All in All

Author: John Murray Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CXCVI (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: Come, tho' we can truly sing Lyrics: 1 Cone, tho' we can truly sing, In our flesh dwells no good thing; Yet on him who gives us all, We're embolden'd still to call. 2 Blind, and foolish once were we, Christ our wisdom now we see; In this wisdom we confide, By this we are justifi'd; 3 Once in breaking God's command, Doom'd to death beneath his hand; Now we're call'd to own, and bless, Jesus Christ our righteousness. 4 Without purity of heart Truth divine will say depart, But this holiness we find, In the Saviour of mankind. 5 Many, mighty are our foes! Human these, angelic those, Where for refuge shall we flee? Christ our great redemption see! 6 Seraphs, flames of sacred fire, View this myst'ry with desire; Hark! the bright enraptur'd throng Catch, and raise the grateful song. 7 O ye thrones of heav'nly light, Since you're sav'd from endless night, And since we are rais'd to you, Let us still the song pursue.

Before Sermon

Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CCCV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Come worship at Immanuel's feet Lyrics: 1 Come worship at Immanuel's feet, See in his face what wonders meet! Words are too feeble to express His worth, his glory, or his grace. 2 When shall we climb those higher skies, Where storms and tempests never rise; Where he unveils his lovely face, And shines and reigns the God of grace? 3 Nor earth, nor air nor sun, nor stars, Nor heav'n, his full resemblance bears; His beauties we can never trace Till we behold him, face to face.

Praise for Salvation

Author: John Relly Hymnal: PHSS1792 #V (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: Come ye lovers of the Lamb Lyrics: 1 Come ye Lovers of the Lamb, Praise the great almighty name; To your God your songs begin, To the Lamb your bleeding King. 2 Jesus, thee we honours give; Live Almighty Jesus, live; Thou hast penn'd our songs with blood, Thee we hail, incarnate God. 3 We were laden once with sin, But the Lamb hath made us clean; We, who once in darkness lay, Now behold eternal day. 4 Strangers once and far from God, Now brought home by Jesu's blood, Shining in our wedding dress, In the Lord, our righteousness. 5 Poor, and low, we once did lie, Full of wants, and sore oppress'd; Jesus now hat rais'd us high, All our Grievances redress'd. 6 Deeply sinking once in hell, Without hope, and without God; Now our tongues can greatly tell, We are sav'd by Jesu's blood. 7 Freely we are sav'd by grace, Heart and Hand we this embrace; This below, fills ev'ry tongue This above, is all the song. 8 Praises still to Christ we sing, Christ our Prophet, Priest, and King; Living waters in us flow, Glory is begun below.

The only Perfect

Author: James Relly Hymnal: PHSS1792 #LXVII (1792) First Line: Could I of all perfection boast Lyrics: 1 Could I of all perfection boast, As pure as that which Adam lost, I'd sacrifice it to thy blood, My Christ, my all, my only good. 2 Were I as Abram, strong in faith, And boldly stedfast unto death; I'd bid my faithfulness adieu, And Jesus only faithful view. 3 If I more meek than Moses were, Quite free from anger, strife, or fear; Yet this I gladly would despise, And Jesus's meekness only prize. 4 Was I as Job submissive still, Patient, resign'd in ev'ry ill; Yet all should fade before his cross, Compar'd with him, it is but dross. 5 If I was wise as Solomon, Like him with zeal and ardour shone; Like him I'd vain and foolish see My wisdom, zeal, yea all but Thee. 6 Had I an Angel's purity; Yea even this I would deny; Nor good confess in name or thing, But Christ my Lord, my life, my King.

The Abasement of the Exalted

Author: James Relly Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CXXXIV (1792) First Line: Dear Lamb! thy humble state we sing Lyrics: 1 Dear Lamb! thy humbled state we sing, Thy name, thy wounds and blood we praise; We own thee, infant God, our King, And to thy throne our hearts we raise. 2 Humbled in poverty and pain, Temptation sore, contempt and scorn, The curse of earth for to sustain, Was the eternal Father born. 3 Empty'd of all, but tort'ring smart, His honour and his judgment lost: Deep, unknown sorrows fill'd his heart, His soul with fierce temptations tost. 4 By this, the everlasting grace, And boundless love of God appears; By this we see the Father's face, Where lost are all our sins and fears.

Man's Fall and Recovery

Author: Watts Hymnal: PHSS1792 #XVIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Deceiv'd by subtle snares of hell Lyrics: 1 Deceiv'd by subtle snares of hell, Adam our head, our father, fell, When Satan in the serpent hid, Propos'd the fruit that God forbid. 2 Death was the threatening: death began To take possession of the man: His unborn race receiv'd the wound, And heavy curses smote the ground. 3 But Satan found a worse reward; Thus saith the vengeance of the Lord, "Let everlasting hatred be "Betwixt the woman's seed and thee. 4 The woman's seed shall be my Son, He shall destroy what thou hast done; Shall break thy head, and only feel Thy malice raging at his heel." 5 "He spake, and bid four thousand years Roll on; at length his Son appears; Angels with joy descend to earth, And sing the young Redeemer's birth. 6 Lo, by the sons of hell he dies; But as he hung 'twixt earth and skies, He gave their prince a fatal blow, And triumph'd o'er the pow'rs below.

Christ's Passion, and the Sinner's Salvation

Author: Watts Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CXXXVIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Deep in our hearts let us record Lyrics: 1 Deep in our hearts let us record The deeper sorrows of our Lord; Behold the rising billows roll, To overwhelm his holy soul. 2 In long complaints he spends his breath, While hosts of hell, and pow'rs of death, And all the sons of malice join, To execute their curst design. 3 Yet, gracious God, thy pow'r and love Has made the curse a blessing prove; Those dreadful suff'rings of thy Son, Aton'd for sins which he had done. 4 The pangs of our expiring Lord The honours of thy law restor'd: His sorrows made thy justice known, And paid for follies not his own. 5 O for his sake our guilt forgive, And let the mourning sinner live: The Lord will hear us in his name, Nor shall our hope be turn'd to shame.

Redemption by Christ alone

Author: Steele Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CCLVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Enslav'd by sin and bound in chains Lyrics: 1 Enslav'd by sin and bound in chains, Beneath its dreadful tyrant sway, And doom'd to everlasting pains We wretched, guilty captives lay. 2 Nor gold nor gems could buy our peace; Nor all the world's collected store Suffice to purchase our release; A thousand worlds were all too poor. 3 Jesus the Lord, the mighty God, An all sufficient ransom paid; Invalu'd price! His precious blood For vile rebellious traitors shed. 4 Jesus the sacrifice became, To rescue guilty souls from hell; The spotless, bleeding, dying Lamb Beneath avenging justice fell. 5 Amazing goodness! love divine! O may our grateful hearts adore The matchless grace, nor yield to sin, Nor wear its cruel fetters more! 6 Dear Saviour, let thy love pursue, The glorious work it has begun, Each secret lurking foe subdue, And let our hearts be thine alone.

Deity and Humanity of Christ

Author: Watts Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CCVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Ere the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad Lyrics: 1 Ere the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From everlasting was the word: With God he was, the word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. 2 By his own pow'r were all things made, By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's head, And angels fly at his command. 3 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars; Thy generation who can tell, Or count the number of thy years? 4 But lo, he leaves those heav'nly forms, The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may converse hold with worms, Dress'd in such feeble flesh as they. 5 Mortals with joy beheld his face, Th' eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth! how full of grace! When thro' his eyes the Godhead shone! 6 Archangels leave their high abode, To learn new myst'ries here and tell The love of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel.
