A form of words, though e'er so sound
Author: Hart Hymnal: SHPW1844 #31 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A form of words, though e’er so sound,
Can never save a soul;
The Holy Ghost must give the wound,
And make the wounded whole.
2 Though God’s election is a truth,
Small comfort there I see,
Till I am told by God’s own mouth,
That he has chosen me.
3 [Sinners, I read, are justified,
By faith in Jesus’ blood;
But when to me that blood’s applied,
’Tis then it does me good.]
4 [To perseverance I agree;
The thing to me is clear;
Because the Lord has promised me
That I shall persevere.]
5 [Imputed righteousness I own
A doctrine most divine;
For Jesus to my heart makes known
That all his merit’s mine.]
6 That Christ is God I can avouch,
And for his people cares,
Since I have prayed to him as such,
And he has heard my prayers.
7 That sinners black as hell, by Christ
Are saved, I know full well;
For I his mercy have not missed,
And I am black as hell.
8 Thus, Christians glorify the Lord,
His Spirit joins with ours
In bearing witness to his word,
With all its saving powers. Topics: Person and Power of the Spirit Languages: English
A form of words, though e'er so sound
"He shall not speak of himself"
Author: Hart Hymnal: SHPW1844 #32 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Whatever prompts the soul to pride Lyrics: 1 Whatever prompts the soul to pride,
Or gives us room to boast,
Except in Jesus crucified,
Is not the Holy Ghost.
2 That blessed Spirit omits to speak
Of what himself has done,
And bids the enlightened sinner seek
Salvation in the Son.
3 He never moves a man to say,
“Thank God, I’m made so good,”
But turns his eye another way,
To Jesus and his blood.
4 Great are the graces he confers,
But all in Jesus’ name;
He gladly dictates, gladly hears,
“Salvation to the Lamb.”

Praise to the ever-blessed Trinity
Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #33 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Bless'd be the Father, and his love Lyrics: 1 Bless'd be the Father and his love,
To whose celestial source we owe
Rivers of endless joy above,
And rills of comfort here below.
2 Glory to thee, great Son of God,
From whose dear wounded body rolls
A precious stream of vital blood,
Pardon and life for dying souls.
3 We give thee, sacred Spirit, praise,
Who in our hearts of sin and woe
Makes living springs of grace arise,
And into boundless glory flow.
4 Thus God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit we adore;
That sea of life and love unknown,
Without a bottom or a shore.

Hymn and Doxology to the Trinity
Author: Hart Hymnal: SHPW1844 #34 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: To comprehend the great THREE-ONE Lyrics: 1 To comprehend the great THREE-ONE,
Is more than highest angels can;
Or what the Trinity has done
From death and hell to ransom man.
2 But all true Christians this may boast,
(A truth from nature never learned),
That Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
To save our souls are all concerned.
3 [The Father’s love in this we find,
He made his Son our sacrifice;
The Son in love his life resigned;
The Spirit of love his blood applies.]
4 Thus we the Trinity can praise
In Unity through Christ our King;
Our grateful hearts and voices raise
In faith and love, while thus we sing:
5 Glory to God the Father be,
Because he sent his Son to die;
Glory to God the Son, that he
Did with such willingness comply;
6 Glory to God the Holy Ghost,
Who to our hearts this love reveals;
Thus God Three-One, to sinners lost
Salvation sends, procures, and seals. Topics: The Trinity Languages: English
Hymn and Doxology to the Trinity
To Father, Son, and Spirit
Hymnal: SHPW1844 #35 (1844) Meter: 6.4 First Line: Come, thou almighty King Lyrics: 1 Come, thou almighty King,
Help us thy name to sing;
Help us to praise:
Father all glorious,
O’er all victorious,
Come and reign over us,
Ancient of Days!
2 Jesus, our Lord, arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall!
Let thy almighty aid
Our sure defence be made,
Our souls on thee be stayed;
Lord, hear our call!
3 Come, thou Incarnate Word,
Gird on thy mighty sword;
Our prayers attend;
Come, and thy people bless,
And give thy word success;
Spirit of holiness,
On us descend!
4 Come, holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour!
Thou, who almighty art,
Now rule in every heart,
And ne’er from us depart,
Spirit of power!
5 To the great One-in-Three
Eternal praises be
Hence evermore!
His sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore! Topics: The Trinity Languages: English

