The New Covenant in the Blood of CHRIST

Appears in 112 hymnals First Line: The Promise of my Father's Love Lyrics: 1 The Promise of my Father's Love Shall stand for ever good: He said, and gave his Soul to Death, And seal'd the Grace with Blood. To this dear Cov'nant of thy Word I set my worthless Name; I seal th' Engagement to my Lord, And make my humble Claim. 2 Thy Light, and Strength, and pard'ning Grace, And Glory, shall be mine' My Life and Soul, my Heart and Flesh, And all my Pow'rs are thine. I call that Legacy my own Which Jesus did bequeath; 'Twas purchas'd with a dying Groan, And ratify'd in Death. 3 Sweet is the Mem'ry of his Name Who bless'd us in his Will, And to his Testament of Love Made his own Life the Seal.

A Psalm of David, the Servant of the LORD

Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: The trespass of the wicked man Lyrics: 1 The trespass of the wicked man so plain and open lies; My heart concludes, the fear of GOD is not before his eyes. 2 For in his own deceitful view self-flatteries abound; Till his iniquity breaks out, and odious is found. 2 The words that issue from his mouth, are vain and guileful too; He quite hath ceased to be wise, and any good to do. 4 Yea, when he lies upon his bed, he mischief meditates; He set himself in no good way, nor any evil hates. [2 Part] 5 Thy mercy O JEHOVAH is within the heav'ns on high; thy faithfulness does also reach above the cloudy sky. 6 Like mountains great* thy righteousness! thy judgments a great deep! Both man and beast,Thou kindly LORD dost condescend to keep. 7 O GOD, thy loving-kindness is of wondrous excellence: Therefore in shadow of thy wings, men's sons put confidence. 8 Ev'n of the fatness of thy house, they to the full shall take; And of the stream of thy delights, to drink Thou wilt them make. 9 Because the flowing spring of life, ever abides in thee; And in thy light, the light of grace and glory we shall see. 10 O stretch thy loving-kindness forth to all who Thee do know; And to all those of upright heart thy righteousness still show. 11 I suffer not the foot of pride to make approach to me; Nor by the hand of wicked men let me removed be. 12 Lo There they all are fallen down, who work iniquities; Down are they cast, and never shall be able to arise. Scripture: Psalm 36

The Loveliness of a suffering JESUS

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Thou art all love, my dearest Lord Lyrics: 1 Thou art all Love, my dearest Lord, Thou art all lovely too; Thy Love I at they Table taste, Thy Loveliness I view. But Thou more lovely art to me For all that thou hast born: Each cloud set off thy Lustre more; Thee all thy Scars adorn. 2 Thy Garments tintur'd with the Blood, The best and noblest dye, Out-shine the robes that Princes wear; thy Thorns their Gems out vie. That I may be all Love to thee, And lovely like thee too, O cleanse me with thy precious Blood, And me thy Beauty shew. 3 My former Vows I now renew O Lord, as thou art mine, I freely give my Heart to thee, For ever I'll be thine.

A Psalm of Asaph

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Thou, who leadest Joseph as a flock Lyrics: 1 Thou who lead'st Joseph as a flock, O Isra'l's Shepherd hear, Who dwell'st between the cherubims, shine forth in glory there. 2 Before Manasseh, Benjamin, and Ephr'im: O do Thou, Stir up thy strength and quickly come, To us salvation show. 3 Turn us, O GOD, to Thee again, And cause thy countenance To shine forth upon us, and we shall have deliverance. 4 LORD GOD of hosts, how long wilt Thou, thus in thine anger smoke, Against thy people and their pray'rs, who Thee alone invoke. 5 Thou feedest them with flowing tears, which soak the bread they eat; And for their drink Thou giv'st them tears in measure very great. 6 Thou mak'st us a strife among our neighbours on each side; Our foes with one another vie, who shall us most deride. 7 Turn us again, O GOD of hosts, And cause thy countenance To shine forth upon us, and we shall have deliverance. [Part 2] 8 From Egypt Thou hast brought a vine, the heathen out didst cast; And in the land where once they spread, The vine Thou planted hast. 9 Before it room Thou didst prepare by thy subduing hand: And causing it deep root to take, it spread and fill'd the land. 10 The mountains high and all around, were cover'd with her shade; And like the cedar trees of God her branches wee display'd. 11 Yea, she as far as to the sea Her growing boughs did send; And to the mighty River she her branches did extend. 12 O why then hast Thou broken down, its hedge, and laid it bare; That all who pass along the way her fruitful branches tare. 13 'Tis wasted by the savage boar, that rushes from the wood; And all the wild beasts of the field devour it for food. 14 O GOD of hosts, we beg of Thee, return again, to thine; Look down from heav'n, behold and see, and visit this thy vine, 15 The vineyard which with thy right hand of pow'r Thou planted hast; The very branch which for Thy self Thou strongly didst set fast. 16 But now the vine with fire consumes, her branches are cut down; At thy rebuke they fade away, and perish at thy frown. 17 O with the man of thy right hand let thy hand present be, And with the son of man whom Thou hast made so strong for Thee. 18 So by thy grace, we never will revolt from Thee at all: O quick'n us now, and on thy Name we gratefully will call. 19 LORD GOD of hosts, turn us again, and cause thy countenance To shine forth upon us, so we shall have deliverance. Scripture: Psalm 80

