Adoption

Author: Cruttenden Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Adoption First Line: Let others boast their ancient line Lyrics: 1 Let others boast their ancient line In long succession great; In the proud list let heroes shine, And monarchs swell the state; Descended from the King of Kings, Each saint a nobler title sings. 2 Pronounce me, gracious God, thy son, Own me an heir divine; I'll pity princes on the throne, When I can call thee mine; Scepters and crowns unenvied rise, And lose their lustre in mine eyes. 3 Content, obscure I pass my days, To all I meet unknown, And wait till thou thy child shalt raise, And seat menear thy throne. No name, no honors here I crave, Well pleas'd with those beyond the grave. 4 Jesus, my elder brother, lives, With him I too shall reign; Nor sin, nor death, while he survives, Shall make the promise vain. In him my title stands secure, And shall, while endless years endure. 5 When he, in robes divinely bright, Shall once again appear, Thou, too my soul, shalt shine in light, And his full image bear. Enough!—I wait th' appointed day, Bless'd Savior, haste, and come away! Scripture: 1 John 3:1-3

Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Blessings temporal and spiritual God our Shepherd Lyrics: 1 The Lord is my shepherd, my guardian, and guide; Whatsoever I want, he will kindly provide; To the sheep of his pasture his mercies abound, His care and protection his flock will surround; If e'er from his fold they should wander abroad, His care will recall them, and fix their abode, Where himself, in the midst, with a provident eye, Will regard all their wants, and provide a supply. 2 The Lord is my shepherd, what then shall I fear? What danger can frighten me while he is near? Not when the time calls me to walk thro' the vale Of the shadow of death, shall my heart ever fail; Tho' afraid, of myself, to pursue the dark way, Thy rod and thy staff be my comfort and stay; For I know, by thy guidance, when once it is past, To a fountain of life it will bring me at last. 3 The Lord is become my salvation and song, His blessings shall follow me all my life long; Whatsoever condition he places me in, I am sure 'tis the best it could ever have been; For the Lord he is good, and his mercies are sure; He only afflicts us, in order to cure; The Lord will I praise while I have any breath, Be content all my life, and resign'd in my death.
