The Deceiver and Deceived
Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #XIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Lord! ev'ry knee to thee shall bow Lyrics: 1 Lord! ev'ry knee to thee shall bow,
Whether they stood or fell;
In heav'n above, or earth below,
Or in eternal hell.
2 All shall thy grace or fury prove;
Thy kingdom all shall own:
Man shall be happy in thy love;
Let Satan dread thy frown.
3 Thus ev'ry tongue constrain'd by grace,
Or power, shall confess
The Lord, with a confused face,
Or, Christ their righteousness.
4 Herein the Father's glorify'd,
That thou art Lord of all;
Whilst men and angels; swelling pride
Before thy feet shall fall.

The Deceiver and Deceived
James Relly
1722 - 1778 Author of "The Deceiver and Deceived" James Relly was born about 1722 at Jeffreston, Pembrokeshire, Wales, and died in 1778. He was converted to Christianity during the Great Awakening ushered in by George Whitefield. He worked under George Whitefield as a Calvinistic Methodist preacher and missionary. However, Whitefield and Relly separated ways over Relly's seemingly universalist teaching that all humanity was elect (i.e. saved) when Christ took the punishment for all sin when he died. He also departed from both the Calvinists and Methodists by taking the doctrine of Justification further, in teaching that believers no longer sin and the Law's sole purpose is to condemn humanity and point them to Christ.
He was the mentor of John Murray, the founder of the Universalist Church of America. Relly along with his brother John wrote Christian Hymns, Poems and Spiritual Songs in 1758, which John Murray had republished in America in 1776.
