The Counsels of Redeeming Love
Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLV (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: The Eternal speaks, all heaven attends Lyrics: 1 Th' Eternal speaks: All heav'n attends:
Who that unhappy race defends,
While justice aims the blow?
See nature tremble at their fates:
Death with his iron sceptre waits:
Hell opes her adamantine gates,
And triumphs at their woe.
2 Which of the bright celestial throng,
With Love so warm, and heart so strong,
Dares languish on a cross?
Who can leave liberty for chains?
Abandon ecstacy, for pains?
What angel fortitude sustains
Th' inestimable Loss.
3 He said: And death like silence reign'd:
Deep was their awe: The radiant band,
The mighty task declin'd,
At once, heav'n's Prince the silence broke,
And ardent thus, the Sire bespoke,
"None, but thy Son can ward the stroke;,
Ten let the task be mine.
4 Mine, be the feeble infant state;
Mine, in return for love be hate;
A manger be my throne.
Pain, when thy glory calls, is bliss;
When man's in danger, torture's peace;
Shame praise; a paradise th' abyss:
Then yield thy darling Son."
5 Th' Almignty radiance smil'd assent,
Loud was the shout that ether rent,
All heav'n was in amaze.
Be born, in anguish to expire;"
Earth triumph: Angels strike the lyre,
To everlasting praise. Topics: The Wonders of Redemption, celebrated in Songs of Praise Scripture: Isaiah 49:8 Languages: English
The Counsels of Redeeming Love
Reconciler of All Things
Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCXXXVII (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: The Father's great decree Lyrics: 1 The Father's great decree
In Christ is now fulfil'd;
In spirit there we see
All things are reconcil'd,
And made conformable to God,
Wash'd from all filth in Jesus' blood.
2 Now heav'ns, and earth, we spy,
With hearts of God inspir'd,
Which ancient prophecy
Foretold, and saints desir'd:
That Jesus is this grace, is true,
Where old things cease, and all is new.
3 New nature, pure, divine,
New testament and plan,
New glories on us shine,
In Christ the heav'nly man;
Our old man he was crucified
And lost from us when Jesus died.
4 'Tis done! we're made anew,
And our intelligence
Receives the record true;
In spirit we commence
That perfect man, who did proclaim
The first, and last, to be his name.
Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testament Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:19 Languages: English
Reconciler of All Things
The Lord into his garden came
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns, from Various Authors, Supplementary for the Use of Christians. 1st ed. #CXI (1816) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 The Lord into his garden came
The spices yield a rich perfume,
The lilies grow and thrive,
Refreshing show'rs of grace divine,
From Jesus flow to ev'ry vine,
And make the dead revive.
2 O that this dry and barren ground
In springs of water may abound,
A fruitful soil become.
The desert blossom as the rose,
When Jesus conquers all his foes,
And makes his people one.
3 The glorious time is rolling on,
The gracious work is now begun;
My soul a witness is,
I taste and see the pardon free,
For all mankind, as well as me,
Who comes to Christ may live.
4 The worst of sinners here may find
A Saviour pitiful and kind:
Who will them all receive.
None are too late who will repent;
Out of one sinner legion's went,
The Lord did him relieve.
5 Come brethren, you that love the Lord,
And taste the sweetness of his word;
In Jesu's way go on,
Our troubles and our trials here,
Will only make us richer there,
When we arrive at home.
6 I feel that heav'n is now begun,
It issues from the sparkling throne;
From Jesu's throne on high
It comes like floods, we can't contain,
We drink, and drink, and drink again;
And yet we still are dry.
7 But when we come to reign above,
And all surround a throne of love,
We'll drink a full supply.
Jesus will lead his armies through,
To living fountains where they flow,
That never will run dry.
8 'Tis there we'll reign, and shout, and sing,
And make the upper regions ring;
When all the saints get home.
Come on, come on! my brethren dear,
Soon we shall meet together there:
For Jesus bids us come.
9 Amen! amen! my soul replies,
I'm bound to meet you in the skies,
And claim my mansions sure.
Now here's my heart, and here's my hand,
To meet you in the heav'nly land,
Where we shall part no more. Languages: English
The Lord into his garden came
The Lord of earth and sky
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns, from Various Authors, Supplementary for the Use of Christians. 1st ed. #CXII (1816) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 The Lord of earth and sky,
The God of ages praise!
Who reigns enthron'd on high,
Ancient of endless days,
Who lengthens out our trials here,
And spares us yet another year.
2 Barren and wither'd trees,
We cumber'd long the ground,
No fruit of holiness
On our dead souls was found;
Yet did he us in mercy spare,
Another, and another year.
3 When justice bar'd the sword,
To cut the fig-tree down,
The pity of our Lord
Cry'd--"Let it still alone:'
The Father mild inclin'd his ear,
And spar'd us yet another year.
4 Jesus, thy speaking blood
From God obtain'd the grace,
Who therefore hath bestow'd
On us a longer space:
Thou didst in our behalf appear,
And lo! we see another year.
5 Then dig about our root,
Break up our fallow ground,
And let our gracious fruit
To thy great praise bound;
O let us all thy praise declare,
And fruit unto perfection bear. Languages: English
The Lord of earth and sky
Bruiser of the Serpent's Head
Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #XLIII (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: The victory's won and Satan is down Lyrics: 1 The victory's won,
And Satan is down;
We now overcome,
His kingdom disown:
The seed of the woman
Hath bruised his head,
Hath made us that new man,
Which love had decreed.
2 In Adam we lost
Our Eden by sin;
But we now, thro' Christ,
Again are brought in:
The vail it is torn,
And paradise gain'd:
The Father hath sworn;
His promise shall stand.
