'll sit for ever viewing		While my Jesus I'm possessing,
Here I'll sit, for ever viewing		Sweet the moments, rich in blessing,
here is Council for the bride groom & likewise for the b[ride]		When adam was created he dwelt in edons shad
Here it is I find my heaven		While my Jesus I'm possessing,
Here it is I find my heaven,		Sweet the moments, rich in blessing,
Here then, from day to day,		Beside the gospel pool,
Here's Love and Grief beyond Degree,		HE dies; the FRIEND of Sinners dies!
Here's Love and Grief beyond degree,		He dies, the Heav'nly Lover dies,
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,		Jesu, lover of my soul,
Hideous cries and lamentations,		See how the Scriptures are fulfilling!
High as the heav'ns are rais'd		My soul, repeat his praise
His body bore anguish and pain,		A story most lovely I'll tell,
His crimes with inward grief and shame,		As on the cross the Saviour hung,
His father saw him coming back,		Afflictions, tho' they seem severe,
His hoary frost, his fleecy snow,		With songs and honours sounding loud
His name yields the richest perfume,		How tedious and tasteless the hours,
His pow'r subdues our sins,		My soul, repeat his praise
His prayer the dying Jesus hears,		As on the cross the Saviour hung,
His speaking made me laugh and cry,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,		'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints,
Hoping thy face in heav'n to see,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
Hosanna to the King		See what a living Stone
How ardent my desire,		I LOVE my blessed Saviour,
How are the seats of worship broke!		Will God for ever cast us off?
How decent and how wise!		Far as thy name is known
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,		How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
How happy every child of grace		How happy every child of grace
How long, dear Saviour, O how long!		Lo, what a glorious Sight appears
How long, eternal God, how long,		Will God for ever cast us off?
How oft I've seen your flowing tears,		My dearest friends in bonds of love,
How often have I seen		Beside the gospel pool,
How often have I thought		Beside the gospel pool,
How often you have look'd for me,		The time is swiftly rolling on
How perfect is thy word!		Behold, the morning sun
How pleasant and happy the view!		A story most lovely I'll tell,
How shall I leave my tomb?		And am I born to die?
How sweet the hours have pass'd away,		My dearest friends in bonds of love,
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds		How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
How sweet to reflect on those joys that await me,		How sweet to reflect on those joys that await me,
How sweet were the zephyrs, perfum'd by the pine,		TO leave my dear friends, and with neighbors to part,
How tedious and tasteless the hours,		How tedious and tasteless the hours,
Howe'er forsaken or despis'd,		Jesus, my kind and gracious friend;

