The Lord Jesus Christ, who is our Hope
Author: James Relly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 17:7 First Line: When I behold my bleeding God Lyrics: 1 When I behold my bleeding God,
Each mountain seems a plain;
But if I e'er forget his blood,
The mountains rise again.
2 What means my inbred sense, so rude,
To war against my peace?
Or why should reason bold intrude
Upon a Saviour's grace?
3 What tho' my senses loudly say,
I have nor faith, nor love;
Nor am I in the living way
That leads to realms above.
4 What if still to increase my grief,
It summons lust and pride,
Hardness of heart, and unbelief,
And all my ills beside:
5 And, from the whole, would witness this,
Thou art devoid of grace;
How canst thou hope, in worlds of bliss,
To see the Saviour's face?
6 To this, the witness of my Lord,
Greater than all in me,
Replies in his unerring word,
The Saviour's grace is free.

Tree of Good Fruit
Author: James Relly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 17:8 First Line: When all the virtues of the wood Lyrics: 1 When all the virtues of the wood,
Impartially we trace;
The apple tree, as rare, and good,
First claims the highest place:
Beauteous, and rare, it stands admir'd,
Amongst a thousand trees;
Its fragrance, fruit, and shade desir'd,
To quicken, feed, and please.
2 Just so, excelling heav'n and earth,
Is my beloved seen
Amongst the sons of royal birth,
The sons of God or men:
Above them all he stands alone,
Pre-eminent and rare;
The Father's first begotten Son,
None may with him compare.
3 He as the man of God's right hand,
Is all perfection seen;
Whilst angels charg'd with folly stand,
And heav'n's declar'd unclean.
When blasted ev'ry tree beside,
Still he affords a shade;
A safe asylum for his bride,
Which love eternal made.
4 His fragrant name our hearts shall cheer,
As ointments poured forth;
More than the names which angels bear
Or men of highest worth.
Unsav'ry all the sons we prove,
Their worth no more can see;
The fragrance of eternal love
Comes forth, dear Lamb, from thee.
5 Thy fruits, thy wisdom, love and pow'r,
Are pefect evermore;
Whilst all beside are green and sour,
Or rotten at the core.
Live thou, of all the sons admir'd,
The only just and good;
As stands the apple tree desir'd,
In the unfruitful wood.

Not on the arm of failing dust,

Who gave His life men to redeem.

That I am now an heir of God.

And makes the spirit whole and clean,
Under thy power will I hide,
And rest redeemed and sanctified.

Sin has a thousand pleasing charms
Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Jeremiah 17:9 Lyrics: 1 Sin has a thousand pleasing charms,
Which flatter to preserve from harms;
She richly gilds her pleasing baits,
And calls her trash delicious sweets.
2 Young men and maidens, rich and poor,
Are pleased with her deceptive ore;
There’s scarce an eye that views the light,
But she can charm by day or night.
3 Nor are the vessels of the Lord
Free from the chirpings of this bird,
Her craft and spleen she’ll make them feel,
And make them like a drunkard reel.
4 Her nature’s serpentine indeed;
Her strength could make a Samson yield;
Nor David could against her stand,
When David’s God withheld his hand.
5 Good God! what can a mortal do,
With such a cursèd, artful foe?
Let grace divine my soul defend,
Nor let me to this monster bend.
6 [Work in me, Lord, to will and do,
My way to Zion to pursue;
And while I tread the thorny road,
Teach me to lean upon my God.] Topics: Tribulation and Inconstancy of Mind
Sin has a thousand pleasing charms
