True God and man, in person one; 1 B HYMN 13. Second Part. L. M. God the Son equal with the Father. RIGHT King of glory, dreadful God! Our spirits bow before thy feet; To thee we lift an humble thought, And worship at thine awful seat. 2 A thousand seraphs, strong and bright, Stand round the glorious Deity; But who, among the sons of light, Pretends comparison with thee? 3 Yet there is one of human frame, Jesus, array'd in flesh and blood, Thinks it no robbery, to claim A full equality with God. 4 Their glory shines with equal beams; Their essence is for ever one; Distinct in persons, and in names; The Father God, and God the Son. 5 Then let the name of Christ our King With equal honours be ador'd; 1 His praise let ev'ry angel sing, And all the nations own the Lord. HYMN 13. Third Part. L. M. Adoption. ESUS, we bless thy Father's name; 2 What heav'nly blessings from his throne Flow down to sinners thro' his Son! “ Christ is my first elect," he said, Then chose our souls in Christ our head; Before he gave the mountains birth, Or laid foundations for the earth. 3 Thus did eternal love begin To raise us up from death and sin; Persons and characters decreed, Blameless in love, a holy seed. 4 Predestinated to be sons; Born by degrees, but chose at once: To praise the glory of his grace. 5 With Christ our Lord, we share our part In the affections of his heart; Nor shall our souls be thence remov'd 1 HYMN 13. Fourth Part. S. M. B On sinners of a mortal race To call them sons of God! 2 'Tis no surprising thing, That we should be unknown; 3 Nor doth it yet appear How great we must be made; But when we see our Saviour there, 4 A hope so much divine May trials well endure; May purge our souls from sense and sin, I share a filial part, Send down thy Spirit, like a dove, 6 We would no longer lie, Like slaves, beneath the throne; Our faith shall Abba, Father, cry, And thou the kindred own. Jesus is our Lord and Master. (OME, ye that love the Saviour's name, The Sov'reign of your hearts proclaim, 2 Behold your Lord, your Master crown'd And tell the wond'ring nations round, 3 Infinite pow'r, and boundless grace, You, that have e'er beheld his face, 4 When in his earthly courts we view 5 And shall we long and wish in vain? Thy love can animate the strain, 6 O happy period! glorious day! When heav'n and earth shall raise, With all their pow'rs, th' enraptur'd lay, To celebrate thy praise. HYMN 14. First Part. P. M. The eternal Son of God took upon him the very nature 1 of man. OD with us! O glorious name! Go Let it shine in endless fame: Took our soul, our flesh, and bone: Bear the guilt, the curse, the pain. 1 T HYMN 14. Second Part. The birth of Christ. L. M. O us a child is born from heav'n; The Counsellor of truth and grace, Who leads in paths of righteousness. 3 The mighty God, that glorious name, His works and word join to proclaim: The Everlasting Father, He And the whole church his family. 4 The Prince of Peace, on David's throne: And nations, yet unborn, shall own His sov'reign and his gracious sway; Glad of the honour to obey. 5 Justice and Judgment he'll maintain→ To everlasting ages reign; And his blest empire shall increase, Till time, with all its movements, cease. 6 Our faith in grateful triumph boasts. These wonders of the Lord of Hosts: And trusts the love, that form'd the plan, To perfect what that love began. 1 HYMN 14. Third Part. S. M. YE E saints, proclaim abroad 2 Not angels, round the throne `Are half so much oblig'd as we, 3 They never sunk so low, They are not rais'd so high; They never knew such depths of woe, |
