The Excellencies of Christ
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Chief among ten thousand First Line: To Christ, the Lord, let every tongue Lyrics: 1 To Christ, the Lord, let every tongue
Its nobles tribute bring:
When he's the subject of the song,
who can refuse to sing?
2 Survey the beauties of his face,
And on his glories dwell;
Think of the wonders of his grace,
And all his triumphs tell.
3 Majestic sweetness sits enthron'd
Upon his awful brow;
His head with radiant glories crown'd,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
4 No mortal can with him compare,
Among the sons of men:
Fairer he is than all the fair
That fill the heavenly train.
5 He saw me plung'd in deep distress,
He fled to my relief;
For me he bore the shameful cross
And carried all my grief.
6 His hand a thousand blessings pours
Upon my guilty head:
His presence gilds my darkest hours,
And guards my sleeping bed.
7 To him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
And saves me from the grave.
8 To heaven the place of his abode
He brings my weary feet;
Shews me the glories of my God,
And makes my joys complete.
9 Since from his beauty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be thine.

The needy creatures good;

Be all thy wonders shew'd.
Leper.
3 Now, Lord, to whom for help I call,
Thy Miracles repeat;
With pitying eye behold me fall,
A leper at thy feet.
4 Loathsome, and vile, and self-abhor;d,
I sink beneath my sin;
But if thou wilt, a grcious word
Of thine can make me clean.
Deaf and Dumb.
5 Thou seest me deaf to thy commands,
Open, O Lord! mine ear;
Bid me stretch out my withered hands,
And lift them up in prayer.
6 Silent, (alas! thou know'st how long0
My voice I cannot raise;
But O! when thou shalt loose my tongue,
The dumb shall sing thy Praise.
Lame.
7 Lame at the pool I still am seen,
Waiting to find relief;
While many others venture in,

The lame shall leap for joy.
Blind.

O! let me find thee near;
Jesus, in mercy hear my cry,
Thou, son, of David, hear;
10 See, I am waiting in the way,
For thee the heavenly light;
Command me to be brought, and say,
"Sinner, receive thy sight."
Possessed.
11 Cast out thy foes, and let them still
To thy great name submit;
Clothe with thy righteousness, and heal,
And place me at thy feet.
12 From sin, and guilt, the power, the pain,
Thou wilt releive my soul;
Lord, I believe, and not in vain,
For thou wilt make me whole.

Jesus the most illustrious stands:
The radiant Beauty of his face
Superior love and awe demands.
2 Not Aaron or Melchizedek
Cou'd claim such high descent as he;
His Nature and his name bespeak
His unexampled pedigree.
3 Descended from the eternal God,
He bears the name of his own son;
And, dress'd in human flesh and blood,
He puts his priestly garments on.
4 The mitred crown, the embroider'd vest,
With graceful dignity he wears;
And in full splendor on his breast
The sacred oracle appears.
5 So he presents his sacrifice,
An off'ring most divinely sweet;
While clouds of fragrant incense rise,
And cover o'er the mercy seat.
6 The Father with approveing smile
Accepts the off'ring of his son:
New Joys the wond'ring angels feel,
And haste to bear the tidings down.
7 The welcome news their lips repeat,
Gives sacred pleasure to my breast:
Henceforth, my soul, thy cause commit
To Christ, thy advocate and priest.

Fountain opened for sinners
Author: Hart Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXVIII (1792) Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Fountain First Line: The fountain of Christ Lyrics: 1 The fountain of Christ,
Lord, help us to sing,
The blood of our priest
Our crucify'd king;
The fountain that cleanses
From sin and from filth,
And richly dispenses
Salvation and health.
2 This fountain so dear
He'll freely impart;
When pierc'd by the spear,
It flow'd from his heart
With blood and with water,
The first to atone,
To cleanse us the latter;
The fountain's but one.
3 This fountain from guilt
Not only makes pure,
And gives, soon as felt,
Infallible cure;
But if guilt removed,
Return and remain,
Its power may be proved
Again and again.
4 This fountain unseal'd
Stands open for all
Who long to be heal'd
The great and the small;
Here's strength for the weakly
That hither are led;
Here's health for the sickly,
And life for the dead.
5 This fountain tho' rich
From charge is quite clear,
The poorer the wretch
The welcomer here:
Come needy, and guilty,
Come loathsome, and bare;
Tho' lep'rous and filthy
Come just as you are.
6 This fountain in vain
Has never been try'd,
It takes out all stain,
Whenever apply'd;
The fountain flows sweetly
With virtue divine,
To cleanse souls completely,
Tho' lep'rous as mine. Scripture: Zechariah 13:1 Languages: English

Messiah

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.

Whose blood for us was shed,
Thro' whom we out of Egypt came;
Thy ransom'd people lead.

To guard and feed the chosen race,
In Israel's camp appear.
3 Throughout the desert-way
Conduct us by the light,
Be thou a cooling cloud by day,
A cheering fire by night.

With blessings from above,
And ever on thy people rain
The manna of thy love. Languages: English

High-Priest
Author: Cennick Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXC (1792) Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ High Priest First Line: A good high-priest is come Lyrics: 1 A good high-priest is come,
Supplying Aaron's place,
And taking up his room,
Dispensing life and grace:
The law by Aaron's priesthood came,
But grace and truth by Jesus' name.
2 My Lord a priest is made,
As sware the mighty God,
To Israel and his seed,
Ordain'd to offer blood:
For sinners who his mercy seek,
A priest, as was Melchizedeck.
3 He once temptations knew,
Of every sort and kind,
That he might succour shew,
To every tempted mind:
In every point the lamb was try'd
Like us, and then for us, he dy'd.
4 He dies, but lives again,
And by the altar stands;
There shews how he was slain,
Op'ning His pierced hands.
Our priest abides, and pleads the cause
Of us who have transgress'd his laws.
5 I other priests disclaim,
And laws and offerings too,
None but the bleeding lamb
The mighty work can do:
He shall have all the praise, for he
Hath lov'd, and liv'd, and dy'd for me.

The labors of his life were love;
O, if we love the Savior's name,
Let his divine example move.

How frail! how apt to turn aside!
Lord, we depend upon thy care,
And ask thy spirit for our guide.
7 Thy fair example may we trace,
To teach us what we ought to be;
Make us by thy transforming grace,
Dear Savior, daily more like thee. Languages: English

The robe of perfect righteousness.

And long to love and praise thee more.

O keep me, savior, near thy side;
I fain would give thee all my heart,
Nor ever from the Lord depart. Languages: English

And foaming waves to mountains swell,
No shipwreck can my vessel fear,
Since hope hath fix'd its anchor here.
