Love to Enemies: or, The Love of Christ to Sinners, typified in David

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #XX (1791) Topics: Life of Christ, Characters and Representations First Line: Behold the Love, the gen'rous Love Lyrics: 1 Behold the Love, the gen'rous Love, That holy David shows; Hark! how his sounding Bowels move To his afflicted Foes! 2 When they are sick, his Soul complains, And seems to feel the Smart! The Spirit of the Gospel reigns, And melts his pious Heart. 3 How did his flowing Tears condole As for a Brother dead! And Fasting mortify'd his Soul, While for their Life he pray'd. 4 They groan'd, and curs'd him on their Bed, Yet still he pleads and mourns; And double Blessings on his head The righteous God returns. 5 O glorious Type of heav'nly Grace! Thus Christ the Lord appears; While Sinners curse, the Saviour prays, And pities them with Tears. 6 He the true David, Isr'el's King, Blest and belov'd of God, To save us Rebels, dead in Sin, Paid his own dearest Blood.

Christ the Foundation of the Church

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #XXI (1791) Topics: Life of Christ, Characters and Representations First Line: Behold the sure foundation Stone Lyrics: 1 Behold the sure foundation Stone Which God in Zion lays, To build our heav'nly Hopes upon, And his eternal Praise. 2 Chosen of God, to Sinners dear, And Saints adore the Name, They trust their whole Salvation here, Nor shall they suffer Shame. 3 The foolish Builders, Scribe and Priest, Reject it with Disdain; Yet on this Rock the Church shall rest, And Envy rage in vain. 4 What though the Gates of Hell withstood, Yet must this Building rise; 'Tis Thy own Work, almighty God, And wond'rous in our Eyes.

Character of Christ

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #XC (1791) Topics: Life of Christ, Characters and Representations First Line: Go, worship at Immanuel's Feet Lyrics: 1 Go worship at IMMANUEL's Feet, See in his Face what Wonders meet! Earth is too narrow to express His Worth, his Glory, or his Grace. [2 The whole Creation can afford But some faint Shadows of my LORD; Nature, to make his Beauties known, Must mingle colours not her own.] [3 Is he compar'd to wine or Bread? Dear LORD! our Souls would thus be fed: That Flesh, that dying Blood of thine, Is Bread of Life, is heav'nly Wine. [4 Is he a Tree? The World receives Salvation from his healing Leaves: That righteous Branch, that fruitful Bough, Is David's Root and Offspring too.] [5 Is he a Rose? Not Sharon yields, Such Fragrancy in all her Fields: Or if the Lilly he assume, The Vallies bless the rich Perfume.] [6 Is he a Vine? his heav'nly Root Supplies the Boughs with Life and Fruit. O let a lasting Union join My Soul to CHRIST the living Vine!] [7 Is he a Head? Each Member lives And owns the Vital Pow'r he gives; The Saints below and Saints above, Join'd by his Spirit and his Love.] [8 Is he a Fountain? There I bathe, And heal the Plague of Sin and Death: These Waters all my Soul renew, And cleanse my spotted Garments too.] [9 Is he a Fire? He'll purge my Dross: But the true Gold sustains no Loss: Like a Refiner shall he sit, And tread the Refuse with his Feet.] [10 Is he a Rock? How firm he proves! The Rock of Ages never moves; Yet the sweet Streams that from him flow Attend us all the Desart thro'.] [11 Is he a Way? He leads to GOD, The Path is drawn in Lines of Blood; There would I walk with Hope and Zeal, 'Till I arrive at Zion's Hill.] [12 Is he a Door? I'll enter in; Behold the Pastures large and green, A Paradise divinely fair, None but the Sheep have Freedom there.] [13 Is he design'd the Corner-Stone, For Men to build their Heav'n upon? I'll make him my Foundation too, Nor fear the Plots of Hell below.] [14 Is he a Temple? I adore Th' indwelling Majesty and Pow'r; And still to his most Holy Place, Whene'er I pray, I'll turn my Face.] [15 Is he a Star? He breaks the Night, Piercing the Shades with dawning Light; I know his Glories from afar, I know the bright, the Morning Star.] [16 Is he a Sun? His Beams are Grace, His Course is Joy and Righteousness; Nations rejoice when he appears To chase their Clouds, and dry their Tears.] [17 O let me climb those higher Skies, Where Storms and Darkness never rise! There he displays his Pow'rs abroad, And shines and Reigns th' Incarnate GOD.] 18 Nor Earth, nor Seas, nor Sun, nor Stars, Nor Heav'n his full Resemblance bears; His Beauties we can never Trace, Till we behold him Face to Face.

Christ's dying Love; Or, Our Pardon bought at a dear Price

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CVI (1791) Topics: Life of Christ, Characters and Representations First Line: How condescending, and how kind Lyrics: 1 How condescending, and how kind Was God's Eternal Son! Our Mis'ry reach'd his heav'nly Mind, And Pity brought him down. [2 When Justice, by our Sins provok'd, Drew forth its dreadful Sword, He gave his Soul up to the Stroke Without a murm'ring Word. 3 He sunk beneath our heavy Woes, To raise us to his Throne; There's ne'er a Gift his Hand bestows But cost his Heart a Groan.] 4 This was Compassion like a God, That when the Savioir knew The Price of Pardon was his Blood, His Pity ne'er withdrew. 5 Now tho' he reigns exalted High, His love is still as great; Well he remembers Calvary, Nor let his saints forget. [6 Here we behold his bowels roll, As kind as when he dy'd; And see the sorrows of his Soul Bleed thro' his wounded side.] [7 Here we receive repeated Seals Of Jesus' dying Love: Hard is the Wretch that never feels One soft Affection move.] 8 Here let our Hearts begin to melt While we his Death record, And with our Joy for pardon'd Guilt, Mourn that we pierc'd the Lord.
