Hymnal: Christian Hymns, Poems, and Spiritual Songs #I.XLIII (1776) Hymnal Title: Christian Hymns, Poems, and Spiritual Songs Lyrics: 1 What Beauties divine, In Jesus do shine! And yet all I see, I, with Boldness, call mine. 2 With him crucify'd, When Jesus he dy'd, My Nature was purg'd, and to God purify'd. 3 To me it is plain When Jesus was slain, Eternal Redemption he then did obtain. 4 From Bondage and Chains, From Sin and Hell-pains, Redemption of all in one Man he obtains. 5 Baptiz'd into him, Who did me redeem, His Person and Glories are my constant Theme. 6 For all of the Lamb I rightfully claim, To rest in his Fulness of Stature I aim. 7 The Father makes known What he hath bestown On Christ, and instructs me to call it my own.

James Relly

1722 - 1778 Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project Author of "What beauties divine" 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.
