The Deceiver and Deceived
Author: James Relly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Creation of Man, his Fall, Recovery, etc. First Line: Lord! ev'ry knee to thee shall bow Lyrics: 1 Lord! ev'ry knee to thee shall bow,
Whether they stood or fell;
In heav'n above, or earth below,
Or in eternal hell.
2 All shall thy grace or fury prove;
Thy kingdom all shall own:
Man shall be happy in thy love;
Let Satan dread thy frown.
3 Thus ev'ry tongue constrain'd by grace,
Or power, shall confess
The Lord, with a confused face,
Or, Christ their righteousness.
4 Herein the Father's glorify'd,
That thou art Lord of all;
Whilst men and angels; swelling pride
Before thy feet shall fall.
Scripture: Genesis 3:14
The Deceiver and Deceived
The Wounded for our Transgressions
Author: John Relly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Sufferings, Agony, and Bloody Sweat, of the Man of Grief: The Word Made Flesh First Line: My song shall be of him who died Lyrics: 1 My song shall be of him who died
Upon the mount of Calvary;
His name, his blood, and nought beside
Shall be my theme eternally.
2 I view him in his infant form,
Poor, helpless, in a manger laid;
To rescue me, a worthless worm,
Th' eternal word my flesh was made.
3 At eight days old the Saviour bled;
To purge our filth his blood was spilt;
Thus all the members, in the head,
Were cleans'd from their parental guilt.
4 A man of sorrows was my Lord,
Tempted like me in ev'ry point;
That he true succour might afford
To tempted souls, who else would faint.
5 Despis'd and friendless was the lamb,
Abased to a low degree,
Refus'd by all with scorn and shame,
That he our faithful friend might be.
6 Mark how he loves his blood bought friends!
When in his greatest agony
He pleads for them, he them defends,
The're as the apple of his eye.
7 For when the multitude came on
To drag him to the painful tree;
Whom seek ye? (says the holy one)
If me you seek, the children free.
8 When thus accepted, in our stead,
Justice the sinner did release;
And for the members smote the head,
Chastis'd him for our breach of peace. Scripture: Isaiah 53:5
The Wounded for our Transgressions
Solemn Praise
Author: James Relly Meter: Irregular Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: The Creation of Man, his Fall, Recovery, etc. First Line: Sing the triumphs of your conqu'ring Lyrics: 1 Sing the Triumphs of your conqu'ring
Head, and crucified King;
His atchievements, when he vanquish'd
All our enemies we'll sing:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Glory, Glory, Lord be thine.
2 Long he struggled with confused
Noise and garments roll'd in blood;
'Till destroying sin and hell, and
Death, he rescu'd man to God:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Glory, Glory, Lord be thine.
3 Most triumphant, greatly glor'ous,
He from death and hell arose!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Glory, Glory, Lord be thine.

Songs, and sounds of trumpets loud,
In eternal triumph leading
All the captives of his blood:

