Consolation of Israel
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXII (1792) Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Consolation of Israel First Line: Come, thou long expected Jesus Lyrics: 1 Come, thou long expected Jesus,
Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in thee:
Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the saints thou art;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
2 Born thy people to deliver;
Born a child and yet a king;
Born to reign in us for ever,
Now thy gracious kingdom bring:
By thine own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne. Scripture: Luke 2:25 Languages: English

King of Saints
Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXXV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ King First Line: Come, ye that love the Savior's name Lyrics: 1 Come, ye that love the Savior's name,
And joy to make it known,
The Sovereign of your heart proclaim,
And bow before his throne.
2 Behold your King, your Savior crown'd
With glories all divine;
And tell the wondering nations round,
How bright those glories shine.
3 Infinite power, and boundless grace,
In him unite their rays:
You that have e'er beheld his face,
Can you forbear his praise?
4 When in his earthly courts we view
The glories of our king;
We long to love as angels do,
And wish like them to sing.
5 And shall we long and wish in vain?
Lord, teach our songs to rise!
Thy love can animate the train,
And bid it reach the skies.
6 O happy period! glorious day!
When heaven and earth shall raise,
With all their powers, the raptur'd lay,
To celebrate thy praise.

Phisician of Souls
Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXXXVIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Physician of Souls First Line: Deep are the wounds which sin has made Lyrics: 1 Deep are the wounds which sin hath made
Where shall the sinner find a cure?
In vain, alas, is nature's aid,
The work exceeds all nature's power.
2 Sin like a raging fever, reigns,
With fatal strength in every part;
The dire contagion fills the veins,
And spreads its poison to the heart.
3 And can no sovereign balm be found?
And is no kind phisician nigh
To ease the pain, and heal the wound,
Ere life and hope for ever fly?
4 There is a great phisician near,
Look up, O fainting soul, and live;
See, in his heavenly smiles appear
Such ease as nature cannot give!
5 See in the Savior's dying blood
Life, health, and bliss, abundant flow!
'Tis only this dear, sacred flood
Can ease thy pain and heal thy woe.
6 Sin throws in vain its pointed dart,
For here a sovereign Cure is found;
A cordial for a fainting heart,
A balm for every painful wound. Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22 Languages: English

Bread of Life
Author: Fawcett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLVIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Bread of Life First Line: Depraved minds on ashes feed Lyrics: 1 Depraved minds on ashes feed,
Nor love, nor seek for heavenly bread;
They chuse the husks which swine do eat,
Or manly crave the serpent's meat.
2 Jesus, thou art the living bread,
By which our need souls are fed:
In thee alone thy children find
Enough to fill the empty mind.
3 Without this bread, I starve and die;
No other can my need supply:
But this will suit my wretched case,
Abroad, at home, in every place.
4 'Tis this relieves the hungry poor,
Who ask for bread at mercy's door;
This living food descends from heaven,
As manna to the Jews was giv'n.
5 This precious food my heart revives,
What strength, what nourishment it gives!
O let me evermore be fed
With this divine celestial bread. Scripture: John 6:35 Languages: English
Bread of Life
Sun
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXCIX (1792) Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Sun First Line: Great God, amid the darksome night Lyrics: 1 Great God, amid the darksome night,
Thy glories dart upon my sight,
While, wrapt in wonder, I behold
The silver moon and stars of glod.
2 But when I see the sun arise,
And pour his glories o'er the skies,
In more stupendous forms I view
Thy greatness and thy goodness too.
3 Thy sun of suns, whose dazzling light
Tries and confounds an angel's sight,
How shall I glance mine eye at thee
In all thy vast immensity?
4 Yet I may be allow'd to trace
The distant shadow of thy face,
As in the pale and sickly moon
We trace the image of the sun.
5 In every work thy hands have made
Thy power and wisdom are display'd;
But, O! what glories all divine
In my incarnate Savior thine!
6 He is my sun, beneath his wings
My soul securely sits and sings;
And there enjoys like those above,
The balmy influence of thy love.
7 O may the vital strength and heat
His cheering beams communicate,
Enable me my course to run
With the same vigor as the sun!
Scripture: Psalm 84:11 Languages: English

