There is a Friend, who sticketh fast

Author: Berridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #149 (1844) Meter: 8.8.6 Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 There is a Friend, who sticketh fast, And keeps his love from first to last, And Jesus is his name; An earthly brother drops his hold, Is sometimes hot and sometimes cold, But Jesus is the same. 2 He loves his people, great and small, And, grasping hard, embraces all, Nor with a soul will part; No tribulations which they feel, No foes on earth, or fiends of hell, Shall tear them from his heart. 3 His love before all time began, And through all time it will remain, And evermore endure; Though rods and frowns are sometimes brought, And man may change, he changes not; His love abideth sure. 4 [A method strange this Friend has shown, Of making love divinely known To rebels doomed to die; Unasked, he takes our humblest form, And condescends to be a worm, To lift us up on high.] 5 [The law demanded blood for blood, And out he lets his vital flood To pay the mortal debt; He toils through life, and pants through death, And cries, with his expiring breath, “’Tis finished,” and complete!] 6 [Let all the ransomed of the Lord Exalt his love with one accord, And hallelujah sing; Adore the dying Friend of man, And bless him highly as you can; He is your God and King.] Scripture: Proverbs 18:24 Languages: English

(Gadsby's Hymns) #150 (1844) Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: The sweet Lamb of God comes forth to be slain Lyrics: 1 The sweet Lamb of God comes forth to be slain, And offers his blood to purge off our stain; With bitterest anguish and groans on the tree, The Saviour did languish for sinners like me. 2 Look on him, my soul, and gaze on his smart; His cries may control the lusts of thy heart; His blood has set often the worst broken bones; His love too can soften hearts harder than stones. 3 [Right worthy indeed he is of high fame, And saints have all need to trust in his name; Not feed on their graces, nor strut with a frame, But fall on their faces, and worship the Lamb.] 4 Lo! here is a feast of delicate food, For prodigals dressed, yet costly and good. Our Father provided this Lamb for a treat; And if you are minded, you freely may eat. 5 None other repast my spirit would have; Thy flesh let me taste, sweet Lamb, and yet crave; Thy blood ever flowing my pleasant cup be; Thy fleece on earth growing make clothing for me. 6 Thus covered and fed at thy proper cost, Thy path I would tread which pleases my host. Thy patience inherit, thy lowliness prove, Catch all thy sweet Spirit, and burn with thy love. Languages: English

The Path of the Just

Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #544 (1844) Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: By nature can no man be just Lyrics: 1 [By nature can no man be just, Since all are conceivèd in sin; No room is now left us to boast, For works cannot God’s favour win; But such who in Jesus believe, Are justified freely by grace; United to Jesus their Head, He’s made unto them righteousness.] 2 The Lord is the path of the just, And brighter and brighter shall shine, To Adam revealèd at first; To Abra’m made known in due time. The saints saw the path in those days, But still the path brighter did shine When God gave to Moses his ways, In shadows and types so sublime. 3 Now Jesus, the true Light, is come, The path is far brighter than day; Nor can that fair body, the sun, Shine equal to Jesus, the Way; The light that in Moses appeared, Though great, was but dim at the best, When with that divine Light compared, With which the true church is now blest.

Hosanna was sung to David, we hear; But soon he was forced into Adullam’s cave, And thousands pursued him his life to bereave. 3 To Adullam’s cave the wretched all run; Which David must have, their captain become; And thus he is furnished with men, to be sure, But, O be astonished! they’re helpless and poor.] 4 In David I see a greater by far; ’Tis Jesus, ’tis he who saves from despair; No sinner dejected that flees to the Lamb, Shall e’er be neglected, for David’s his name.
