On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry

Author: John Chandler (1806-1876); Charles Coffin (1676-1749) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #334 (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 50:2 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry announces that the Lord is nigh; awake and hearken for he brings glad tidings of the King of kings. 2 Then cleansed be every heart from sin; make straight the way for God within, prepare we in our hearts a home, where such a mighty Guest may come. 3 For you are our salvation, Lord, our refuge and our great reward; without your grace we waste away, like flowers that wither and decay. 4 Stretch out your hand, to heal our sore, and make us rise to fall no more; once more upon your people shine, and fill the world with love divine. 5 All praise to you, eternal Son, whose advent has our freedom won, whom with the Father we adore, and Holy Spirit, evermore.

How large the promise, how divine

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #527 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 50:8 Lyrics: How large the promise, how divine, To Abram and his seed! "I'll be a God to thee and thine, Supplying all their need." The words of his extensive love From age to age endure; The Angel of the cov'nant proves, And seals the blessing sure. Jesus the ancient faith confirms, To our great fathers giv'n; He takes young children to his arms, And calls them heirs of heav'n. Our God, how faithful are his ways! His love endures the same; Nor from the promise of his grace Blots out the children's name.

Lord, how secure my conscience was

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #110 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 50 Lyrics: Lord, how secure my conscience was, And felt no inward dread! I was alive without the law, And thought my sins were dead. My hopes of heav'n were firm and bright, But since the precept came With a convincing power and light, I find how vile I am. [My guilt appeared but small before, Till terribly I saw How perfect, holy, just, and pure, Was thine eternal law. Then felt my soul the heavy load, My sins revived again I had provoked a dreadful God, And all my hopes were slain.] I'm like a helpless captive, sold Under the power of sin I cannot do the good I would, Nor keep my conscience clean. My God, I cry with every breath For some kind power to save, To break the yoke of sin and death, And thus redeem the slave. Languages: English

Psalm 50 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.112 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 50:1-6 First Line: The Lord, the Judge, before his throne Lyrics: The Lord, the Judge, before his throne Bids the whole earth draw nigh, The nations near the rising sun, And near the western sky. No more shall bold blasphemers say, "Judgment will ne'er begin;" No more abuse his long delay To impudence and sin. Throned on a cloud our God shall come, Bright flames prepare his way; Thunder and darkness, fire and storm, Lead on the dreadful day. Heav'n from above his call shall hear, Attending angels come, And earth and hell shall know and fear His justice and their doom. "But gather all my saints," he cries, "That made their peace with God By the Redeemer's sacrifice, And sealed it with his blood. "Their faith and works, brought forth to light Shall make the world confess, My sentence of reward is right, And heav'n adore my grace."