The Ransom
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXCIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Ransom First Line: I come, the great Redeemer cries Lyrics: 1 "I come," the great redeemer cries,
"A year of freedom to declare,
"From debts and bondage to discharge,
"And Jews and Greeks the grace shall share:
2 "A day of vengeance I proclaim,
"But not on man the storm shall fall,
"On me its thunder shall descend;
"My strength, my love sustain them all."
3 Stupendous favor! matchless grace!
Jesus has dy'd that we might live;
Not worlds below, or worlds above
Could so divine a ransom give.
4 To him, who lov'd our ruin'd race,
And for our lives laid down his own,
Let songs of joyful praises rise,
Sublime, eternal as his throne.
Scripture: Isaiah 61:2 Languages: English

Desire of all Nations
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Desire of all Nations First Line: Infinite excellence is thine Lyrics: 1 Infinite excellence is thine,
Thou lovely prince of grace!
Thy uncreated beauties shine
With never-fading rays.
2 Sinners from earth's remotest end
Come bending at thy feet;
To thee their prayers and vows ascend,
In thee their wishes meet.
3 Thy name, as precious ointment shed,
Delights the church around;
Sweetly the sacred odors spread
Thro' all Immanuel's ground.
4 Millions of happy spirits live
On thy exhaustless store:
From thee they all their bliss receive,
And still thou givest more.
5 Thou art their triumph and their joy:
They find their all in thee;
Thy glories will their tongues employ
Thro' all eternity.

Messenger of the covenant
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Messenger of the covenant First Line: Jesus, commission'd from above Lyrics: 1 Jesus, commission'd from above,
Descends to men below,
And shews from whence the springs of love,
In endless currents flow.
2 He, whom the boundless heaven adores,
Whom angels long to see;
Quitted with joy those blissful shores,
Ambassador to me!
3 To me a worm, a sinful clod,
A rebel all forlorn;
A foe, a traitor to my God,
And, of a traitor born;
4 To me, who never sought his grace,
Who mock'd his sacred word;
Who never knew, or lov'd his face,
And all his will abhor'd!
5 To me, who could not even praise,
When his kind heart I knew;
But sought a thousand devious ways,
Rather than keep the true.
6 Yet this redeeming angel came,
So vile a worm to bless;
He took, with gladness, all my blame,
And gave his righteousness.
7 O! that my languid heart might glow,
With ardour all divine;
And for more love than seraphs knew,
Like burning seraphs shine. Scripture: Malachi 3:1 Languages: English
Messenger of the covenant
Jesus - precious to them that believe
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXXIII (1792) Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Jesus First Line: Jesus, I love thy charming name Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I love thy charming name,
'Tis music to my ear;
Fain would I sound it out so loud
That earth and Heaven might hear.
2 Yes thou art precious to my soul,
My transport and my trust,
Jewels to thee are gaudy toys,
And gold is sordid dust.
3 All my capacious powers can wish
In thee doth richly meet;
Not to my eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet.
4 Thy grace shall dwell upon my heart,
And shed its fragrance there;
The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care.
5 I'll speak the honors of thy name,
With my last laboring breath;
And dying, clasp thee in my arms,
The antidote of death. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:7 Languages: English

Head of the Church
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXXII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Head First Line: Jesus, I sing thy matchless grace Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I sing thy matchless grace,
That calls a worm thy own;
Gives me among thy saints a place
To make thy glories known.
2 Allied to thee our vital head,
We act, and grow, and thrive:
Form thee divided, each is dead,
When most he seems alive.
3 Thy saints on earth, and those above,
Here join in sweet accord:
One body all in mutual love,
And thou, our common Lord.
4 O may my faith each hour derive
Thy spirit with delight;
While death and hell in vain shall strive
This bond to disunite.
5 Thou the whole body wilt present
Before thy Father's face;
Nor shall a wrinkle or a spot
Its beauteous form disgrace. Scripture: Ephesians 4:15-16 Languages: English