I am but a young convert, who lately did enlist		The glorious light of Zion is spreading far and wide,
I arm me with his mortal pain,		Thou Man of griefs, remember me,
I came to Jesus and I drank		I heard the voice of Jesus say,
I came to Jesus as I was,		I heard the voice of Jesus say,
I can but perish if I go,		Come, humble Sinner, in whose Breast
I cannot live without thy light,		O thou that hear'st when sinners cry,
I deliver'd thee when bound,		Hark, my soul! it is the Lord;
I deprecate that death alone,		Thou Man of griefs, remember me,
I envy not the rich and great,		The heavenly home is bright and fair,
I feel I've fallen by the way,		I feel I've fallen by the way,
I feel that Heav'n is now begun,		The Lord into his Garden come,
I felt my Lord's atoning blood		Glory to God, and praise, and love
I forward go in duty's way,		Oh! once I had a glorious view
I found, and own'd his promise true,		Glory to God, and praise, and love
I have a place for you above,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
I hear thy word with love,		Behold, the morning sun
I heard the voice of Jesus say,		I heard the voice of Jesus say,
I heard the voice of Jesus say,		I heard the voice of Jesus say,
I heard the voice of Jesus say,		I heard the voice of Jesus say,
I hold my Saviour in my arms,		Sweet rivers of redeeming love,
I hope that I shall meet you there,		Ye weary, heavy laden'd souls,
I hope to shout eternal rounds,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
I hope you'll all remember me,		My dearest friends in bonds of love,
I hope you'll meet me far above,		Young ladies all attention give,
I know that you all wanted me,		Farewell, dear parents, I must go,
I know thee, Saviour, who thou art,		Come, O thou traveller unknown,
I leave you all both great and small,		Brethren farewell, I do you tell,
I little thought he'd been so nigh,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
I live in holy grief and joy,		And let this feeble body fail,
I long to go, so farewell woe,		Brethren farewell, I do you tell,
I long to mount up in the skies,		A story most lovely I'll tell,
I long to see thy glorious face,		Sweet rivers of redeeming love,
I long, dearest Lord, in thy beauties to shine,		'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints,
I look'd to Jesus, and I found		I heard the voice of Jesus say,
I LOVE my blessed Saviour,		I LOVE my blessed Saviour,
I love to meet among them now,		When thou, my righteous Judge shall come,
I love to think of Calvary,		I see One hanging on the tree,
I must from God be driven,		And am I born to die?
I need not tell thee who I am,		Come, O thou traveller unknown,
I now awake do with you join,		Lord, now my Sleep does me forsake,
I once could mourn o'er dying men,		Oh! once I had a glorious view
I own I'm guilty, own I'm vile,		Jesus, my kind and gracious friend;
I pay this ev'ning sacrifice,		LORD, thou wilt hear me when I pray;
I see a world of spirits bright,		And let this feeble body fail,
I see no pleasure here on earth,		Young ladies all attention give,
I see One hanging on the tree,		I see One hanging on the tree,
I should, were He always so nigh,		How tedious and tasteless the hours,
I sigh from this body of sin to be free,		'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints,
I soon shall hear the awful sound,		O may I worthy prove to see,
I soon shall pass that veil of death,		O may I worthy prove to see,
I suffer out my threescore years,		And let this feeble body fail,
I tremble, left the wrath divine		Thou Man of griefs, remember me,
I trust you'll pray both night and day,		Brethren farewell, I do you tell,
I view the monster death and smile,		Sweet rivers of redeeming love,
I wake, I wake, ye Heavenly Choir,		Awake my Soul, and with the Sun,
I would not wake, nor rise again,		Awake my Soul, and with the Sun,
I would see Jesus when the flow'rs		I would see Jesus when the flow'rs
I'll go, and tell him all I've done,		Afflictions, tho' they seem severe,
I'd rise superior to my pain,		Sweet rivers of redeeming love,
I'd say, "How Flesh and Sense rebel!		O That I knew the secret Place,
I'd tell him how my Sins arise,		O That I knew the secret Place,
If Heav'n be thus far glorious, Lord,		Jerusalem, my happy home, (Broaddus)
If I arrive there thenbefore you do,		What ship is this that will take us all home,
If I'm call'd home while I am gone,		Brethren farewell, I do you tell,
If not, he'll send you down to hell,		Young ladies all attention give,
If Sin entice, I'll not consent;		'Tis my Desire with God to walk, (Trivett)
If souls are born, we'll bear the scorn,		MY brethren all, on you I call,
If you get there		WHAT ship is this,
If you go first, amen you must,		Brethren farewell, I do you tell,
I'll arise and go and meet him,		Brethren, see my Jesus coming,
I'll bid adieu to all my woes,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
I'll go to JESUS, tho' my Sin		Come, humble Sinner, in whose Breast
I'll join with Saints that's gone before,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
I'll praise him while he lends me breath,		O may I worthy prove to see,
I'll say farewell to one and all,		Farewell, dear parents, I must go,
I'll tell to all poor Sinners round,		JESUS my All, to Heav'n is gone;
I'll to the gracious King approach,		Come, humble Sinner, in whose Breast
I'm bound fair Canaan's land to see,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
I'm but a sojourner below,		GOD of my life, look gently down,
I'm glad that I am born to die,		O may I worthy prove to see,
I'm not asham'd to own my LORD,		I'm not asham'd to own my LORD,
I'm on my way to glory,		While in this vale of sorrow,
In darkest shadows of the night'		Sweet rivers of redeeming love,
In every condition, in sickness, in health,		How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
In ev'ry day of trouble,		There is a holy city,
In guilt's seducing mazes,		There is a holy city,
In hope of that immortal crown,		And let this feeble body fail,
In Infancy, sprinkled was I,		'Tis my Desire with God to walk, (Trivett)
In Isra'l stood his antient throne,		O for a shout of sacred joy
In Jesu's name and Spirit I		Thou Man of griefs, remember me,
In rapturous awe on him to gaze		How happy every child of grace
In the temple Simeon stands,		WEEPING sinner, dry your tears,
In thee no sickness may be seen		Jerusalem my happy home (F. B. P.)
In thine own Appointed Way		LORD, we come before Thee now,
In thy Temple, lo we wait,		LORD, we come before Thee now,
In vain thou strugglest to get free,		Come, O thou traveller unknown,
In vain to Heav'n she lifts her Eyes;		Death! 'tis a melancholy Day
Influenc'd by the Light Divine,		Awake my Soul, and with the Sun,
Into his Presence let us haste,		O come, loud Anthems let us sing.
Is folly's ways, the ways of peace,		Say, now ye lovely social band,
Is not the world of nature thine,		Will God for ever cast us off?
Is not thy Name melodious still		Do not I love Thee, O my Lord?
Is there here a trembling jailer,		Brethren, we have met to worship,
Is there no kind, no lenient art,		So fades the lovely blooming flow'r,
Is this the man of sorrows,		There is a holy city,
It makes me happy while I sing,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
It makes the wounded spirit whole,		How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
It shines around with dazzling ray,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
Its evils in a moment end,		How happy every child of grace
Its flaming love which has no bounds,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
Its skies are not like earthly skies,		There is a land mine eye hath seen,
I've been into the water, where we young converts go,		The glorious light of Zion is spreading far and wide,

Jerusalem my happy home		Jerusalem my happy home (F. B. P.)

