The Lord on high proclaims
Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #110 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Lord on high proclaims
His Godhead from his throne:
“Mercy and Justice are the names
By which I will be known.
2 “Ye dying souls, that sit
In darkness and distress,
Look from the borders of the pit
To my recovering grace.”
3 Sinners shall hear the sound;
Their thankful tongues shall own,
“Our righteousness and strength are found
In thee, the Lord alone.”
4 In thee shall Israel trust,
And see their guilt forgiven;
God will pronounce the sinners just,
And take the saints to heaven. Topics: Christ's Righteousness Languages: English
The Lord on high proclaims
Vain are the hopes the sons of men
Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #111 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Vain are the hopes the sons of men
On their own works have built;
Their hearts by nature all unclean,
And all their actions guilt.
2 Let Jew and Gentile stop their mouths,
Without a murmuring 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. Topics: Christ's Righteousness Scripture: Romans 3:19-22 Languages: English
Vain are the hopes the sons of men
No more, my God, I boast no more
Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #112 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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.

No more, my God, I boast no more
Who, but the soul that's led to know
Author: Kent Hymnal: SHPW1844 #113 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Who but the soul that’s led to know
How just and holy is the law,
Will to the cross of Christ repair,
And seek salvation only there?
2 [Jesus, my soul’s compelled to flee
From all its wrath and curse to thee;
Though oft, through pride, my stubborn will
To Sinai feels a cleaving still.]
3 Sinner, if thou art taught to see
How great thy guilt and misery,
In every thought and act impure,
The blood of Christ thy soul can cure.
4 Daily to feel thyself undone,
Will make thee haste to kiss the Son,
And on thy knees for pardon sue,
And praise, and bless, and love him too.
5 [To feel thy shame and nakedness,
Will make thee love that glorious dress
That sets from condemnation free,
And from the curse delivers thee.
6 Without a seam this garment’s wove,
Bequeathed in everlasting love;
Ere time began, designed to be
A royal robe to cover thee.]
7 We seek no other blood or name,
To cleanse our guilt and hide our shame,
But that wrought out by Christ the Son,
Which God imputes, and faith puts on. Topics: Christ's Righteousness Scripture: Mark 2:17 Languages: English
Who, but the soul that's led to know
The sons of earth delight
Author: Berridge Hymnal: SHPW1844 #114 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The sons of earth delight
To spread their fame abroad,
To glory in their worth and might;
But such are not of God.
2 The heavenly word declares,
And faithful is the word,
That Israel’s seed, the royal heirs,
Shall glory in the Lord.
3 In Jesus they shall trust;
From first to last each one,
Through Jesus, shall be counted just,
And boast in him alone.
4 Amen! the word is good;
My trust is in his name;
I have redemption through his blood,
And I will shout his fame.
5 [He hears my sad complaints,
And heals old wounds and new;
Hosanna to the King of saints;
His ways are just and true!
6 His worth I love to tell,
And wish the world to know;
And where the Son is honoured well,
The Father’s honoured too.] Topics: Christ's Righteousness Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:31 Languages: English
The sons of earth delight
Imputed righteousness is strang
Author: Berridge Hymnal: SHPW1844 #115 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 [Imputed righteousness is strange,
Nor will with human fancies range;
We guess the lurking motive well,
And Paul the hateful truth shall tell.]
2 The lofty heart can not submit
To cast itself at Jesus’ feet;
It scorns in borrowed robes to shine,
Though weaved with righteousness divine.
3 Proud nature cries, with loathing eyes,
“This imputation I despise,”
And from it she will pertly start,
Till grace has broken down her heart.
4 O give me, Lord, thy righteousness,
To be my peace and wedding dress!
My sores it heals, my rags it hides,
And makes me dutiful besides. Topics: Christ's Righteousness Scripture: Romans 8:7 Languages: English
Imputed righteousness is strang
A Just God and a Saviour
Hymnal: SHPW1844 #116 (1844) First Line: O the power of love divine! Lyrics: 1 O the power of love divine!
Who its heights and depths can tell –
Tell Jehovah’s grand design,
To redeem our souls from hell?
2 Mystery of redemption this:
All my sins on Christ were laid;
My offence was reckoned his;
He the great atonement made!
3 Fully I am justified;
Free from sin, and more than free;
Guiltless, since for me he died;
Righteous, since he lived for me.
4 Jesus, now to thee I bow;
Let thy praise my tongue employ.
Saved unto the utmost now,
Who can speak my heartfelt joy? Topics: Christ's Righteousness Languages: English
A Just God and a Saviour
Intercession
Author: Toplady Hymnal: SHPW1844 #117 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Awake, sweet gratitude, and sing Lyrics: 1 Awake, sweet gratitude, and sing
The ascended Saviour’s love;
Sing how he lives to carry on
His people’s cause above.
2 With cries and tears he offered up
His humble suit below;
But with authority he asks,
Enthroned in glory now.
3 For all that come to God by him,
Salvation he demands;
Points to their names upon his breast,
And spreads his wounded hands.
4 His sweet atoning sacrifice
Gives sanction to his claim:
“Father, I will that all my saints
Be with me where I am.”
5 Eternal life, at his request,
To every saint is given;
Safety on earth, and, after death,
The plenitude of heaven.
6 Founded on right, thy prayer avails;
The Father smiles on thee;
And now thou in thy kingdom art,
Dear Lord, remember me. Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Languages: English
Intercession
Melchisedec a Type of Christ
Author: Cennick Hymnal: SHPW1844 #118 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Thou dear Redeemer, dying Lamb Lyrics: 1 Thou dear Redeemer, dying Lamb,
We love to hear of thee;
No music’s like thy charming name
Nor half so sweet can be.
2 O let us ever hear thy voice;
In mercy to us speak;
And in our Priest we will rejoice,
Thou great Melchisedec.
3 Our Jesus shall be still our theme,
While in this world we stay;
We’ll sing our Jesus’ lovely name,
When all things else decay.
4 When we appear in yonder cloud
With all thy favoured throng,
Then will we sing more sweet, more loud,
And Christ shall be our song. Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Languages: English
Melchisedec a Type of Christ
Great God! from thee there's nought conceal'd
Author: Newton Hymnal: SHPW1844 #119 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great God! from thee there’s nought concealed,
Thou seest my inward frame;
To thee I always stand revealed
Exactly as I am!
2 Since I can hardly, therefore, bear
What in myself I see;
How vile and black must I appear,
Most holy God, to thee!
3 But since my Saviour stands between,
In garments dyed in blood,
’Tis he, instead of me, is seen,
When I approach to God.
4 Thus, though a sinner, I am safe;
He pleads, before the throne,
His life and death in my behalf,
And calls my sins his own.
5 What wondrous love, what mysteries,
In this appointment shine!
My breaches of the law are his,
And his obedience mine.
