From precept and demand
Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #168 (1808)
From precept and demand
Sonship secure in Christ
Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCXLIV (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: From precept and demand Lyrics: 1 From precept and demand,
Free from all sin and fear,
Our sonship shall in Jesus stand,
Without our toil or care.
2 None but the Son, so blest,
can God as Father own;
Until we are the Son confest,
The Father is unknown.
3 O the amazing grace
We have in Jesus seen!
The glory of the Father's face,
Without a veil between.
4 Now, perfected in God,
His richest grace we prove,
The way to which is Jesus' blood,
The proof supreme of love.

James Relly
1722 - 1778 Author of "From precept and demand" in Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs James Relly was born about 1722 at Jeffreston, Pembrokeshire, Wales, and died in 1778. He was converted to Christianity during the Great Awakening ushered in by George Whitefield. He worked under George Whitefield as a Calvinistic Methodist preacher and missionary. However, Whitefield and Relly separated ways over Relly's seemingly universalist teaching that all humanity was elect (i.e. saved) when Christ took the punishment for all sin when he died. He also departed from both the Calvinists and Methodists by taking the doctrine of Justification further, in teaching that believers no longer sin and the Law's sole purpose is to condemn humanity and point them to Christ.
He was the mentor of John Murray, the founder of the Universalist Church of America. Relly along with his brother John wrote Christian Hymns, Poems and Spiritual Songs in 1758, which John Murray had republished in America in 1776.
