Vain are the Hopes the Sons of Men
Hymnal: ACNH1754 #LI (1760) Lyrics: 1 Vain are the Hopes the Sons of Men
on their own Works have built;
Their Hearts by Mature all unclean,
and all their Actions Guilt.
2 Let Jew and Gentile stop their Mouths
without a murm'ring word,
And the whole Race of Adam stand
guilty before the Lord.
3 In vain we ask God's righteous Law
to justify us now;
Since to convince and to condemn
is all the Law can do.
4 Jesus, how glorious is thy Grace.
when in thy Name we trust!
Our Faith receives a Righteousness
that makes the Sinner just.
Scripture: Romans 3:19-22 Languages: English
Vain are the Hopes the Sons of Men
Not to condemn the Sons of Men
Hymnal: ACNH1754 #LII (1760) Lyrics: 1 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.
2 Such was the Pity of our God,
He lov'd the Race of Man so well,
He sent his Son to bear our Load
Of sins, and save our Souls from Hell.
3 Sinners, believe the Saviour's Word,
Trust in his mighty Name and live;
A thousand Joys his Lips afford,
His Hands a thousand Blessings give.
4 But Vengeance and Damnation lyes
On Rebels who refuse the Grace;
Who God's eternal Son despise,
The hottest Hell shall be their Place. Scripture: John 3:16-18 Languages: English
Not to condemn the Sons of Men
Nor Eye hath seen, nor Ear has heard
Hymnal: ACNH1754 #LIII (1760) Lyrics: 1 Nor Eye has seen, nor Ear has heard,
nor Sense nor Reason known,
What Joys the Father hath prepar'd
for those that love the Son.
2 But the good Spirit of the Lord
reveals a Heav'n to come:
The Beams of Glory in his Word
allure and guide us home.
3 Pure are the Joys above the Sky,
and all the Region Peace;
No wanton Lips nor envious Eye
can see or taste the Bliss.
4 Those holy Gates for ever bar
Pollution, Sin, and Shame;
None shall obtain Admittance there,
but Foll'wers of the Lamb.
5 He keeps the Father's Book of Life,
there all their Names are found;
The Hypocrite in vain shall strive
To tread the heav'nly Ground.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 Languages: English
Nor Eye hath seen, nor Ear has heard
Shall we go on to sin
Hymnal: ACNH1754 #LIV (1760) Lyrics: 1 Shall we go on to sin
because thy Grace abounds;
Or crucify the Lord again
and open all his Wounds?
2 Forbid it, mighty God!
nor let it e'er be said,
That we whose Sins are crucify'd
should raise them from the Dead.
3 We will be Slaves no more,
since Christ has made us free,
Has nailed our Tyrants to his Cross,
And bought our Liberty. Scripture: Romans 6:1-2 Languages: English
Shall we go on to sin
No more, my God, I boast no more
Hymnal: ACNH1754 #LV (1760) Lyrics: 1 No more, my God, I boast no more
Of all the Duties I have done;
I quit the Hopes I held before,
To trust the Merits of thy Son.
2 Now, for the Love I bear his Name,
What was my Gain I count my Loss;
My former Pride I call my Shame,
And nail my Glory to his Cross.
3 Yes, and I must and will esteem
All Things but Loss for Jesus' sake:
O may my Soul be found in him,
And of his Righteousness partake!
4 The best Obedience of my Hands
Dares not appear before thy Throne;
But Faith can answer thy Demands
By pleading what my Lord has done. Scripture: Philippians 3:7-9 Languages: English
No more, my God, I boast no more
Lord, how secure my Conscience was
Hymnal: ACNH1754 #LVI (1760) Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my Conscience was,
and felt no inward Dread!
I was alive without the Law,
and thought my Sins were dead.
2 My Hope of Heav'n were firm and Bright,
but since the Precept came
With a convincing Pow'r and Light,
I find how vile I am.
