Our righteousness must far exceed

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 Our righteousness must far exceed That of the Pharisees indeed; It must be of a diff'rent kind, Such as renews the heart and mind. 2 To sing and pray, and make a show, Is what the hypocrite can do; May seem to act the christian part, Yet not the cause of Christ at heart. 3 Where grace divine, reigns not within, The mind is still attach'd to sin; The best devotion, dead and cold, As was the Pharisees of old. 4 But diff'rent is the b'lievers state, He will not live at such a rate; His case unto himself is known, He pleads, no merits of his own. 5 He pleads not for self-righteousness, But all he pleads is pard'ning grade; All which he trusts he shall partake, And that alone for Jesus sake. 6 He gains that faith which works by love, And all within him live and move In Christ his Saviour, and his God, Who hath redeem'd him with his blood. 7 Here is the christian set to view: Lord grant that I may be such too; Grant me that righteousness I need, Which does the Pharisees exceed.

Ye Christian men pray notice well!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139 Lyrics: 1 Ye Christian men pray notice well! Our Saviour in the Parable Does clearly prove and plainly show, What Satan in the Church can do. 2 The Church is to a field compar'd, Well cultivated and prepar'd: And where the Gospel truth is b'liev'd, There is the Gospel seed receiv'd. 3 But when the watchmen fall to sleep, And they neglect their guard to keep, The enemy soon interfer's, And sows the field with seeds of tares. 4 Such ever was the Churches case, The formal Christian void of grace: Is like the tares among the wheat, When rightly prov'd is but a cheat. 5 But lest the wheat be pluck'd up too, The tares among the wheat must grow: There to remain till harvest day, Till they are search'd and cast away. 6 This Parable will shew us plain, That Saints and Sinners will remain: As members of his Church and State, Till Jesus comes to separate. 7 How careful then ought we attend! To watch and pray unto the end; Till all our trials shall be past, Lest we should prove but tares at last. Topics: Fifth Sunday after Epiphany

To know your grace and guiding hand in years to come is now our prayer. 2 This tender child is known by you, inclined to truth and evil too. Would you protect this one we love from sin and harm its whole life through? 3 A baby's future waits with hope enveloped with the Spirit's grace. Tomorrow's promise can be glimpsed within this infant's tiny face. 4 With humble joy we recognize a task that only has begun. A sacred charge lies in our arms to cradle faith and pass it on. 5 We praise you, Father, God alone. We praise you, Jesus, Son of love. And to the Spirit, Holy One, we sing our praise. Amen. Amen.
