Free Grace in Revealing Christ
Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #71 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Jesus, the Man of constant grief Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the Man of constant grief,
A mourner all his days;
His spirit once rejoiced aloud,
And turned his joy to praise:
2 “Father, I thank thy wondrous love,
That has revealed thy Son
To men unlearnèd; and to babes
Has made the gospel known.
3 “The mysteries of redeeming grace
Are hidden from the wise;
While pride and carnal reasonings join
To swell and blind their eyes.”
4 Thus does the Lord of heaven and earth
His great decrees fulfil,
And order all his works of grace
By his own sovereign will. Topics: Election and God's Decrees Languages: English
Free Grace in Revealing Christ
The Triumph of Faith
Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #72 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Who shall the Lord's elect condemn? Lyrics: 1 Who shall the Lord’s elect condemn?
’Tis God that justifies their souls;
And mercy, like a mighty stream,
O’er all their sins divinely rolls.
2 Who shall adjudge the saints to hell?
’Tis Christ that suffered in their stead;
And the salvation to fulfil,
Behold him rising from the dead!
3 He lives! he lives! and sits above,
For ever interceding there;
Who shall divide us from his love,
Or what shall tempt us to despair?
4 Shall persecution, or distress,
Famine, or sword, or nakedness?
He that has loved us bears us through,
And makes us more than conquerors, too.
5 Faith has an overcoming power;
It triumphs in the dying hour.
Christ is our life, our joy, our hope,
Nor can we sink with such a prop.
6 Not all that men on earth can do,
Nor powers on high, nor powers below,
Shall cause his mercy to remove,
Or wean our hearts from Christ our love.

The Triumph of Faith
Electing Grace
Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #73 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Jesus, we bless thy Father's name Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we bless thy Father’s name;
Thy God and ours are both the same,
What heavenly blessings from his throne
Flow down to sinners through his Son!
2 “Christ be my first elect,” he said;
Then chose our souls in Christ, our Head,
Before he gave the mountains birth,
Or laid foundations for the earth.
3 Thus did eternal love begin
To raise us up from death and sin;
Our characters were then decreed,
Blameless in love, a holy seed.
4 Predestinated to be sons,
Born by degrees, but chose at once;
A new regenerated race,
To praise the glory of his grace.
5 With Christ, our Lord, we share our part
In the affections of his heart;
Nor shall our souls be thence removed,
Till he forgets his first Beloved. Topics: Election and God's Decrees Languages: English
Electing Grace
Election excludes Boasting
Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #74 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: But few among the carnal wise Lyrics: 1 But few among the carnal wise,
But few of noble race,
Obtain the favour of thy eyes,
Almighty King of grace!
2 He takes the men of meanest name
For sons and heirs of God;
And thus he pours abundant shame
On honourable blood.
3 He calls the fool and makes him know
The mysteries of his grace,
To bring aspiring wisdom low,
And all its pride abase.
4 Nature has all its glories lost,
When brought before his throne;
No flesh shall in his presence boast,
But in the Lord alone. Topics: Election and God's Decrees Languages: English

Election Sovereign and Free
Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #75 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Behold the potter and the clay Lyrics: 1 Behold the potter and the clay;
He forms his vessels as he please;
Such is our God, and such are we,
The subjects of his high decrees.
2 [Does not the workman’s power extend
O’er all the mass, which part to choose,
And mould it for a nobler end,
And which to leave for viler use?]
3 May not the sovereign Lord on high
Dispense his favours as he will?
Choose some to life, while others die,
And yet be just and gracious still?
4 [What if, to make his terror known,
He let his patience long endure,
Suffering vile rebels to go on,
And seal their own destruction sure?]
5 [What if he mean to show his grace,
And his electing love employs,
To mark out some of mortal race,
And form them fit for heavenly joys?]
6 Shall man reply against his Lord,
And call his Maker’s ways unjust,
The thunder of whose dreadful word
Can crush a thousand worlds to dust?
7 But O, my soul, if truths so bright
Should dazzle and confound thy sight,
Yet still his written will obey,
And wait the great decisive day.
8 Then shall he make his justice known,
And the whole world before his throne,
With joy or terror shall confess
The glory of his righteousness.

