Not to condemn the sons of men

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 142 hymnals Topics: Glorification and condescension of Christ Lyrics: Not to condemn the sons of men, Did Christ, the Son of God, appear; No weapons in his hands are seen, No flaming sword nor thunder there. Such was the pity of our God, He loved the race of man so well, He sent his Son to bear our load Of sins, and save our souls from hell. Sinners, believe the Savior's word, Trust in his mighty name and live; A thousand joys his lips afford, His hands a thousand blessings give. But vengeance and damnation lies On rebels who refuse the grace; Who God's eternal Son despise, The hottest hell shall be their place. Scripture: John 3:16-18

Psalm 8 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Glorification and condescension of Christ First Line: Almighty Ruler of the skies Lyrics: Almighty Ruler of the skies, Through the wide earth thy name is spread; And thine eternal glories rise O'er all the heav'ns thy hands have made. To thee the voices of the young A monument of honor raise; And babes, with uninstructed tongue, Declare the wonders of thy praise. Thy power assists their tender age To bring proud rebels to the ground, To still the bold blasphemer's rage, And all their policies confound. Children amidst thy temple throng To see their great Redeemer's face; The Son of David is their song, And young hosannas fill the place. The frowning scribes and angry priests In vain their impious cavils bring; Revenge sits silent in their breasts, While Jewish babes proclaim their King. Scripture: Psalm 8:1-2
