Election, sovereign and free

Hymnal: DWI21790 #XX (1790) First Line: The potter moulds the pliant clay Lyrics: 1 The potter moulds the pliant clay, And forms to various shapes with ease; Such is our God, and such are we, The subjects of his high decrees. 2 May not the sovereign Lord on high Dispense his favours as he will, Choose some to life, while others die, And yet be just and gracious still? 3 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? 4 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. 5 Then shall he make his justice known, And the whole world, before his throne, With joy or terror, shall confess His sovereign power and pardoning grace. Scripture: Romans 9:21 Languages: English

Moses and Christ; or, sin against the law and gospel

Hymnal: DWI21790 #XXI (1790) First Line: The law by Moses came 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 different works were done; Moses a faithful servant stood, But Christ — a faithful son. – 3 Then to his new command Be strict obedience paid; O'er all his Father's house he stands The sovereign 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. Scripture: John 1:17 Languages: English

The different Success of the Gospel

Hymnal: DWI21790 #XXII (1790) First Line: Christ and his cross are all our theme Lyrics: 1 Christ and his cross are 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, power, and love, Shine in their dying Lord. 3 The vital savor 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 showers of heavenly rain, In vain Apollos sows the ground, And Paul may plant in vain. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:23-24 Languages: English

Children devoted to God

Hymnal: DWI21790 #XXIII (1790) First Line: Thus saith the mercy of the Lord Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the mercy of the Lord, "I'll be a God to thee; "I'll bless thy numerous race — and they "Shall be a seed for me." 2 Abra'm believ'd the promis'd grace, And gave his sons to God; But water seals the blessing now, That once was seal'd with blood. 3 Thus Lydia sanctify'd her house, When she receiv'd the word; Thus the believing jailor gave This houshold to the Lord. 4 Thus later saints, eternal king, Thine ancient truth embrace; To thee their infant offspring bring, And humbly claim the grace. Scripture: Genesis 17:7 Languages: English

Christ's Compassion to the Weak and Tempted

Hymnal: DWI21790 #XXIV (1790) First Line: With joy we meditate the grace 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 has felt the same. 3 But spotless, innocent, and pure, The great Redeemer stood; While satan's firey 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 every member bears. 5 Then let our humble faith address His mercy and his power; We shall obtain delivering grace In the distressing hour. Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 Languages: English

Religion vain without Love

Hymnal: DWI21790 #XXIX (1790) First Line: Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews Lyrics: 1 Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews, And nobler speech than angels use, If love be absent, I am found, Like tinkling brass, an empty sound. 2 Were I inspir'd to preach and tell All that is done in heaven and hell; Or could my faith the world remove, Still I am nothing, without love. 3 Should I distribute all my store To feed the bowels of the poor, Or give my body to the flame, To gain a martyr's glorious name — 4 If love to God, and love to men Be absent — all my hopes are vain: — Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal, The work of love can e'er fulfil. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Languages: English

Submission and Deliverance

Hymnal: DWI21790 #XXV (1790) First Line: Saints, at your heavenly Father's word Lyrics: 1 Saints, at your heavenly Father's word, Give up your honours to the Lord; He shall restore what you resign, Or grant you blessings more divine. 2 So Abra'm with obedient hand Led forth his son at God's command; The wood, the fire, the knife, he took, His arm prepar'd the dreadful stroke. 3 "Abra'm, forbear, the angel cry'd, "Thy faith is known, thy love is try'd; "Thy son shall live — and in thy race "Shall all the nations learn my grace." 4 Just in the last distressing hour Tie Lord displays delivering power; The mount of danger is the place, Where we shall see surprising grace. Scripture: Genesis 22:6 Languages: English

Pharisee and Publican

Hymnal: DWI21790 #XXVI (1790) First Line: Behold how sinners disagree Lyrics: 1 Behold how sinners disagree, The Publican and Pharisee! One doth his righteousness proclaim, The other owns his guilt and shame. 3 This man at humble distance stands, And cries for grace with lifted hands; That boldly rises near the throne, And talks of duties he has done. 3 The Lord their different Language knows, And different answers he bestows; The humble soul, with grace he crowns, While on the proud his anger frowns. 4 Dear Father, let me never be Join'd with the boasting Pharisee; I have no merits of my own, But plead the Sufferings of thy son. Scripture: Luke 23:10 Languages: English

Holiness and Grace

Hymnal: DWI21790 #XXVII (1790) First Line: So let our lips and lives express Lyrics: 1 So let our lips and lives express The holy gospel we profess; So let our works and virtues shine To prove the doctrine ALL DIVINE. 2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad The honours of our Saviour God; When his salvation reigns within And grace subdues the power of sin. 3 Our flesh and sense must be deny'd, Passion and envy, lust and pride! While justice, temperance, truth, and love, Our inward piety approve. 4 Religion bears our spirits up, While we expect that blessed hope, The bright appearance of the Lord, And faith stands leaning on his word. Scripture: Titus 2:10-13 Languages: English

Love and Charity

Hymnal: DWI21790 #XXVIII (1790) First Line: Let Pharisees of high esteem Lyrics: 1 Let Pharisees, of high esteem, Their faith and zeal declare; All their religion is a dream, If love be wanting there. 2 Love suffers long with patient eye, Nor is provok'd in haste; She lets the present inj'ry die, And long forgets the past. 3 She lays her own advantage by, To seek her neighbour's good; So God's own Son came down to die, And bought our lives with blood. 4 Love is the grace that keeps her power, In realms of light above; There faith and hope are known no more, But saints forever love. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:2-7 Languages: English
