Behold the Glories of the Lamb

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.I (1766) Lyrics: 1 Behold the Glories of the Lamb Amidst his Father’s Throne; Prepare new Honours for his Name, And Songs before unknown. 2 Let Elders worship at his Feet, The Church adore around, With Vials full of Odours sweet, And Harps of sweetest Sound. 3 Those are the Prayers of the Saints, And these the Hymns they raise: Jesus is kind to our Complaints, He loves to hear our Praise. [4 Eternal Father, who shall look Into thy secret Will? Who but the son should take that Book, And open ev'ry Seal? 5 He shall fulfil thy great Decrees, The Son deserves it well; Lo, in his Head the Sov'reign Keys Of Heav'n, and Death,and Hell.] 6 Now to the Lamb that once was slain, Be endless Blessings paid; Salvation, Glory, Joy remain For ever on thy Head. 7 Thou hast redeem'd our Souls with Blood, Hast set the Pris’ners free, Hast made us Kings and Priests to God, And we shall reign with Thee. 8 The Worlds of Nature and of Grace Are put beneath thy Pow'r; Then shorten these delaying Days, And bring the promis'd Hour.

E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.II (1766) Lyrics: 1 E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From Everlasting was the Word; With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. 2 By his own Pow'r were all Things made; By him supported all Things stand; He is the whole Creation's Head, And Angels fly at his Command. 3 E'er Sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the Host of Morning-Stars; (Thy Generation who can tell, Or count the Numbers of thy Years?) 4 But lo, he leaves those Heav'nly Forms, The Word descends and dwells in Clay, That he may hold Converse with Worms, Drest in such feeble Flesh as they. 5 Mortals with Joy beheld his Face, Th' Eternal Father's only Son; How full of Truth! how full of Grace! When thro' his Eyes the Godhead shone! 6 Arch-Angels leave their high Abode, To learn new Myst'ries here, and tell The Loves of our descending God, The Glories of EMANUEL.

Naked as from the Earth we came

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.V (1766) Lyrics: 1 Naked, as from the Earth we came, And crept to Life at first, We to the Earth return again, And mingle with our Dust. 2 The dear Delights we here enjoy, And fondly call our own, Are but short Favours borrow'd Now, To be repaid Anon. 3 'Tis God that lifts our Comforts high, Or sinks them in the Grave, He gives, and (blessed by his Name) He takes but what he gave. 4 Peace, all our angry Passions, then Let each rebellious Sigh Be silent at his Sov'reign Will, And ev'ry Murmur die. 5 If smiling Mercy crown our Lives, Its Praises shall be spread, And we'll adore the Justice too That strikes our Comforts dead.

In vain we lavish out our Lives

And from the Treasures of his Grace Bestow a softer Mind. 9 There shall his sacred Spirit dwell, And deep engrave his Law, And ev'ry Motion of our Souls To swift Obedience draw. 10 Thus will he pour Salvation down, And we shall render Praise; We the dear People of his Love, And he our God of Grace.
