Justice and equity
Author: Dr. Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Justice; Duty to God And our neighbor; Justice and equity to our neighbour First Line: Blessed redeemer how divine Lyrics: 1 Blessed redeemer how divine,
How righteous is this rule of thine,
"Never to deal with others worse
"Than we would have them deal with us!"
2 This golden lesson, short and plain,
Gives nor the mind nor memory pain:
And every conscience must approve
This universal law of love.
3 'Tis written in each mortal breast,
Where all our tenderest wishes rest:
We draw it from our inmost veins,
Where love to self resides and reigns.
4 Is reason ever at a loss?
Call in self-love to judge the cause:
Let our own fondest passions shew
How we should treat our neighbor too.
5 How bless'd would every nation prove,
Thus rul'd by equity and love!
All would be friends without a foe,
And form a paradise below.
6 Jesus, forgive us, that we keep
Thy sacred law of love asleep;
And take our envy, wrath, and pride,
Those savage passions, for our guide. Scripture: Matthew 7:12 Text Sources: Dr. Watts's Sermons

Humble trust or, despair prevented
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: Graces of the Spirit Trust; Despair Prevented; Satan repulsed; Trust in God under trials; Humble trust, or despair prevented First Line: Lord, didst thou die, but not for me? Lyrics: 1 Lord didst thou die, but not for me?
Am I forbid to trust thy blood?
Is not thy pardon rich and free,
Seal'd in the kind atoning flood?
2 Who then shall drive my trembling soul
From thee to regions of despair?
Who has survey'd the sacred roll,
And found my name not written there?
3 Presumptuous thought! to fix the bound,
To limit mercy's sovereign reign:
What other happy souls have found,
I'll seek, nor shall I seek in vain.
4 I own my guilt, my sins confess;
Can men or devils make them more?
Of Crimes already numberless,
Vain the attempt to swell the score.
5 Were the black list before my sight,
While I remember thou hast dy'd,
'Twould only urge my speedier flight,
To seek salvation at thy side.
6 Low at thy feet I'll cast me down,
To thee reveal my guilt and fear;
And—if thou spurn me from thy throne—
I'll be the first who perish'd there.
Humble trust or, despair prevented
Christ, found in Fashion as a Man
Author: Peacock Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Incarnation of Christ; or, God manifest in Flesh First Line: What condescending grace and love Lyrics: 1 What condescending grace and love
Did Christ for us display,
Who left the glorious worlds above,
To dwell in mortal clay!
2 He not th'angelic form assum'd,
Nor the celestial frame:
Tho' angels nobler natures boast,
And boast a nobler name.
3 Behold of Abrah'm's faithful seed
The great Redeemer born;
See him, in mortal flesh appear,
Our nature to adorn!
4 It well the Saviour's love became,
A human form to wear,
That he might thus our guilt atone,
And our transgressions bear.
5 Jesus our merciful high priest,
Inflam'd with love divine,
Redeem'd his people with his blood,
And did his life resign.
6 The pains, the agonies, he bore,
To our transgressions due;—
His arm in the distressing hour
His satins shall succour too.
7 Then to the throne of sov'reign grace,
Let us with joy draw near,
That we may gain a rich supply,
For all we want is there. Scripture: Philippians 2:6-7
Christ, found in Fashion as a Man
Whom have we, Lord, in heav'n, but thee
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: God the Portion of the Soul Lyrics: 1 Whom have we, Lord, in heav'n, but thee,
And whom on earth beside?
Where else for succor can we flee,
Or in whose strength confide?
2 Thou art our portion here below,
Our promised bliss above;
Ne'er may our souls an object know
So precious as thy love.
3 When heart and flesh, O Lord, shall fail,
Thou wilt our spirits cheer;
Support us through life's thorny vale,
And calm each anxious fear. Scripture: Psalm 11:1
Whom have we, Lord, in heav'n, but thee
Sing My Song Backwards
Author: Brian Wren Meter: Irregular Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: God's Church The Church at Worship: Proclamation of the Gospel First Line: Sing my song backwards from end to beginning Lyrics: 1 Sing my song backwards from end to beginning,
Friday to Monday, from dying to birth.
Nothing is altered, but hope changes everything:
sing "Resurrection!" and "Peace upon Earth!"
2 Whisper a hope through shame and the agony,
horror and emptiness, darker than night;
visit the wounds, and the failure of Calvary:
sing "Resurrection!" and bathe them in light.
3 Gather the bones and the sinews of memory –
healings and parables, laughter and strife,
joy with the outcasts and love for the enemy –
breathe "Resurrection!" and dance them to life!
4 Stretch out a rainbow from cross to nativity.
Deck out the stable with shepherds and kings,
angels and miracles, glory and poetry –
Sing my song backwards, till all the world sings! Used With Tune: HILARY

I see the morning breakin'
through the valleys and the hills
and I'm goin' home to Jesus,
bless my soul, bless my soul.
2 I feel the fresh wind blowin'
through the valleys and the hills.
I feel the fresh wind blowin'
as I go, as I go.
I feel the fresh wind blowin'
through the valleys and the hills.
and I'm goin' home to Jesus,
bless my soul, bless my soul.
3 I hear the people stirrin'
through the valleys and the hills.
I hear the people stirrin'
as I go, as I go.
I hear the people stirrin'
through the valleys and the hills.
and I'm goin' home to Jesus,
bless my soul, bless my soul.
