Moses and Christ; or, sin against the law and gospel

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXI (1785) First Line: The law by Moses came Lyrics: 1 The law by Moses came, But peace, and truth, and love, Were brought by Christ (a nobler name) Descending from above. 2 Amidst the house of God Their diff'rent works were done; Moses a faithful servant stood, But Christ — a faithful Son. – 3 Then to his new commands Be strict obedience paid; O'er all his Father's house he stands The sovereign and the head. 4 The man that durst despise The law that Moses brought, Behold! how terribly he dies For his presumptuous fault: 5 But sorer vengeance falls On that rebellious race, Who hate to hear when Jesus calls, And dare resist his grace. Scripture: John 1:17 Languages: English

The Memorial of our absent Lord

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LVII (1785) First Line: The Lord ascends above the skies Lyrics: 1 The Lord ascends above the skies, Where our weak senses reach him not; And carnal objects court our eyes, To thrust our Saviour from our thought. 2 He knows what wandering hearts we have, That lose the memory of his face; And, to refresh our minds, he gave These kind memorials of his grace. 3 The Lord of life this table spread With his own flesh and dying blood, We on the rich provision feed, And taste the wine, and bless our God. 4 Let sinful sweets be all forgot, And earth grow less in our esteem; Christ and his love fill every thought, And faith and hope be fix'd on him. 5 Whilst he is absent from our sight, 'Tis to prepare our souls a place; That we may dwell in heav'nly light, And live forever near his face. Scripture: John 16:16 Languages: English

God glorified in the Gospel

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LI (1785) First Line: The Lord descending from above Lyrics: 1 The Lord, descending from above, Invites his children near; While power and truth, and boundless love, Display their glories here. 2 Here in thy gospel's wondrous frame, Fresh wisdom we may view; A thousand angels learn thy name, Beyond whate'er they knew. 3 Thy name is writ in fairest lines, Thy wonders here we trace; Wisdom thro' all the mystery shines, And shines in Jesus' face. 4 The law its best obedience owes To our incarnate God; And thy revenging justice shows Its honours in his blood. 5 But still the lustre of thy grace Our warmer thoughts employs, Gilds the whole scene with brighter rays, And more exalts our joys.

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LX (1785) First Line: The memory of our dying Lord Lyrics: 1 The memory of our dying Lord Awakes a thankful tongue: How rich he spread his royal board, And bless'd the food, and sung. 2 Happy the men that eat this bread, But doubly bless'd was he That gently bow'd his loving head, And lean'd it, Lord, on thee. 3 By faith the same delights we taste As that great favorite did, And sit and lean on Jesus' breast, And take the sacred bread. 4 Down from the palace of the skies; The King of grace descends! "Come my beloved, eat, (he cries) "And drink salvation friends. 5 Hosannah to his bounteous love, For such a feast below! And yet he feeds his saints above With nobler blessings too. 6 Come the dear day, the glorious hour, That brings our souls to God, Then we shall need these types no more, But taste the heavenly food.

Election, sovereign and free

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XX (1785) First Line: The potter moulds the pliant clay Lyrics: 1 The potter moulds the pliant clay, And forms to various shapes with ease; Such is our God, and such are we, The subjects of his high decrees. 2 May not the sovereign Lord on high Dispense his favours as he will, Choose some to life, while others die, And yet be just and gracious still? 3 Shall man reply against the Lord, And call his Maker's ways unjust, The thunder of whose dreadful word Can crush a thousand worlds to dust? 4 But, O my soul, if truth so bright Should dazzle and confound thy sight, Yet still his written will obey And wait the great decisive day. 5 Then shall he make his justice known, And the whole world, before his throne, With joy or terror, shall confess His sovereign power and pardoning grace. Scripture: Romans 9:21 Languages: English

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XIX (1785) First Line: Thus saith the first, the great, command Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the first, the great, command, Let all thy inward powers unite To love thy Maker and thy God With vigour and delight. 2 Then shall thy neighbour, next in place, Thy warm affections prove; And be thy kindness to thyself The measure of thy love. 3 This Moses and the prophets spoke, And Jesus from above; For want of this the law is broke, And all the law is love. 4 But oh, how base our passions are! How cold our blinded zeal! Lord, fill our hearts with warm desires, To learn and do thy will. Scripture: Matthew 22 Languages: English

Shortness of Life and goodness of God

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XLI (1785) First Line: Time, what an empty vapor 'tis! Lyrics: 1 Time, what an empty vapor 'tis! And days, how swift they are! Swift as a feather'd arrow flies, Or like a shooting star. 2 Our life is ever on the wing, And death is ever nigh; The moment when our lives begin, We all begin to die. 3 Yet, mighty GOD! our fleeting days Thy lasting favours share; And still the bounties of thy grace Enrich the rolling year. 4 'Tis sovereign mercy finds us food, And we are cloth'd by love; While grace stands pointing out the road, That leads our souls above. 5 Thus we begin the lasting song; And when we close our eyes, Let the next age thy praise prolong, 'Till time and nature dies.

Justification by Faith, not by Works

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XIV (1785) First Line: Vain are the hopes, the sons of men Lyrics: 1 Vain are the hopes, the sons of men On their own works have built: Their hearts by nature all unclean, And all their actions guilt. 2 Let Jew and Gentile stop their mouths, Without a murmuring word, And the whole race of Adam stand In guilt before the Lord. 3 In vain, we ask GOD's righteous law To justify us now; Since — to convince, and to condemn — Is all the law can do. 4 Jesus, how glorious is thy grace, When in thy name we trust! Our faith receives a righteousness That makes the sinner just. Scripture: Romans 3:19-21 Languages: English
