Savior the only one

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXCVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Savior First Line: Jesus, the spring of joys divine Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the spring of joys divine, Whence all my hopes and comforts flow; Jesus, no other name but thine Can save me from eternal woe. 2 In vain would boasting reason find The way to happiness and God; Her weak directions leave the mind Bewilder'd in a dubious road. 3 No other name will heaven approve; Thou art the true, the living way, (Ordain'd by everlasting love,) To the bright realms of endless day. 4 Here let my constant feet abide, Nor from the heavenly path depart; O let thy spirit, gracious guide, Direct our steps, and cheer our heart. 5 Safe lead us thro' this world of night, And bring me to the blissful plains, The regions of unclouded light, Where perfect joy for ever reigns. Scripture: Acts 4:12 Languages: English

Corner-Stone

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Cornerstone First Line: Lord, dost thou shew a corner-stone Lyrics: 1 Lord dost thou shew a corner-stone, For us to build our hopes upon, That the fair Edifice may raise Sublime in light beyond the skies? 2 We own the work of sovereign love; Nor death nor hell these hopes shall move, Which fix'd on this foundation stand, Laid by thy own almighty hand. 3 Thy people long this stone have tried, And all the powers of hell defy'd; Floods of temptation beat in vain; Well doth this rock the house sustain. 4 When storms of wrath around prevail, Whirlwind and thunder, fire and hail, 'Tis here our trembling souls shall hide, And here securely they abide: 5 While they that scorn this precious stone, Fond of some Quicksand of their own, Borne down by weighty vengeance die, And buried deep in ruin lie. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:6 Languages: English

Friend

Author: Newton Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Friend First Line: Poor, weak, and worthless tho' I am Lyrics: 1 Poor, weak and worthless tho' I am, I have a rich almighty friend; Jesus, the Savior, is his name, He freely loves, and without end. 2 He ransom'd me from hell with blood, And, by his power, my foes control'd: He found me wandering far from God, And brought me to his chosen fold. 3 He cheers my heart, my wants supplies, And says that I shall shortly be Enthron'd with him above the skies, O! what a friend is Christ to me! Pause. 4 But ah! my inmost spirit mourns, And well my eyes with tears may swim, To think of my perverse returns; I've been a faithless friend to him. 5 Often my gracious friend I grieve, Neglect, distrust and disobey, And often Satan's lies believe, Sooner than all my friend can say. 6 [He bids me always freely come, And promises what'er I ask: But I am straighten'd, cold, and dumb, And count my privilege a task. 7 Before the world that hates his cause, My treach'rous heart has throbb'd with shame Lot to forego the world's applause, I hardly dare avow his name.] 8 Sure were not I most vile and base, I could not thus my friend requite! And were not he the God of grace, He'd frown and spurn me from his sight. Scripture: 2 Samuel 16:17 Languages: English

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

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCV (1792) Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ All in All 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

Brazen Serpent

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Brazen Serpent First Line: When Israel's grieving tribes complain'd Lyrics: 1 When Israel's grieving tribes complain'd, With fiery serpents greatly pain'd, A serpent strait the prophet made Of molten brass, to view display'd. 2 Around the fainting crowds attend To heaven their mournful sigs ascend; They hope, they look, while from the pole, Descends a pow'r that makes them whole. 3 But, O, what healing to the heart, Doth our redeemer's cross impart! What life, by faith, our souls receive! What pleasures do his sorrows give! 4 Still may I view the savior's cross, And other objects count but loss; Here still be fix'd my feasted eyes, Enraptur'd with his sacrifice! 5 Jesus the savior, balmy name! Thy worth my tongue would now proclaim; By thy atonement set me free, My life, my hope is all from thee. Scripture: Numbers 21:8-9 Languages: English

Are these weak breathings of desire Too languid to ascend the skies? 2 No, Lord, the breathings of desire, The weak petition, if sincere, Is not forbidden to aspire But reaches thy all-gracious ear. 3 Look up, my soul, with cheerful eye, See where the great redeemer stands, The glorious advocate on high, With precious incense in his hands. 4 He sweetens every humble groan, He recommends each broken prayer; Recline thy hope on him alone, Whose power and love forbid despair. 5 Teach my weak heart, O gracious Lord, With stronger faith to call thee mine; Bid me pronounce the blissful word, My Father, God, with joy divine.

With pleasure, food, and safety blest; Beneficence divine! 5 Dear shepherd, if I stray, My wandering feet restore; To thy fair pastures guide my way, And let me rove no more. 6 Unworthy as I am, Of thy protecting care, Jesus, I plead thy gracious name, For all my hopes are there.

To him lift up your longing eyes, And hope for mercy in his name. 4 Pardon and peace thro' him abound; He can the richest blessings give; Salvation in his name is found, He bids the dying sinner live. 5 Jesus my Lord, I look to thee; Where else can helpless sinners go? Thy boundless love shall set me free From all my wretchedness and woe. Languages: English
