The Offices of Christ Glorious
Author: Watts Appears in 336 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: Join all the glorious names Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names
Of wisdom, love, and power,
That ever mortals knew,
That angels ever bore;
All are too mean to speak his worth,
Too mean to set my Saviour forth.
2 But O what gentle terms
What condescending ways,
Does our Redeemer use
To teach his heavenly grace!
My eyes with joy and wonder see
What forms of love he bears for me.
3 [Arrayed in mortal flesh,
He like an angel stands,
And holds the promises
And pardons in his hands;
Commissioned from his Father’s throne,
To make his grace to mortals known.]
4 [Great Prophet of my God,
My tongue would bless thy name;
By thee the joyful news
Of our salvation came;
The joyful news of sins forgiven,
Of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.]
5 [Be thou my Counsellor,
My Pattern, and my Guide;
And through this desert land,
Still keep me near thy side;
O let my feet ne’er run astray,
Nor rove, nor seek the crooked way!]
6 [I love my Shepherd’s voice;
His watchful eyes shall keep
My wandering soul among
The thousands of his sheep;
He feeds his flock, he calls their names;
His bosom bears the tender lambs.]
7 [To this dear Surety’s hand
Will I commit my cause;
He answers and fulfils
His Father’s broken laws.
Behold my soul at freedom set;
My Surety paid the dreadful debt.]
8 [Jesus, my great High Priest,
Offered his blood and died;
My guilty conscience seeks
No sacrifice beside.
His powerful blood did once atone,
And now it pleads before the throne.]
9 [My Advocate appears
For my defence on high;
The Father bows his ears,
And lays his thunder by.
Not all that hell or sin can say,
Shall turn his heart, his love away.]
10 [My dear, almighty Lord,
My Conqueror and my King,
Thy sceptre and thy sword,
Thy reigning grace I sing;
Thine is the power; behold, I sit,
In willing bonds, beneath thy feet.]
11 [Now let my soul arise,
And tread the tempter down!
My Captain leads me forth
To conquest and a crown.
A feeble saint shall win the day,
Though death and hell obstruct the way.]
12 Should all the hosts of death,
And powers of hell unknown,
Put their most dreadful forms
Of rage and mischief on,
I shall be safe, for Christ displays
Superior power and guardian grace.

The Name of Christ
Author: W. Gadsby Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: Sweet the name of Christ must be Lyrics: 1 Sweet the name of Christ must be,
From and to eternity;
For it pleased the Father well,
Fulness all in Christ should dwell.
2 Jesus is his name, and Christ;
He my Surety is, and Priest;
He has saved my soul from sin,
And I stand complete in him.
3 [Unctuous is his heavenly love;
He anoints me from above;
When his heavenly odours flow,
I have joy and peace below.]
4 Head o’er all is Christ to me,
And I shall his glory see;
Therefore in his name I’ll trust,
And of him will make my boast.
5 All a hungry soul can want,
Jesus’ name will richly grant;
Not a blessing God can give,
But with Christ the church shall have.
6 May I ever here confide,
Let whatever ills betide;
And if sufferings must ensue,
Gladly bear those sufferings too.
7 May this name be all my choice;
If reproached, let me rejoice;
And with pleasure keep in view,
What the Lord for me went through.
The Name of Christ
Christ the Rock
Author: W. Gadsby Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: Jesus Christ, the sinner's Friend Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, the sinner’s Friend,
Loves his people to the end;
And that they may safe abide,
He’s the Rock in which they hide.
2 As a rock, he guards them well
From the rage of sin and hell.
Such a rock is Christ to me,
I am safe, though thousands flee!
3 Sheltered in his wounded side,
Now no ill can me betide;
From the tempest covered o’er;
One with him for evermore.
Christ the Rock
Christ and Aaron
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: Jesus, in thee our eyes behold Lyrics: 1 Jesus, in thee our eyes behold
A thousand glories more
Than the rich gems and polished gold
The sons of Aaron wore.
2 They first their own burnt offerings brought
To purge themselves from sin;
Thy life was pure without a spot,
And all thy nature clean.
3 [Fresh blood, as constant as the day,
Was on their altar spilt;
But thy one offering takes away
For ever all our guilt.
4 Their priesthood ran through several hands,
For mortal was their race;
Thy never-changing office stands
Eternal as thy days.]
5 [Once in the circuit of a year,
With blood (but not his own),
Aaron within the veil appears,
Before the golden throne.
