The first Promise
Author: Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Fall of man And recovery First Line: When by the tempter's wiles betray'd Lyrics: 1 When, by the tempter's wiles betray'd,
Adam our head and parent fell;
Unknown before, a pleasure spread
Thro' all the mazy deeps of hell.
2 Infernal powers rejoic'd to see
The new-made world destroy'd, undone;
But God proclaims his great decree,
Pardon and mercy thro' his son.
3 Serpent accurs'd, thy sentence read,
Almighty vengeance thou shalt feel:
The woman's seed shall break thy head,
Thy malice faintly bruise his heel.
4 Thus God declares, and Christ descends,
Assumes a mortal form, and dies;
Whilst in his death, death's empire ends,
And the proud conqueror conquer'd lies.
5 Dying, the king of glory deals
Ruin to all his numerous foes:
His power the prince of darkness feels,
And sinks oppress'd beneath his woes.
Scripture: Genesis 3:15
The first Promise
Woe to the men on earth who dwell
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: Man's Ruined Estate Lyrics: 1 Woe to the men on earth who dwell,
Nor dread th' Almighty's frown,
When God doth all his wrath reveal,
And shower his judgments down.
2 Sinners, expect those heaviest showers;
To meet your God, prepare!
For, lo! the seventh angel pours
His vial on the air.
3 Lo! from their seats the mountains leap,
The mountains are not found,
Transported far into the deep,
And in the ocean drowned.
4 Who then shall live and face the throne,
And face the Judge severe?
When heaven and earth are fled and gone,
Oh, where shall I appear?
5 Now, only now, against that hour
We may a place provide;
Beyond the grave, beyond the power
Of hell our spirits hide;--
6 Firm in the all-destroying shock,
May view the final scene;
For, lo, the everlasting Rock
Is cleft to take us in.
Woe to the men on earth who dwell
Praise
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Sufferings, Agony, and Bloody Sweat, of the Man of Grief: The Word Made Flesh First Line: Worthy is Christ, our Paschal Lamb Lyrics: 1 Worthy is Christ, our Paschal Lamb,
Who bow'd his head, and bore our shame,
On God's eternal throne to reign:
For he for us, for us, was slain.
2 For ev'ry people, land, and tongue,
He calls his royal conqu'ring throng;
Let all thy hosts, thy grace confess,
And call thee, Lord our Righteousness.
3 We praise thee, thou whose spirit rests
On us thy Kings, on us thy Priests:
Redeem'd to banquet with our God,
And bought, and ransom'd by his blood.
4 Let ev'ry spirit now with thee,
And all on earth and all on sea,
Thy wisdom bless, and fill thy throne,
With worship due to thee alone.
5 Be pow'r and riches ever thine!
And strength and majesty divine!
By ev'ry creature reign ador'd,
The only, everlasting Lord.
Scripture: Exodus 15:1-2 Text Sources: Whitfield's

God's Faithfulness and Truth
Author: N. Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: The Creation of Man, his Fall, Recovery, etc. First Line: Ye humble saints, proclaim abroad Lyrics: 1 Ye humble saints proclaim abroad
The honours of a faithful God,
How just and true area all his ways,
How much above your highest praise.
2 The words his sacred lips declare
Of his own mind the image bear;
What should him tempt, from frailty free,
Blest in his self-sufficiency?
3 He will not his great self deny:
A God all truth can never lie:
As well might he his being quit,
As breaks his oath, or word forget.
4 Let frighten'd rivers change their course,
Or backward hasten to their source;
Swift thro' the air let rocks be hurl'd,
And mountains like the chaff be whirl'd.
5 Let sun and stars forget to rise,
Or quit their stations in the skies;
Let heav'n and earth both pass away,
Eternal truth shall ne'er decay.
6 True to his word, God gave his Son,
To die for crimes which men had done;
Blest pledge! He never will revoke
A single promise he has spoke.
Scripture: Numbers 23:19
God's Faithfulness and Truth
The Saviour's Inviation
Meter: Irregular Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Hymns, on the Life of Immanuel, the Head of every Man First Line: Ye scarlet colored sinners, come Lyrics: 1 Ye scarlet colour'd sinners come;
Jesus the Lord, invites you home;
O whither can you go?
What! are your crimes of crimson hue?
His promise is for ever true,
He'll wash you white as snow.
2 Backsliding souls fill'd with your ways,
Whose weeping nights and wretched days,
In bitterness are spent!
Return to Jesus, he'll reveal
His lovely face, and sweetly heal
What you so much lament.
3 Tried souls! look up—he says 'tis I—
He loves you still, but means to try
If faith will bear the test;
The Lord has giv'n the chiefest good,
He shed for you his precious blood;
O trust him for the rest!
4 Ye tender souls draw hither too,
Ye grateful, highly favour'd few,
Who feel the debt you owe;—
Press on, the Lord hath more to give;
By faith upon him daily live,
And you shall find it so. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30
The Saviour's Inviation
The Crucifixion of Christ
Author: S. Stennett Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Who tasted Death for Every Man First Line: Yonder—amazing sight! I see Lyrics: 1 Yonder—amazing sight!—I see
Th' incarnate Son of God
Expiring on the accursed tree,
And welt'ring in his blood.
2 Behold a purple torrent run
Down from his hands and head:
The crimson tide puts out the sun;
His groans awake the dead.
3 The trembling earth, the darken'd sky,
Proclaim the truth aloud!
And, with th' amaz'd Centurion, cry,
"This is the Son of God."
4 So great, so vast a sacrifice
May well my hope revive:
If God's own Son thus bleeds and dies,
The sinner sure may live.
5 O that these cords of love divine
Might draw me, Lord, to thee!
Thou hast my heart, it shall be thine—
Thine it shall ever be! Scripture: Ephesians 2:13-16

Faith is the brightest evidence
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: Wickedness of man Lyrics:
Faith is the brightest evidence
Of things beyond our sight,
Breaks through the clouds of flesh and sense,
And dwells in heav'nly light.
It sets times past in present view,
Brings distant prospects home,
Of things a thousand years ago,
Or thousand years to come.
By faith we know the worlds were made
By God's almighty word;
Abram, to unknown countries led,
By faith obeyed the Lord.
He sought a city fair and high,
Built by th' eternal hands,
And faith assures us, though we die,
That heav'nly building stands.
Scripture: Hebrews 11
Faith is the brightest evidence
Thus saith the mercy of the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Wickedness of man Lyrics:
Thus saith the mercy of the Lord,
"I'll be a God to thee;
I'll bless thy num'rous race, and they
Shall be a seed for me."
Abram believed the promised grace,
And gave his sons to God;
But water seals the blessing now,
That once was sealed with blood.
Thus Lydia sanctified her house,
When she received the word;
Thus the believing jailer gave
His household to the Lord.
Thus later saints, eternal King!
Thine ancient truth embrace;
To thee their infant offspring bring,
And humbly claim the grace.
Scripture: Genesis 17:7
Thus saith the mercy of the Lord
Do we not know that solemn word
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 53 hymnals Topics: Wickedness of man Lyrics:
Do we not know that solemn word,
That we are buried with the Lord,
Baptized into his death, and then
Put off the body of our sin?
Our souls receive diviner breath,
Raised from corruption, guilt, and death;
So from the grave did Christ arise,
And lives to God above the skies.
No more let sin or Satan reign
Over our mortal flesh again;
The various lusts we served before
Shall have dominion now no more.
Scripture: Romans 6:3-4
Do we not know that solemn word
