The Law and Gospel

Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: Curst be the man for ever curst Lyrics: 1 Curst be the man for ever curst, "That doth one wilful sin commit; "Death and damnation for the first, Without relief, and infinite." 2 Thus Sinai roars; and round the earth Thunder, and fire, and vengeance flings; But Jesus thy dear gasping breath, And Calvary say gentler things. 3 "Pardon and grace, and boundless love "Streaming along a Saviour's blood, "And life, and joys, and crowns above, "Ordain'd by a dear bleeding God." 4 Hark how he prays, (the charming sound, Dwells on his dying lips) forgive; And every groan, and gaping wound, Cries, "Father, let the rebels live." 5 Go, you that rest upon the law, And toil and seek salvation there, Look to the flame that Moses saw, And shrink, and tremble, and despair. 6 But I'll retire beneath the cross, Saviour at thy dear feet I'll lie; And the keen sword that justice draws, Flaming and red, shall pass me by.

A dying Saviour

The tidings strike a doleful sound On my poor heart-strings: deep he lies, In the cold caverns of the ground. 2 Come saints, and drop a tear or two, On the dear bosom of your GOD, He shed a thousand drops for you, A thousand drops of richest blood. 3 Here's love and grief beyond degree, The Lord of glory dies for men! But lo, what sudden joys I see! JESUS the dea, revives again. 4 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell How high our great deliverer reigns; Sing how he spoil'd the hosts of hell, And led the monster death in chains. 5 Say, live for ever wondrous King! Born to redeem, and strong to save! Then ask the monster, where's his sting, And where's thy victory, boasting grave? Text Sources: Lyric Poems

Naked as from the earth we came

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: After Sermon Lyrics: 1 Naked as from the earth we came, And crept to life at first, We to the earth return again, And mingle with our dust. 2 The dear delights we here enjoy, And fondly call our own, Are but short favours borrow'd now, To be repaid anon. 3 'Tis GOD that lifts our comforts high, Or sinks them in the grave, He gives, and (blessed be his name!) He takes but what he gave. 4 Peace all our angry passions then, Let each rebellious sigh Be silent at his sov'reign will, And every murmur die. 5 If smiling mercy crown our Lives, Its praises shall be spread; And we'll adore the justice too That strikes our comforts dead.
