Lord’s Day 38, 2006

I reioyced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord. Psalms 122:1 (Geneva Bible)

HYMN 7, C. M.
The invitation of the gospel.
Isaiah lv. 1, 2, &c.
by Isaac Watts
(1674-1748)

Let every mortal ear attend,
And every heart rejoice;
The trumpet of the gospel sounds
With an inviting voice.

Lo! all ye hungry, starving souls.
That feed upon the wind,
And vainly strive with earthly toys
To fill an empty mind.

Eternal Wisdom has prepared
A soul-reviving feast,
And bids your longing appetites
The rich provision taste.

Ho! ye that pant for living streams,
And pine away and die,
here you may quench your raging thirst
With springs that never dry.

Rivers of love and mercy here
In a rich ocean join;
Salvation in abundance flows,
Like floods of milk and wine.

[Ye perishing and naked poor,
Who work with mighty pain
To weave a garment of your own
That will not hide your sin,

Come naked, and adorn your souls
In robes prepared by God,

Wrought by the labors of his Son,
And dyed in his own blood.]

Dear God! the treasures of thy love
Are everlasting mines,
Deep as our helpless miseries are,
And boundless as our sins.

The happy gates of gospel grace
Stand open night and day;
Lord, we are come to seek supplies,
And drive our wants away.

Psalme 110 (Geneva Bible)
A Psalme of Dauid.

1 The Lord said vnto my Lorde, Sit thou at my right hand, vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
2 The Lorde shall send the rod of thy power out of Zion: be thou ruler in the middes of thine enemies.
3 Thy people shall come willingly at the time of assembling thine armie in holy beautie: the youth of thy wombe shalbe as the morning dewe.
4 The Lord sware & wil not repent, Thou art a Priest for euer after ye order of Melchi-zedek.
5 The Lorde, that is at thy right hand, shall wound Kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shalbe iudge among the heathen: he shall fill all with dead bodies, and smite the head ouer great countreis.
7 He shall drinke of the brooke in the way: therefore shall he lift vp his head.
