The Promises I Sing
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The promises I sing,
Which sovereign Love hath spoke;
Nor will th’eternal King
His words of grace revoke;
They stand secure, and steadfast still;
Not Zion’s hill abides so sure.
2 The mountains melt away
When once the Judge appears,
And sun and moon decay,
That measure mortals’ years;
But still the same, in radiant lines,
The promise shines thro’ all the flame.
3 Their harmony shall sound
Thro’ mine attentive ears,
When thunders cleave the ground,
And dissipate the spheres;
’Midst all the shock of that dread scene
I stand serene, Thy Word my rock.

Proclaim the angelic joys!

For us He reigns above:

Our Jesu’s conquering love!

Shall sink and die away:

Satan, the world, and sin;
But He shall tread them down.
And bring His kingdom in:
Join all on earth, rejoice and sing;
Glory ascribe to glory’s King.

In righteousness divine,
With all the hosts of God
In one great chorus join,
Join all on earth, rejoice and sing;

As fastened to the tree
The Lord of earth and skies,

The Friend of sinners love,
Whose death is immortality,
Is glorious life, and Heaven to me. Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT Text Sources: Unpublished Poetry of Charles Wesley, Vol. III (Nashville: Abingdom Press, 1992)

Hail Progeny Divine!
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Hail Progeny divine!
Hail virgin’s wondrous Son!
Who, for that humble shrine,
Didst quit th’Almighty’s throne;
The infant Lord our voices sing,
And be the King of grace adored.
2 Ye princes, disappear,
And boast your crowns no more;
Lay down your scepters here,
And in the dust adore:
Where Jesus dwells, the manger bare
In luster far your pomp excels.
3 With Bethlem’s shepherds mild
The angels bow their head;
And round the sacred Child
Their guardian wings they spread;
They knew, that where their sovereign lies
In low disguise Heav’n’s court is there.
4 Thither, my soul, repair,
And early homage pay
To Thy Redeemer fair
As on His natal day.
I kiss Thy feet, and Lord, would be
A child like Thee, whom thus I greet. Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scripture, by Job Orton (Shropshire, England: Joshua Eddowes & John Cotton, 1755)

Ye Sons Of Adam Join
Author: John Needham Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of Adam join
Throughout the spacious earth
In cheerful songs to hail
The great Redeemer’s birth;
Let your all hearts in concert move,
And every tongue be tuned by love.
2 The lofty heav’ns He bowed,
To earth the Savior came;
With joy th’angelic hosts
His royal birth proclaim;
For you, O men, is born, they sing
A mighty Savior, and a king.
3 ’Twas men He came to save,
And mortal flesh He wore;
Ye men with angels sing,
And in their strains adore;
Let your glad hearts and tongues combine
To praise the love, the grace divine.
4 Glory to God on high!
For great Emmanuel’s birth
Declares to men good will,
And brings down peace to earth;
Thus angels sang, and we’ll repeat
Their strains still new and ever sweet.
5 Abr’am the patriarch led
By faith’s unerring ray,
Abr’am the friend of God
Beheld this glorious day;
Distant his view, but yet so bright
He died o’erjoyed at this blest sight.
6 We see the ancient types,
The prophecies fulfilled;
With eastern sages we
Adore this wondrous Child;
God’s only Son, who came to bless
The earth with peace and righteousness.
7 Glory to God on high!
For great Emmanuel’s birth
Declares to men good will,
And brings down peace to earth;
Thus angels sang, and we repeat
Their songs still new and ever sweet. Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT Text Sources: Hymns Devotional and Moral on Various Subjects (Bristol, England: S. Farley, 1768)
