Shepherd

Author: Addison Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CCXLII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Addison First Line: The Lord my pasture shall prepare Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noon day walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales, and dewy meads, My weary, wand'ring steps he leads Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Tho' in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My stedfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me thro' the dreadful shade. 3 Tho' in a bare and rugged way, Thro' devious lonely wilds I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains beguile; The barren wilderness shall smile, With sudden greens and herbage crown'd, And streams shall murmur all around.

Jesus, the Author and Finisher of Faith

Author: Beddome Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CCLXXX (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Person Name: Beddome First Line: Faith!— 'tis a precious grace Lyrics: 1 Faith!— 'tis a precious grace, Where'er it is bestow'd! It boasts of a celestial birth, And is the gift of God! 2 Jesus it owns a King, An all atoning Priest, It claims no merit of its own, But looks for all in Christ. 3 To him it leads the soul, When fill'd with deep distress; Flies to the fountain of his blood, And trusts his righteousness. 4 Since 'tis thy work alone, And that divinely free; Lord, send the spirit of thy Son To work this faith in me.

My Body given for You

Author: Beddome Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CCCXXII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Beddome First Line: Jesus, when faith with fixed eyes Lyrics: 1 Jesus, when faith with fixed eyes Beholds thy wond'rous sacrifice, Love rises to an ardent flame, And we all other hope disclaim. 2 With cold affections who can see The thorns, the scourge, the nails, the tree, Thy flowing tears, and purple sweat, Thy bleeding hands, and head, and feet? 3 Look, saints, into his op'ning side, The breach how large, how deep, how wide! Thence issues forth a double flood, Of cleansing water, pard'ning blood. 4 Hence, O my soul, a balsam flows, To heal thy wounds and cure thy woes; Immortal joys come streaming down, Joys, like his griefs, immense, unknown. 5 Thus I could sit, and ever sing, The suff'rings of my heav'nly King; With glowing pleasure spread abroad The myst'ries of a dying God.

Increase of the Church

Author: Beddome Hymnal: PHSS1792 #LIX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Beddome First Line: Shout for the blessed Jesus reigns Lyrics: 1 Shout, for the blessed Jesus reigns, Thro' distant lands his triumphs spread: And sinners, freed from endless pains, Own him their Saviour and their head. 2 His sons and daughters from afar, Daily at Zion's gates arrive; Those who were dead in sin before, By sov'reign grace are made alive. 3 Oppressors bow beneath his feet, O'ercome by his victorious pow'r; Princes in humble posture wait, And proud blasphemers learn t' adore. 4 Gentiles and Jews his laws obey, Nations remote their offerings bring, And, unconstrain'd, their homage pay To their exalted Lord and King. 5 O may his conquests still increase, And ev'ry foe his power subdue; While Angels celebrate his praise, And saints his growing glories shew. 6 Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb, From all below and all above; In lofty songs exalt his name, In songs as lasting as his love.

He wept, he bled, he died for you; What more, ye saints, could Jesus do? 2 Enthron'd above, with equal glow His warm affections downward flow; In our distress he bears a part, And feels a sympathetic smart. 3 Still his compassions are the same, He knows the frailty of our frame; Our heaviest burdens he sustains, Shares in our sorrows, and our pains.

The First Promise of God

Author: Beddome Hymnal: PHSS1792 #XXI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Beddome First Line: When by the tempter's wiles betrayed Lyrics: 1 When, by the tempter's wiles betray'd, Adam our head and parent fell; Unknown before, a pleasure spread Thro' all the mazy deeps of hell. 2 Infernal powers rejoic'd to see The new-made world destroy'd, undone; But God proclaims his great decree, Pardon and mercy thro' his Son. 3 Serpent, accurs'd, thy sentence read, Almighty vengeance thou shalt feel; The woman's seed shall crush thy head, Thy malice faintly bruise his heel. 4 Thus God declares, and Christ descends, Assumes a mortal form, and dies; Whilst in his death, death's empire ends, And the proud conqueror conquer'd lies. 5 Dying, the King of glory deals Ruin to all his numerous foes: His power the daring tempter feels, And sinks oppress'd beneath his woes.

Priest, High Priest

Author: Cennick Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CCXXXV (1792) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Cennick First Line: A good High Priest is come Lyrics: 1 A good High Priest is come, Supplying Aaron's place, And taking up his room, Dispensing life and grace: The law by Aaron's priesthood came, But grace and truth by Jesus' name. 2 My Lord a priest is made, As sware the mighty God, To Israel and his seed; Ordain'd to offer blood, For sinners who his mercy seek, A priest, as was Melchizedek. 3 He once temptations knew, Of ev'ry sort and kind, That he might succour shew, To ev'ry tempted mind: In ev'ry point, the Lamb was tried Like us, and then for us, he died. 4 He dies, but lives again, And by the altar stands; There shews how he was slain, Op'ning His pierced hands. Our Priest abides, and pleads the cause Of us, who have transgress'd his laws. 5 I other Priests disclaim, And laws and off'rings too, None but the bleeding Lamb The mighty work can do; He shall have all the praise, for he Hath lov'd, and liv'd, and di'd for me.

The Ceremonial Law points to Christ

Author: Cowper Hymnal: PHSS1792 #X (1792) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Cowper First Line: Israel in ancient days Lyrics: 1 Israel in ancient days, Not only had a view Of Sinai in a blaze, But learn'd the gospel too: The types and figures were a glass, In which they saw the Saviour's face. 2 The Paschal sacrifice And blood-besprinkled door, Seen with enlighten'd eyes, And once apply'd with pow'r, Would teach the need of other blood, To reconcile an angry God. 3 The lamb, the dove, set forth His perfect innocence, Whose blood of matchless worth, Should be the soul's defence; For he who can for sin atone, Must have no failings of his own. 4 The scape-goat on his head The people's trespass bore, And to the desert led, Was to be seen no more: In him our surety seem'd to say, "Behold I bear your sins away." 5 Dipt in his fellow's blood, The living bird went free; The type well understood, Express'd the sinners plea; Describ'd a guilty soul enlarg'd, And by a Saviour's death discharg'd. 6 Jesus, I love to trace Throughout the sacred page; The footsteps of thy grace, The same in ev'ry age! O grant that I may faithful be To clearer light, vouchsaf'd to me.
