Psalm 8 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.17 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Adam the first and second, their dominion First Line: Almighty Ruler of the skies Lyrics: Almighty Ruler of the skies, Through the wide earth thy name is spread; And thine eternal glories rise O'er all the heav'ns thy hands have made. To thee the voices of the young A monument of honor raise; And babes, with uninstructed tongue, Declare the wonders of thy praise. Thy power assists their tender age To bring proud rebels to the ground, To still the bold blasphemer's rage, And all their policies confound. Children amidst thy temple throng To see their great Redeemer's face; The Son of David is their song, And young hosannas fill the place. The frowning scribes and angry priests In vain their impious cavils bring; Revenge sits silent in their breasts, While Jewish babes proclaim their King. Scripture: Psalm 8:1-2 Languages: English

Psalm 8 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.18 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Adam the first and second, their dominion First Line: Lord, what was man, when made at first Lyrics: Lord, what was man, when made at first, Adam the offspring of the dust, That thou shouldst set him and his race But just below an angel's place? That thou shouldst raise his nature so, And make him lord of all below; Make every beast and bird submit, And lay the fishes at his feet? But, O! what brighter glories wait To crown the Second Adam's state! What honors shall thy Son adorn, Who condescended to be born! See him below his angels made; See him in dust amongst the dead, To save a ruined world from sin; But he shall reign with power divine. The world to come, redeemed from all The miseries that attend the fall, New made and glorious, shall submit At our exalted Savior's feet. Scripture: Psalm 8:3-9 Languages: English

Original Sin; or, The first and second Adam

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XXXVIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Adam the first and second First Line: Adam our father and our head Lyrics: 1 Adam our father and our head, Transgress'd and justice doom'd us dead The fiery law speaks all despair, There's no reprieve nor pardon there. 2 Call a bright council in the skies; Seraphs, the mighty and the wise, Speak; are you strong to bear the load, The weighty vengeance of a God? 3 In vain we ask; for all around Stand silent thro' the heavenly ground; There's not a glorious mind above Has half the strength or half the love. 4 But O! unmeasuraable grace! The eternal son takes Adam's place; Down to our world the Saviour flies, Stretches his arms and bleeds, and dies. 5 Amazing work! look down, ye skies, Wonder and gaze with all your eyes; Ye saints below and saints above, And bow to this mysterious love Languages: English

Deep in the Dust before thy Throne

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXXIV (1766) Topics: First and Second Adam Lyrics: 1 Deep in the Dust before thy Throne Our Guilt and our Disgrace we own; Great God we own th' unhappy Name Whence sprang our Nature and our Shame. 2 Adam the Sinner: At his Fall, Death, like a Conqu'ror seiz'd us all; A Thousand new-born Babes are dead, By fatal Union to their Head. 3 But while our Spirits fill'd with Awe, Behold the Terrors of thy Law; We sing the Honours of thy Grace, That sent to save our ruin'd Race. 4 We sing thine everlasting Son, Who joined our Nature to his own; Adam the Second, from the Dust, Raises the Ruins of the First. [5 By the Rebellion of one Man Through all his Seed the Mischief ran; And by one Man's Obedience now Are all his seed made righteous too.] 6 Where Sin did reign, and Death abound; There have the Sons of Adam found Abounding Life; there glorious Grace Reigns through the Lord our Righteousness.
