Come, all harmonious Tongues

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LXXXIV (1766) Topics: Christ Humiliation and Exaltation Lyrics: 1 Come, all harmonious Tongues, Your noblest Music bring, 'Tis Christ, the everlasting God, And Christ, the Man, we sing. 2 Tell how he took our Flesh, To take away our Guilt, Sing the dear Drops of sacred Blood That hellish Monster spilt. [2 Alas, the cruel Spear Went deep into his Side, And the rich Flood of purple Gore Their murd'rous Weapons dyed.] [4 The Waves of swelling Grief Did o'er his Bosom roll, And Mountains of Almighty Wrath Lay heavy on his Soul.] 5 Down to the Shades of Death He bow'd his awful Head; Yet he arose to live and reign, When Death itself is dead. 6 No more the bloody Spear, The Cross and Nails no more; For Hell itself shakes at his Name, And all the Heav'ns adore. 7 There the Redeemer sits High on the Father's Throne; The Father lays his Vengeance by, And smiles upon his Son. 8 There his full Glories shine With uncreated Rays, And bless his Saints and Angels Eyes To everlasting Days.

Our Sins, alas, how strong they be!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LXXXVI (1766) Topics: Christ Humiliation and Exaltation Lyrics: 1 Our Sins, alas, how strong they be! And like a violent Sea, They break our Duty, Lord, to Thee, And hurry us away. 2 The Waves of Trouble, how they rise! How loud the Tempests roar! But Death shall land our weary Souls Safe on the heav'nly Shore. 3 There, to fulfil his sweet Commands, Our speedy Feet shall move, No Sin shall clog our winged Zeal, Or cool our burning Love. 4 There shall we sit, and sing, and tell The Wonders of his Grace, Till heav'nly Raptures fire our Hearts, And smile in every Face. 5 For ever his dear sacred Name Shall dwell upon our Tongue, And Jesus and Salvation be The Close of ev'ry Song.

Nature with open Volume stands

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #III.X (1766) Topics: Christ Humiliation and Exaltation Lyrics: 1 Nature with open Volume stands, To spread her Maker's Praise abroad; And ev'ry Labour of his Hands Shows something worthy of a God. 2 But in the Grace that rescu'd Man, His brightest Form of Glory shines; Here on the Cross 'tis fairest drawn, In precious Blood and crimson Lines. [3 Here his whole Name appears complete; Nor Wit can guess, nor Reason prove Which of the Letters best is writ, The Power, the Wisdom, or the Love.] 4 Here I behold his inmost Heart, Where grace and Vengeance strangely join, Piercing his Son with sharpest Smart, To make the purchas'd Pleasures mine. 5 O the sweet Wonders of that Cross, Where God the Saviour lov'd and dy'd Her noblest Life my Spirit draws From his dear Wounds and bleeding Side. 6 I would for ever speak his Name, In Sounds to mortal Ears unknown; With Angels join to praise the Lamb, And Worship at his Father's Throne.

Now let our Pains be all forgot

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #III.XVI (1766) Topics: Christ Humiliation and Exaltation Lyrics: 1 Now let our Pains be all forgot, Our Hearts no more repine, Our Suff'rings are not worth a Thought, When, Lord, compar'd with thine. 2 In lively Figures here we see The bleeding Prince of Love; Each of us Hope, He dy'd for me, And then our Griefs remove. [3 Our humble Faith here takes her Rise, While sitting round his Board; And back to Calvary she flies, To view her groaning Lord. 4 His Soul, what Agonies it felt When his own God withdrew; And the large Load of all our Guilt Lay heavy on him too. 5 But the Divinity within Supported him to bear: Dying, he conquer'd Hell and Sin, And made his Triumph there.] 6 Grace, Wisdom, Justice, join'd and wrought The Wonders of that Day; No mortal Tongue, nor mortal Thought, Can equal Thanks repay. 7 Our Hymns should sound like those above, Could we our Voices raise; Yet, Lord, our Hearts shall all be Love, And all our Lives be Praise.
