The Lord Supper Instituted

Appears in 373 hymnals First Line: 'Twas on that dark, that doleful Night Lyrics: 1 'Twas on that dark, that doleful Night When Pow'rs of Earth and Hell arose Against the Son of God's Delight, And Friends betray'd him to his Foes: Before the mournful Scene began, He took the Bread, and bless'd, and brake: What Love thro' all his Actions ran! What wond'rous Words of Grace he spake! 2 This is my Body, broke for Sin, Receive and eat the living Food; Then took the Cup, and bless'd the Wine; 'Tis the new Cov'nant in my Blood. For us his Flesh with Nails was torn, he bore the Scourge, he felt the Thorn; And Justice pour'd upon his Head Its heavy Vengeance, in our Stead. 3 For us his vital Blood was spilt, To buy the Pardon of our guilt; When, for black crimes of biggest Size He gave his Soul a Sacrifice Do this," (he cry'd) "till Time shall end, In Mem'ry of your dying Friend; Meet at my Table, and record The Love of your departed Lord. 4 Jesus, thy Feast we celebrate, We shew thy Death, we sing thy Name, 'Till thou return, and we shall eat The Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Baptism of grown Persons

Our Souls he washes in his Blood, As Water makes the Body clean; And the good Spirit from our God Descends like purifying Rain. 3 Thus we engage our selves to thee, And seal our Cov'nant with the Lord; O may the Great Eternal Three In Heav'n our solemn vows record!

A Song of Degrees of Solomon

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Unless Jehovah builds the house Lyrics: 1 Unless JEHOVAH builds the house, vain is the workman's pain: Unless the LORD the city keeps, the watchmen watch in vain; 2 Tis vain for you to rise betimes, and late from rest to keep, Or eat the bread of care: 'tis He gives his beloved sleep. 3 Lo, children are an heritage, the LORD alone bestows: Posterity is a reward which from his bounty flows. 4 As arrows in a mighty hand when enemies are near; So children grown up in their youth to their glad parents are. 5 How happy is the man who hath his quiver full of those! For he undaunted in the gate, will speak to all his foes. Scripture: Psalm 127

Justification by Faith, not by Works

Appears in 136 hymnals First Line: Vain are the Hopes the Sons of Men Lyrics: 1 Vain are the Hopes the Sons of Men On their own Works have built; Their Hearts by Nature all unclean, And all their Actions Guilt. Let Jew and Gentile stop their Mouths Without a murm'ring Word, And the whole Race of Adam stand Guilty before the Lord. 2 In vain we ask God's righteous Law To justify us now; Since to convince and to condemn Is all the Law can do. Jesus, how glorious is thy Grace. When in thy Name we trust! Our Faith receives Thy Righteousness Which makes the Sinner just.

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

Appears in 2,044 hymnals First Line: When I survey the wond'rous Cross Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wond'rous Cross On which the Prince of Glory dy'd, My richest Gain I count but Loss, And pour Contempt on all my Pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the Death of Christ my God: All the vain Things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his Blood. 2 See from his Head, his Hands, his Feet, Sorrow and Love flow mingled down! Did e'er such Love and Sorrow meet? Or Thorns compose so rich a Crown? His dying Crimson, like a Robe, Spreads o'er his Body on the Tree; Then am I dead to all the Globe, And all the Globe is dead to me. 3 Were the whole Realm of Nature mine, That were a Present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my Soul, my Life, my All.

The Fall of Angels and Men

Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: When the Great Builder arch'd the Skies Lyrics: 1 When the Great Builder arch'd the Skies, And form'd all Nature with a Word, The joyful Cherubs tun'd his Praise, And ev'ry bending Throne ador'd. High in the midst of all the Throng, Satan a tall Arch-Angel, sate, Amongst the Morning Stars he sung, 'Till Sin destroy'd his Heav'nly State. 2 'Twas Sin that hurl'd him from his Throne; Grov'lling in Fire the Rebel lies: How art thou sunk in Darkness down, Son of the Morning, from the Skies! And thus our two first Parents stood, 'Till Sin defil'd the happy Place; They lost their Garden and their God, And ruin'd all their unborn Race. 3 So sprung the Plague from Adam's Bower, And spread Destruction all abroad, Sin, the curs'd Name, that in one Hour Spoil'd six Days Labour of a God. Tremble, my Soul, and mourn for Grief, That such a Foe should seize thy Breast; Fly to thy Lord for quick Relief; Oh! may he slay this treach'rous Guest. 4 Then to thy Throne, Victorious King, Then to thy Throne our Shouts shall rise, Thine everlasting Arm we sing, For sin, the Monster, bleeds and dies.

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
