Now be the God of Israel bless'd

Now he bedews old David's root With blessings from the skies; He makes the Branch of Promise grow, The promised Horn arise. [John wns the prophet of the Lord, To go before his face; The herald which our Savior God Sent to prepare his ways. He makes the great salvation known, He speaks of pardoned sins; While grace divine, and heav'nly love, In its own glory shines. "Behold the Lamb of God," he cnes. "That takes our guilt away; I saw the Spirit o'er his head, On his baptizing day.] "Be every vale exalted high, Sink every mountain low; The proud must stoop, and humble souls Shall his salvation know. "The heathen realms with Isr'el's land Shall join in sweet accord And all that's born of man shall see The glory of the Lord. "Behold the Morning Star arise, Ye that in darkness sit; He marks the path that leads to peace, And guides our doubtful feet." Scripture: Luke 1:68 Languages: English

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #525 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ his sufferings and kingdom; Sufferings and kingdom of Christ; Death and sufferings of Christ; Sufferings and death of Christ Lyrics: 'Twas the commission of our Lord, "Go teach the nations, and baptize:" The nations have received the word Since he ascended to the skies. He sits upon th' eternal hills, With grace and pardon in his hands; And sends his cov'nant with the seals, To bless the distant British lands. "Repent, and be baptized," he saith, For the remission of your sins:" And thus our sense assists our faith, And shows us what his gospel means. Our souls he washes in his blood, As water makes the body clean; And the good Spirit from our God Descends like purifying rain. Thus we engage ourselves to thee, And seal our cov'nant with the Lord; O may the great eternal Three In heav'n our solemn vows record! Scripture: Matthew 28:19 Languages: English

What language shall I borrow Thy boundless love to sing? No mortal words can measure The burdens thou didst take, Accepting pain as pleasure, All for my sinful sake. 2 By thine own kin neglected By trusted ones denied By bitter foes rejected, Thorn-crowned, and crucified Earth's hatred and affliction In patience thou didst bear, Returning benediction For cross and nail and spear. 3 Had ever love such proving! Was ever love so priced! Ah, what is all my loving Compared with thine, O Christ! 'Tis scarcely worth the gaining This paltry heart of mine; And yet for its obtaining Thou paid'st a price divine.
