Romans 8:31-39: Let Christian faith and hope dispel

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R48 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Let Christian faith and hope dispel Lyrics: Let Christian faith and hope dispel the fears of guilt and woe; The Lord Almighty is our friend, and who can prove a foe? He who his Son, most dear and loved, gave up for us to die. Shall he not all things freely give that goodness can supply? Behold the best, the greatest gift, of everlasting love! Behold the pledge of peace below, and perfect bliss above! Where is the judge who can condemn, since God hath justified? Who shall charge those with guilt or crime for whom the Saviour died? 142 The Saviour died, but rose again triumphant from the grave; And pleads our cause at God’s right hand, omnipotent to save. Who then can e’er divide us more from Jesus and his love, Or break the sacred chain that binds the earth to heav’n above? Let troubles rise, and terrors frown, and days of darkness fall; Through him all dangers we’ll defy, and more than conquer all. Nor death nor life, nor earth nor hell, nor time’s destroying sway, Can e’er efface us from his heart, or make his love decay. Each future period that will bless, as it has bless’d the past; He loved us from the first of time, he loves us to the last. Scripture: Romans 8:31-39 Languages: English

Though perfect eloquence adorned

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R49 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Though perfect eloquence adorned my sweet persuading tongue, Though I could speak in higher strains than ever angel sung; Though prophecy my soul inspired, and made all myst’ries plain: Yet, were I void of Christian love, these gifts were all in vain. Nay, though my faith with boundless pow’r ev’n mountains could remove I still am nothing, if I’m void of charity and love. Although with lib’ral hand I gave my goods the poor to feed, Nay, gave my body to the flames, still fruitless were the deed. Love suffers long; love envies not; but love is ever kind; She never boasteth of herself, nor proudly lifts the mind. Love harbours no suspicious thought, is patient to the bad; Grieved when she hears of sins and crimes, and in the truth is glad. Love no unseemly carriage shows, nor selfishly confined; She glows with social tenderness, and feels for all mankind. Love beareth much, much she believes, and still she hopes the best; Love meekly suffers many a wrong, though sore with hardship pressed. Love still shall hold an endless reign in earth and heav’n above, When tongues shall cease, and prophets fail, and ev’ry gift but love. Here all our gifts imperfect are; but better days draw nigh, When perfect light shall pour its rays, and all those shadows fly. Like children here we speak and think, amused with childish toys; But when our pow’rs their manhood reach, we’ll scorn our present joys. Now dark and dim, as through a glass, are God and truth beheld; Then shall we see as face to face, and God shall be unvailed. Faith, Hope, and Love, now dwell on earth, and earth by them is blest; But Faith and Hope must yield to Love, of all the graces best. 143 Hope shall to full fruition rise, and Faith be sight above: These are the means, but this the end; for saints for ever love.

When the last trumpet's awful voice

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R50 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: When the last trumpet’s awful voice this rending earth shall shake, When op’ning graves shall yield their charge, and dust to life awake; Those bodies that corrupted fell shall incorrupted rise, And mortal forms shall spring to life immortal in the skies. Behold what heav’nly prophets sung is now at last fulfilled That Death should yield his ancient reign, and, vanquished, quit the field. Let Faith exalt her joyful voice, and thus begin to sing; O Grave! where is thy triumph now? and where, O Death! thy sting? Thy sting was sin, and conscious guilt, ’twas this that armed thy dart; The law gave sin its strength and force to pierce the sinner’s heart: But God, whose name be ever bless’d! disarms that foe we dread, And makes us conqu’rors when we die, through Christ our living head. Then stedfast let us still remain, though dangers rise around, And in the work prescribed by God yet more and more abound; Assured that though we labour now, we labour not in vain, But, through the grace of heav’n’s great Lord, th’ eternal crown shall gain. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:52-58 Languages: English

Soon shall this earthly frame, dissolved

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R51 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Soon shall this earthly frame, dissolved, in death and ruins lie; But better mansions wait the just, prepared above the sky. An house eternal, built by God, shall lodge the holy mind, When once those prison-walIs have fall’n by which ‘tis now confined. Hence, burdened with a weight of clay, we groan beneath the load, Waiting the hour which sets us free, and brings us home to God. We know, that when the soul, unclothed, shall from this body fly, ’Twill animate a purer frame with life that cannot die. Such are the hopes that cheer the just; these hopes their God hath giv’n; His Spirit is the earnest now, and seals their souls for heav’n. We walk by faith of joys to come, faith grounded on his word; But while this body is our home, we mourn an absent Lord. What faith rejoices to believe, we long and pant to see; we would be absent from the flesh, and present, Lord! with thee. But still, or here, or going hence, to this our labours tend, That, in his service spent, our life may in his favour end. 144 For, lo! before the Son, as judge, th’ assembled world shall stand, To take the punishment or prize from his unerring hand. Impartial retributions then our diff’rent lives await; Our present actions, good or bad, shall fix our future fate. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:1-11 Languages: English

