Hymn 118

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Scripture: John 1:17 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.

Hymn 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1 First Line: Ere the blue heav'ns were stretched abroad Lyrics: Ere the blue heav'ns were stretched abroad, From everlasting was the Word: With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be adored. By his own power were all things made; By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's head, And angels fly at his command. Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars: Thy generation who can tell, Or count the numbers of thy years? But lo! he leaves those heav'nly forms, The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may hold converse with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. Mortals with joy beheld his face, Th' eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth! how full of grace! When through his eyes the Godhead shone. Archangels leave their high abode To learn new mysteries here, and tell The loves of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel.
