The Ceremonial Law points to Christ
Author: Cowper Meter: Irregular Appears in 84 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:17 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 Saviour's face.
2 The Paschal sacrifice
And blood-besprinkled door,
Seen with enlighten'd eyes,
And once apply'd with pow'r,
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 soul's 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 Saviour'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. Topics: The Scriptures, Legal, Prophetic, and Evangelical, collectively testify of the Savior
The Ceremonial Law points to Christ
Never separated
Author: Richard Massie Appears in 79 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:10 First Line: I know no life divided Lyrics: 1 I know no life divided,
O Lord of life, from thee;
In thee is life provided
For all mankind and me:
I know no death, O Jesus,
Because I live in thee;
Thy death it is that frees us
From death eternally.
2 I fear no tribulation,
Since whatsoe'er it be,
It makes no separation
Between my Lord and me.
If thou, my God and Teacher,
Vouchsafe to be my own,
Though poor, I shall be richer
Than monarch on his throne.
3 If, while on earth I wander,
My heart is right and blest,
Ah, what shall I be yonder,
In perfect peace and rest?
Oh, blessed thought! in dying
We go to meet the Lord,
Where there shall be no sighing,
A kingdom our reward.

Fountain of grace, rich, full, and free
Author: James Edmeston Appears in 76 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:10 Used With Tune: BACA
Fountain of grace, rich, full, and free
Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 59 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:9-15 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle;
of the mighty conflict sing:
tell the triumph of the victim,
to his cross your tribute bring.
Jesus Christ, the world's Redeemer,
from that cross now reigns as King.
2 When at length the appointed fullness
of the sacred time was come,
he was sent, the world's Creator,
from the Father's heavenly home
and was found in human fashion
offspring of the Virgin's womb.
3 When the thirty years were ended
which on earth he willed to see,
willingly he meets his passion,
born to set his people free;
on the cross the Lamb is lifted,
there the sacrifice to be.
4 There the nails and spear he suffers,
vinegar and gall and reed;
from his sacred body pierced
blood and water both proceed:
precious flood, which all creation
from the stain of sin has freed.
5 Faithful cross, above all other,
one and only noble tree,
none in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit your peer may be;
sweet the wood and sweet the iron,
and your load, most sweet is he.
6 Praise and honour to the Father,
praise and honour to the Son,
praise and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three and ever One:
One in might and One in glory
while eternal ages run.

Hope of the World
Author: Georgia Harkness, 1891-1974 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:13-15 First Line: Hope of the world, Thou Christ of great compassion Lyrics: 1 Hope of the world, Thou Christ of great compassion;
Speak to our fearful hearts by conflict rent.
Save us, Thy people, from consuming passion,
Who by our own false hopes and aims are spent.
2 Hope of the world, God's gift from highest heaven,
Bringing to hungry souls the bread of life.
Still let thy Spirit unto us be given
To heal earth's wounds and end our bitter strife.
3 Hope of the world, afoot on dusty highways,
Showing to wand'ring souls the path of light,
Walk Thou beside us lest the tempting byways
Lure us away from Thee to endless night.
4 Hope of the world, who by Thy cross didst save us
From death and dark despair, from sin and guilt,
We render back the love Thy mercy gave us;
Take Thou our lives and use them as Thou wilt.
5 Hope of the world, O Christ, o'er death victorious,
Who by this sign did conquer grief and pain,
We would be faithful to Thy Gospel glorious.
Thou art our Lord! Thou dost forever reign!

Subdued the powers of hell;
Like lightning from his throne
The prince of darkness fell;
The triumphs of the cross we sing;
Awake, ye saints, each joyful string.

From all the foes that rise;
The cross hath made the grave
A passage to the skies;
The triumphs of the cross we sing;
Awake, ye saints, each joyful string. Topics: Access to God; Atonement Provided; Cross of Christ Glorying in Used With Tune: LENOX

Author: Henry H. Tweedy Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 53 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:9 First Line: Eternal God, whose pow'r upholds Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, whose power upholds
Both flow'r and flaming star,
To whom there is no here nor there,
No time, no near nor far,
No alien race, no foreign shore,
No child unsought, unknown,
O send us forth as prophets true,
To make all lands Thine own!
2 O God of truth, whom science seeks
And rev'rent souls adore,
Who lightest every earnest mind
Of every clime and shore,
Dispel the gloom of error’s night,
Of ignorance and fear,
Until true wisdom from above
Shall make life’s pathway clear!
3 O God of beauty, oft revealed
In dreams of human art,
In speech that flows to melody,
In holiness of heart,
Teach us to ban all ugliness
That blinds our hearts to Thee,
Till all shall know the loveliness
Of lives made fair and free.
4 O God of righteousness and grace,
Seen in the Christ, Thy Son,
Whose life and death reveal Thy face,
By whom Thy will was done,
Inspire Thy heralds of good news
To live Thy life divine,
Till Christ has formed in all mankind
And every land is Thine!

"Complete in Him"
Author: Mrs. G. W. Hinsdale Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:10 First Line: My soul complete in Jesus stands! Lyrics: 1 My soul complete in Jesus stands!
It fears no more the law's demands;
The smile of God is sweet within,
Where all before was guilt and sin.
2 My soul at rest in Jesus lives;
Accepts the peace his pardon gives;
Receives the grace his death secured,
And pleads the anguish he endured.
3 My soul its every foe defies,
And cries--'Tis God that justifies!
Who charges God's elect with sin?
Shall Christ, who died their peace to win?
4 A song of praise my soul shall sing,
To our eternal, glorious King!
Shall worship humbly at his feet,
In whom alone it stands complete. Topics: Assurance Expressed; Christ Humanity of; Christ Surety; Christians Privileges; Comfort; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table; Completeness Used With Tune: PARK STREET
