Pharisee and Publican

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #H.XXVI (1785) First Line: Behold how sinners disagree Lyrics: 1 Behold how sinners disagree, The Publican and Pharisee! One doth his righteousness proclaim, The other owns his guilt and shame. 3 This man at humble distance stands, And cries for grace with lifted hands; That boldly rises near the throne, And talks of duties he has done. 3 The Lord their different language knows, And different answers he bestows; The humble soul, with grace he crowns, While on the proud his anger frowns. 4 Dear Father, let me never be Join'd with the boasting Pharisee; I have no merits of my own But plead the sufferings of thy Son. Scripture: Luke 23:10 Languages: English

Who but the Son shall take the book, And open every seal? 4 He shall accomplish thy decrees, And all thy wonders tell; Lo! in his sovereign hand, the keys Of heaven, and death, and hell. 5 He hath redeem'd our souls with blood, Hath broke their prisoners chain; Hath made us kings and priests with GOD, And we with him shall reign. 6 Now, to the Lamb, that once was slain, Be endless blessings paid; With saints and angels fill his train, And glories crown his head.

And heavenly peace on earth: Good will to men, to angels joy, At the Redeemer's birth! 6 In worship so divine, Let saints employ their tongues; With the celestial host we join, And loud repeat their songs. 7 Glory to God on high!

Our love so faint, so cold to thee, And thine to us so great? 5 Come, holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all thy quickening powers; Come, shed abroad a Saviour’s love And that shall kindle ours.
