A Song to the Lamb that was slain

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #I (1787) First Line: Behold the glories of the Lamb Lyrics: 1 Behold the glories of the Lamb Amidst his Father's throne; Prepare new honours for his name, And songs before unknown. 2 Let angels worship at his feet, And saints around him throng The church on earth with joy shall meet, And join the heavenly song. 3 Eternal Father, who shall look Thro' all thy secret will? Who but the Son shall take the book, And open every seal? 4 He shall accomplish thy decrees, And all thy wonders tell; Lo! in his sovereign hand, the keys Of heaven, and death, and hell. 5 He hath redeem'd our souls with blood, Hath broke their prisoners chain; Hath made us kings and priests with God, And we with him shall reign. 6 Now, to the Lamb, that once was slain, Be endless blessings paid; With saints and angels fill his train, And glories crown his head.

And heavenly peace on earth: Good will to men, to angels joy, At the Redeemer's birth! 6 In worship so divine, Let saints employ their tongues; With the celestial host we join, And loud repeat their songs. 7 Glory to God on high!

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #LIV (1787) First Line: Sin has a thousand treacherous arts Lyrics: 1 Sin has a thousand treacherous arts To practice on the mind; With flattering looks she tempts our hearts, But leaves a sting behind. 2 With names of virtue she deceives The aged and the young; And, while the heedless wretch believes, She makes his fetters strong. 3 She pleads for all the joy she brings, And gives a fair pretence; But cheats the soul of heavenly things, And chains it down to sense. 4 So, on a tree divinely fair Grew the forbidden food; Our mother took the poison there, And tainted all her blood.

Thy grace must all my work perform, And give the free reward. Languages: English

How rich, how various and how fair! 2 But oh, what poor returns I bring! What lifeless songs of praise I sing! Lord, I confess, with humble shame, My offerings scarce deserve the name. 3 Fain would my labouring heart devise Some nobler gift and sacrifice; It sinks beneath the mighty load That I should render to my God. 4 To him I consecrate my praise, And vow the remnant of my days; Enlarge my soul with grace divine, And make me worthier to be thine. 5 Give me at length an angel's tongue, To sound thro' heaven the grateful song; A theme so great my voice shall raise, And crown eternity with praise.

He lives! and sits above, Forever interceding there: Who shall divide us from his love, Or what shall tempt us to despair? 4 Shall persecution, or distress, Famine, or sword, or nakedness?

God the Thunderer; Or, the last Judgment, and Hell

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #XLII (1787) First Line: Sing to the Lord ye heavenly hosts Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord ye heavenly hosts, And let the earth, adore; Let death and hell, thro' all their coasts, Stand trembling at his power. 2 His sounding chariot shakes the sky, He makes the clouds his throne; There all his stores of lightning lie, 'Till vengeance darts them down. 3 Before him rolls a fiery stream — And from his awful tongue A sovereign voice divides the flame, And thunder roars along! 4 Think, O my soul, the dreadful day When this incensed God Shall rend the sky, and burn the sea, And fling his wrath abroad! 5 What shall the wretch, the sinner do? He once defy'd the Lord; But he shall dread the thunderer now, And sink beneath his word. 6 Tempests of angry fire shall roll To blast the rebel worm; And beat upon his naked soul In one eternal storm.

And are we still secure! Still walking downward to our tomb, And yet prepar'd no more! 4 Grant us the powers of quickening grace, To fit our souls to fly; Then, when we drop this dying flesh, We'll rise above the sky.

The World's Three chief Temptations

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #XLIX (1787) First Line: When, in the light of faith divine Lyrics: 1 When, in the light of faith divine, We look on things below, Honour, and gold, and sensual joy, How vain and dangerous too. 2 Honour's a puff of noisy breath; Yet men expose their blood, And venture everlasting death, To gain that airy good. 3 Whilst others starve the nobler mind, And feed on shining dust; They rob the serpent of his food, T' indulge a sordid lust. 4 The pleasures which allure the sense, Are dangerous snares to souls; There's but a drop of flattering sweet, And dash'd with bitter bowls. 5 God is mine all-sufficient good, My portion, and my choice; In him my vast desires are fill'd, And all my powers rejoice. 6 In vain the world accosts my ear, And tempts my heart anew; I cannot buy your bliss so dear, Nor part with heaven for you.

Look on him when they pierced, and mourn

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #XLVII (1787) First Line: Infinite grief, amazing woe Lyrics: 1 Infinite grief! amazing woe! Behold my bleeding Lord! Hell and the Jews conspire his death, And use the Roman sword. 2 Oh! the sharp pangs of smarting pain My dear Redeemer bore, When knotty whips, and ragged thorns, His sacred body tore! 3 But knotty whips, and ragged thorns, In vain do I accuse; In vain I blame the Roman bands, And more insulting Jews: 4 'Twere you, my sins, my cruel sins, His chief tormentors were; Each of my crimes became a nail; And unbelief — the spear. 5 'Twere you that pull'd the vengeance down Upon his guiltless head: Break, break, my heart — Oh, burst mine eyes, And let my sorrows bleed! 6 Strike, mighty grace, my flinty soul, Till melting waters flow; And deep repentance drown mine eyes In undissembled woe!

Regeneration

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #XV (1787) First Line: Not all the outward forms on earth Lyrics: 1 Not all the outward forms on earth, Nor rites that God has given, Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth, Can raise a soul to heaven. 2 The sovereign will of God, alone Creates us heirs of grace; Born in the image of his Son, A new peculiar race. 3 The spirit, like some heavenly wind, Blows on the sons of flesh; Creates anew the carnal mind, And forms the man afresh. 4 Our quickened souls awake — and rise From the long sleep of death; On heavenly things we fix our eyes, And praise employs our breath. Scripture: John 3:3-6 Languages: English

Conviction of sin by the law

Hymnal: DWIP1787 #XVIII (1787) First Line: Lord, how secure my conscience lay Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my conscience lay, And felt no inward dread; I liv'd awhile without the law, And thought my sins were dead. 2 My hopes of heaven were firm and bright, But since the precept came I stand convicted by its light, I find how vile I am. 3 I'm like a helpless captive sold, Beneath the power of sin; I cannot do the good I would, Nor keep my conscience clean. 4 My God, I'll cry with every breath, For some kind power to save, To break the yoke of sin and death, And thus redeem the slave.
