One human pair, and only one
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Fall and restoration of man Lyrics:
One human pair, and only one,
Were form'd in youthful prime,
All else that e'er beheld the sun,
Were children in their time.
14
For each a mother's pangs were borne,
And many a father's eye
Wept o'er his infant born to mourn,
His infant born to die.
With millions life was but a spark,
Extinct as soon as fired;
Others, just glancing from the dark,
Wept, smiled, look'd round, retired.
Millions and millions more have pass'd
Life's various pilgrimage,
While Death at all his arrows cast,
And slew of every age.
Of these what multitudes untold
Have never known their God,
But blind, and ignorant, and bold,
In paths of ruin trod.
What guiltier multitudes have known,
Yet scorn'd Him or denied,
Lived to themselves and sin alone;
And as they lived they died.
We may not wander like the first;
Then, lest we share the lot
Of those more awfully accurst,
Who knew, but loved, Him not,--
May we hold fast the faithful word,
Our future time redeem,
Live, while we live, unto the Lord,
Die, when we die, to Him.
One human pair, and only one
To Adam thus Jehovah spake
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Fall and restoration of man Lyrics:
To Adam thus Jehovah spake--
"The ground is cursed for thy sake;
Thence eat thy bread, and there once more
Become the dust thou wert before."
"Serpent," again Jehovah said,
"The woman's seed shall bruise thy head,
Yet in the strife thy fury feel,
For thou shalt turn and wound his heel."
He comes;--we hail His glorious birth,
Who brings the blessing back to earth;
Nor Eden only, but the Tree
Of Life and immortality.
To Adam thus Jehovah spake
Lord, Thou hast been Thy people's rest
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Time, life, and man past, present, future Lyrics:
Lord, Thou hast been Thy people's rest,
Through all their generations;
Their refuge when by troubles prest,
Their hope in tribulations:
Thou, ere the mountains sprang to birth,
Or ever Thou hadst form'd the earth,
Art God from everlasting.
Our life is like the transient breath,
That tells a mournful story;
Early or late, stopt short by death;--
And where is all our glory?
Our days are threescore years and ten,
And if the span be lengthened then,
Their strength is toil and sorrow.
Lo Thou hast set before Thine eyes
All our misdeeds and errors;
Our secret sins from darkness rise
At Thine awakening terrors:
Who shall abide the trying hour?
Who knows the thunder of Thy power?
We flee unto Thy mercy.

Lord, teach us so to mark our days,
That we may prize them duly;
So guide our feet in Wisdom's ways,
That we may love Thee truly:
Return, O Lord! our griefs behold,
And with Thy goodness, as of old,
O satisfy us early.
Scripture: Psalm 90
Lord, Thou hast been Thy people's rest
A pilgrim through this lonely world
Author: Denny Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: The Man of Sorrows Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim through this lonely world,
The blessed Saviour passed:
A mourner all his life was he,
A dying Lamb at last.
2 That tender heart that felt for all,
For all its life-blood gave;
It found on earth no resting-place,
Save only in the grave.
3 Such was our Lord; and shall we fear
The cross, with all its scorn?
Or love a faithless, evil world,
That wreathed his brow with thorn?
Scripture: Matthew 10:25
A pilgrim through this lonely world
Unbelief
Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Human Nature First Line: All you that love the Lord draw near Lyrics: 1 All you that love the Lord draw near,
To my complaint pray lend as Ear,
And help me to condole my Grief,
For I'm distret by Unbelief.
2 Sometimes I'm such a stupid Clod
I doubt the existence of a G O D;
But still his Terrors work my Grief,
While Hope is drown'd in Unbelief.
3 When thus I'm sore distrest all day,
When evening comes I fain would pray,
And beg for Pardon, and Relief;
But there's no G O D:" says Unbelief.
4 But who did all things first create?
Was it not G O D, the Wise and Great?
While thus I would asswage my Grief,
You have no Soul:" says Unbelief.
5 But then I make this quick Reply,
What makes me then afraid to die,
And after Death to dread the Grief
Which I must have for Unbelief?
6 Besides the S A V I O U R came to die,
The Souls of Men to purify;
Which clearly proves for our Relief,
That Men have Souls, O Unbelief!
7 Blest be my G O D, that now I see
That J E S U S gave himself for me;
I'll praise his Name, who bore my Grief,
And saves my Soul from Unbelief.

Baptism in Jordan
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Hymns, on the Life of Immanuel, the Head of every Man First Line: As Jordan rolls his wave Lyrics: 1 As Jordan rolls his wave,
Around Christ Jesus' head,
Methinks I see the Saviour's grave;
And Christ among the dead.
2 Shall death confine the Lord?
Or hold the King of men?
He bursts the tomb, he quits the grave,
And opes the Tyrant's den.
3 All glorious, see him rise
Triumphant o'er his foes:
Against the dwelling of the strong,
Ariel, Jesus goes.
4 Hail, Judah's lion, hail!
The vict'ry, Lord, is thine:
And death subdu'd—and hell itself
The rpey to thee resign.
5 O, for a song of praise,
Immortal as thy fame:
But Heav'n in solemn silence kneels
Before th' Almighty Lamb. Scripture: Matthew 3:13-15

Ye ransom'd sinners sing;

"Ye blessed children come;"
Soon will he call you hence away,
And take his wand'rers home.

The Healing Power of Jesus
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 150 hymnals Topics: Hymns, on the Life of Immanuel, the Head of every Man First Line: Behold the blind their sight receive Lyrics: 1 Behold the blind their sight receive!
Behold, the dead awake, and live!
The dumb speak wonder! and the lame
Leap like the hart, and bless his name!
2 Thus doth th'eternal spirit own
And seal the mission of the Son;
The Father vindicates his cause,
While he hangs bleeding on the cross.
3 He dies! the heav'ns in mourning stood;
He rises, and appears a God!
Behold the Lord ascending high,
No more to bleed, no more to die.
4 Hence and forever from my heart
I bid my doubts and fears depart;
And to those hands my soul resign,
Which bear credentials so divine. Scripture: Matthew 8:16-17

Christ's Passion, and the Sinner's Salvation
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 133 hymnals Topics: The Sufferings, Agony, and Bloody Sweat, of the Man of Grief: The Word Made Flesh First Line: Deep in our hearts let us record Lyrics: 1 Deep in our hearts let us record
The deeper sorrows of our Lord;
Behold the rising billows roll,
To overwhelm his holy soul.
2 In long complaints he spends his breath,
While hosts of hell, and pow'rs of death,
And all the sons of malice join,
To execute their curst design.
3 Yet, gracious God, thy pow'r and love
Has made the curse a blessing prove;
Those dreadful suff'rings of thy Son,
Aton'd for sins which he had done.
4 The pangs of our expiring Lord
The honours of thy law restor'd:
His sorrows made thy justice known,
And paid for follies not his own.
5 O for his sake our guilt forgive,
And let the mourning sinner live:
The Lord will hear us in his name,
Nor shall our hope be turn'd to shame. Scripture: Psalm 69:4

From the curse he set us free;
All our built on him was laid,

God's well pleased in his Son;

Come lord Jesus— come away. Scripture: Psalm 57:9-11
