Thus saith the first, the great Command

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.CXVI (1766) Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the first, the great Command, "Let all thy inward Pow'rs unite "To love thy Maker, and thy God "With utmost Vigour and Delight. 2 "Then shall thy Neighbour next in Place "Share thine Affections and Esteem, "And let thy Kindness to thyself "Measure and rule thy Love to him." 3 This is the Sense that Moses spoke, This did the Prophets preach and prove; For Want of this the Law was broke, And the whole Law's fulfill'd by Love. 4 But O! how base our Passions are! How cold our Charity and Zeal! Lord, fill our Souls with heav'nly Fire, Or we shall ne'er perform thy Will. Topics: Love to God and our Neighbour Scripture: Matthew 12:37-40 Languages: English

Behold the Potter and the Clay

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.CXVII (1766) Lyrics: 1 Behold the Potter and the Clay, He forms his Vessels as he please: Such is our God, and such are we; The subjects of his high Decrees. 2 Doth not the Workman's Pow'r extend O'er all the Mass, which Part to choose, And mould it for nobler End, And which to leave for viler Use?] 3 May not the Sov'reign Lord on high Dispense his Favours as he will; Choose some to Life, while others die, And yet be just and gracious still? [4 What if to make his Terror known, He lets his Patience long endure, Suff'ring vile Rebels to go on, And seal their own Destruction sure? 5 What if he means to show his Grace, And his electing Love employs To mark out some of mortal Race, And form them fit for heav'nly Joys?] 6 Shall Man reply against the Lord, And call his Maker's Ways unjust, The Thunder of whose dreadful Word Can crush a thousand Worlds to Dust? 7 But, O my Soul, if Truth so bright Should dazzle and confound thy sight, Yet still his written Will obey, And wait the great decisive Day. 8 Then shall he make his Justice known, And the whole World before his Throne, With Joy, or Terror, shall confess The Glory of his Righteousness.

The Law by Moses came

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.CXVIII (1766) Lyrics: 1 The Law by Moses came, But Peace, and Truth, and Love, Were brought by Christ (a nobler Name) Descending from above. 2 Amidst the House of God Their diff'rent Works were done; Moses a faithful Servant stood, But Christ a faithful Son. 3 Then to his new Commands Be strict Obedience paid; O'er all his Father's House he stands The Sov'reign and the Head. 4 The Man that durst despise The Law that Moses brought; Behold! how terribly he dies for his presumptuous Fault. 5 But sorer Vengeance falls On that rebellious Race, Who hate to hear when Jesus calls, And dare resist his Grace.

Christ and his Cross is all our Theme

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.CXIX (1766) Lyrics: 1 Christ and his Cross is all our Theme; The Myst'ries that we speak Are Scandal in the Jews Esteem, And Folly to the Greek. 2 But Souls enlightened from above, With Joy receive the Word; They see what Wisdom, Pow'r, and Love, Shine in their dying Lord. 3 The vital Savour of his Name Restores their fainting Breath; But Unbelief perverts the same To Guilt, Despair, and Death. 4 Till God diffuse his Graces down, Like Show'rs of heav'nly Rain, In vain Apollos sows the Ground, And Paul may plant in vain.

Faith is the brightest Evidence

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.CXX (1766) Lyrics: 1 Faith is the brightest Evidence Of Things beyond our Sight, Breaks through the Clouds of Flesh and Sense, And dwells in heav'nly Light. 2 It sets Times past in present View, Brings distant Prospects home, Of Things a Thousand Years ago, Or Thousand Years to come. 3 By Faith we know the Worlds were made, By God's Almighty Word; Abr'am, to unknown Countries led, By Faith obey'd the Lord. 4 He sought a City fair and high, Built by th' eternal Hands; And Faith assures us though we die, That heav'nly Building stands.

Do we not know that solemn Word

Behold the Wretch whose Lust and Wine

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.CXXIII (1766) Lyrics: 1 Behold the Wretch whose Lust and Wine Had wasted his Estate, He begs a Share among the Swine, To taste the Husks they eat. 2 I die with Hunger here, he cries, I starve in foreign Lands; My Father's House has large Supplies And bounteous are his Hands. 3 I'll go, and with a mournful Tongue Fall down before his Face; Father I've done thy Justice wrong, Nor can deserve thy Grace." 4 He said, and hasten'd to his Home, To seek his Father's Love; The Father saw the Rebel come, And all his Bowels move. 5 He ran, and fell upon his Neck, Embrac'd and kiss'd his Son; The Rebel's Heart with Sorrow brake For Follies he had done. 6 Take off his Clothes of Shame and Sin, (The Father gives Command) Dress him in Garments white and clean, With Rings adorn his Hand. 7 A Day of feasting I ordain; Let Mirth and Joy abound; My Son was dead, and lives again, Was lost, and now is found."

Deep in the Dust before thy Throne

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.CXXIV (1766) Lyrics: 1 Deep in the Dust before thy Throne Our Guilt and our Disgrace we own; Great God we own th' unhappy Name Whence sprang our Nature and our Shame. 2 Adam the Sinner: At his Fall, Death, like a Conqu'ror seiz'd us all; A Thousand new-born Babes are dead, By fatal Union to their Head. 3 But while our Spirits fill'd with Awe, Behold the Terrors of thy Law; We sing the Honours of thy Grace, That sent to save our ruin'd Race. 4 We sing thine everlasting Son, Who joined our Nature to his own; Adam the Second, from the Dust, Raises the Ruins of the First. [5 By the Rebellion of one Man Through all his Seed the Mischief ran; And by one Man's Obedience now Are all his seed made righteous too.] 6 Where Sin did reign, and Death abound; There have the Sons of Adam found Abounding Life; there glorious Grace Reigns through the Lord our Righteousness.

With Joy we meditate the Grace

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.CXXV (1766) Lyrics: 1 With Joy we meditate the Grace Of our High-Priest above, His Heart is made of Tenderness, His Bowels melt with Love. 2 Touch'd with a Sympathy within, He knows our feeble Frame; He knows what sore Temptations mean, For he hath felt the same. 3 But spotless, innocent and pure, The great Redeemer stood, While Satan's fiery Darts he bore, And did resist to Blood. 4 He in the Days of feeble Flesh Pour'd out his Cries and Tears, And in his Measure feels afresh What ev'ry Member bears. 5 He'll never quench the smoaking Flax, But raise it to a Flame; The bruised Reed he never breaks, Nor scorns the meanest Name. 6 Then let our humble Faith address His Mercy and his Pow'r; We shall obtain deliv'ring Grace In the distressing Hour.
