PART IV. Containing SACRED HYMNS Illustrating the glorious Excellencies of God's holy WORD and blessed Gospel HYMN 80. Psal. 119. 105. Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my paths 1 LIght is a pleasant thing to see Thy Word true Light doth give Nothing can Lord so pleasant be 'T is that by which we live 2 By which we walk by which we work And all things else we do All they who are without this light Don't know whither they go 3 Thy Word discovery Lord doth make It manifesteth things From thence we do our judgment take It Knowledge to us brings 4 What once we were we know hereby How sad was then our state Sin 's filthy nature through it we ' spy And it do come to hate 5 The way of our Salvation too It doth discover clear And how thou wilt be worshipped Whilst we do all live here The Second Part. 1 Who the true Church is we may see If thy good Word we heed And by it we the false Church know Which filthy is indeed 2 All things that needful are O Lord Unto eternal life Is plain discovered by thy Word Which ends all doubts and strife 3 That is hath been a long time Amongst us here on Earth About the Church and Truth of God But this all silenc'd hath 4 Light hath a clearing quality And by its heat things grow And by it too all Fogs do fly Such influences flow 5 As doth revive and sweetly chear The Soul that drooping lies
to such degree Your sin it deaden may And therefore see you careful be To cherish it each day 6 And sing God's praise continually Who makes the Fire burn And pray that he would blow it up Till all your work is done 7 And also cry unto the Lorâ— This Fire to kindle 〈◊〉 â—bout And sweetly burn in ev'ry place And never be put out HYMN 91. Jer. 23. 29 Is not my Word like a Fire and like a Hammer to break the Rock in pieces 1 ROcks they are hard to work upon Yea 'gainst a mighty Hand The hardest Flint or Pebble-stone Whole long it cannot stand 2 If thou O Lord art pleas'd to take The Hammer up and strike Thou wilt Impression quickly make Though none can do the like 3 There 's none can break our flinty Rock Besides thy self alone Alas our power is too weak To break such hearts of stone 4 What can the Hammer do O Lord Thou the great Agent art The Instrument that is thy Word O smite upon the heart 5 And make it yield and square it then For thy own bâ—â—ssâ—d design Thy Image on it Lord cut out Most holy and divine 6 And fit it for thy building too O set it in its place And life infuse into it so That it may shine with Grace The Second Part. 1 O let it be well polished And it also unite Unto thy building there to be A Jasper-stone most bright 2 That it may suit and well agree With the Foundation-stone Which is of Gold no Diamond More glorious ever shone 4 And then shall we when thus we be Into thy Building laid Have cause to sing unto our King By thy eternal aid 4 This Hammer of thy blessed Word Must drive the Nail quite home Or else Convictions will not stick Whenever they do come 5 The Precept Lord will not abide Nor Promise fast'ned be Nor no Conviction last in us Until drove home by thee 6 But since we find they fasten'd are Let us sing forth thy Praise And since thy Word so precious is Let us its Glory raise HYMN 92. Hymns on the Divine Authority of the Sacred Scriptures 1 THe sacred Scriptures are sublime Although mysterious be Their Matter shews they are divine Nay their divinity 2 Is seen by what they do treat of Or unto us make known There weâ—â— read of great Jehovah The high and lofty One 3 Of his dread Essence nature pure And of the Unity Between the Father Son and Spirit Or holy Trinity 4 There do we read of his great works Who did this World frame How out of nothing by his Word All things at the first came 5 There we may see and wonder too How infinite Wisdom shone Iâ— th' glorious compact made between The Father and the Son 6 In finding out and bringing in A way for to unite Justice and Mercy that so they Might equally shine bright 7 Here Justice doth with Mercy meet Like an endeared Brother And Mercy doth God's Justice greet And both do kiss each other 8 From hence ye may see cause to sing Th' Eternal One's high praise In bringing in of Jesus Christ With thankful hearts always The second Part. 1 Th' Antiquity of Scripture show That they are most divine For no Writings did the World know So soon as they did shine 2 This was the first and chiefest Book That e're was made or pen'd O therefore love in it to look Though you can't comprehend 3 The Mysteries that lye therein Hid from all carnal Eyes Yet since it hath so ancient been O see these lines ye prize 4 Their Royal descent from God alone Also does plain appear By their high Style and Majesty That shines in them most clear The Third Part. 1 The holiness which they promote To such a high degree May clearly ev'ry Soul convince Of their Authority 2 So pure and perfect is God's Word It silence may all them Who