The Fall and Recovery of Man: Or, Christ and Satan at enmity

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XVII (1785) Scripture: Genesis 3:1 First Line: Deceiv'd by subtle snares of hell Lyrics: 1 Deceiv'd by subtle snares of hell, Adam, our head, our father, fell; His unborn race receiv'd the wound, And heavy curses smote the ground. 2 Thus saith the vengeance of the Lord — But satan found a worse reward; "Let everlasting hatred be "Betwixt the woman's seed and thee. 3 "The woman's seed shall be my Son; "He shall destroy what thou hast done — "Shall break thy head — and only feel "Thy malice raging at his heel." 4 He spake — and bade four thousand years Roll on — at length his Son appears; Angels, with joy descend to earth, And sing the young Redeemer's birth. 5 Lo, by the sons of hell he dies! But as he hung 'twixt earth and skies, He gave their prince a fatal blow, And triumph'd o'er the powers below. Languages: English

Submission to afflictive providences

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.III (1785) Scripture: Job 1:21 First Line: Naked as from the earth we came Lyrics: 1 Naked, as from the earth we came, And rose to life at first, We to the earth return again, And mingle with our dust. 2 The dear delights we here enjoy, And fondly call our own, Are but short favours borrow'd now, To be repaid anon. 3 'Tis GOD that lifts our comforts high Or sinks them in the grave; He gives, and (blessed be his name!) He takes but what he gave. 4 Peace, all our angry passions then; Let each rebellious sigh, Be silent at his sovereign will, And every murmur die. 5 If smiling mercy crown our lives, Its praises shall be spread, And we'll adore the justice too, That strikes our comforts dead.

The Way and End of the Righteous and the Wicked

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #Ia (1785) Scripture: Psalm 1 First Line: Blest is the man who shuns the place Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man who shuns the place, Where sinners love to meet; Who fears to tread their wicked ways, And hates the scoffer’s seat. 2 But in the statutes of the Lord, Has plac'd his chief delight; By day he reads or hears the word, And meditates by night. 3 [He like a plant of generous kind, By living waters set, Safe from the storms and blasting wind, Enjoys a peaceful state.] 4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair Shall his Profession shine; While fruits of holiness appear Like clusters on the vine. 5 Not so the impious and unjust; What vain designs they form! Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm. 6 Sinners in judgement shall not stand Among the sons of grace, When Christ the judge at his right-hand Appoints his saints a place. 7 His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well; But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell.

The Saint happy, the Sinner miserable

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #Ib (1785) Scripture: Psalm 1 First Line: The man is ever blest Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest, Who shuns the sinners' ways, Among their councils never stands, Nor takes the scorner's place: 2 But makes the law of GOD His study and delight, Amidst the labours of the day, And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf his name shall live, His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so th' ungoldy race, They no such blessings find: Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before that judgement seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right-hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and he approves The ways the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow.

The Difference between the Righteous and the Wicked

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #Ic (1785) Scripture: Psalm 1 First Line: Happy the man, whose cautious feet Lyrics: 1 Happy the man, whose cautious feet Shun the broad way that sinners go, Who hates the place where Atheists meet, And fears to talk as scoffers do. 2 He loves t' employ his morning-light Among the statutes of the Lord; And spends the wakeful hours of night, With pleasure pond'ring o'er the word. 3 He, like a plant by gentle streams, Shall flourish in immortal green; And heaven will shine with kindest beams, On ev'ry work his hands begin. 4 But sinners find their counsels cross'd; As chaff before the tempest flies; So shall their hopes be blown and lost, When the last trumpet shakes the skies. 5 In vain the rebel seeks to stand In judgment with the pious race; The dreadful Judge with stern command Divides him to a different place. 6 "Strait is the way my saints have trod, "I bless'd the path, and drew it plain; "But you would chuse the crooked road; "And down it leads to endless pain.

