The Brazen Serpent; or, Looking to Jesus

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCLX (1791) Topics: Life of Christ, Characters and Representations First Line: So did the Hebrew Prophet raise Lyrics: 1 So did the Hebrew Prophet raise The brazen Serpent high; The wounded felt immediate Ease, The Camp forbore to die. 2 "Look upward in the dying Hour, "And live," the Prophet cries; But CHRIST performs a nobler Cure, When Faith lifts up her Eyes. 3 High on the Cross the Saviour hung, High in the Heav'ns he reigns: Here Sinners by th' old Serpent stung Look, and forget their Pains. 4 When God's own Son is lifted up, A dying World revives; The Jew beholds the glorious Hope, Th' expiring Gentile lives.

Who hath despsised the Day of small Things?

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCLXXVI (1791) Topics: Life of Christ, Characters and Representations First Line: The Lord that made both heaven and earth Lyrics: 1 The Lord that made both Heav'n and Earth, And was himself made Man, Lay in the Womb before his Birth, Contracted to a Span: 2 Matur'd by Time 'till forth he came, A Babe like others seen; As small in Size, and weak of Frame, As Babes have always been. 3 From thence he grew an Infant mild, By fair and due Degrees; And them became a bigger child, And fat on Mary's Knees. 4 At first held up for want of Strength, In Time alone he ran; Then grew a Boy; a Lad at Length A Youth; at last a Man. 5 Behold from what beginnings small! Our great Salvation rose! The Strength of God is own'd by all; But who his Weakness knows? 6 Thus Souls that would to Heav'n attain, Must Jacob's Ladder climb; And Step by Step the Summit gain, In Measure and in Time. 7 Let not the Strong the Weak despise; Their Faith, tho small, is true; Tho' low they seem in others Eyes; Their Sav'our seem'd so too. 8 Nor meanly of the Tempted think; For, oh what tongue can tell, How low the Lord of Life must sink, Before he vanquish'd Hell! 9 The least Believer is a Saint, And if our Growth be slow, We should not therefore tire and faint, Since Christ himself could grow. 10 As in the Days of Flesh he grew, In knowledge, Stature, Grace, So in the Soul that's born anew, He keeps a gradual Pace. 11 No less Almighty at his Birth, Than on his Throne Supreme: His Shoulders help up Heav'n and Earth, When Mary held up him.

The Name of Jesus

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXV (1791) Topics: Life of Christ, Characters and Representations First Line: How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds Lyrics: 1 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds In a Believer's Ear? It soothes his Sorrows, heals his Wounds, And drives away his Fear. 2 It makes the wounded Spirit whole, And calms the troubled Breast; 'Tis Manna to the hungry Soul, And to the weary rest. 3 Dear Name! the Rock on which I build, My Shield and hiding Place, My never-failing Treas'ry fill'd With boundless Stores of Grace; 4 By thee my Pray'rs Acceptance gain, Altho with Sin defil'd; Satan accuses me in vain, And I am own'd a Child 5 Jesus! my Shepherd, Husband, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King; My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the Praise I bring. 6 Weak is the Effort of my Heart, And cold my warmest Thought; But when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought! 7 Till then I would thy Love proclaim With ev'ry fleeting Breath; And may the Music of thy Name Refresh my Soul in Death.

Jesus, my All to Heav'n is gone

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXXXVII (1791) Topics: Life of Christ, Characters and Representations Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my All, to Heav'n is gone, He whom I fix my Hopes upon; His Track I see, and I'll pursue The narrow Way, till him I view. 2 The Way the holy Prophets went, The Road that leads from Banishment; The King's Highway of Holiness, I'll go, for all his Paths are Peace. 3 No Stranger may proceed therein, No Lover of this World, and sin; No Lion, no devouring Care, No Sin, nor Sorrow shall be there; 4 No; Nothing may go up thereon But trav'ling Souls, may I be one; Wayfaring Men to Canaan bound, Shall only in this Way be found. 5 This is the Way I long have sought, And mourn'd because I found it not; My Grief a Burden long has been, Because I could not cease from Sin. 6 The more I strove against its Pow'r, I sinn'd and stumbled but the more; Untill I heard my Saviour say, "Come hither, Soul, I am the Way." 7 Lo glad I come, and thou blest Lamb, Shalt take me to thee, as I am; Nothing but Sin I thee can give; Nothing but love would I receive. 8 Then will I tell to Sinners round, What a dear Saviour I have found; I'll point to thy redeeming Blood, And say, "Behold the Way to God."

Now be the God of Isra'l bless'd

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXCII (1791) Topics: Life of Christ, Characters and Representations Lyrics: 1 Now be the God of Isra'l bless'd, Who makes his Truth appear; His mighty Hand fulfils his Word, And all the Oaths he sware. 2 Now he bedews old David's Root With Blessings from the Skies; He makes the Branch of Promise grow, The promis'd Horn arise. [ 3 John was the Prophet of the Lord, To go before his Face; The Herald which our Saviour-God Sent to prepare his Ways. 4 He makes the great Salvation known, He speaks of pardon'd Sins; While Grace Divine, and heav'nly Love, In its own Glory shines. 5 "Behold the Lamb of God," he cries, "That takes our Guilt away: "I saw the Spirit o'er his Head, "On his Baptizing Day.] 6 "Be ev'ry Vale exalted high, "Sink ev'ry Mountain low; "The Proud must stoop, and humble Souls "Shall his salvation know. 7 "The Heathen Realms with Israel's land "Shall join in sweet Accord; "And all that's born of Man shall see "The Glory of the Lord. 8 "Behold the Morning-Star arise, "Ye that in Darkness sit; "He marks the Path that leads to Peace, "And guides our doubtful Feet."

Rock smitten; or Rock of Ages

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXLVIII (1791) Topics: Life of Christ, Characters and Representations First Line: Rock of Ages, shelter me Lyrics: 1. Rock of Ages, shelter me, Let me hide myself in thee! Let the Water, and the Blood, From thy wounded Side which flow'd, Be of Sin the double Cure, Cleanse me from its Guilt and Power. 2. Not the Labour of my Hands Can fulfil thy Law's Demands; Could my Zeal no Respite know, Could my Tears for ever flow, All for Sin could not attone, Thou must save, and thou alone. 3. Nothing in my Hand I bring, Simply to thy Cross I cling; Naked come to thee for Dress, Helpless look to thee for Grace; Black' I to the Fountain fly; Wash me, Saviour, or I die! 4. While I draw this fleeting Breath, When my Eye-Strings break in Death, When I soar to Worlds unknown, See thee on thy Judgment Throne, Rock of Ages, shelter me, Let me hide myself in thee.