it oppose and Saints from hence It love and much esteem 3 This is the cause wherefore they love God's Words better than Gold Or Jewels rich which are esteem'd By most who them behold 4 They see God's Precepts are most just It doth all sins descry And ev'ry Lust and false way they Hate therefore bitterly 5 Th' admirable and sweet consent And blessed harmony That 's in the whole and ev'ry part Shews their divinity 6 The credit of their Pen-men too Whom none could ever charge With the least forgery or guile Doth prove to us at large 6 That they from God alone proceed Who did their Souls inspire In writing all-they written have That Grace we might admire The Fourth Part. 1 Their Prophecies accomplish'd were Which shews they are divine Exactly as to time and thing To matter and design 2 And the Miracles which were wrought These VVritings do confirm Must needs also herein be brought To shew from whence they came 3 The preservation they have had Was strange and marvellous And to their truth doth glory add For to be priz'd by us 4 The great success with which they met In midst of bitter Foes And how their power has prevail'd Their lasting glory shows 5 The VVorld by a few Fishermen By this most sacred Word Without the help of carnal force VVere turned to the Lord. The Fifth Part. 1 The harmony and joynt consent Of holy Men and good And Martyrs who seal'd to the Truth Of them with their dear Blood 2 Do shew their great veracity And may all Men convince They came from God therefore we must Bear up in their defence 3 Against all such who them oppose Or count them not divine For doubtless in all wise Mens sight By these their glory shine 4 The Evidence unto the heart VVhich to good Men they give Of God's great love who doth impart To all who them receive 5 In life and power his Image clear Bringing the old Man down Renewing of their inward Man So that they can't but own 6 The work which by this Word is wrought brought On them to be divine Thus from these hints which we have Gods VVord doth glorious shine 7 The very Heathen witness bear As to Matter of Fact Touching such things Scriptures declare That God and Christ did act The Sixth Part. 1 Berolus as Josephus shews Doth mention Noah's Flood And Pliny with some others speak How the most mighty God 2 Did Sodom turn by dreadful Flames Unto a dismal Lake Of Moses and his VVonders too VVe find the Egyptians speak 3 In their Records yea the Chaldeans And Grecians own the same And others shew with what high hand Isra'l from Egypt came 4 The Star which at Christ Jesus Birth To th' VVise-men did appear Pliny and Calcidius both Most plain and full declare 5 But there 's no need of Man's Record To Men we do not fly The witness of the glorious Lord Is full of certainty HYMN 93. Joh. 10. 35. And the Scripures cannot be broken c. 1 THe Scripture broken cannot be Let Men
transgress And against thee offend Thou wilt chastise us more or less By tryals thou dost send 2 But thou wilt not thy love remove Thy Covenant is sure 'T is but our Souls to try and prove To make us all more pure 3 Fathers we know have divers Rods And as the offence may be They lighter or the heavier strike And so likewise doth he 4 'T is always for our good we know He puts our Souls to grief And thou great bowels Lord dost show And sends us then relief 5 O then ye Saints don't think it strange That God his Rod doth use But bear it and give praise to him And mark what next ensues 6 After he hath you try'd ye shall Come forth like pure Gold And in Afflictions to you all God will his love unfold HYMN 131. Lam. 3. 2. And brought me into darkness 1 DArkness sometimes Lord doth invade The Children of the Day Yet we should when we want sweet Light Our Souls upon thee stay 2 The Sun sometimes is hid from us And then with us 't is Night So Darkness doth upon us seize When we have lost the sight 3 Of thee O Lord if thou art hid That we can't see thy face O then 't is night and we bewail Our sad and woful case 5 But though dark Clouds do cover us And we are in the night Yet will our Sun rise up and shine And we shall have sweet light 5 But O how sad and comfortless Is it i th' dark to dwell But what 's the darkness Saints see here To th' darkness that 's in Hell 6 Then do not mourn ye gracious Souls Your darkness soon will fly And you shall precious Light enjoy Unto eternity HYMN 132. Isa. 4. 6. A Covert from the Storm c. 1 SAd Storms and Tempests we expect Whilst Winter-days do last And so do Saints whilst they are here Look for a piercing blast 2 As by some certain Signs Men know A Storm is very near So do thy Saints O Lord likewise Foresee their troubles here 3 And therefore should prepare for them By warning thou dost give And carefully their lives amend And all more godly live 4 And also with the greatest care Haste to their hiding-place By Faith and Prayer get into thee For whilst they see thy face 5 And do enjoy thy presence sweet They nothing need to fear But we alas through unbelief Astonish'd often are 6 But let us know O Lord we pray That Ship can never sink In which the blessed Jesus is Whatever we may think 7 In this also much comfort lyes Thou canst the Winds command And still the Seas and make a calm By thy own mighty hand HYMN 133. Psal. 42. 