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #IIa (1785) Scripture: Psalm 2 First Line: Maker and Sovereign Lord Lyrics: 1 [Maker and Sovereign Lord Of heaven and earth and seas, Thy providence confirms thy word, And answers thy decrees. 2 The things so long foretold By David are fulfill'd; When Jews and Gentiles join'd to slay Jesus, thine holy Child.] 3 Why did the Gentiles rage, And Jews, with one accord Join all their councils to destroy Th' Anointed of the Lord? 4 Rulers and kings agree To form a vain design; Against the Lord their powers unite, Against his Christ they join. 5 The Lord derides their rage, And will support his throne; He that hath rais'd him from the dead, Hath own'd him for his Son. Pause. 6 Now he's ascended high, To rule the subject earth; The merit of his blood he pleads, And pleads his heav'nly birth. 7 Beneath his sovereign sway The Gentile nations bend; Far as the world's remotest bounds, His kingdom shall extend. 8 The nations that rebel, Must feel his iron rod; He'll vindicate those honours well Which he receiv'd from God. 9 [Be wise, ye rulers, now, And worship at his throne; With trembling joy, ye people bow, To God's exalted Son. 10 If once his wrath arise, Ye perish on the place; Then blessed is the soul that flies For refuge to his grace.] Languages: English

Christ's Death, Resurrection, and Ascension

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #IIc (1785) Scripture: Psalm 2 First Line: Why did the Jews proclaim their rage? Lyrics: 1 Why did the Jews proclaim their rage? The Romans, why their swords employ? Against the Lord their powers engage, His dear Anointed to destroy? 2 "Come, let us break his bands, they say, "This man shall never give us laws;" And thus they cast his yoke away, And nail'd the Monarch to the cross. 3 But GOD, who high in glory reigns, Laughs at their pride, their rage controls; He'll smite their hearts with inward pains, And speak in thunder to their souls. 4 "I will maintain the King I made "On Zion's everlasting hill, "My hand shall bring him from the dead, "And he shall stand your Sovereign still. 5 [His wond'rous rising from the earth Makes his eternal Godhead known; The Lord declares his heavenly birth: "This day have I begot my Son. 6 "Ascend, my Son, to my right-hand, "There thou shalt ask, and I bestow "The utmost bounds of heathen lands; "To thee their suppliant tribes shall bow."] 7 But nations that resist his grace Shall fall beneath his lifted rod; His arm shall crush the impious race, That dares provoke th' avenging GOD. Pause. 8 Now, ye that sit on earthly thrones, Be wise, and serve the Lord the Lamb: Now to his feet submit your crowns, Rejoice and tremble at his name. 9 With humble love address the Son, Lest he grow angry, and ye die; His wrath will burn to worlds unknown, His love gives life above the sky. 10 His storms shall quell the stubborn foe, And sink his honours in the dust: Happy the souls, their God that know, And make his grace their only trust.

Doubts and Fears suppressed; or, God our Defence from Sin and Satan

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #IIIa (1785) Scripture: Psalm 3 First Line: My God, how many are my fears? Lyrics: 1 My God how many are my fears? How fast my foes increase? Conspiring my eternal death, They break my present peace. 2 Thy lying tempter would persuade There's no relief in heaven, And all my growing sins appear Too great to be forgiven. 3 But thou, my glory, and my strength, Shalt on the tempter tread, Shalt silence all my threatening guilt, And raise my drooping head. 4 [I cry'd, and from his holy hill He bow'd a listening ear; I call'd my Father, and my GOD, And he subdued my fear. 5 He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes, In spite of all my foes; I 'woke, and wonder'd at the grace That guarded my repose.] 6 What tho' the hosts of death and hell All arm'd against me stood; Terrors no more shall shake my soul; My refuge is my GOD. 7 Arise, O Lord, fulfil thy grace, While I thy glory sing; My God has broke the serpent's teeth, And death has lost his sting. 8 Salvation to the Lord belongs, His arm alone can save; Blessings attend thy people here, And reach beyond the grave.
