Before the earth or seas were made

Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #572 (1844) Meter: 8.8.6 Scripture: Isaiah 42:1 Lyrics: 1 Before the earth or seas were made, Jesus was chosen as our Head, The Father’s first Elect; In him the church was chosen too, And he engaged to bring them through; Nor will he them neglect. 2 He undertook the care and charge, And promised they should walk at large, And all his glory view. Anon the Father’s set time came, Nor did the Saviour then disdain The Father’s will to do. 3 “Behold him now,” the Father cries; “Ye mourning souls, lift up your eyes And view your Saviour dear. In him my soul delighteth well; My great commands he shall fulfil, And banish all your fear. 4 “Ye tried, ye tempted sinners, look To my Elect, who undertook To ransom you with blood. In him I’m ever, ever pleased, And you shall of your pain be eased, And see a smiling God. 5 “Whatever be your frame of mind, You never will perfection find, But in the Lord alone. No spot nor wrinkle can I see In them that unto Jesus flee; For they and he are one.” Topics: Christ All and In All Languages: English

The path that Christians tread

Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #618 (1844) Scripture: Isaiah 42:16 Lyrics: 1 The path that Christians tread To reason’s eye is strange; Through regions of the dead, They frequently must range; Ten thousand monstrous beasts of prey Beset the soul by night and day. 2 We must not learn God’s truth As school-boys learn their task; Such knowledge is not proof Against delusion’s blast. An empty knowledge bloats with air, But dies when dreadful storms appear. 3 Christians oft pray for faith; To trace God’s beauties more; To triumph over death; And Jesus’ name adore. God hears and answers their desire; But ’tis through scenes of floods and fire. 4 [Sin, armed with all the spleen Of enmity to God, Oft rises up within, And scorns the Saviour’s blood; A world of filth, too base to name, Beset and plunge the soul in shame. 5 To pray, he thinks too bold; While he in silence moans, His bones keep waxing old, By reason of his groans; And by such means, though strange to tell, The Lord will teach him Jesus well.] 6 When self and nature die, And all our beauty’s gone, The Saviour brings us nigh, To trust in him alone; ’Tis then we trust his righteousness, And rest alone on sovereign grace. 7 Thus Jesus wears the crown; We gladly trace the power That brings all nature down, And leads us to adore Jesus, the Lord our Righteousness, Who saves in every deep distress.
