The Humiliation and Exaltation of CHRIST

Appears in 181 hymnals First Line: What equal Honours shall we bring Lyrics: 1 What equal Honours shall we bring To thee o Lord, our God the Lamb, When all the Notes that Angels sing, Are far inferior to thy Name? Worthy is He that once was slain, The Prince of Peace that groan'd and dy'd Worthy to rise, and live and reign At his Almighty Father's Side. 2 Pow'r and Dominion are his due Who stood condemn'd at Pilate's Bar: Wisdom belongs to Jesus too, Tho' he was charg'd with Madness here. All Riches are his native Right, Yet he sustain'd amazing Loss; To him ascribe Eternal Might, Who left his Weakness on the Cross. 3 Honour immortal must be paid Instead of Scandal and of Scorn; While Glory shines around his Head, And a bright Crown without a Thorn. Blessings for ever on the Lamb Who bore the Curse for wretched Men: Let Angels sound his sacred Name, And every Creature say, Amen.

A Song of Degrees

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When from captivity the Lord Lyrics: 1 When from captivity the LORD his Zion did redeem: We in extacy of soul were like to them who dream. 2 Then were our mouths with laughter fill'd, Our tongues with shouts did sound: 'The LORD hath done great things for them' the heathen freely own'd. 3 Great things and marvellous for us, the LORD hath done indeed; In the surprizing view whereof our hearts with joy exceed. 4 LORD, our remaining, captives bring home from the barb'rous foe. Like cooling streams which in the south to thirsty regions flow. 5 Who sow in tears shall reap in joy: 6 Who going forth, did mourn, Baring choice seed; shall fill'd with joy, bringing full sheaves return. Scripture: Psalm 126

Why do the nations move and rage

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why do the nations move and rage, And people form a vain design? 2 Kings of the earth do set themselves And princes in deep plots combine, With one consent against the LORD, And his MESSIAH, and dare say, 3 "Let us asunder break their bands, "And cast their cords of rule away?" 4 But He who sits in heav'n will laugh, The Lord at first will them deride; 5 In anger then to them He'll speak, In wrath to vex them in their pride; 6 "See I have set my king upon "Zion my mount of sanctity, 7 "And the immutable decree "Proclaim abroad to all will I." 8 The LORD to me said, "Thou my SON, "This day have I begotten thee; "Ask, and the nations I will give "For thine inheritance to be: 9 "And of the earth Thou shalt possess "The utmost coasts and lands abroad; "The foes shalt break as potters ware, "And crush as with an iron rod." 10 Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; Be learn'd, ye who earth's judges are; 11 Serve ye the LORD with reverence; Rejoyce, but yet with trembling fear: 12 Kiss he the SON, lest He be wroth, And ye should perish in your way; When once his wrath a little burns, Blessed are all that on him stay. Scripture: Psalm 2

O blessed man who walks not in

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Blessed man who walks not in The counsel of ungodly men, Nor stands within the sinners way, Nor will the scoffers seat sit in. 2 But In JEHOVAH's written law He takes exceeding great delight; And in his law he meditates With pious pleasure day and night. 3 For he is like a goodly tree By streams of waters planted near Which in due season yields its fruit, Whose leaf shall ever green appear; And all he does shall prosper still. 4 But the ungodly are not so: For they are like the chaff which by The wind is driven to and fro. 5 Therefore in judgment shall not stand Such as ungodly are, as clear; Nor in th' assembly of the just Shall sinners in that day appear. 6 Because the way of righteous men The LORD with approbation knows; Whereas the way of evil men To their entire destruction goes. Scripture: Psalm 1

Scripture: Psalm 130

The First and Second Adam

Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: Backward with humble Shame we look Lyrics: 1 Backward with humble Shame we look On our Original; How is our Nature dash'd and broke In our first Father's Fall! To all that's Good averse and blind, But prone to all that's ill What dreadful Darkness veils our Mind! How obstinate our Will! 2 Conceiv'd in Sin (O wretched State!) Before we draw our Breath; The first young Pulse begins to beat Iniquity and Death. How strong in our degen'rate Blood The old Corruption reigns, And, mingling with the crooked Flood, Wanders through all our Veins! 3 Wild and unwholesome as the Root Will all the Branches be; How can we hope for living Fruit From such a deadly Tree? What mortal Pow'r from Things unclean Can pure Productions bring? Who can command a vital Stream From an infected Spring? 4 Yet, mighty God, thy wond'rous love Can make our Nature clean, While Christ and Grace prevail above The Tempter, Death, and Sin. The second Adam shall restore The Ruins of the First; Hosanna to that Sov'reign Pow'r That new creates our Dust!

