All in All; or, the Testimony concerning Jesus, the soil of prophecy

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCV (1792) Topics: Christ the substance of Prophecy First Line: The bible is justly esteem'd Lyrics: 1 The bible is justly esteem'd The glory supreme of the land, Which shows how a sinner's redeem'd And brought to Jehovah's right hand. With pleasure we freely confess The bible all books does outshine, But Jesus, his person and grace, Affords it that lustre divine. 2 In every prophetical book Where God his decrees hath unseal'd, With joy we behold as we look, The wonderful savioyr reveal'd: His glories project to the eye, And prove it was not his design, Those glories concealed should lie, But there in full majesty shine. 3 The first gracious promise to man, A blessed prediction appears, His work is the soul of the plan, And gives it the glory it wears. How cheering the truth must have been, That Jesus the promised seed, Should triumph o'er Satan and sin, And hell in captivity lead! 4 The ancient Levitical law Was prophecy after its kind, In types there the faithful foresaw The savior that ransom'd mankind. The altar, the lamb, and the priest, The blood that was sprinkled of old Had life, when the people could taste, The blessing those shadows foretold. 5 Review each prophetical song, Which shines in prediction's rich train, The sweetest to Jesus belong, And point out his sufferings and reign: Sure David his harp never strung, With more of true sacred delight, Than when of the savior he sung, And he was reveal'd to his sight. 6 May Jesus more precious become— His word be a lamp to our feet, While we in the wilderness roam, 'Till brought in his presence to meet! Then, then will we gaze on thy face, Our prophet, our priest, and our king; Recount all thy wonders of grace, Thy praises eternally sing. Scripture: Revelation 19:10 Languages: English

Messiah

Author: Needham Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXXXV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prophecy Fulfilled First Line: Glory to God who reigns above Lyrics: 1 Glory to God who reigns above, Who dwells in light, whose name is love; Ye saints and angels, if ye can, Declare the love of God to man. 2 O what can more his love commend His dear, his only Son to send! That man, condemn'd to die, might live, And God be glorious to forgive? 3 Messiah's come—with joy behold The days by prophets long foretold: Judah, thy royal sceptre's broke, And time still prove's what Jacob spoke. 4 Daniel, thy weeks are all expir'd, The time prophetic Seals requir'd; Cut off for sins, but not his own, Thy prince Messiah did atone. 5 Thy famous temple, Solomon, Is by the latter far out-shine: It wanted not they glittering store, Messiah's presence grac'd it more. 6 We see the prophecies fulfil'd In Jesus, that most wondrous child: His birth, his life, his death combine To prove his character divine. 7 Jesus, thy gospel firmly stands A blessing to these favour'd lands: No infidel shall be our dread, Since thou art risen from the dead. Scripture: Genesis 49:10 Languages: English

'Twas by an Order from the Lord

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CLI (1766) Topics: Prophecy and Inspiration Lyrics: 1 'Twas by an Order from the Lord, The Ancient Prophets spoke his Word; His Spirit did their Tongues inspire, And warm'd their Hearts with heav'nly Fire. 2 The Works and Wonders which they wrought Confirm'd the Messages they brought; The Prophet's Pen succeeds his Breath, To save the holy Words from Death. 3 Great God, mine Eyes with Pleasure look On the dear Volume of thy Book; There my Redeemer's Face I see, And read his Name who dy'd for me. 4 Let the false Raptures of the Mind Be lost and vanish in the Wind; Here I can fix my Hope secure; This is thy Word, and must endure.