Glory, Glory, Lord be thine.
5 Far above the highest heav'n
Thus he glor'ously ascends,
Where the honour's to him given,
Ev'ry thought of ,an transcends:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Glory, Glory, Lord be thine.
6 There, exalted, live and reign, whilst
We admire thy wounds and blood,
'Till we see thee come again, in
All the pomp and power of God:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Glory, Glory, Lord be thine. Scripture: Psalm 98:1
Solemn Praise
Jericho; or the Waters healed
Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature First Line: Tho' Jericho pleasantly stood Lyrics: 1 Tho' Jericho pleasantly stood,
And look'd like a promising soil;
The Harvest produc'd little Food,
To answer the Husbandman's toil:
The Water some Property had,
Which poisonous prov'd to the ground;
The Springs were corrupted and bad,
The Streams spread a Barrenness round.
2 But soon by the cruise and the Salt,
Prepar'd by Elisha's command,
And Plenty enriched the Land:
An Emblem sure this of Grace
On fruitless dead Sinners bestow'd;
For Man is in Jericho's Case,
Till cur'd by the Mercy of God.
3 How noble a Creature he seems!
What Knowledge, Invention, and Skill!
How large and extensive his Schemes!
How much can He do if He will!
His Zeal to be learned and Wise,
Will yield to no Limits or Bars;
He Measures the Earth and the Skies,
And Numbers and Marshals the Stars.
4 Yet still he is barren of Good;
In vain are his Talents and Art;
For Sin has infected his Blood,
And poison'd the Streams of his Heart:
The Cockatrice Eggs he can hatch,
Or, Spider-like, cobwebs can Weave;
'Tis Madness to Labour and Watch
For what will destroy and deceive.
5 But Grace,like the Salt in the Cruise,
When cast in the Spring of the Soul,
A wonderful Change will produce,
Diffusing new Life thro' the Whole:
The Wilderness blooms like a Rose,
The Heart which was vile and abhorr'd,
Now fruitful and beautiful grows,
The Garden and Joy of the Lord.
Scripture: 2 Kings 19:23
Jericho; or the Waters healed
The Passion and Exaltation
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: The Sufferings, Agony, and Bloody Sweat, of the Man of Grief: The Word Made Flesh First Line: Thus saith the Ruler of the skies Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the Ruler of the skies,
Awake my dreadful sword;
Awake my wrath, and smite the man,
My fellow, saith the Lord.
2 Vengeance receiv'd the dread command,
And armed, down she flies:
Jesus submits t' his Father's hand,
And bows his head and dies.
3 But O the wisdom and the grace
That join with vengeance now!
He dies to save our guilty race,
And yet he rises too.
4 A person so divine was he,
Who yielded to be slain,
That he could give his soul away,
And take his life again.
5 Live, glorious Lord, and reign on high,
Let ev'ry nation sing;
And Angels sound with endless joy
The Saviour and the King. Scripture: Zechariah 13:6-7
The Passion and Exaltation
The Sword bathed in Heaven
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Who tasted Death for Every Man First Line: Wake thou, my sowrd! Jehovah said Lyrics: 1 Wake thou, my sword! Jehovah said,
It woke, obey'd the high command;
And bath'd in blood on Jesus' head,
Smote down the Man of God's right hand.
2 Why leap'd the blade from mercy's sheath?
Why wrapt for slaughter gleam'd the sword,
That kills—and makes alive from death?
What rouz'd the vengeance of the Lord?
3 Stern justice drew the weapon forth:
Soft mercy aim'd the mortal blow:
Then judgment past on all the earth:
Now, truth a seal'd release can show.
4 All hail! great plan of plans divine!
First counsels of the might God!
Before all worlds this one design,
Was grav'd on archives, writ in blood.
5 The heav'ns may perish—earth decay;
Suns turn to night—and moons wax pale:
Th' Almighty love of Calv'ry's day;
The blood of Christ can never fail.
6 What he bagan, ere time begun,
Eternity shall but complete;
Nor hell in arms against the Son,
The triumphs of the cross defeat. Scripture: Zechariah 13:6-7
The Sword bathed in Heaven
What is the thing of greatest price
Author: Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 88 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Creation and Fall of Man Lyrics: 1 What is the thing of greatest price,
The whole creation round?--
That which was lost in Paradise,
That which in Christ is found.
2 The soul of man--Jehovah's breath--
That keeps two worlds at strife;
Hell moves beneath to work its death,
Heaven stoops to give it life.
3 And is this treasure borne below,
In earthen vessels frail?
Can non its utmost value know,
'Till flesh and spirit fail?
4 Then let us gather round the cross,
That knowledge to obtain;
Not by the soul's eternal loss,
But everlasting gain.
Scripture: Isaiah 66:2
What is the thing of greatest price
Non nobis, Domine!

Jesus, our Saviour and our God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: God eternal, and man mortal; Man mortal, and Christ eternal Lyrics:
Jesus, our Savior and our God,
Arrayed in majesty and blood,
Thou art our life; our souls in thee
Possess a full felicity.
All our immortal hopes are laid
In thee, our surety and our head;
Thy cross, thy cradle, and thy throne,
Are big with glories yet unknown.
Let atheists scoff, and Jews blaspheme
Th' eternal life and Jesus' name;
A word of thy almighty breath
Dooms the rebellious world to death.
But let my soul for ever lie
Beneath the blessings of thine eye;
'Tis heav'n on earth, 'tis heav'n above,
To see thy face and taste thy love.
Scripture: Romans 9:5
Jesus, our Saviour and our God
What vain desires and passions vain
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: God eternal, and man mortal; Man mortal, and Christ eternal Lyrics:
What vain desires and passions vain
Attend this mortal clay!
Oft have they pierced my soul with pain,
And drawn my heart astray.
How have I wandered from my God!
And, following sin and shame,
In this vile world of flesh and blood
Defiled my nobler frame!
For ever blessed be thy grace
That formed my soul anew,
And made it of a heav'n-born race,
Thy glory to pursue.
My spirit holds perpetual war,
And wrestles and complains;
But views the happy moment near
That shall dissolve its chains.
Cheerful in death I close my eyes
To part with every lust;
And charge my flesh, whene'er it rise,
To leave them in the dust.
My purer spirit shall not fear
To put this body on;
Its tempting powers no more are there,
Its lusts and passions gone!
Scripture: Romans 8:1
What vain desires and passions vain
