The Ceremonial Law

Author: Cowper Hymnal: SHBA1792 #LIII (1792) First Line: Israel in ancient days Lyrics: 1 Israel in ancient days, Not only had a view Of Sinai in a blaze, But learn'd the gospel too: The types and figures were a glass, In which they saw the Savior's face. 2 The Paschal sacrifice And blood-besprinkled door, Seen with enlighten'd eyes, And once apply'd with power, Would teach the need of other blood, To reconcile an angry God. 3 The Lamb, the Dove, set forth His perfect innocence, Whose blood of matchless worth, Should be the souls defence; For he who can for sin atone, Must have no failings of his own. 4 The Scape-goat on his head The people's trespass bore, And to the desert led, Was to be seen no more: In him our surety seem'd to say, "Behold I bear your sins away." 5 Dipt in his fellow's blood, The living bird went free; The type well understood, Express'd the sinners plea; Describ'd a guilty soul enlarg'd, And by a Savior's death discharg'd. 6 Jesus, I love to trace Throughout the sacred page, The footsteps of thy grace, The same in ev'ry age! O grant that I may faithful be To clearer light, vouchsaf'd to me.

Not ashamed of Christ

Author: Gregg; B. Francis Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CDLI (1792) First Line: Jesus, and shall it ever be Lyrics: 1 Jesus! and shall it ever be A mortal man asham'd of thee! Asham'd of thee whom angels praise, Whose glory shines thro' endless days! 2 Asham'd of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star; He sheds the beams of light divine, O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 Asham'd of Jesus! just as soon Let midnight be asham'd of noon; 'Tis midnight with my soul till he, Bright morning-star bid darkness flee. 4 Asham'd of Jesus! that dear friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend! No; when I blush—be this my shame, That I no more revere his name. 5 Asham'd of Jesus! Yes, I may, When I've no guilt to wash away, No tears to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. 6 'Til then—nor is my boasting vain— Till then, I boast my Savior slain! And O, may this my glory be, That Christ is not asham'd of me! 7 [His institutions would I prize, Take up the cross my shame despise; Dare to defend his noble cause, And yield obedience to his laws.] Topics: Baptism; Shame, on account of Christ, abhorred Languages: English

The Christian's spiritual Voyage

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCCIV (1792) First Line: Jesus, at thy command Lyrics: 1 Jesus, at thy command, I launch into the deep; And leave my native land, Where sin lulls all asleep; For thee I would the world resign, And sail to Heav'n with thee and thine. 2 Thou art my pilot wise, My compass is thy word; My soul each storm defies, While I have such a Lord! I trust thy faithfulness and power, To save me in the trying hour. 3 Tho' rocks and quicksands deep Thro' all my passage lie; Yet Christ will safely keep, And guide me with his eye: My anchor hope shall firm abide, And every boisterous storm outride. 4 By faith, I see the land, The port of endless rest: My soul, thy sails expand, And fly to Jesus's breast! O may I gain the heavenly shore, Where winds and waves distress no more! 5 Where'er becalm'd I lie, And storms forbear to toss; Be thou, dear Lord, still nigh Lest I should suffer loss: For more the treacherous claim I dread, Than tempests bursting o'er my head. 5 Come, Holy Ghost, and blow A prosperous gale of grace, Waft me from all below, To Heaven my destin'd place! Then, in full sail, my port, I'll find, And leave the world and sin behind. Topics: The Christian; Christian On his spiritual voyage; The spiritual Mariner; The spiritual voyage Languages: English

Messenger of the covenant

Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CLXXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Jesus, commission'd from above Lyrics: 1 Jesus, commission'd from above, Descends to men below, And shews from whence the springs of love, In endless currents flow. 2 He, whom the boundless heaven adores, Whom angels long to see; Quitted with joy those blissful shores, Ambassador to me! 3 To me a worm, a sinful clod, A rebel all forlorn; A foe, a traitor to my God, And, of a traitor born; 4 To me, who never sought his grace, Who mock'd his sacred word; Who never knew, or lov'd his face, And all his will abhor'd! 5 To me, who could not even praise, When his kind heart I knew; But sought a thousand devious ways, Rather than keep the true. 6 Yet this redeeming angel came, So vile a worm to bless; He took, with gladness, all my blame, And gave his righteousness. 7 O! that my languid heart might glow, With ardour all divine; And for more love than seraphs knew, Like burning seraphs shine.

Author: D. Turner Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCXCV (1792) First Line: Jesus, full of all compassion Lyrics: 1 Jesus, full of all compassion, Hear thy humble suppliant’s cry, Let me know thy great salvation, See! I languish, faint, and die. 2 Guilty, but with heart relenting, Overwhelm'd with helpless grief, Prostrate at thy feet repenting, Send, O send me quick relief! 3 Whither should a wretch be flying, But to him who comfort gives? Whither, from the dread of dying, But to him who ever lives? 4 While I view thee, wounded grieving, Breathless on the cursèd tree, Fain I’d feel my heart believing That thou sufferedst thus for me. 5 With thy righteousness and spirit, I am more than angels blest; Heir with thee all things inherit, Peace, and joy, and endless rest. 6 Without thee, the world possessing, I should be a wretch undone; Search thro' Heaven, the land of blessing, Seeking good, and finding none. 7 Hear then, blessed Savior, hear me, My soul cleaveth to the dust; Send the Comforter to cheer me, Lo! in thee I put my trust. 8 On the word thy blood hath sealed, Hangs my everlasting All; Let thine arm be now revealed, Stay, O stay me, lest I fall! 9 In the world of endless ruin Let it never, Lord, be said, "Here's a soul that perish'd, suing "For the boasted Saviour's aid!" 10 Sav'd—the deed shall spread new glory Thro' the shining realms above; Angels sing the pleasing story, All enraptur'd with thy love!

Jesus - precious to them that believe

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CLXXIII (1792) First Line: Jesus, I love thy charming name Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I love thy charming name, 'Tis music to my ear; Fain would I sound it out so loud That earth and Heaven might hear. 2 Yes thou art precious to my soul, My transport and my trust, Jewels to thee are gaudy toys, And gold is sordid dust. 3 All my capacious powers can wish In thee doth richly meet; Not to my eyes is light so dear, Nor friendship half so sweet. 4 Thy grace shall dwell upon my heart, And shed its fragrance there; The noblest balm of all its wounds, The cordial of its care. 5 I'll speak the honors of thy name, With my last laboring breath; And dying, clasp thee in my arms, The antidote of death.
