Orignial Sin; or, The first and second Adam

Hymnal: HSoH1802 #XXVIII (1802) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Adam our father and our head Lyrics: 1 Adam our father and our head, Transgress'd, and justice doom'd us dead; The fiery law speaks all despair, There's no reprieve nor pardon there. 2 Call a bright council in the skies; Seraphs the mighty and the wise, Speak; are you strong to bear the load, The weighty vengeance of a God? 3 In vain we ask; for all around Stand silent thro' the heavenly ground; There's not a glorious mind above Has half the strength, or half the love. 4 But O! unmeasuraable grace! The eternal Son takes Adam's place; Down to our world the Saviour flies, Stretches his arms, and bleeds, and dies. 5 Amazing work! look down, ye skies, Wonder and gaze with all your eyes; Ye saints below and saints above, And bow to this mysterious love.

Sin and Holiness

Hymnal: HSoH1802 #XXX (1802) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: What jarring natures dwell within Lyrics: 1 What jarring natures dwell within, Imperfect grace, remaining sin! Nor this can reign, nor that prevail, Tho' each by turns my heart assail. 2 Now I complain, and groan and die, Now raise my songs of triumph high, Sing a rebellious passion slain, Or mourn to feel it live again. 3 One happy hour beholds me rise, Borne upwards to my native skies, While faith assists my soaring flight, To realms of joy, and worlds of light. 4 Great God, assist me thro' the fight, Make me triumphant in thy might; Thou the desponding heart canst raise, The victory mine, and thine the praise.

Hymnal: HSoH1802 #XXXI (1802) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Dread Sinai roars, the man be curst Lyrics: 1 Dread Sinai roars, "the man be curst, "That doth one wilful sin commit: "Death and damnation fro the first "Without relief, and infinite." 2 Thus flames the mount! and round the earth Thunder, and fire, and vengeance flings: But, Jesus, thy dear gasping breath, And Calvary say gentler things: 3 "Pardon, and grace, and boundless love, "Streaming along a Saviour's blood, "And life, and joys, and crowns above, "Obtain'd by a dear bleeding God." 4 Hark, how he prays (the charming sound Dwells on his dying lips)"forgive;" And every groan and gasping wound Cries, "Father, let the rebels live." 5 Go, you that rest upon the law, And toil, and seek salvation there, Look to the flame that Moses saw, And shrink, and tremble, and despair. 6 But I'll retire beneath the cross, Saviour, at thy dear feet I lie; And the keen sword that Justice draws, Flaming and red, shall pass me by.

Divinity of Christ

Hymnal: HSoH1802 #XXXIII (1802) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Ere the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad Lyrics: 1 Ere the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From everlasting was the Word: With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. 2 By his own pow'r were all things made; By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's head, And angels fly at his command. 3 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars. Thy generation who can tell, Or count the numbers of thy years! 4 But lo! he leaves those heav'nly forms, The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may hold converse with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. 5 Mortals with joy beheld his face, Th' eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth, how full of grace, When through his eyes the Godhead shone. 6 Archangels leave their high abode To learn new myst'ries here, and tell The loves of our descending God, The glories of Emmanuel.
