Brazen Serpent

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Numbers 21:8-9 First Line: When Israel's grieving tribes complain'd Lyrics: 1 When Israel's grieving tribes complain'd, With fiery serpents greatly pain'd, A serpent strait the prophet made Of molten brass, to view display'd. 2 Around the fainting crowds attend To heaven their mournful sigs ascend; They hope, they look, while from the pole, Descends a pow'r that makes them whole. 3 But, O, what healing to the heart, Doth our redeemer's cross impart! What life, by faith, our souls receive! What pleasures do his sorrows give! 4 Still may I view the savior's cross, And other objects count but loss; Here still be fix'd my feasted eyes, Enraptur'd with his sacrifice! 5 Jesus the savior, balmy name! Thy worth my tongue would now proclaim; By thy atonement set me free, My life, my hope is all from thee.

And the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way

Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Numbers 21:4 First Line: How many and great are the foes which infest Lyrics: 1 How many and great are the foes which infest The way thro' this world to the Canaan of rest? The traveller ever his Lord would obey, Yet oft is discourag'd because of the way. 2 Though Satan, the world, and corruptions combine, And try to prevent the poor Pilgrim's design; They cannot destroy, though they often betray, And make him discourag'd because of the way. 3 When good he would do, imperfections abound, His graces are weak, and temptations surround; For many turn back, and would lead him astray, Which makes him discourag'd because of the way. 4 Yet why should the Christian of Canaan despair, Perplex'd or alarm'd with dishonoring fear? Let him but his map and his leader obey, Nor more be discourag'd because of the way. 5 In Christ inexhaustible treasures are stor'd, And Jesus will suitable blessings afford; Then why should the Pilgrim be fill'd with dismay? Or why be discourag'd because of the way? 6 Unquenchable love and omnipotent pow'r, Will land him ere long on the heav'nly shore; There pleasure eternal will amply repay For all the discouragements found in the way.

Christ on the Cross

Author: Richard Lee Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Numbers 21:8 First Line: When I view my Saviour bleeding Lyrics: 1 When I view my Saviour bleeding, For my sins, upon the tree; Oh, how wondrous!--how exceeding Great his love appears to me!

Now the gracious Mediator Risen to the courts of bliss, Claims for me, a sinful creature, Pardon, righteousness, and peace! 3 Sure such infinite affection Lays the highest claims to mine; All my powers, without exception, Should in fervent praises join. Jesus, fit me for thy service; Form me for thyself alone; I am thy most costly purchase,-- Take possession of thine own.
