How Vast the Benefits Divine

Author: Rev. Augustus M. Toplady; Dewey Westra Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #379 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Divine Election Lyrics: 1 How vast the benefits divine, Which we in Christ possess! We are redeemed from sin and shame, And called to holiness. 'Tis not for works which we have done, These all to Him we owe; But He, of His electing love, Salvation doth bestow. 2 To Thee, O Lord, alone is due All glory and renown; Aught to ourselves we dare not take, Or rob Thee of Thy crown. Thou wast Thyself our Surety In God's redemption plan; In Thee His grace was give us, Long ere the world began. 3 Safe in the arms of sovereign love We ever shall remain; Nor shall the rage of earth or hell Make Thy sure counsel vain. Not one of all the chosen race But shall to heaven attain; Here they will share abounding grace, And there with Jesus reign. Languages: English Tune Title: SERAPH

Sin and Divine Patience

Hymnal: The Psalter #291 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Divine Election First Line: Their God and Saviour they forgot Lyrics: 1 Their God and Saviour they forgot, Their helper and their stay, But Moses plead the promised grace And turned God's wrath away. 2 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, The promised land of God, And tempted Him to make them fall And scatter them abroad. 3 They sacrificed to heathen gods, And God their sin repaid; Then holy wrath avenged the wrong, And so the plague was stayed. 4 The Lord approved the righteous act Of him who sin abhorred, And honored him for evermore With just and great reward. 5 By wicked strife they angered God, His wrath they did provoke; And, stirred by their rebellious cries, Their leader rashly spoke. 6 Ensnared, they served the heathen gods, And by them were beguiled; The blood of children sacrificed The very land defiled. 7 Against His own inheritance Jehovah's wrath arose, His chosen people He condemned To serve their heathen foes. 8 Though from their harsh oppressors' hand Ofttimes He set them free, Rebellious still, they were brought low In their iniquity. 9 When unto God they cried, he heard And turned again His face, In boundless love remembering The covenant of His grace. 10 He even touched their captors' hearts, And made their very foes Compassionate and pitiful To feel his people's woes. 11 Save us, O Lord, our gracious God, From alien lands reclaim That we may triumph in Thy praise And bless Thy holy Name. 12 Blessed be the Lord our covenant God, All praise to Him accord; Let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye, praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 106 Languages: English Tune Title: NOTTINGHAM

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Rev. Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #390 (1934) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Divine Election Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the Word; From heaven He came and sought her To be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died. 2 Elect from every nation, Yet one o’er all the earth; Her charter of salvation, One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed, Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore, Till with the vision glorious, Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest.

Or who among the mighty shares The likeness that Jehovah bears. 6 With fear and reverence at His feet God's holy ones in council meet; Yea, more than all about His throne Must He be feared, and He alone. 7 O Thou Jehovah, God of Hosts, What mighty one Thy likeness boasts? In all Thy works and vast designs Thy faithfulness forever shines. 8 The swelling sea obeys Thy will, Its angry waves Thy voice can still; Thy mighty enemies are slain, Thy foes resist Thy power in vain. 9 The heavens and earth, by right divine, The world and all therein, are Thine; The whole creation's wondrous frame Proclaims its Maker's glorious Name.

Lord, remember his devotion; Restless in his courts he trod Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God, Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God. 2 Far away God's ark was resting; It is with His people now; We will go into His temple, At His footstool we will bow. With the ark Thy might revealing, Enter, Lord, into Thy rest; Let Thy priests be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest, Let thy priest be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest. 3 Let the king behold Thy favor For Thy servant David's sake, Unto whom a sacred promise, Sure and faithful, Thou didst make. If his children keep Thy covenant And Thy testimony own, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne. 4 Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion, Thou hast ever loved her well; This my resting-place forever, Here, Thou sayst, I choose to dwell. Surely I will bless and help her, Feed her poor, her saints make glad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad. 5 I will cause the might of David Ever more and more to grow, On the path of My Anointed I will make a lamp to glow; All His enemies shall perish, I will cover them with shame, But His crown shall ever flourish Blessed be His holy Name, But His crown shall ever flourish, Blessed be His holy Name.
