The World's Three chief Temptations

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XLIX (1785) 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.

Grace and Glory by the Death of Christ

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.LXI (1785) First Line: While sitting round our Father's board Lyrics: 1 While sitting round our father's board, We raise our tuneful breath; Our faith beholds her dying Lord, And dooms our sins to death. 2 We see the blood of Jesus shed, Whence all our pardons rise; The sinner views th' atonement made, And loves the sacrifice. 3 Thy cruel thorns, thy shameful cross; Procure us heavenly crowns: Our gain arises from thy loss; Our healing, from thy wounds. 4 Not all the race of mortals here, Who dwell in feeble clay, For thee can equal sufferings bear Or equal thanks repay.

The triumph of Faith

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.VI (1785) First Line: Who shall the Lord's elect condemn Lyrics: 1 Who shall the Lord's elect condemn, 'Tis God who justifies their souls, And mercy, like a mighty stream, O'er all their sins divinely rolls. 2 Who shall adjudge the saints to hell? 'Tis Christ who suffer'd in their stead; And, the salvation to fulfil, Behold him rising from the dead. 3 He lives! 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? He who hath lov'd us bears us through, And makes us more than conqu'rors too. 5 Faith has an overcoming power, It triumphs in the dying hour: Christ is our life, our joy, our hope, Nor can we sink with such a prop. 6 Not all that men on earth can do, Nor powers on high, nor powers below, Shall cause his mercy to remove, Or wean our hearts from Christ our love. Scripture: Romans 8:33 Languages: English

The Death and Burial of a Saint

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXXI (1785) First Line: Why should we mourn departing friends Lyrics: 1 Why should we mourn departing friends? Or shake at death’s alarms? ’Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to his arms. 2 Are we not tending upward too As fast as time can move? Nor would we wish the hours more slow To keep us from our Love. 3 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, And left a long perfume. 4 The graves of all His saints he blest, And softened every bed: Where should the dying members rest, But with the dying head? 5 Thence he arose, ascending high, And shew'd our feet the way: Up to the Lord our souls shall fly, And hail the rising day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise; Awake, ye nations, from the ground, Ye saints, ascend the skies.

Hell; or, Vengeance of God

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXXIX (1785) First Line: With holy fear, and humble song Lyrics: 1 With holy fear, and humble song, The dreadful God our souls adore; Reverence and awe become the tongue That speaks the terrors of his power. 2 Far, in the deep, where darkness dwells, The land of horror and despair, Justice has built a dismal hell, And laid her stores of vengeance there. 3 There satan the first sinner, lies; And roars, and bites his iron bands; In vain the rebel strives to rise, Crush'd with the weight of heavenly hands. 4 There guilty ghosts, of Adam's race, Shriek out, and howl beneath thy rod; Once they could scorn a Saviour's grace, And so incens'd a dreadful God. 5 Tremble, my soul, and kiss the Son — Sinner, obey the Saviour's call; Else your damnation hastens on, And opening hell awaits your fall.

Christ's Compassion to the Weak and Tempted

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXIV (1785) First Line: With joy we meditate the grace Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace Of our High Priest above; His heart is made of tenderness, His bowels melt with love. 2 Touch'd with a sympathy within, He knows our feeble frame; He knows what sore temptations mean, For he has felt the same. 3 But spotless, innocent, and pure, The great Redeemer stood; While satan's firey darts he bore, And did resist to blood 4 He, in the days of feeble flesh, Pour'd out his cries and tears; And, in his measure, feels afresh What every member bears. 5 Then let our humble faith address His mercy and his power; We shall obtain delivering grace In the distressing hour. Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 Languages: English

Youth and Judgement

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XII (1785) First Line: Ye sons of Adam, vain and young Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of Adam, vain and young, Indulge your eyes, indulge your tongue; Taste the delights your souls desire, And give a loose to all your fire. 2 Pursue the pleasures you design, And cheer your hearts with songs and wine; Enjoy the day of mirth — but know There is a day of judegment too! 3 God, from on high, records your thoughts, His book records your secret faults; The works of darkness you have done, Must rise unveil'd before his throne. 4 The vengeance, to your follies due, Should strike your hearts with terror through; How will ye stand before his face, Or answer for his injur'd grace? 5 Almighty God, turn off their eyes From works of vanity and lies; And let the thunder of thy word Awake their souls to fear the Lord. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11 Languages: English

The different Success of the Gospel

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXII (1785) First Line: Christ and his cross are all our theme Lyrics: 1 Christ and his cross are all our theme; The myst'ries that we speak, Are scandal in the Jews esteem, And folly to the Greek: 2 But souls, enlightened from above, With joy receive the word; They see what wisdom, power, and love, Shine in their dying Lord. 3 The vital savor of his name Restores their fainting breath; But unbelief perverts the same To guilt, despair, and death. 4 'Till God diffuse his graces down, Like showers of heavenly rain, In vain Apollos sows the ground, And Paul may plant in vain. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:23-24 Languages: English

The Way and End of the Righteous and the Wicked

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #Ia (1785) First Line: Blest is the man who shuns the place Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man who shuns the place, Where sinners love to meet; Who fears to tread their wicked ways, And hates the scoffer’s seat. 2 But in the statutes of the Lord, Has plac'd his chief delight; By day he reads or hears the word, And meditates by night. 3 [He like a plant of generous kind, By living waters set, Safe from the storms and blasting wind, Enjoys a peaceful state.] 4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair Shall his Profession shine; While fruits of holiness appear Like clusters on the vine. 5 Not so the impious and unjust; What vain designs they form! Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm. 6 Sinners in judgement shall not stand Among the sons of grace, When Christ the judge at his right-hand Appoints his saints a place. 7 His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well; But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English

The Saint happy, the Sinner miserable

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #Ib (1785) First Line: The man is ever blest Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest, Who shuns the sinners' ways, Among their councils never stands, Nor takes the scorner's place: 2 But makes the law of GOD His study and delight, Amidst the labours of the day, And watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf his name shall live, His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so th' ungoldy race, They no such blessings find: Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before that judgement seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right-hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and he approves The ways the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English