7. All thy Floods and Waves are gone over me 1 THe Floods O Lord the Floods do rise They roar and make a noise The Floods break out and swell aâ—â—in And do list up their voice 2 There 's many Waters we do see That threaten us full sore The wicked rage and swell in wrath O Lord still more and more 3 They all conspire with one heart How they may thee withstand Arise O Lord and take our part They are in league and band 4 The Tents of all the Edomites The Ishmaelites also The Hagarens and the Moabites With divers others too 5 Gebal with Amon and likewise Doth Amaleck conspire The Philistines against thee rise With them that dwell at Tyre 6 O thou who sits upon the Floods To rule and govern all Break forth upon thine Enemies And give them their last fall HYMN 134. The Second Part. 1 ONe grief and then another doth Like Clouds their Waters pour The Floods of cursed evil Men Do threaten to devour 2 Thy People all O Lord look down Rebuke them in thy wrath Thou art our hope and our defence O stretch thine Arm now forth 3 And let them know they are but Men And must subject to thee What evil they intend to do Let it prevented be 4 And we will lift thy Name on high And them we will not fear If thou wilt Lord our sins forgive And for our help appear HYMN 135. Heb. 3. 7. To day if you will hear his voice 1 TO day O hear God's gracious Call O don't the time delay The morrow you must not boast of 'T is now whilst 't is to day 2 Night is no time to do work in And Night will soon be here O then repent and leave your sin I To Jesus lend your Ear. 3 To Day whilst the sweet Sun doth shine O hearken to God's Word Now whilst you have the Means of Grace Turn ye unto the Lord. 4 The Morning of your Day is gone Nay 't is already Noon The Evening too is coming on And here it will be soon 5 Your Sun begins to draw full low And quickly will go down Rouze up and do your work apace Before your Day is gone HYMN 136. Mat. 12. 20. A bruised Reed shall he not break and smoaking Flax shall he not quench 1 THat Soul O Lord in whom's begun The blessed work of Grace Tho' he may droop and broken be Yet shall behold thy face 2 The feeble and desponding Soul That 's like a bruised Reed Thou wilt Lord take pity upon And soon supply his need 3 Altho' he 's like to smoaking Flax Where little fire is seen Yet he shall see that work go on Which shall destroy his sin 4 Grace at the first seems to be small Which makes the Soul to doubt That in him there is none at all Yet thou wilt bring him out Of all his fears and he shall have A glorious victory And triumph shall in Songs of Praise To all eternity HYMN 137. 1 Cor. 15. 36. Thou Fool that which thou sowest is not quickned unless it die 1 LIke as the Seed which Men do sow Some time lyes in the Earth And then it sprouts and we all see A Resurrection hath 2 And as the Seed unless it die It is not quickened So we first die and afterwards Are raised from the dead 3 Death doth approach all Men must die And turn unto the dust The Grave that is the House for all And thither go we must 4 Uncertain is the time of death 'T is certain all must die And certain 't is when death doth come Comes in eternity 5 No Mortal can himself deliver From th' power of the Grave And as we die so we are sure Another life to have The Second Part. 1 The Resurrection-day will come When we shall rise again Remember well the Day of Doom And where you must remain 2 For if in sin at last you die To Hell you shall be cast But if in Christ you fall asleep Your happiness will last 3 For evermore you shall then be With Christ and holy Men Where you shall with the Angels sing All praise to God Amen 4 Blessed are they who in the Lord At last do come to die For as all such from labour rest So shall assuredly 5

The joyful Sound 1 WHo hath or doth O Lord believe Thâ— Report which thou hast given Many will hear â—but few receive Thâ— joyful News from Heaven 2 The joyful Sound that 's spread abroad There 's few which it do mind For though they have it often heard Yet not with hearts inclin'd 3 To that which is most truly good They have no mind at all But contrar'wise despise thy Word And do contemn thy Call 4 But unto some thou dost make known Thy glorious power divine And these are they that thou dost own And callest also thine 5 They do believe and also fear They love and do obey They cleave to thee and are sincere And follow thee alway 6 And them dost thou with Blessings crown They sing to thee therefore And hence it is thou dost them own And wilt for evermore HYMN 159. Psal. 23. 3.
