Adoption

Author: Cruttenden Hymnal: SHBA1792 #XCI (1792) Scripture: 1 John 3:1-3 First Line: Let others boast their ancient line Lyrics: 1 Let others boast their ancient line In long succession great; In the proud list let heroes shine, And monarchs swell the state; Descended from the King of Kings, Each saint a nobler title sings. 2 Pronounce me, gracious God, thy son, Own me an heir divine; I'll pity princes on the throne, When I can call thee mine; Scepters and crowns unenvied rise, And lose their lustre in mine eyes. 3 Content, obscure I pass my days, To all I meet unknown, And wait till thou thy child shalt raise, And seat menear thy throne. No name, no honors here I crave, Well pleas'd with those beyond the grave. 4 Jesus, my elder brother, lives, With him I too shall reign; Nor sin, nor death, while he survives, Shall make the promise vain. In him my title stands secure, And shall, while endless years endure. 5 When he, in robes divinely bright, Shall once again appear, Thou, too my soul, shalt shine in light, And his full image bear. Enough!—I wait th' appointed day, Bless'd Savior, haste, and come away! Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Adoption Languages: English

All in All; or, the Testimony concerning Jesus, the soil of prophecy

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCV (1792) Scripture: Revelation 19:10 First Line: The bible is justly esteem'd Lyrics: 1 The bible is justly esteem'd The glory supreme of the land, Which shows how a sinner's redeem'd And brought to Jehovah's right hand. With pleasure we freely confess The bible all books does outshine, But Jesus, his person and grace, Affords it that lustre divine. 2 In every prophetical book Where God his decrees hath unseal'd, With joy we behold as we look, The wonderful savioyr reveal'd: His glories project to the eye, And prove it was not his design, Those glories concealed should lie, But there in full majesty shine. 3 The first gracious promise to man, A blessed prediction appears, His work is the soul of the plan, And gives it the glory it wears. How cheering the truth must have been, That Jesus the promised seed, Should triumph o'er Satan and sin, And hell in captivity lead! 4 The ancient Levitical law Was prophecy after its kind, In types there the faithful foresaw The savior that ransom'd mankind. The altar, the lamb, and the priest, The blood that was sprinkled of old Had life, when the people could taste, The blessing those shadows foretold. 5 Review each prophetical song, Which shines in prediction's rich train, The sweetest to Jesus belong, And point out his sufferings and reign: Sure David his harp never strung, With more of true sacred delight, Than when of the savior he sung, And he was reveal'd to his sight. 6 May Jesus more precious become— His word be a lamp to our feet, While we in the wilderness roam, 'Till brought in his presence to meet! Then, then will we gaze on thy face, Our prophet, our priest, and our king; Recount all thy wonders of grace, Thy praises eternally sing.

Author: Beddome Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CLX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Revelation 22:16 First Line: Ye worlds of light, that roll so near Lyrics: 1 Ye worlds of light, that roll so near The Savior's throne of shining bliss, O tell, how mean your glories are, How faint and few, compar'd with his. 2 We sing the bright and morning-star, (Jesus, the source of light and love;) See how its rays diffus'd from far, Conduct us to the realms above 3 Its cheering beams, spread wide abroad, Point out the puzzled christian's way; Still as he goes he finds the road Enlighten'd with a constant day. 4 [Thus when the easter magi brought Their royal gifts, a star appears, Directs them to the babe they sought, And guides their steps, and calms their fears.] 5 When shall we reach the heavenly place, Where this bright star will brightest shine; Leave far behind these scenes of night, And view the lustre all divine?