Let all that dwell above the Sky,		Come let us join our cheerful Songs
Let all thy Converse be sincere,		Awake my Soul, and with the Sun,
Let Cares like a wild Deluge come,		When I can read my Title clear
Let every heart be filled with woe,		What solemn sounds the ear invade!
Let every tribe and every tongue		All hail! The pow'r of Jesu's Name;
Let highborn seraphs tune the lyre,		All hail! The pow'r of Jesu's Name;
Let me among thy saints be found,		When thou, my righteous Judge shall come,
Let not conscience make you linger:		Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched,
Let not your hard'ned Hearts renew		O come, loud Anthems let us sing.
Let others seek a home below,		The heavenly home is bright and fair,
Let persecution rage around,		The time is swiftly rolling on
Let strangers walk around		Far as thy name is known
Let those refuse to sing		Come, we that love the LORD,
Let us love our God supremely,		Brethren, we have met to worship,
Let us thee, tho' lost, regain,		Hark how all the welkin rings
Let's make the best we can of life,		Why should we at our lot complain,
Life at the best is but a jest,		Why should we at our lot complain,
Life is the Hour that God hath giv'n;		Life is the Time to serve the LORD,
Life is the time to seek his face,		Young ladies all attention give,
Life is the Time to serve the LORD,		Life is the Time to serve the LORD,
Lift up thy feet, and march in haste,		Will God for ever cast us off?

Make now your choice, and halt no more,		TO-DAY,* if you will hear his voice,
Many for his crying chid him,		"Mercy, O thou Son of David!"
Many souls who thought they'd light,		WHEN the midnight cry begins,
Many years have pass'd since then,		Nay, I cannot let thee go,

Our lady sings Magnificat		Jerusalem my happy home (F. B. P.)
Our sweet is mixed with bitter gall		Jerusalem my happy home (F. B. P.)

Peace he brings you by his death,		WEEPING sinner, dry your tears,
Peaceful be thy silent slumber--		SISTER, thou wast mild and lovely,
Perhaps he will admit my Plea,		Come, humble Sinner, in whose Breast
Pilgrims fix not here their Home;		RISE my Soul, and stretch thy Wings,
Pity brought him from on high,		WEEPING sinner, dry your tears,
Plenteous grace with thee is found,		Jesu, lover of my soul,
Poor sinners may deride me,		I LOVE my blessed Saviour,