Philip. 2:6-12: Ye who the name of Jesus bear

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R52 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Ye who the name of Jesus bear Lyrics: Ye who the name of Jesus bear, his sacred steps pursue; And let that mind which was in him be also found in you. Though in the form of God he was, his only Son declared, Nor to be equally adored as robb’ry did regard; His greatness he for us abased, for us his glory vailed; In human likeness dwelt on earth, his majesty concealed: Nor only as a man appears, but stoops a servant low; Submits to death, nay, bears the cross, in all its shame and woe. Hence God this gen’rous love to men with honours just hath crowned, And raised the name of Jesus far above all names renowned: That at this name, with sacred awe, each humble knee should bow Of hosts immortal in the skies, and nations spread below: That all the prostrate pow’rs of hell might tremble at his word, And ev’ry tribe, and ev’ry tongue, confess that he is Lord. Scripture: Philippians 2:6-12 Languages: English

Take comfort, Christians, when your friends

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R53 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Take comfort, Christians, when your friends in Jesus fall asleep; Their better being never ends; why then dejected weep? Why inconsolable, as those to whom no hope is giv’n? Death is the messenger of peace, and calls the soul to heav’n. As Jesus died, and rose again victorious from the dead; So his disciples rise, and reign with their triumphant Head. The time draws nigh, when from the clouds Christ shall with shouts descend, And the last trumpet’s awful voice the heav’ns and earth shall rend. Then they who live shall changed be, and they who sleep shall wake; The graves shall yield their ancient charge, and earth’s foundations shake. The saints of God, from death set free, with joy shall mount on high; The heav’nly hosts with praises loud shall meet them in the sky, Together to their Father’s house with joyful hearts they go; And dwell for ever with the Lord, beyond the reach of woe. A few short years of evil past, we reach the happy shore, where death-divided friends at last shall meet, to part no more. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Languages: English

I'm not ashamed to own my Lord

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R54 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: I’m not ashamed to own my Lord, or to defend his cause, Maintain the glory of his cross, and honour all his laws. 145 Jesus, my Lord! I know his name, his name is all my boast; Nor will he put my soul to shame, nor let my hope be lost. I know that safe with him remains, protected by his pow’r, What I’ve committed to his trust, till the decisive hour. Then will he own his servant’s name before his Father’s face, And in the New Jerusalem appoint my soul a place. Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:12 Languages: English

My race is run; my warfare's o'er

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R55 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: My race is run; my warfare’s o’er; the solemn hour is nigh, When, offered up to God, my soul shall wing its flight on high. With heav’nly weapons I have fought the battles of the Lord; Finished my course, and kept the faith, depending on his word. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown which cannot fade; The righteous Judge at that great day shall place it on my head. Nor hath the Sov’reign Lord decreed this prize for me alone; But for all such as love like me th’ appearance of his Son. From ev’ry snare and evil work his grace shall me defend, And to his heav’nly kingdom safe shall bring me in the end. Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:6-8 Languages: English

Titus 3:3-9: How wretched was our former state

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R56 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How wretched was our former state Lyrics: How wretched was our former state, when, slaves to Satan’s sway, With hearts disordered and impure, o’erwhelmed in sin we lay! But, O my soul! for ever praise, for ever love his name, Who turned thee from the fatal paths of folly, sin, and shame. Vain and presumptuous is the trust which in our works we place, Salvation from a higher source flows to the human race. ’Tis from the mercy of our God that all our hopes begin; His mercy saved our souls from death, and washed our souls from sin. His Spirit, through the Saviour shed, its sacred fire imparts, Refines our dross, and Love divine rekindles in our hearts. Thence raised from death, we live anew; and, justified by grace, We hope in glory to appear, and see our Father’s face. Let all who hold this faith and hope in holy deeds abound; Thus faith approves itself sincere, by active virtue crowned. Scripture: Titus 3:3-9 Languages: English

Heb. 4:14-16: Jesus, the Son of God, who once

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R57 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Jesus, the Son of God, who once Lyrics: Jesus, the Son of God, who once for us his life resigned, Now lives in heav’n, our great High Priest, and never-dying friend. Through life, through death, let us to him with constancy adhere; Faith shall supply new strength, and hope shall banish ev’ry fear. To human weakness not severe is our High Priest above; His heart o’erflows with tenderness, his bowels melt with love. 146 With sympathetic feelings touched, he knows our feeble frame; He knows what sore temptations are, for he has felt the same. But though he felt temptation’s pow’r, unconquered he remained; Nor, ‘midst the frailty of our frame, by sin was ever stained. As, in the days of feeble flesh, he poured forth cries and tears; So, though exalted, still he feels what ev’ry Christian bears. Then let us, with a filial heart, come boldly to the throne Of grace supreme, to tell our griefs, and all our wants make known: That mercy we may there obtain for sins and errors past, And grace to help in time of need, while days of trial last. Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Languages: English
