Begotten again unto a lively Hope

Author: Watts Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLXXV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Romans 8:24-25 First Line: Bless'd be the everlasting God Lyrics: 1 Bless'd be the everlasting God, The Father of our Lord: Be his abounding mercy prais'd, His majesty ador'd. 2 When from the dead he rais'd his Son, And call'd him to the sky, He gave our souls a lively hope That they should never die. 3 What tho' our inbred sins require Our flesh to see the dust, Yet as the Lord our Saviour rose, So all his foll'wers must. 4 There's an inheritance divine Reserv'd against that day; 'Tis uncorrupted, undefil'd, And cannot waste away. 5 Saints by the pow'r of God are kept 'Till the salvation come: We walk by faith, as strangers here, 'Till Christ shall call us home.

Redemption by Christ alone

Author: Steele Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Romans 8:22-23 First Line: Enslav'd by sin and bound in chains Lyrics: 1 Enslav'd by sin and bound in chains, Beneath its dreadful tyrant sway, And doom'd to everlasting pains We wretched, guilty captives lay. 2 Nor gold nor gems could buy our peace; Nor all the world's collected store Suffice to purchase our release; A thousand worlds were all too poor. 3 Jesus the Lord, the mighty God, An all sufficient ransom paid; Invalu'd price! His precious blood For vile rebellious traitors shed. 4 Jesus the sacrifice became, To rescue guilty souls from hell; The spotless, bleeding, dying Lamb Beneath avenging justice fell. 5 Amazing goodness! love divine! O may our grateful hearts adore The matchless grace, nor yield to sin, Nor wear its cruel fetters more! 6 Dear Saviour, let thy love pursue, The glorious work it has begun, Each secret lurking foe subdue, And let our hearts be thine alone.

Christ, ever Liveth to make Intercession

Author: Steele Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CLXXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Romans 8:27 First Line: He lives, the great Redeemer lives Lyrics: 1 He lives, the great Redeemer lives, (What joy the blest assurance gives!) And now before his Father God, Pleads the full merits of his blood. 2 Repeated crimes awake our fears, And justice arm'd with frowns appears; But in the Saviour's lovely face Sweet mercy smiles, and all is peace. 3 Hence then, ye black despairing thoughts, Above our fears, above our faults, His powerful intercessions rise, And guilt recedes, and terror dies. 4 In every dark distressful hour, When sin and Satan join their pow'r; Let this dear hope repel the dart, That Jesus bears us on his heart. 5 Great Advocate, Almighty Friend— On him our humble hopes depend: Our cause can never, never fail, For Jesus pleads, and must prevail.

Conviction of sin by the law

Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books #I.CXV (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Romans 8:24 First Line: Lord, how secure my conscience was Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my conscience was, And felt no inward dread! I was alive without the law, And thought my sins were dead. 2 My hopes of heav'n were firm and bright; But since the precept came With a convincing pow'r and light, I find how vile I am. 3 My guilt appear'd but small before, Till terribly I saw How perfect, holy, just, and pure, Was thy eternal law. 4 Then felt my soul the heavy load, My sins reviv'd again; I had provok'd a dreadful God, And all my hopes were slain. 5 I'm like a helpless captive sold Under the pow'r of sin; I cannot do the good I would, Nor keep my conscience clean. 6 My God, I cry with ev'ry breath, For some kind pow'r to save, To break the yoke of sin and death, And thus redeem the slave.

The christian suff'rings here below

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CV (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Romans 8:18-23 Lyrics: 1 The christian suff'rings here below, Do not deserve to be compar'd! Unto the joys God will bestow, To those who trust unto his word. 2 On this sure promise they may build! They never need to doubt or fear-- Such glories are in them reveal'd, Which will repay their suff'rings here. 3 Happy will be the time indeed, For which the whole creation wait; When ev'ry creature shall be freed From their oppress'd and mournful state. 4 In Adam's fall the whole was made, Subject to vanity and sin-- the curse on all the earth was laid, And all that is contain'd therein. 5 All creatures may be said to groan, And travel in distress and pain; All living creatures, Sun and Moon, They feel the curse of guilt and stain. 6 But when the blessed sons of God In all their glory come to view; When heav'n and earth shall be renew'd, All creatures are redeemed too.

May healing and repentance in every land be known, as sword is turned to plowshare and seeds of trust are sown. 2 The cries of desperation, the orphan in distress, instill in us a longing that words cannot express. Yet, as the Spirit's presence within each heart is stirred, we find new strength and courage in God's unfailing Word. 3 The prophet voices call us to seek that promised day when hatred and oppression at last are swept away. No darkness will surround us; in light we dwell secure. God's purpose is accomplished when peace and love endure.
