There is a Friend, who sticketh fast

Author: Berridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #149 (1844) Meter: 8.8.6 Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 There is a Friend, who sticketh fast, And keeps his love from first to last, And Jesus is his name; An earthly brother drops his hold, Is sometimes hot and sometimes cold, But Jesus is the same. 2 He loves his people, great and small, And, grasping hard, embraces all, Nor with a soul will part; No tribulations which they feel, No foes on earth, or fiends of hell, Shall tear them from his heart. 3 His love before all time began, And through all time it will remain, And evermore endure; Though rods and frowns are sometimes brought, And man may change, he changes not; His love abideth sure. 4 [A method strange this Friend has shown, Of making love divinely known To rebels doomed to die; Unasked, he takes our humblest form, And condescends to be a worm, To lift us up on high.] 5 [The law demanded blood for blood, And out he lets his vital flood To pay the mortal debt; He toils through life, and pants through death, And cries, with his expiring breath, “’Tis finished,” and complete!] 6 [Let all the ransomed of the Lord Exalt his love with one accord, And hallelujah sing; Adore the dying Friend of man, And bless him highly as you can; He is your God and King.] Scripture: Proverbs 18:24 Languages: English

"Behold the Lamb of God"

Author: Berridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #150 (1844) Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: The sweet Lamb of God comes forth to be slain Lyrics: 1 The sweet Lamb of God comes forth to be slain, And offers his blood to purge off our stain; With bitterest anguish and groans on the tree, The Saviour did languish for sinners like me. 2 Look on him, my soul, and gaze on his smart; His cries may control the lusts of thy heart; His blood has set often the worst broken bones; His love too can soften hearts harder than stones. 3 [Right worthy indeed he is of high fame, And saints have all need to trust in his name; Not feed on their graces, nor strut with a frame, But fall on their faces, and worship the Lamb.] 4 Lo! here is a feast of delicate food, For prodigals dressed, yet costly and good. Our Father provided this Lamb for a treat; And if you are minded, you freely may eat. 5 None other repast my spirit would have; Thy flesh let me taste, sweet Lamb, and yet crave; Thy blood ever flowing my pleasant cup be; Thy fleece on earth growing make clothing for me. 6 Thus covered and fed at thy proper cost, Thy path I would tread which pleases my host. Thy patience inherit, thy lowliness prove, Catch all thy sweet Spirit, and burn with thy love. Languages: English

The Path of the Just

Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #544 (1844) Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: By nature can no man be just Lyrics: 1 [By nature can no man be just, Since all are conceivèd in sin; No room is now left us to boast, For works cannot God’s favour win; But such who in Jesus believe, Are justified freely by grace; United to Jesus their Head, He’s made unto them righteousness.] 2 The Lord is the path of the just, And brighter and brighter shall shine, To Adam revealèd at first; To Abra’m made known in due time. The saints saw the path in those days, But still the path brighter did shine When God gave to Moses his ways, In shadows and types so sublime. 3 Now Jesus, the true Light, is come, The path is far brighter than day; Nor can that fair body, the sun, Shine equal to Jesus, the Way; The light that in Moses appeared, Though great, was but dim at the best, When with that divine Light compared, With which the true church is now blest.

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CL (1766) Topics: Characters of Christ; Christ His offices; Salvation, Righteousness and Strength in Christ Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious Names Of Wisdom, Love, and Pow'r, That ever Mortal knew, That Angels ever bore: All are too mean To speak his Worth, Too mean to set My Saviour forth. 2 But O what gentle Terms, What condescending Ways Doth our Redeemer use To teach his heav'nly Grace! Mine Eyes with Joy And Wonder see What Forms of Love He bears for me. [3 Array'd in mortal Flesh, He like an Angel stands, And holds the Promises And Pardons in his Hands; Commission'd from His Father's Throne, To make his Grace To Mortals known.] [4 Great Prophet of my God, My Tongue would bless thy Name; By Thee the joyful News Of our Salvation came; The joyful News Of Sins forgiv'n, Of Hell subdu'd, And peace with Heav'n.] [5 Be thou my Counsellor, My Pattern, and my Guide; And through this desart Land Still keep me near thy Side. O let my Feet Ne'er run astray, Nor rove, nor seek The crooked Way!] [6 I love my Shepherd's Voice, His watchful Eyes shall keep My wand'ring Soul among The Thousands of his Sheep: He feeds his Flock, He calls their Names, His Bosom bears The tender Lambs.] [7 To this dear Surety's Hand Will I commit my Cause; He answers and fulfills His Father's broken Laws. Behold my Soul At freedom set! My Surety paid The dreadful Debt.] [8 Jesus, my great High-Priest, Offer'd his Blood and dy'd; My guilty Conscience seeks No Sacrifice beside. His pow'rful Blood Did once atone? And now it pleads Before the Throne.] [9 My Advocate appears For my Defence on high; The Father bows his Ears, And lays his Thunder by. Not all that Hell Or Sin can say Shall turn his Heart, His Love, away.] [10 My dear Almighty Lord, My Conqu'eror and my King, Thy Scepter, and thy Sword, Thy reigning Grace I sing. Thine is the Pow'r; Behold I sit In willing Bonds Before thy Feet.] [11 Now let my Soul arise, And tread the Tempter down; My Captain leads me forth To Conquest and a Crown. A feeble Saint Shall win the Day, Though Death and Hell Obstruct the Way.] 12 Should all the Hosts of Death, And Pow'rs of Hell unknown, Put their most dreadful Forms Of Rage and Mischief on; I shall be safe, For Christ displays Superior Pow'r, And Guardian Grace Languages: English

How venerable is his name! 5 But, O what glorious Grace is this!
