A Summary View of the Creation

Author: Needham Hymnal: SHBA1792 #XXVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 1 First Line: Look up, ye saints, direct your eyes Lyrics: 1 Look up, ye saints, direct your eyes To Him who dwells above the skies; With your glad notes his praise rehearse Who form'd the mighty universe. 2 He spoke, and from the womb of night At once sprang up the cheering light; Him discord heard, and at his nod Beauty awoke, and spoke the God. 3 The word he gave, th' obedient sun Began his glorious grace to run: Nor silver moon, nor stars delay To glide along th' aetherial way. 4 Teeming with life, air, earth, and sea Obey th' Almighty's high decree; To every tribe he gives their food, Then speaks the whole divinely good. 5 But to complete the wondrous plan, From earth, and dust, he fashion'd Man; In man the last, in him the best, The Maker's image stands confest. 6 Lord, while thy glorious works I view, Form thou my heart and soul anew; Here bid thy purest light to shine, And beauty glow with charms divine.

The first Promise

Author: Beddome Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CXXII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Genesis 3:15 First Line: When by the tempter's wiles betray'd Lyrics: 1 When, by the tempter's wiles betray'd, Adam our head and parent fell; Unknown before, a pleasure spread Thro' all the mazy deeps of hell. 2 Infernal powers rejoic'd to see The new-made world destroy'd, undone; But God proclaims his great decree, Pardon and mercy thro' his son. 3 Serpent accurs'd, thy sentence read, Almighty vengeance thou shalt feel: The woman's seed shall break thy head, Thy malice faintly bruise his heel. 4 Thus God declares, and Christ descends, Assumes a mortal form, and dies; Whilst in his death, death's empire ends, And the proud conqueror conquer'd lies. 5 Dying, the king of glory deals Ruin to all his numerous foes: His power the prince of darkness feels, And sinks oppress'd beneath his woes.

But now I find an aching void, The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy dove return, Sweet Messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made thee mourn, And drove thee from my breast.

Ah, my Lord, thou know'st my name! Yet a question gives a plea, To support my suit with thee. 3 Thou did'st once a wretch behold, In rebellion blindly bold, Scorn thy grace thy power defy, That poor rebel, Lord, was I. 4 Once a sinner near despair Sought thy mercy-seat by prayer; Mercy heard and set him free, Lord, that mercy came to me. 5 Many days have pass'd since then, Many changes I have seen; Yet have been upheld 'till now, Who could hold me up but thou. 6 Thou hast help'd in every need, This emboldens me to plead: After so much mercy past, Can'st thou let me sink at last? 7 No – I must maintain my hold, 'Tis thy goodness makes me bold; I can no denial take When I plead for Jesus' sake.

A hymn for a fast day

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #DXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 18:23-33 First Line: When Abraham, full of sacred awe Lyrics: 1 When Abram, full of sacred awe, Before Jehovah stood, And, with an humble fervent prayer, For guilty Sodom sued; 2 With what success, what wondrous grace, Was his petitions crown'd! The Lord would spare, if in the place Ten righteous men were found. 3 And could a single, holy soul So rich a boon obtain? Good God, and shall a nation cry, And plead with thee in vain? 4 Britain, all guilty as she is, Her numerous saints can boast, And now their fervent prayers ascend, And can those prayers be lost? 5 Are not the righteous dear to thee, Now as in ancient times? Or does this sinful land exceed Gomorrah in its crimes? 6 Still are we thine, we bear thy name, Here yet is thine abode; Long has thy presence bless'd our land, Forsake us not, O God.

Know'st thou not, most righteous God, We on the paschal lamb rely? See us cover'd with the blood, And pass thy people by.