The Beatitudes

Appears in 219 hymnals First Line: Blest are the humble Souls that see Lyrics: 1 Blest are the humble Souls that see Their Emptiness and Poverty; Treasures of Grace to them are giv'n, And Crowns of Joy laid up in Heav'n. Blest are the Men of broken Heart, Who mourn for Sin with inward Smart; The Blood of Christ divinely flows, A healing Balm for all their Woes. 2 Blest are the Meek, who stand afar From Rage and Passion, Noise and War; God will secure their happy State And plead their Cause against the Great. Blest are the Souls that thirst for Grace, Hunger and long for Righteousness; They shall be well supply'd and fed With living Streams and living Bread. 3 Blest are the Men whose Bowels move And melt with Sympathy and Love; From Christ the Lord shall they obtain Like Sympathy and Love again. Blest are the pure, whose Hearts are clean From the defiling Powers of Sin; With endless Pleasure they shall see A God of spotless Purity. 4 Blest are the Men of peaceful Life, Who quench the Coals of growing Strife; They shall be call'd the Heirs of Bliss, The Sons of God, the God of Peace. Blest are the Suff'rers who partake Of Pain and Shame for Jesus' sake; Their Souls shall triumph in the Lord Glory and Joy are their Reward.

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O ye the sons of mighty ones Lyrics: 1 O ye sons of mighty ones, give to the LORD on high! All glory to JEHOVAH give, And boundless potency. 2 O to the LORD the glory give which to his name is due: In beauty of his holiness down to JEHOVAH bow. 3 The Lord's voice on the waters sounds the God of glory, hear Thunders aloud: JEHOVAH sits, on many waters there 4 The voice is full of pow'r which sounds forth from the LORD on high: JEHOVAH"S mighty voice is full of glorious majesty. 5 See how JEHOVAH's voice at once the shiv'ring cedars tares: See how the LORD the cedars breaks which Lebanon high rears. 6 Like calves He makes the mountains leap, ev'n That great Lebanaon; And like a youthful unicorn, the mountain Syrion. 7 Jehovah's voice strikes flames of fire, and scatters them around: 8 JEHOVAH's voice the desart makes to tremble with the sound. JEHOVAH makes the wilderness of Kadesh shake with fear: 9 The LORD's voice makes the frighted Hinds To cast their young ones there. With glares of lightning thro' the dark He makes the forests bare. But his full glory He within his temple does declare. 10 The LORD sits on the floud as king; the LORD's riegn ne'r shall cease: 11 The LORD will give his people strength; the LORD them bless with peace. Scripture: Psalm 29

Michtam of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O ye assembly, do ye now Lyrics: 1 O ye assembly, do ye now, speak righteousness indeed? In judgment do ye sons of men, With uprightness proceed? 2 Or do ye mischief in your hearts devise; and with your hand Then weigh, and deal out violence throughout the injur'd land? 3 The wicked from the womb estrang'd from ev'ry holy way; And from the birth their practice is to lie and go astray. 4 Ev'n like a serpent's poison is the poison that they bear; And they are like the adder deaf That stops up close her ear. 5 Who will not hear the charmer's voice, but deaf will still remain; And tho' he charms with utmost skill, can no attention gain. 6 Break Thou their teeth within their mouths, O GOD of mighty pow'r; The great teeth, LORD, of lions young, prepared to devour. 7 They shall as waters melt away, which run continually; And all their arrows ready bent that cut to pieces b. 8 As melting snails shall they dissolve, and all shall pass away; And even like untimely births, that never see the day. 9 Ere pots perceive the blaze of thorns, He'll seize on them alive; And bare them in his wrath away, as whirlwinds stubble drive. 10 The righteous shall rejoyce when they this righteous vengeance see; And in the blood of impious men their feet shall washed be. 11 So men shall say; sure for the just there is a recompence; Sure there's a GOD, a Judge on earth, who justice will dispense. Scripture: Psalm 58