3 My Guilt appear'd but small before,
'till terribly I saw
How perfect, holy, just, and pure,
was thine eternal Law.
4 Then felt my Soul the heavy Load,
my Sins reviv'd again
I had provok'd a dreadful God,
And all my Hopes were slain.
5 I'm like a helpless Captive sold
under the Pow'r of Sin;
I cannot do the Good I would,
nor keep my Conscience clean.
6 My God, I cry with ev'ry Breath
for some kind Pow'r to save,
To break the Yoke of Sin and Death,
and thus redeem the Slave.
Scripture: Romans 7:8-12 Languages: English
Lord, how secure my Conscience was
The Law by Moses came
Hymnal: ACNH1754 #LVII (1760) Lyrics: 1 The Law by Moses came,
but Peace, and Truth, and Love,
Were brought by Christ (a nobler Name)
descending from above.
2 Amidst the House of God
their diff'rent Works were done;
Moses a faithful Servant stood,
but Christ a faithful Son.
3 Then to his new Commands
be strict Obedience paid;
O'er all his Father's House he stands
the Sovereign and the Head.
4 The Man that durst despise
the law that Moses brought,
Behold! how terribly he dies
for his presumptuous Fault!
5 But sorer Vengeance falls
on that rebellious Race,
Who hate to hear when Jesus calls,
and dare resist his Grace. Scripture: Job 1:17 Languages: English
The Law by Moses came
With Joy we meditate the Grace
Hymnal: ACNH1754 #LVIII (1760) Lyrics: 1 With Joy we meditate the Grace
of our High-Priest above;
His Heart is made of Tenderness,
his Bowels melt with Love.
2 Touch'd with a Sympathy within,
he knows our feeble Frame;
He knows what sore Temptations mean,
for he has felt the same.
3 But spotless, Innocent, and Pure,
the great Redeemer stood,
While Satan's fiery Darts he bore,
and did resist to Blood.
4 He in the Days of feeble Flesh
pour'd out his Cries and Tears,
And in his Measure feels afresh
what every Member bears.
5 He'll never quench the smoking Flax,
but raise it to a Flame;
The bruised Reed he never breaks,
nor scorns the meanest Name.
6 Then let our humble Faith address;
His Mercy and his Pow'r;
We shall obtain deliv'ring Grace
in the distressing Hour.
Scripture: Hebrews 4:15-16 Languages: English
With Joy we meditate the Grace
So let our Lips and Lives express
Hymnal: ACNH1754 #LIX (1760) Lyrics: 1 So let our Lips and Lives express
The holy Gospel we profess;
So let our Works and Virtues shine,
To prove the Doctrine all Divine.
2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The Honours of our Saviour God;
When the Salvation reigns within,
And Grace subdues the Pow'r of Sin.
3 Our Flesh and Sense must be deny'd,
Passion and Envy, Lust and Pride;
While Justice, Temp'rance, Truth, and Love,
Our inward Piety approve.
4 Religion bears our Spirits up,
While we expect that blessed Hope,
The bright Appearance of the Lord,
And Faith stands leaning on his Word. Scripture: Titus 2:10-13 Languages: English
So let our Lips and Lives express
Had I the Tongues of Greeks and Jew
Hymnal: ACNH1754 #LX (1760) Lyrics: 1 Had I the Tongues of Greeks and Jews,
And nobler Speech, that Angels use,
If Love be absent, I am found,
Like tinkling brass, an empty Sound.
2 Were I inspir'd to preach and tell
All that is done in Heav'n and Hell,
Or could my Faith the World remove,
Still I am nothing without Love.
3 Should I distribute all my Store
To feed the Bowels of the Poor,
Or give my Body to the Flame,
To gain a Martyr's glorious Name.
4 If Love to God and Love to Men
Be absent, all my Hopes are vain;
Nor tongues, nor Gifts, nor fiery Zeal,
The Work of Love can e'er fulfil. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Languages: English
Had I the Tongues of Greeks and Jew
