HYMNS.

HYMN 1.

1 AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run;

Shake off dull sloth and early rise,
To pay thy morning sacrifice.

2 Wake and lift up thyself my heart,
And with the angels bear thy part,
Who all night long unweari'd sing,
High glory to th' eternal King.

3 Glory to thee who safe hast kept,
And hast refresh'd me whilst I slept,
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake,
I may of endless life partake.

4 Lord, I my vows to thee renew,
Scatter my sins as morning dew,

Guard my first spring of thought and will, And with thyself my spirit fill.

5 Direct, controul, suggest this day,
All I design, or do, or say:

That all my pow'rs with all their might,
In thy sole glory may unite.

6 Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise him all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye angelic host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

HYMN 2.

1 AWAKE my soul, awake my eyes,

Awake my drowsy faculties;

Awake and see the new born light,

Sprung from the darksome womb of night.

2 Look up, and see th' unweary'd sun,
Already has his race begun;

The cheerful lark is mounted high,
And sings his mattins in the sky.

3 Arise my soul and let thy voice.
In songs of higher praise rejoice;
O great Creator, heav'nly King,
Thy glories let me ever sing.

3 Thy pow'r has made, thy goodness kept, This senseless body when I slept;

Another day of life is giv'n,

To tell thy mercies, Lord of heav'n.

5 O keep my soul from sin secure, My life unblameable and pure;

That when the last of days shall come,
I cheerfully may meet my doom.

HYMN 3.

10 Come let us with one accord

Lift up our voice and praise the Lord;

Let us this morning bless his name,
And laud and magnify the same..

2 Let universal nature raise,
A cheerful voice to give him praise;
Let all the world his glory sing,
Who is their Saviour, Lord and King.

3 For by his word the heav'ns" were made,
The earth's foundation also laid;

All things were done at his command,
Which thro' all ages firmly stand.

4 Wherefore, let heav'n and earth agree,

To sing his praise in unity;

And let us here with one accord

Sing hallelujah, Praise the Lord.

HYMN 4.

AND are we now brought near to God,

Who once at distance stood?

And to effect this glorious change,

Did Jesus shed his blood?

2 Oh for a song of ardent praise, To bear our souls above!

What should allay our lively hope,
Or damp our flaming love?

3 Draw us, O Lord, with quick'ning grace,
And bring us yet more near;
Here we may see thy glories shine,
And taste thy mercies here.

4 Oh may that love which spread thy board, Dispose us for the feast;

May every humble, contrite soul,

Be found a welcome guest.

5 Fir'd with the view, our souls shall rise,

In such a scene as this;

And view the happy moment near,
That shall complete our bliss.

HYMN 5.

Air. AMB of God, that in the bosom
Of the Father dwellest high;

Deign to visit humble sinners,
From thy rest above the sky

Chorus. God incarnate, leave thy glory,

Air.

Nor abhor the virgin's womb;
Spread salvation like a river,
Jesus, let thy kingdom come.

Love divine, all love excelling,

Joy of heaven, to earth come down;
Fix in us thy humble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown.

Chorus. Jesus, thou art all compassion,

Air.

Pure unbounded love thou art;
Visit us with thy salvation,

Enter every trembling heart.

Shepherds, did you hear him coming,
Whilst you kept your flocks by night;
Did you see his star in heaven,

Blaze with new created light?

Chorus. Haste, ye Magi, come and worship, See the orient star before;

Air.

Bring your presents, gold and spices,
Blest Arabia's balmy store.

All ye joyous host of heav'n,

Loudly speak the Saviour's praise;
Saints and angels in full chorus,
Your seraphic voices raise.

Chorus. Come, O come, your hallelujahs,
In wide echoing songs proclaim;
Heav'n and earth with joy resounding,
Praise the blest Redeemer's name.

HYMN 6.

1 COME, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace!

Streams of mercy never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise:
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
