A Song to the Lamb that was slain

Hymnal: DWI21790 #I (1790) First Line: Behold the glories of the Lamb 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 angels worship at his feet, And saints around him throng The church on earth with joy shall meat, And join the heavenly song. 3 Eternal Father, who shall look Thro' all thy secret will? Who but the Son shall take the book, And open every seal? 4 He shall accomplish thy decrees, And all thy wonders tell: Lo! in his sovereign hand, the keys Of heaven, and death, and hell. 5 He hath redeem'd our souls with blood, Hath broke their prisoners chain; Hath made us kings and priests with God, And we with him shall reign. 6 Now, to the Lamb, that once was slain, Be endless blessings paid; With saints and angels fill his train, And glories crown his head.

The Nativity of Christ

Hymnal: DWI21790 #II (1790) First Line: Behold, the grace appears! Lyrics: 1 Behold, the grace appears! The promise is fulfill'd; Mary, the wondrous virgin, bears, And Jesus is the child! 2 To bring the glorious news, A heavenly form appears: He tells the shepherds of their joys, And banishes their fears. 3 Go, humble swains; said he, To David's city fly; The promis'd infant, born to-day Doth in a manger lie. 4 With looks and hearts serene, Go, visit Christ, your King; And strait a flaming troop was seen: The shepherds heard them sing. 5 Glory to God on high! And heavenly peace on earth; Good will to men, to angels joy, At the Redeemer's birth! 6 In worship so divine, Let saints employ their tongues; With the celestial host we join, And loud repeat their songs. 7 Glory to God on high! And Heavenly peace on earth, Good will to men, to angels joy, At our Redeemer's birth. Scripture: Luke 2:10 Languages: English

Submission to afflictive providences

Hymnal: DWI21790 #III (1790) First Line: Naked as from the earth we came Lyrics: 1 Naked, as from the earth we came, And rose 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 who lifts our comforts high Or sinks them in the grave; He gives, and (blessed be his name!) He takes but what he gave. 4 Peace, all our angry passions then! Let each rebellious sigh, Be silent at his sovereign will, And every murmur die. 5 If smiling mercy crown our lives, Its praises shall be spread, And we'll adore the justice too, Which strikes our comforts dead. Scripture: Job 1:21 Languages: English

The invitation of the gospel

Hymnal: DWI21790 #IV (1790) First Line: Let every mortal ear attend Lyrics: 1 Let every mortal ear attend, And every heart rejoice, The trumpet of the gospel sounds With an inviting voice. 2 Come all ye hungry starving souls, Who feed upon the wind, And vainly strive with earthly toys, To fill th' immortal mind; 3 Eternal wisdom has prepar'd A soul-reviving feast, And bids your longing appetites The rich provision taste. 4 Come, ye who pant for living streams, And pine away, and die; Here you may quench your raging thirst With springs that never dry. 5 Rivers of love and mercy here In spreading oceans join; Salvation in abundance flows Like floods of milk and wine. 6 Great God, the treasures of thy love Are everlasting mines, Deep as our helpless miseries are, And boundless as our sins.

Hope of Heaven, by the Resurrection of Christ

Hymnal: DWI21790 #IX (1790) First Line: Blest be the everlasting God Lyrics: 1 Blest be the everlasting God, The father of our Lord; Be his abounding mercy prais'd, His majesty ador'd. 2 When from the dead he rais'd his Son, And call'd him to the sky, He gave our souls a lively hope That they should never die. 3 What though our sins have doom'd our flesh Awhile with dust to blend, Yet as the Saviour rises first, His followers shall ascend. 4 There's an inheritance divine Reserv'd against that day, 'Tis uncorrupted, undefil'd, And cannot waste away. 5 Saints by the power of God are kept, Till the salvation come; We walk by faith, as strangers here, Till Christ shall call us home.

Christ's Commission

Hymnal: DWI21790 #L (1790) First Line: Come, happy souls, approach your God Lyrics: 1 Come, happy souls, approach your God, With new melodious songs; Come, tender to almighty grace The tribute of your tongues. 2 So strange, so boundless was the love That pity'd dying men, The Father sent his equal Son To give them life again. 3 Thy hands, my Saviour, were not arm'd With a revenging rod; No hard commission to perform The vengeance of a God. 4 But all was mercy — all was love And wrath forsook the throne; When Christ descended from above, And brought salvation down.

God glorified in the Gospel

Hymnal: DWI21790 #LI (1790) First Line: The Lord descending from above Lyrics: 1 The Lord, descending from above, Invites his children near; While power and truth, and boundless love, Disply their glories here. 2 Here in thy gospel's wondrous frame, Fresh wisdom we may view; A thousand angels learn thy name, Beyond whate'er they knew. 3 Thy name is writ in fairest lines, Thy wonders here we trace; Wisdom thro' all the mystery shines, And shines in Jesus' face. 4 The law its best obedience owes To our incarnate God; And thy revenging justice shows Its honours in his blood. 5 But still the lustre of thy grace Our warmer thoughts employs; Gilds the whole scene with brighter rays, And more exalts our joys.

Circumcision and Baptism

Hymnal: DWI21790 #LII (1790) First Line: Once did the sons of Abra'm pass Lyrics: 1 Once did the sons of Abra'm pass Beneath the bloody seal of grace; The young disciples bore the yoke, 'Till Christ the painful bondage broke. 2 By milder ways doth Jesus prove His Father's covenant, and his love; He seals, to saints his glorious grace, And kindly owns their infant race. 3 Their seed is sprinkled with his blood, Their children set a-part for God; His spirit on their offspring's shed, Like water pour'd upon the head. 4 Let every saint, with cheerful voice, In this large covenant rejoice; Young children, in their early days Shall give the God of Abra'm praise.

The Example of Christ

Hymnal: DWI21790 #LIII (1790) First Line: My dear Redeemer, and my Lord Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer, and my Lord, I read my duty in thy word; But in thy life the law is best IN living characters exprest. 2 Such was thy truth, and such thy zeal – Such deference to thy Father's will — Such love, and meekness, so divine, I would transcribe, and make them mine. 3 Cold mountains, and the midnight air, Witness'd the fervor of thy prayer; The desert thy temptations knew, Thy conflict, and thy victory too. 4 Be thou my pattern — make me bear More of thy gracious image here: Then God, the Judge, shall own my name Among the followers of the Lamb.

The Deceitfulness of Sin

Hymnal: DWI21790 #LIV (1790) First Line: Sin has a thousand treacherous arts Lyrics: 1 Sin has a thousand treacherous arts To practice on the mind; With flattering looks she tempts our hearts, But leaves a sting behind. 2 With names of virtue she deceives The aged and the young; And, while the heedless wretch believes, She makes his fetters strong. 3 She pleads for all the joy she brings, And gives a fair pretence; But cheats the soul of heavenly things, And chains it down to sense. 4 So, on a tree divinely fair Grew the forbidden food; Our mother took the poison there, And tainted all her blood.