WHEN the midnight cry begins,		WHEN the midnight cry begins,
When thou, my righteous Judge shall come,		When thou, my righteous Judge shall come,
When thro' the Wilderness they mov'd,		O come, loud Anthems let us sing.
When to that blessed world I rise,		O may I worthy prove to see,
When troubles rise, and storms appear,		The Lord of glory is my light,
When we asunder part,		BLEST be the tie that binds
When we hear the music ringing		When we hear the music ringing
When we've been there ten thousand years		Jerusalem, my happy home, (Broaddus)
When wrestling in the strength of prayer		Thou Man of griefs, remember me,
When yonder shining orders		I LOVE my blessed Saviour,
Where is the blessedness I knew,		O for a closer walk with God,
Where Jesus fits exalted,		There is a holy city,
Where once thy churches pray'd and sang,		Will God for ever cast us off?
Where shall our country turn its eye!		What solemn sounds the ear invade!
Where sins and sorrows are no more,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
While angelic legions, with harps tuned celestial,		How sweet to reflect on those joys that await me,
While angels shout and praise their King,		O for a shout of sacred joy
While bless'd with a sense of his love,		How tedious and tasteless the hours,
While friends and kindred weep around,		Young ladies all attention give,
While grace divine in others shine,		MY brethren all, on you I call,
While here in the valley of conflict I stay,		'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints,
While here, a stranger far from home,		The heavenly home is bright and fair,
While I'm imprison'd here below,		Sweet rivers of redeeming love,
While in my Master's vineyard,		While in this vale of sorrow,
While in this vale of sorrow,		While in this vale of sorrow,
While music sweet makes some retreat,		MY brethren all, on you I call,
While my Jesus I'm possessing,		While my Jesus I'm possessing,
While Shepherds watch'd their Flocks by Night		While Shepherds watch'd their Flocks by Night
While some desert, it pains my heart,		MY brethren all, on you I call,
While the wise are passing by,		WHEN the midnight cry begins,
While with my heart and tongue		Behold, the morning sun
White Lilies all around appear,		Time! what an empty Vapour 'tis!
Who can resolve the doubt		And am I born to die?
Who do you think is now a guest?		WHEN the midnight cry begins,
Who speak of fi'ry trials		There is a holy city,
Why should the rich despise the poor,		Why should we at our lot complain,
Why should we at our lot complain,		Why should we at our lot complain,
Why should we start, and fear to die?		Why should we start, and fear to die?
Will God for ever cast us off?		Will God for ever cast us off?
Will land my soul on Canaan's coast,		Oh! who will come and go with me,
Will you pursue the dangerous road?		Young people, all, attention give,
Wilt thou despise eternal fate,		Sinner, O why so thoughtless grown
Wilt thou not regard my call?		Jesu, lover of my soul,
Wilt thou not yet to me reveal		Come, O thou traveller unknown,
With a Saviour crucified		With a Saviour crucified
With flames they threaten to destroy		Will God for ever cast us off?
With joy and thanksgiving, we'll praise him who lov'd us,		DEAR sisters and brothers, who love one another,
With joy let Judah stand		Far as thy name is known
With joys above may I be blest,		And let this feeble body fail,
With me, your chief, you then shall know,		Glory to God, and praise, and love
With smiling looks of approbation,		See how the Scriptures are fulfilling!
With such, religion doth remain,		Well may thy servants mourn, my God,
Within thy gates no thing doth come		Jerusalem my happy home (F. B. P.)
Worlds above are bright and glorious,		Brethren, see my Jesus coming,
Worlds of light and crowns of glory,		Great Redeemer, friend of sinners,
Worlds of light and crowns of glory,		Brethren, see my Jesus coming,
Would not mine ardent Spirit vie		Do not I love Thee, O my Lord?
Would not my Heart pour forth its Blood		Do not I love Thee, O my Lord?


Y mae'r byd yn myned heibio		O Iachawdwr pechaduriaid;
Ye dear young men, for ruin bound,		TO-DAY,* if you will hear his voice,
YE golden Lamps of Heav'n, farewel [sic],		YE golden Lamps of Heav'n, farewel [sic],
Ye mourning souls in sore surprise,		My dearest friends in bonds of love,
Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,		All hail! The pow'r of Jesu's Name;
Ye slaves of sin, and hell		Blow ye the trumpet blow,
Ye Stars are but the shining Dust		YE golden Lamps of Heav'n, farewel [sic],
Ye weary, heavy laden'd souls,		Ye weary, heavy laden'd souls,
Ye who have sold for nought		Blow ye the trumpet blow,
Yes, and before we rise		Come, we that love the LORD,
Yes, my earth--worn soul rejoices,		When we hear the music ringing
Yes, now we know from whence this throng,		Say, now ye lovely social band,
Yes, Thou hast lov'd this sinful Worm,		My Jesus, while in mortal flesh
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,		Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
Yet a season and you know		RISE my Soul, and stretch thy Wings,
Yet again we hope to meet thee,		SISTER, thou wast mild and lovely,
Yet may I plead with humble cries,		GOD of my life, look gently down,
Yet may we meet and be complete		Farewell, dear brothers, fare you well,
Yet save a trembling sinner Lord,		Shew pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive,
Yet the saviour offers pardon,		Brethren, we have met to worship,
Yet, mighty GOD! our fleeting Days		Time! what an empty Vapour 'tis!
Yield to me now--for I am weak;		Come, O thou traveller unknown,
You my blest Guardian, whilst I sleep,		Glory to thee my God, this Night
Young ladies all attention give,		Young ladies all attention give,
Young man, how can you turn your face,		Young people, all, attention give,
Young people, all, attention give,		Young people, all, attention give,
Young people, all, I pray then view,		Young people, all, attention give,
Young women, now we look to you:		TO-DAY,* if you will hear his voice,
Your aged years have roll'd away,		Young ladies all attention give,
Your children all must be converted,		See how the Scriptures are fulfilling!
Your company's sweet, your union dear,		My dearest friends in bonds of love,
Your frolics and pastimes in which you delight,		Farewell, my dear brethren, the time is at hand,
Your head is blossom'd for the grave.		Young ladies all attention give,
Your love to me has run most free,		Brethren farewell, I do you tell,
Your sports and all your glittering toys,		TO-DAY,* if you will hear his voice,

Zion's children raise your voices,		HAIL the day so long expected!
