Repentance and free pardon; or, Justification and sanctification

Hymnal: PCSC1791 #65a (1791) First Line: Bless'd is the man forever bless'd Lyrics: 1 Bless'd is the man, forever bless'd, Whose guilt is pardon'd by his God, Whose sins with sorrow are confess'd, And cover'd with his Saviour's blood. 2 Before his judgment-seat the Lord Nor more permits his crimes to rise; He pleads no merit of reward, And not on works, but grace, relies. 3 From guile his heart and lips are free, His humble joy, his holy fear, With deep repentance well agree, And join to prove his faith sincere. 4 How glorious is that righteousness, That hides and cancels all his sins? While a bright evidence of grace Through all his life appears and shines. Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English

What agonies of inward smart! 2 I spread my sins before the Lord, And all my secret faults confess; Thy gospel speaks a pard'ning word, Thine holy spirit seals the grace. 3 For this shall every humble soul Make swift addresses to thy seat! When floods of huge temptations roll, There shall they find a blest retreat. 4 How safe beneath thy wings I lie, When days grow dark and storms appear! And when I walk, thy watchful eye Shall guide me safe from ev'ry snare. Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English

Creatures vain, and God all-sufficient

Hymnal: PCSC1791 #68 (1791) First Line: Oh happy nation, where the Lord Lyrics: 1 Oh happy nation, where the Lord Reveals the treasure of his word, And builds his church his earthly throne! His eye the heathen world surveys, He form'd their hearts, he knows their ways, But God their maker is unknown. 2 Let kings rely upon their host, And of his strength the champion boast; In vain they boast, in vain rely; In vain we trust the brutal force, Or speed or courage of an horse, To guard his rider, or to fly. 3 The arm of our almighty Lord, Doth more secure defence afford, When deaths or dangers threat'ning stand: Thy watchful eye preserves the just, Who make thy name their fear and trust, When wars or famine waste the land. 4 In sickness or the bloody field, Our great physician and our shield, Shall send salvation from his throne; We wait to see thy goodness shine; Let us rejoice in help divine, For all our hope is God alone.