Predestination made known by Calling
Author: Kent Hymnal: SHPW1844 #76 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: There is a period known to God Lyrics: 1 There is a period known to God
When all his sheep, redeemed by blood,
Shall leave the hateful ways of sin,
Turn to the fold, and enter in.
2 At peace with hell, with God at war,
In sin’s dark maze they wander far,
Indulge their lust, and still go on
As far from God as sheep can run.
3 But see how heaven’s indulgent care
Attends their wanderings here and there;
Still hard at heel, where’er they stray,
With pricking thorns to hedge their way.
4 [When wisdom calls, they stop their ear,
And headlong urge the mad career;
Judgments nor mercies e’er can sway
Their roving feet to wisdom’s way.]
5 Glory to God, they ne’er shall rove
Beyond the limits of his love;
Fenced with Jehovah’s shalls and wills,
Firm as the everlasting hills.
6 The appointed time rolls on apace,
Not to propose but call by grace;
To change the heart, renew the will,
And turn the feet to Zion’s hill. Topics: Election and God's Decrees Languages: English

Election
Author: Hart Hymnal: SHPW1844 #77 (1844) Meter: 7.5 First Line: Brethren, would you know your stay Lyrics: 1 Brethren, would you know your stay,
What it is supports you still?
Why, though tempted every day,
Yet you stand, and stand you will?
Long before our birth,
Nay, before Jehovah laid
The foundations of the earth,
We were chosen in our Head.
2 God’s election is the ground
Of our hope to persevere;
On this rock your building found,
And preserve your title clear.
Infidels may laugh;
Pharisees gainsay or rail;
Here’s your tenure (keep it safe) –
God’s elect can never fail! Topics: Election and God's Decrees Languages: English

Predestination
Author: Paice Hymnal: SHPW1844 #78 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Fix'd was the eternal state of man Lyrics: 1 Fixed was the eternal state of man,
Ere time its rapid course began;
Appointed, by God’s firm decree,
To endless joy or misery.
2 Fixed was the vast eternal deep
Between the goats and chosen sheep;
Nor can a union e’er take place
’Twixt heirs of wrath and heirs of grace.
3 [Yet erring men make much ado,
And strive to force a passage through;
But, ah! what vain attempt is this,
To strive to ford that deep abyss!]
4 All glory to the great I AM,
Who chose me in the blessed Lamb;
Whilst millions of the human race
Will never know or taste his grace;
5 And blessings on atoning blood,
By which I’m reconciled to God;
And praise be to the Spirit given,
Who frees from sin and leads to heaven. Topics: Election and God's Decrees Languages: English

The Glories of Adoption
Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #79 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Behold what wondrous grace Lyrics: 1 Behold what wondrous grace
The Father has bestowed
On sinners of a mortal race,
To call them sons of God.
2 ’Tis no surprising thing
That we should be unknown;
The Jewish world knew not their King,
God’s everlasting Son.
3 Nor does it yet appear
How great we must be made;
But when we see our Saviour there,
We shall be like our Head.
4 A hope so much divine
May trials well endure,
For we, as sons in Christ, are made
As pure as he is pure.
5 If in my Father’s love
I share a filial part,
Send down thy Spirit, like a dove,
To rest upon my heart.
6 We would no longer lie
Like slaves before thy throne;
Our faith shall Abba, Father, cry,
And thou the kindred own. Topics: Adoption Languages: English
The Glories of Adoption
The Privileges of Adoption
Author: Humphreys Hymnal: SHPW1844 #80 (1844) First Line: Blessed are the sons of God Lyrics: 1 Blessed are the sons of God,
They are bought with Jesus’ blood;
They are ransomed from the grave
Life eternal they shall have.
2 God did love them in his Son
Long before the world began;
They the seal of this receive,
When in Jesus they believe.
3 They are justified by grace;
They enjoy a solid peace;
All their sins are washed away;
They shall stand in God’s great day!
4 [They produce the fruits of grace,
Clothed in Jesus’ righteousness;
Born of God, they hate all sin;
God’s pure seed remains within!]
5 They have fellowship with God,
Through the Mediator’s blood;
One with God, through Jesus one,
Glory is in them begun!
6 Though they suffer much on earth,
Strangers to the worldling’s mirth,
Yet they have an inward joy,
Pleasures which can never cloy. Topics: Adoption Languages: English
