Victory and Deliverance from Persecution
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LIII (1780) First Line: Are all the foes of Sion fools Lyrics: 1 Are all the foes of Sion fools,
Who thus devour her saints?
Do they not know her saviour rules,
And pities her complaints?
2 They shall be seiz'd with sad surprise;
For God's revenging arm
Scatters the bones of them that rise,
To do his children harm.
3 In vain the sons of satan boast
Of armies in array;
When God has first despis'd their host,
They fall an easy prey.
4 O for a word from Sion's King,
Her captives to restore!
Jacob with all his tribes shall sing,
And Judah weep no more. Scripture: Psalm 53:4-6 Languages: English

Vital Union to Christ in Regeneration
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXXI (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Dear Savior, we are thine Lyrics: 1 Dear Savior, we are thine,
By everlasting bonds:
Our names, our hearts, we would resign,
Our souls are in thy hands.
2 To thee we still would cleave
With ever-growing zeal;
If millions tempt us Christ to leave,
O let them ne’er prevail.
3 Thy spirit shall unite
Our souls to thee our head:
Shall form in us thy image bright,
That we thy paths may tread.
4 Death may our souls divide
From these abodes of clay;
But love shall keep us near thy side
Thro' all the gloomy way.
5 Since Christ and we are one,
Why should we doubt or fear?
If he in heaven hath fix'd his throne,
He’ll fix his members there. Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Regeneration; Union to Christ Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:17 Languages: English

Vanity of the world
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXCIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: In vain the giddy world inquires Lyrics: 1 In vain the giddy world inquires,
Forgetful of their God,
"Who will supply our vast desire,
"Or shew us any good?"
2 Thro' the wide circuit of the earth
Their eager wishes rove,
In chace of honor, wealth, and mirth,
The phantoms of their love.
3 But oft these shadowy joys elude
Their most intense pursuit;
Or if they seize the fancied good,
There's poison in the fruit.
4 Lord, from this world call off my love,
Set my affections right:
Bid me aspire to joys above,
And walk no more by sight.
5 O let the glories of thy face
Upon my bosom shine:
Assur'd of thy forgiving grace,
My joys will be divine.

Vine and the branches
Author: Toplady Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CC (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Jesus, immutably the same Lyrics: 1 Jesus, immutably the same,
Thou true and living vine,
Around thy all-supporting stem
My feeble arms I twine.
2 Quicken'd by thee, and kept alive,
I flourish and bear fruit:
My life I from thy sap derive,
My vigor from thy root.
3 I can do nothing without thee;
My strength is wholly thine;
Wither'd and barren should I be,
If sever'd from the vine.
4 Upon my leaf, when parch'd with heat,
Refreshing dew shall drop,
The plant which thy right hand hath set,
Shall ne'er be rooted up.
5 Each moment water'd by thy care,
And fenc'd with power divine,
Fruit to eternal life shall bear
The feeblest branch of thine. Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Vine; Christ Vine Scripture: John 15:1-5 Languages: English
Vine and the branches
Vine
Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCXLVI (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Jesus the grace revealed Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the grace reveal'd,
The great salvation shown,
The sum of love's decrees unseal'd,
The plant of great renown.
2 Rais'd by the Father's grace,
The plant of his right hand,
To represent before his face,
The souls from ev'ry land.
3 Plant of the Father's care,
On whom his love did shine;
The branches in him hidden were,
'Till he grew to a vine.
4 Th' eternal husbandman,
To make the branches pure,
In wisdom infinite began
Our barrenness to cure.
5 He then this vine did dress,
Whilst Love his hand did urge,
That ev'ry branch in righteousness
He in one vine might purge.
6 From each superfl'ous shoot,
The buds of man's offence;
This to destroy, he purg'd the root,
And in it ev'ry branch.

Victory through free Grace
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H52.IV (1789) First Line: Let me, my Saviour and my God Lyrics: 16 Let me, my Saviour and my God,
On sov'reign grace rely;
And own 'tis free, because bestow'd
On one so vile as I.
17 Election! 'tis a word divine;
For, Lord, I plainly see,
Had not thy choice prevented mine,
I ne'er had chosen thee.
18 For perseverance, strength I've none;
But would on this depend,
That, Jesus, having lov'd his own,
Will love them to the end.
19 Empty and bare, I come to thee
For righteousness divine;
O may thy glorious merits be,
By imputation, mine.
20 Free grace alone can wipe the tears
From my lamenting eyes;
And raise my soul, from guilty fears,
To joy that never dies.
21 Free grace can death itself out-brave,
And take the sting away;
Can sinners to the utmost save,
And give them victory. Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 52 Languages: English

Victory over death
Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books #I.XVII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O for an overcoming faith Lyrics: 1 O for an overcoming faith,
To cheer my dying hours,
To triumph o’er the monster, Death,
And all his frightful pow'rs.

My quiv'ring lips should sing,
“Where is thy boasted vict'ry, grave;
"And where’s the monster’s sting?”

The law gives sin its damning pow'r,
But Christ, my ransom, dy'd.

Immortal thanks be paid,
Who makes us conqu'rors while we die
Thro' Christ our living head. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55-58 Languages: English
