Vine and the branches

Author: Toplady Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CC (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Vine First Line: Jesus, immutably the same Lyrics: 1 Jesus, immutably the same, Thou true and living vine, Around thy all-supporting stem My feeble arms I twine. 2 Quicken'd by thee, and kept alive, I flourish and bear fruit: My life I from thy sap derive, My vigor from thy root. 3 I can do nothing without thee; My strength is wholly thine; Wither'd and barren should I be, If sever'd from the vine. 4 Upon my leaf, when parch'd with heat, Refreshing dew shall drop, The plant which thy right hand hath set, Shall ne'er be rooted up. 5 Each moment water'd by thy care, And fenc'd with power divine, Fruit to eternal life shall bear The feeblest branch of thine. Scripture: John 15:1-5 Languages: English

Way to Canaan

Author: Cennick Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Way First Line: Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone Lyrics: 1 Jesus my all, to heaven is gone, He whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I'll pursue The narrow way till him I view. 2 The way the holy prophets went, The road that leads from banishment, The king's highway of holiness I'll go, for all his paths are peace. 3 This is the way I long have sought, And mourn'd because I found it not; My grief, my burden long has been, Because I could not cease from sin. 4 The more I strove against its power, I sinn'd and stumbled but the more, 'Till late I heard my Savior say, Come hither, soul, "I am the way." 5 Lo! glad I come; and thou, blest lamb Shalt take me to thee as I am: Nothing but sin I thee can give, Nothing but love would I receive. 6 Then will I tell to sinners round, What a dear Savior I have found; I'll point to thy redeeming blood, And say, "Behold the way to God."

Forerunner and Foundation of our Hope

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Forerunner and Foundation of our Hope First Line: Jesus the Lord, our souls adore Lyrics: 1 Jesus the Lord, our souls adore, A painful sufferer now no more; High on his Father's throne he reigns O'er earth, and Heavens' extensive plains. 2 His race for ever is complete; For ever undisturb'd, his seat; Myriads of angels round him fly, And sing his well-gain'd victory. 3 Yet 'midst the honors of his throne, He joys not for himself alone; His meanest servants share their part, Share in that royal tender heart. 4 Raise, raise, my soul, thy raptur'd sight, With sacred wonder and delight; Jesus thy own forerunner see Enter'd beyond the veil for thee. 5 Loud let the howling tempest yell, And foaming waves to mountains swell, No shipwreck can my vessel fear, Since hope hath fix'd its anchor here. Scripture: Hebrews 6:19-20 Languages: English

Kinsman

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXXVIII (1792) Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Kinsman First Line: Jesus, we claim thee for our own Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we claim thee for our own, Our kinsman near allied in blood, Flesh or our flesh, bone of our bone, The son of man, the Son of God; And lo we lay us at thy feet, Our sentence from thy mouth to meet. 2 Partaker of my flesh below, To thee, O Jesus, I apply; Thou wilt thy poor relations know, Thou never canst thyself deny, Exclude me from thy guardian care, Or slight a sinful beggar's prayer. 3 Thee, Savior, at my greatest need, I trust my faithful friend to prove: Now o'er thy meanest servants spread The skirt of thy redeeming love; Under the wings of mercy take, And save me for thy merit's sake. 4 Hast thou not undertook my cause, Lord over all, to worms allied? Answer me from that bleeding cross, Demand thy dearly-ransom'd bride; And let my soul, betroth'd to thee. Thine wholly, thine for ever be! Scripture: Ruth 3:4 Languages: English

Corner-Stone

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Cornerstone First Line: Lord, dost thou shew a corner-stone Lyrics: 1 Lord dost thou shew a corner-stone, For us to build our hopes upon, That the fair Edifice may raise Sublime in light beyond the skies? 2 We own the work of sovereign love; Nor death nor hell these hopes shall move, Which fix'd on this foundation stand, Laid by thy own almighty hand. 3 Thy people long this stone have tried, And all the powers of hell defy'd; Floods of temptation beat in vain; Well doth this rock the house sustain. 4 When storms of wrath around prevail, Whirlwind and thunder, fire and hail, 'Tis here our trembling souls shall hide, And here securely they abide: 5 While they that scorn this precious stone, Fond of some Quicksand of their own, Borne down by weighty vengeance die, And buried deep in ruin lie. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:6 Languages: English

Friend

Author: Newton Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Friend First Line: Poor, weak, and worthless tho' I am Lyrics: 1 Poor, weak and worthless tho' I am, I have a rich almighty friend; Jesus, the Savior, is his name, He freely loves, and without end. 2 He ransom'd me from hell with blood, And, by his power, my foes control'd: He found me wandering far from God, And brought me to his chosen fold. 3 He cheers my heart, my wants supplies, And says that I shall shortly be Enthron'd with him above the skies, O! what a friend is Christ to me! Pause. 4 But ah! my inmost spirit mourns, And well my eyes with tears may swim, To think of my perverse returns; I've been a faithless friend to him. 5 Often my gracious friend I grieve, Neglect, distrust and disobey, And often Satan's lies believe, Sooner than all my friend can say. 6 [He bids me always freely come, And promises what'er I ask: But I am straighten'd, cold, and dumb, And count my privilege a task. 7 Before the world that hates his cause, My treach'rous heart has throbb'd with shame Lot to forego the world's applause, I hardly dare avow his name.] 8 Sure were not I most vile and base, I could not thus my friend requite! And were not he the God of grace, He'd frown and spurn me from his sight. Scripture: 2 Samuel 16:17 Languages: English

Our righteousness

All in All; or, the Testimony concerning Jesus, the soil of prophecy

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCV (1792) Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ All in All First Line: The bible is justly esteem'd Lyrics: 1 The bible is justly esteem'd The glory supreme of the land, Which shows how a sinner's redeem'd And brought to Jehovah's right hand. With pleasure we freely confess The bible all books does outshine, But Jesus, his person and grace, Affords it that lustre divine. 2 In every prophetical book Where God his decrees hath unseal'd, With joy we behold as we look, The wonderful savioyr reveal'd: His glories project to the eye, And prove it was not his design, Those glories concealed should lie, But there in full majesty shine. 3 The first gracious promise to man, A blessed prediction appears, His work is the soul of the plan, And gives it the glory it wears. How cheering the truth must have been, That Jesus the promised seed, Should triumph o'er Satan and sin, And hell in captivity lead! 4 The ancient Levitical law Was prophecy after its kind, In types there the faithful foresaw The savior that ransom'd mankind. The altar, the lamb, and the priest, The blood that was sprinkled of old Had life, when the people could taste, The blessing those shadows foretold. 5 Review each prophetical song, Which shines in prediction's rich train, The sweetest to Jesus belong, And point out his sufferings and reign: Sure David his harp never strung, With more of true sacred delight, Than when of the savior he sung, And he was reveal'd to his sight. 6 May Jesus more precious become— His word be a lamp to our feet, While we in the wilderness roam, 'Till brought in his presence to meet! Then, then will we gaze on thy face, Our prophet, our priest, and our king; Recount all thy wonders of grace, Thy praises eternally sing. Scripture: Revelation 19:10 Languages: English

Praise for the Fountain opened

Author: Cowper Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Fountain First Line: There is a fountain fill'd with blood Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood, Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plung'd beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoic'd to see That fountain in his day; O may I there, tho' vile as he, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, 'Till all the ransom'd church of God Be sav'd, to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 But when this lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing thy power to save.