How cold our Charity and Zeal! Lord, fill our Souls with heav'nly Fire, Or we shall ne'er perform thy Will.

The Prayer of Habukkuk the Prophet

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Thy speech, O LORD, I heard with fear Lyrics: 2 Thy speech, O LORD, I heard with fear: In midst of years thy work declin'd Revive, O LORD, and make it known: In wrath thy tender mercies mind. 3 Thy mighty god from Teman came, THE HOLY ONE from Paran hill; (Selah) His glory cover'd all the skies, And all the earth his praise did fill. 4 His brightness as the light appear'd, And beams of splendor from Him flow'd; Where was the hiding of his pow'r, There then it blazed all abroad. 5 Before Him went the pestilence: Coals glowing at his feet were spread; 6 When he stood up, the earth was mov'd: He look'd, and all the nations fled; Th' eternal mountains were dispers'd; The hills of perpetuity, Bow'd lowly down before his feet: His ways abide eternally. 7 The tents of Ethiopia then In great affliction I did see; the curtains thro' all Midian's land, Shook at the dreadful sight of THEE! 8 Against the rivers floods or seas, Did then JEHOVAH anger bear; That on his troops of horses rode; His CHARIOTS OF SALVATION WERE. 9 As to they tribes, to save them, THOU Thy solemn word and oath didst give; Made wholly naked was thy bow, (Selah) The earth with rivers THOU didst cleave. 10 Thee saw, and shook the mountains great; The floods of waters rolled by; His voice loud utter did the deep, And lifted up his hands on high. 11 The sun and moon, when Thee thy saw, Stood still amaz'd in their high Sphere: But quick mov'd at thine arrows light, And brighter glitt'ring of thy spear. 12 Thou marchest thro' the land in wrath, The heathen threshest as in rage: 13 In flames of zeal Thou goest forth, To save thy sinking heritage. With thy MESSIAH them to save; Thou from the wicked's house, the head hast quite cut off; and from his feet Up to his neck, all bare hast laid. (Selah) 14 Thou hast with his [MESSIAH's] rods struck thro' the universal head, Of all their num'rous villages, And all in desolation spread. They, as tempestuous whirlwinds, rose And rushed on, to scatter me; Their joyful hope was to devour The poor afflicted secretly. 15 But then I saw Thee walk along, And with thy horses thro' the sea, Thro' all the waters mighty heaps Against the dreadful enemy. 16 I heard! my belly trembled thro'; At thy loud voice my lips did quake; A rott'nness seized all my bones; I thro' my self did greatly shake: That in this day of trouble I Might in safe quietness repose; While for his people He ascends, And with his troops invades their foes. 17 Tho' figtrees should no blossoms yield, Nor any fruit on vines appear, The labours of the olive fail, And tho' the fields no food should bear; Tho' from the folds the flocks should cease, In stalls no cattle have abode; 18 yet in the LORD I will exult, And joy in my salvation's God. JEHOVAH is my Lord and strength: He makes my feet swift as the roe: He leads me to my places high, And makes me safe on them to go. Scripture: Habakkuk 3

CHRIST finishing his Purchase of Redemption

Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: 'Tis finish'd, the Redeemer crys Lyrics: 1 'Tis finish'd, the Redeemer crys, Then lowly bows his fainting Head, And soon th' expiring Sacrifice Sinks to the Regions of the Dead. 'Tis done--the mighty Work is done! For Men and Angels much too great; Which none, but God's eternal Son, Or would attempt, or could complete. 2 'Tis done,--his Tears, his Groans, and wounds, His Sweat and Blood, his Pains and toils, Vict'ry with deathless Glory crowns With Trophies, and triumphant Spoils. The conqu'ror falls a Sacrifice, Heav'n's just Resentments to appease; Justice with mercy now complys, Both with the Sinner's Pardon pleas'd. 3 Once he was dead; now lives and reigns Where Angels his great Deeds proclaim: Let's tell our Joys in pious Strains, And spread the Glory of his Name.