Christ's Nativity
Author: J. W.; C. W. Hymnal: SHPW1844 #36 (1844) First Line: Hark! the herald angles sing Lyrics: 1 Hark! the herald-angels sing,
Glory to the new-born King;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!
2 Sons of Zion, too, arise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
And with angels loud proclaim,
“Christ was born in Bethlehem!”
3 Veiled in flesh the Godhead see!
Hail the incarnate Deity!
Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that we no more may die!
4 Glory to the new-born King,
Let us now the anthem sing;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled! Topics: The Incarnation of Christ Languages: English
Christ's Nativity
The Incarnate God
Hymnal: SHPW1844 #37 (1844) First Line: Let earth and heaven combine Lyrics: 1 Let earth and heaven combine,
Angels and men agree,
To praise, in songs divine,
The incarnate Deity;
Our God contracted to a span,
Incomprehensibly made man.
2 He laid his glory by,
And wrapped him in our clay;
Unmarked by human eye,
The latent Godhead lay;
Infant of Days he here became,
And bore the loved Immanuel’s name.
3 Unsearchable the love
That has the Saviour brought;
The grace is far above
Or man’s or angel’s thought;
Suffice for us, that God we know,
Our God, was manifest below! Topics: The Incarnation of Christ Languages: English
The Incarnate God
"Jesus"
Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #38 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Behold! the grace appears Lyrics: 1 Behold! the grace appears,
The promise is fulfilled!
Mary, the wondrous virgin, bears,
And Jesus is the child.
2 [The Lord, the highest God,
Calls him his only Son;
He bids him rule the lands abroad,
And gives him David’s throne.]
3 [O’er Jacob shall he reign
With a peculiar sway;
The nations shall his grace obtain,
His kingdom ne’er decay.]
4 To bring the glorious news
A heavenly form appears;
He tells the shepherds of their joys,
And banishes their fears.
5 “Go, humble swains,” said he,
“To David’s city fly,
The promised Infant born today
Does in a manger lie.
6 “With looks and hearts serene,
Go visit Christ, your King”;
And straight a flaming troop was seen;
The shepherds heard them sing:
7 “Glory to God on high,
And heavenly peace on earth;
Good will to men, to angels joy,
At the Redeemer’s birth!”
8 [In worship so divine
Let saints employ their tongues;
With the celestial host we join,
And loud repeat their songs:
9 “Glory to God on high,
And heavenly peace on earth;
Good will to men, to angels joy,
At the Redeemer’s birth!”] Topics: The Incarnation of Christ Languages: English

"Bethlehem"
Author: Hart Hymnal: SHPW1844 #39 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Come, ye redeemed of the Lord Lyrics: 1 Come, ye redeemed of the Lord,
Your grateful tribute bring;
And celebrate, with one accord,
The birthday of our King.
2 Let us with humble hearts repair
(Faith will point out the road)
To little Bethlehem, and there
Adore our infant God.
3 [In swaddling bands the Saviour view!
Let none his weakness scorn;
The feeblest heart shall hell subdue,
Where Jesus Christ is born.]
4 No pomp adorns, no sweets perfume
The place where Christ is laid;
A stable serves him for his room,
A manger is his bed.
5 The crowded inn, like sinners’ hearts,
(O ignorance extreme!)
For other guests, of various sorts,
Had room; but none for him.
6 But see what different thoughts arise
In our and angels’ breasts;
To hail his birth they left the skies,
We lodged him with the beasts!
7 Yet let believers cease their fears,
Nor envy heavenly powers;
If sinless innocence be theirs,
Redemption all is ours. Topics: The Incarnation of Christ Languages: English
"Bethlehem"
"And the Word was made flesh"
Author: Hart Hymnal: SHPW1844 #40 (1844) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: How blest is the season at which we appear Lyrics: 1 How blest is the season at which we appear!
Bow down, sense and reason, faith only reign here.
’Tis heard by mere nature with coldness and scorn,
That God, our Creator, an infant was born.
2 Lost souls to recover, and form them afresh,
Our wonderful Lover took flesh of our flesh;
From sin to release us – that yoke so long worn,
The holy child Jesus of Mary was born.
3 Poor sinners dejected, of comfort debarred,
Whose hearts are afflicted because they’re so hard;
Despairing of favour – cold, lifeless, forlorn,
Remember, the Saviour in winter was born.
4 And ye that sincerely confide in the Lamb,
(He loves you most dearly) rejoice in his name;
No more the believer from God shall be torn –
To hold him for ever an Infant was born. Topics: The Incarnation of Christ Languages: English