6 But Christ, by his own powerful blood,
Ascends above the skies,
And, in the presence of our God,
Shows his own sacrifice.]
7 Jesus, the King of Glory, reigns
On Zion’s heavenly hill;
Looks like a lamb that has been slain,
And wears his priesthood still.
8 He ever lives to intercede
Before his Father’s face;
Give him, my soul, thy cause to plead,
Nor doubt the Father’s grace.
Christ and Aaron
Christ, exalted, is our song
Author: Kent Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 Christ exalted is our song,
Hymned by all the blood-bought throng;
To his throne our shouts shall rise;
God with us by sacred ties.
2 Shout, believer, to thy God!
He has once the wine-press trod;
Peace procured by blood divine;
Cancelled all thy sins and mine.
3 Here thy bleeding wounds are healed;
Sin condemned and pardon sealed;
Grace her empire still maintains;
Christ without a rival reigns.
4 [Through corruption, felt within,
Darkness, deadness, guilt, and sin,
Still to Jesus turn thy eyes –
Israel’s hope and sacrifice.]
5 In thy Surety thou art free;
His dear hands were pierced for thee;
With his spotless vesture on,
Holy as the Holy One.
6 O the heights, the depths of grace,
Shining with meridian blaze!
Here the sacred records show
Sinners black but comely too.
7 Saints dejected, cease to mourn;
Faith shall soon to vision turn;
Ye the kingdom shall obtain,
And with Christ exalted reign.
Christ, exalted, is our song
The Kingdom of Christ
Appears in 742 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: Rejoice, the Lord is King Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, the Lord is King;
Your God and King adore;
Mortals, give thanks and sing,
And triumph ever more.
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice;
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.
2 Rejoice, the Saviour reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When he had purged our stains,
He took his seat above;
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice;
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.
3 His kingdom cannot fail;
He rules o’er earth and heaven;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus given;
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice;
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.
4 [He all his foes shall quell;
Shall all our sins destroy;
And every bosom swell
With pure seraphic joy;
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice;
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.]
5 Rejoice in glorious hope,
Jesus, the Judge, shall come,
And take his servants up
To their eternal home;
We soon shall hear the Archangel’s voice;
The trump of God shall sound, Rejoice!
The Kingdom of Christ
Christ, the Foundation of the Church
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 195 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: Behold the sure foundation stone Lyrics: 1 Behold the sure foundation stone
Which God in Zion lays,
To build our heavenly hopes upon,
And his eternal praise.
2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear,
And saints adore the name;
They trust their whole salvation here,
Nor shall they suffer shame.
3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain;
Yet on this rock the church shall rest,
And envy rage in vain.
4 What though the gates of hell withstood?
Yet must this building rise;
’Tis thy own work almighty God,
And wondrous in our eyes.
Christ, the Foundation of the Church
"The Lord is my Helper"
Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: The Lord's my Helper and Support Lyrics: 1 The Lord’s my Helper and Support,
My Saviour and my Friend;
He bears my sinking spirits up,
And will my soul defend.
2 Though earth, and hell, and sin agree,
My comfort to destroy,
The Lord of glory fights for me,
Nor will he let me die.
"The Lord is my Helper"
"And I will proclaim my name"
Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: When God proclaims his name Lyrics: 1 When God proclaims his name,
Then Zion hears with joy;
His grace, from age to age the same,
Shall all her needs supply.
2 When he descends to show
The wonders of his heart,
His presence lays proud nature low,
And guilty fears depart.
3 Rich mercy he proclaims
To sinners in distress;
And, by the most endearing names,
Reveals to them his grace.
"And I will proclaim my name"
Great God! from thee there's nought conceal'd
Author: Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 Great God! from thee there’s nought concealed,
Thou seest my inward frame;
To thee I always stand revealed
Exactly as I am!
2 Since I can hardly, therefore, bear
What in myself I see;
How vile and black must I appear,
Most holy God, to thee!
3 But since my Saviour stands between,
In garments dyed in blood,
’Tis he, instead of me, is seen,
When I approach to God.
4 Thus, though a sinner, I am safe;
He pleads, before the throne,
His life and death in my behalf,
And calls my sins his own.
5 What wondrous love, what mysteries,
In this appointment shine!
My breaches of the law are his,
And his obedience mine.
Scripture: Hebrews 10:19
Great God! from thee there's nought conceal'd
