Hymn 118
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 88 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 10:28-29 First Line: The law by Moses came Lyrics:
The law by Moses came,
But peace, and truth, and love,
Were brought by Christ, a nobler name,
Descending from above.
Amidst the house of God
Their diff'rent works were done;
Moses a faithful servant stood,
But Christ a faithful Son.
Then to his new commands
Be strict obedience paid;
O'er all his Father's house he stands
The sovereign and the head.
Ihe man that durst despise
The law that Moses brought,
Behold! how terribly he dies
For his presumptuous fault!
But sorer vengeance falls
On that rebellious race,
Who hate to hear when Jesus calls,
And dare resist his grace.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 602 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 10:4 Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts

or wash away the stain:
2 But Christ, the heav'nly Lamb,
takes all our sins away,
a sacrifice of nobler name
and richer blood than they.
3 My faith would lay her hand
on that dear head of thine,
while like a penitent I stand,
and there confess my sin.
4 My soul looks back to see
the burdens thou didst bear,
when hanging on the cursed tree,
and knows her guilt was there.

to see the curse remove;
we bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
and sing his bleeding love.

Nor let my humble faith be vain. Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Faith; Faith Connected with salvation; Fear of God Exercised all the day Text Sources: Dr. Watt's Sermons

ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,
their triumph to his death.

possess the promised rest.

Let us make all our sorrows known,
And ask the aid of heavenly power
To help us in the evil hour. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; A Merciful and Faithful High-Priest

My name is graven on his hands,
my name is written on his heart;
I know that while in heaven he stands
no tongue can bid me thence depart,
no tongue can bid me thence depart.

and tells me of the guilt within,
upward I look and see him there
who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died,
my sinful soul is counted free;
for God the Just is satisfied
to look on him and pardon me,
to look on him and pardon me.

my perfect, spotless righteousness;
the great unchangeable "I AM,"
the King of glory and of grace!

2 While thy glorious praise is sung,
Touch my lips, unloose my tongue,
That my joyful soul may bless
Thee, the Lord my Righteousness.
3 While the prayers of saints ascend,
God of love, to mine attend;
Hear me, for thy Spirit pleads;
Hear, for Jesus intercedes.
4 While I hearken to thy law,
Fill my soul with humble awe,
Till thy gospel bring to me
Life and immortality.
5 While thy ministers proclaim
Peace and pardon in thy Name,
Through their voice, by faith, may
I Hear thee speaking from the sky.
6 From thy house when I return,
May my heart within me burn,
And at evening let me say,
"I have walked with God today."

Lord, Teach Us How to Pray Aright
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 10:22 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with reverence and with fear;
though weak and sinful in your sight,
we may, we must draw near.
2 We perish if we cease from prayer;
O grant us power to pray;
and when to meet you we prepare,
Lord, meet us by the way.
3 O God of love, before your face
we come with contrite heart
to ask from you these gifts of grace--
truth in the inward part:
4 Faith in the only sacrifice
that can for sin atone;
to found our hopes, to fix our eyes,
on Christ, and Christ alone:
5 Patience to watch, and weep and wait,
whatever you may send;
courage that will not hesitate
to trust you to the end.
6 Give these, and then your will be done;
thus, strengthened with all might,
we through your Spirit and your Son,
shall pray, and pray aright.

bow down before him, His glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him; the Lord is his Name!

high on his heart he will bear it for thee,
comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.

of the poor wealth thou canst reckon as thine;
truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness,
these are the offerings to lay on His shrine.

he will accept for the Name that is dear,
mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.