3 Our nature's releas'd
From sin, death, and hell;
Jehovah is pleas'd
With man for to dwell:
A fit habitation,
In spirit, for God;
A blest, new creation,
Pronounc'd very good.
4 We mourn not the hour
That Adam did fall,
When his will and pow'r
Was forfeited all;
Nor are we now grieved,
His glory and crown
Could not be retrieved
By works of his own.
5 It was on this ground,
The myst'ry of grace
Did much more abound,
When Jesus took place
Of man, the offender,
To die as for sin;
And righteousness render
Complete, and brought in.
6 By this was made known
God's nature as love:
This we, in his Son,
Forever shall prove.
By means of transgression,
This grace was reveal'd:
This is our confession,
A truth God has seal'd.
7 When Adam was pure,
Yet mutable he:
In Jesus more sure,
Immutable we;
More highly exalted
In Christ the God-man,
Ne'er to be assaulted
By Satan again. Scripture: Genesis 3:15 Languages: English
Bruiser of the Serpent's Head
This is the field; the world below
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns, from Various Authors, Supplementary for the Use of Christians. 1st ed. #CXIX (1816) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 This is the field; the world below,
In which the sower, came to sow,
Jesus the wheat, Satan the tares,
Fro so the word of truth declares;
And soon the reaping time will come,
And angels shout the harvest home.
2 Most awful truth; and is it so,
Must all the world the harvest know;
Is every man the wheat or tare;
Then for the harvest O prepare:
For soon the reaping time will come,
And angels shout the harvest home.
3 To love my sins, a saint to appear,
To grow the wheat, and be a tare;
will serve me while on earth below,
Where tares and wheat together grow;
But soon the reaping time will come,
And angels shout the harvest home.
4 But all that truly righteous be,
Their Father's kingdom soon shall see;
Shine like the sun forever there,
He that hath ears, O let him hear:
And soon the reaping time will come,
And angels shout the harvest home. Languages: English
This is the field; the world below
Salvation, it is finished
Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLXI (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: 'Tis finished, the Redeemer said Lyrics: 1 'Tis finish'd the Redeemer said,
And meekly bow'd his dying head;
Whilst we this sentence scan,
Come sinners, and observe the word.
Behold the conquests of our Lord,
Complete for helpless man.
2 Finish'd the righteousness of grace,
Finish'd for sinners pard'ning peace;
Their mighty debt is paid:
Accusing law cancell'd by blood,
And wrath of an offended God,
In sweet oblivion laid.
3 Who now shall urge a second claim?
The law no longer can condemn,
Faith a release can shew;
Justice itself a friend appears,
The prison house a whisper hears,
Loose him, and let him go.
4 O unbelief! injurious bar!
Source of tormenting, fruitless fear,
Why dost thou yet reply?
Where'er thy loud objections fall,
Tis finish'd, still may answer all,
And silence ev'ry cry.
5 His toil, divinely finish'd stands,
But, ah! the praise his word demands;
Careful may we attend1
Conclusion to our souls be this,
Because salvation finish'd is,
Our thanks shall never end. Topics: Free, Complete, and Finished Salvation, ascribed unto the Just God, and the Saviour Scripture: John 19:30 Languages: English
Salvation, it is finished
To the haven of thy breast
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns, from Various Authors, Supplementary for the Use of Christians. 1st ed. #CXXIX (1816) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 To the haven of thy breast,
O son of man, I fly,
Be my refuge and my rest,
For O the storm is high!
Save me from the furious blast
A covert from the tempest be;
Hide me Jesus, till o'er past
The storm of sin I see.
2 Welcome as the water-spring
To a dry barren place;
O descend on me and bring
The sweet refreshing grace;
O'er the parch'd and weary land
As a great rock extends its shade,
Hide me Saviour, with thine hand,
And screen my naked head.
3 In the time of my distress
Thou hast my succour been;
In my utter helplessness
Restraining me from sin:
O how swiftly didst thou move
To save me in the trying hour!
Still protect me with thy love,
And shield me with thy pow'r.
4 First and last in me perform
The work thou hast begun;
Be my shelter from the storm,
My shadow from the sun:
Let me hang upon my God,
Till I thy perfect glory see,
Till the sprinkling of thy blood
Shall take me up to thee.

Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCCVIII (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: We the joyful sound have heard Lyrics: We the joyful sound have heard,
And, hearing, have believ'd;
What the gospel hath declar'd,
We, sinners, have receiv'd:
Blasted lies the creature's pride,
And human haughtiness sinks low;
Jesus, and him cruciiy'd,
Is all the bliss, we know. Topics: Hymns, adapted to Particular Parts of Public Worship Scripture: Psalm 44:1 Languages: English

Opener of the Seals
Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCXXXIV (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: What dazzling glories strike mine eye! Lyrics: 1 What dazzling glories strike mine eye!
How infinite the mystery;
What truth divine doth God reveal,
When Judah's Lion breaks the weal!
Expounds to man that sacred book,
Which from the Father's hand he took.
2 Long did this secret lie conceal'd
In God, nor was it yet reveal'd;
Nor men, nor angels, could discern,
Nor might the Father's nature learn:
Nor was there found a worthy one
To take the book, and look thereon.
3 But to dispel our gloomy fears,
A Lamb with marks of death appears;
Deep wounds, with blood exhausted vein,
Denoted that he had been slain:
And in that wounded form prevail'd
To read the book, tho' sev'n times seal'd.
4 When ev'ry seal is open broke,
And each attending voice hath spoke,
An universal silence reigns,
Whilst he the sacred page explains:
Yes! heav'n itself in silence waits,
What the dear, worthy Lamb relates. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testament Scripture: Revelation 5:5 Languages: English
