The Excellencies of Christ

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Chief among ten thousand First Line: To Christ, the Lord, let every tongue Lyrics: 1 To Christ, the Lord, let every tongue Its nobles tribute bring: When he's the subject of the song, who can refuse to sing? 2 Survey the beauties of his face, And on his glories dwell; Think of the wonders of his grace, And all his triumphs tell. 3 Majestic sweetness sits enthron'd Upon his awful brow; His head with radiant glories crown'd, His lips with grace o'erflow. 4 No mortal can with him compare, Among the sons of men: Fairer he is than all the fair That fill the heavenly train. 5 He saw me plung'd in deep distress, He fled to my relief; For me he bore the shameful cross And carried all my grief. 6 His hand a thousand blessings pours Upon my guilty head: His presence gilds my darkest hours, And guards my sleeping bed. 7 To him I owe my life and breath, And all the joys I have; He makes me triumph over death, And saves me from the grave. 8 To heaven the place of his abode He brings my weary feet; Shews me the glories of my God, And makes my joys complete. 9 Since from his beauty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be thine.

High-Priest

Our priest abides, and pleads the cause Of us who have transgress'd his laws. 5 I other priests disclaim, And laws and offerings 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 dy'd for me.

Our Example

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Our Example First Line: And is the gospel peace and love? Lyrics: 1 And is the gospel, peace and love? Such let our conversation be: The serpent blended with the dove, Wisdom and meek simplicity. 2 Whene'er the angry passions rise, And tempt our thoughts or tongues to strife, To Jesus let us lift our eyes, Bright pattern of the Christian life! 3 O how benevolent and kind! How mild! how ready to forgive! Be this the temper of our mind, And these the rules by which we live. 4 To do his heavenly Father's will, Was his employment and delight; Humility and holy zeal Shone thro' his life divinely bright! 5 Dispensing good where'er he came, The labors of his life were love; O, if we love the Savior's name, Let his divine example move. 6 But ah how blind! how weak we are! How frail! how apt to turn aside! Lord, we depend upon thy care, And ask thy spirit for our guide. 7 Thy fair example may we trace, To teach us what we ought to be; Make us by thy transforming grace, Dear Savior, daily more like thee.
