Fairer than the Sons of Men
Author: James Relly Meter: Irregular Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 45:2 First Line: Eternal excellence Lyrics: 1 Eternal excellence!
Thy Worms would fain declare,
In the divinest sense
How thou art heav'nly fair:
O Prince, Messiah, thou art seen
The fairest of the sons of men.
2 Jesus, thy beauties shine
Bright, infinitely bright;
Both human and divine,
In thee, O Lamb, unite!
Whate'er in heav'n or earth we see,
As beautiful, are types of thee.
3 The son, the moon, the stars,
With all the thrones above,
Thine excellence declare,
Thy beauty, pow'r, and love:
All worlds before thy throne we see,
A sea of glass reflecting thee.
4 Man in his first estate,
Most wonderfully form'd,
With beauty's pow'rs replete,
With holiness adorn'd,
From ev'ry spot and blemish free,
Was but a figure, Lord, of thee.
5 As blood of goats, and lambs,
Is to thy blood divine,
Or, as their altar flames,
Dear Jesus are to thine;
So Adam's purity appears,
To thee no more proportion bears.
6 Self int'rest, Lord, shall fail,
Man's haughtiness sinks low;
Thy beauty, Lord, prevail;
We at thy footstool bow:
Thou know'st our heart, we need no more;
Give us to worship, love, adore.
Fairer than the Sons of Men
Long did both Kings and Prophets wait
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 45 Lyrics: 1 Long did both Kings and Prophets wait
To see the Lord of glory great
Appear, to answer that great end,
To prove the fallen sinners friend.
2 Of him the prophets long foretold,
The fathers wish'd him to behold;
Him all the nations did desire
And Angels wish'd him to admire.
3 Their prophecies are now fulfill'd,
The glorious mystr'y is reveal'd:
The child is born, the son is giv'n,
The prince of life is come from heav'n.
4 His name is Jesus Christ the Lord,
The great and everlasting word:
He came to execute the plan,
To save the fallen race of man.
5 He is the Lord from heaven come,
Our human nature to assume:
Our sins to bear, his blood to shed,
Yet, bruise and crush the serpents head.
6 He left his glorious throne above,
And comes with pity grace and love:
He comes to call the sons of men,
And turn them to their God again.
7 We praise thee, O thou king of peace!
Who art our life and righteousness;
Thou virgin son, thou David's star:
No creature can thy love declare.
8 All such are truly dead in sin,
Who feel themselves not mov'd within,
To join with christians here on eartht,
To shew and praise the Saviour's birth.
9 Let all who dwell with hosts on high!
Engage his praise to magnify;
With all the efforts they can raise,
Thus Join to sing the Saviour's praise.

Long did both Kings and Prophets wait
Great comforts it must needs afford
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 45 Lyrics: 1 Great comforts it must needs afford
To those who preach the Gospel word;
When circumstances shew them plain,
That they have labour'd not in vain.
2 To find their labours, have been bless'd
Is what has been their souls request:
It fills their heart with thankful pray'r,
With love to God, and holy fear.
3 They bear their flock upon their mind
And feel with love to them inclin'd;
Their love from day to day enlarge,
To all their flock and all their charge.
4 Their hearts with thanks & praise abound
To see their feeble efforts crown'd--
Their joys they cannot well express
To find their labours have success.
5 They pray to God with all their heart,
That God in mercy would impart;
His grace divine to carry on!
His glorious works in Saints begun.
6 The flock redeem'd with Jesus' blood,
Becomes united to their God;
In him they live, in him they grow,
And shew his praise in all they do.
7 Here Gospel Ministers are taught,
How they in all their office ought:
To teach their flock to watch and pray,
That Christ may keep them in his way.
8 May we who labour in that call
Have that great care for one and all;
Be zealous for that noble cause,
As Paul, the great Apostle was.
