Adoption
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #438 (1890) Topics: Adoption; Adoption First Line: Behold! what wondrous grace Lyrics: 1 Behold! what wondrous grace

On sinners of a mortal race,
To call them sons of God!

How great we must be made;
But when we see our Saviour here,
We shall be like our Head.
3 A hope so much divine
May trials well endure,
May purge our souls from sense and sin,
As Christ the Lord is pure.

Spirit of Adoption
Author: Berridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #81 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Adoption First Line: Well, canst thou read thy heart Lyrics: 1 Well, canst thou read thy heart,
And feel the plague of sin?
Does Sinai’s thunder make thee start,
And conscience roar within?
2 Expect to find no balm
On nature’s barren ground;
All human medicines will do harm;
They only skin the wound.
3 To Jesus Christ repair,
And knock at mercy’s gate;
His blood alone can wash thee fair,
And make thy conscience sweet.
4 In season due he seals
A pardon on the breast;
The wounds of sin his Spirit heals,
And brings the gospel-rest.
5 [So comes the peace of God,
Which cheers the conscience well;
And love shed in the heart abroad,
More sweet than we can tell.]
6 Adopted sons perceive
Their kindred to the sky;
The Father’s pardoning love receive,
And “Abba, Father,” cry. Languages: English
Spirit of Adoption
Adoption
Author: Cruttenden Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XCI (1792) 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 Languages: English

Secures them with parental care.]
5 His will he makes them early know,
And teaches their young feet to go;
Whispers instruction to their minds,
And on their hearts his precepts binds.
6 When, thro' temptation they rebel,
His chast'ning rode ne makes them feel
Then, with a father's tender heart,
He sooths the pain, and heals the smart.
7 Their daily wants his hands supply,
Their steps he guards with watchful eye,
Leads them from earth to heaven above,
And crowns them with eternal love.
8 If I've the honor, Lord, to be
One of this num'rous family,
On me the gracious gift bestow,
To call thee Abba, father! too.
9 So may my conduct ever prove
My filial piety and love!
Whilst all my brethren clearly trace
Their father's likeness in my face.

To life and liberty;
Transported fall before his feet,
Who makes the prisoners free.
2 The cruel bonds of sin he breaks,
He sunders Satan's chain;
Smiling he deals those pardons round,
Which free from endless pain.
3 Into the captive heart he pours
His spirit from on high;
We lose the terrors of the slave,
And Abba, father, cry.
4 Shake off your bonds, and sing his grace;
The sinner's friend proclaim;
And call on all around to seek
True freedom by his name.
5 Walk on at large, till you attain
Your father's house above;
There shall you wear immortal crowns,
And sing immortal love. Scripture: John 8:36 Languages: English

Jesus, we bless thy Father's Name
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LIV (1766) Topics: Adoption and Election Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we bless thy Father's Name:
Thy God and ours are both the same,
What heav'nly Blessings, from his Throne,
Flow down to Sinners through his Son!
2 Christ be my first Elect, he said,
Then chose our Souls in Christ our Head,
Before he gave the Mountains Birth,
Or laid Foundations for the Earth.
3 Thus did eternal Love begin
To raise us up from Death and Sin;
Our Characters were then decreed,
Blameless in love, a holy Seed.
4 Predestinated to be Sons,
Born by Degrees, but chose at once;
A new regenerated Race,
To praise the Glory of his Grace.
5 With Christ our Lord we share our Part
In the Affections of his Heart;
Nor shall our Souls be thence remov'd,
'Till he forgets his first belov'd. Scripture: Ephesians 1:3-7 Languages: English
Jesus, we bless thy Father's Name
So new-born Babes desire the Breast
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXLIII (1766) Topics: Adoption Lyrics: 1 So new-born Babes desire the Breast,
To feed, and grow, and thrive:
So Saints with Joy the Gospel taste;
And by the Gospel live.
[2 With inward Gust their Heart approves
All that the World relates;
They love the Men their Father loves,
And hate the Works he hates.]
[3 Not all the flatt'ring Baits on Earth
Can make them Slaves to Lust;
They can't forget their heav'nly Birth,
Nor grovel in the Dust.
4 Not all the Chains that Tyrants use,
Shall bind their Souls to Vice;
Faith, like a Conqu'ror, can produce
A thousand Victories.]
[5 Grace, like an uncorrupted Seed,
Abides and reigns within;
Immortal Principles forbid
The Sons of God to sin.]
[6 Not by the Terrors of a Slave
Do they perform his Will,
But, with the noblest Pow'rs they have,
His sweet Commands fulfil.]
7 They find Access at ev'ry Hour
To God within the Vale;
Hence they derive a quick'ning Pow'r,
And Joys that never fail.
8 O happy Souls! O glorious State
Of over-flowing Grace!
To dwell so near their Father's Seat,
And see his lovely Face!
9 Lord, I address thy heav'nly Throne;
Call me a Child of thine,
Send down the Spirit of thy Son
To form my Heart Divine.
10 There shed thy choicest Loves abroad,
And make my Comforts strong:
Then shall I say, My Father, God,
With an unwav'ring Tongue. Languages: English

All glory to the dying Lamb
Hymnal: A Pocket hymn book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #CCIII (1788) Topics: For Person joined in Fellowship Waiting for the Spirit of Adoption Lyrics: 1 All glory to the dying Lamb,
And never-ceasing praise,
While angels live to know thy name,
Or men to feel thy grace.
2 With this cold stony heart of mine,
Jesus, to thee I flee!
And to thy grace my soul resign,
To be renew'd by Thee.
3 Give me to hide my blushing face,
While thy dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.
4 O may the uncorrupted seed
Abide and reign within;
And thy life-giving word forbid
My new-born soul to sin.
5 Father, I wait before thy throne;
Call me a child of thine!
Send down the spirit of thy Son
To form my heart divine.
6 There shed thy promis'd love abroad,
And make my comfort strong;
Then shall I say, "My Father, God!"
With an unwav'ring tongue.
