The faithful servants of the Lord

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XLVIII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: 2 Corinthians 11:19-33 Lyrics: 1 The faithful servants of the Lord, Who teach the plain and simple word Are always tempted, always tried, Distress'd and vext on ev'ry side. 2 Such was the first Apostl's fate, As sacred writings do relate; And all their faithful partners meet, The like reward and equal treat. 3 Oftimes they are falsely accus'd, And therefore slander'd and abus'd; When they endeavour to discharge, Their office to the world at large. 4 The Gospel is the purest light, It brings the sacred truth to sight; But where the truth, its beauty shows, There Satan's Kingdom will oppose. 5 The Servants of the Saviour are Expos'd to danger, dread and fear; Continual conflicts, war and strife Attends the course of all their life. 6 Expos'd to wants of ev'ry kind, Distress'd in body and in mind-- Esteem'd as men of meanest worth, As the off-scourings of the earth. 7 Oftimes as Pilgrim's, here they roam, No certain stay, or Place of home; The chief reward they hope to have, Is that which is beyond the grave.

The promise made to Abraham

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXXIII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Galatians 3:15-23 Lyrics: 1 The promise made to Abraham, And unto all his promis'd race; It was complete when Jesus came, And seal'd the covenant of Grace. 2 That which was long before determin'd, That all the law should be fulfill'd-- This was to Abraham confirm'd, The promise ratified and seal'd. 3 What e'er the law could teach or give, That would be labour all in vain; To rescue, ransom or retrieve, The wretched state of fallen men. 4 The law just like the teachers rod, Can scourge and let us feel the smart; But never work that love to God, Which can renew and change the heart. 5 But this effectual change we need, Is wrought by a superior hand; To be of Abrah'm's genuine seed, Entitled to that heav'nly land. 6 Jesus who was forelong ordain'd, According to the promis'd word; Our lost Salvation hath regain'd, And everlasting life restor'd. 7 O let us praise the Saviours name: Who lov'd us to the last degree-- Whose death entitles us to claim, His love to all eternity.

The way of life remain'd conceal'd

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XXVIII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Galatians 3:23-29 Lyrics: 1 The way of life remain'd conceal'd To all the human race, Until the Saviour was reveal'd Who purchas'd pard'ning grace. 2 The moral law was never giv'n To be the saving means; To fit us for the courts of heav'n, Or cleans us from our sins. 3 The law can never work that love That forms the mind anew. But judge, condemn and still reprove In all we think or do. 4 But when that true and living faith Is to the heart applied; then as the great Apostle saith: We shall be justified. 5 All male and female, Jew and Greek, And ev'ry bond and free! And all who for salvation seek, The heirs of grace shall be. 6 Thus made the heirs of grace indeed In spirit circumcis'd: With Abram and his faithful seed, For which we were baptis'd.

We cannot be the heirs of grace

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XXIV (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Galatians 4:1-7 Lyrics: 1 We cannot be the heirs of grace By merits of self-righteousness; In all we do we cannot find That which subdews the carnal mind. 2 Though train'd and tutor'd by the law, We still remain in fear and awe; All we can think, or say or do Cannot create the heart anew. 3 It cannot make a foe a child, Nor yet to God be reconcil'd; That poison which remains within, will keep the mind enslav'd to sin. 4 But God had laid a better plan To save the helpless race of man, It was his only blessed son Could save, and none but him alone. 5 Thus when the time was all complete, The time the Lord himself had set; The Saviour came and shed his blood And died to make us heirs of God.

As the Galatians vainly dream'd

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #LX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Galatians 4:21-31 Lyrics: 1 As the Galatians vainly dream'd, The ease can never be; Man is not by the law redeem'd, Nor yet by works made free. 2 Not by the deeds of any law Can any man be sav'd, But always kept in fear and awe, And yet remain deprav'd. 3 The carnal mind will e'er remain At enmity with God, Until the soul is born again, And cleans'd by Jesus' blood. 4 It was by covenant of grace, That God in Christ had made; He justified the fallen race, For which the Saviour bled. 5 O, why should we be so unwise! To trust to what we do; To rush on such an enterprize, That cannot bear us through. Topics: Fourth Sunday in Lent Languages: English

Strange is the faithful christian's life

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXXV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Galatians 5:16-24 Lyrics: 1 Strange is the faithful christian's life, What doth he feel within? A constant war, continual strife, To crush the pow'r of sin. 2 He seeks the will of God to do, And should he watch and pray; Yet his own will is working too! And leads his mind astray. 3 What oppositions does he fell! Doth not the thing he should. Contrary to his mind and will, He cannot as he would. 4 The flesh against the spirit lust, The will is captive led; Until the soul renews the trust; In Christ the living head. 5 Thus shall he overcome at last! In vain he shall not strive; For Jesus has him promise pass'd, To keep his faith alive. 6 Influenc'd by the spirit' pow'r! His lusts shall be subdu'd-- And he shall be enslav'd no more, Nor break his peace with God. 7 Dear Lord, with hopes on thee relied, I know I shall succeed: Till all my lusts are crucified, And I be fully freed.

What evil can such teachers do

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXXVII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Galatians 5:25-26 Lyrics: 1 What evil can such teachers do, Who only boast to make a shew! They aim at nothing that is good, As Paul to the Gallatians shew'd. 2 They lay a burthen on the flock, But will not join to bear the yoke; They seek their gain in other's loss: To screen them from the Saviour's Cross. 3 Their aim is not the Saviour's cause, They glory in their own applause-- They seek the world with its esteem: The Cross is foolishness with them. 4 But O, it is a diff'rent case, With those who teach the plan of grace, Their carnal lusts are crucified, And they are by the world denied. 5 They teach the truth, God's holy word The word of life, the sure record! They shew that Jesus' blood alone, Could for the sins of man atone. 6 No ordinance could e'er avail, Their best efforts for ever fail; When they have done all they an do, They cannot form the mind anew. 7 But diff'rent is the Gospel pow'r, God's image lost, it an restore-- Poor fallen man condemn'd to pain, In Jesus are renew'd again.

Should we not glory in the cause?

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXXIX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Ephesians 3:13-21 Lyrics: 1 Should we not glory in the cause? Of Christ our Sovereign Lord; Who will be as he ever was, Our great and sure reward. 2 The Christian man should never faint, Tho' he should feel the smart-- It is the Cross that makes the Saint, And purifies the heart. 3 This was Saint Paul's sincere desire, For this he humbly pray'd; O! may the Lord your minds inspire! With grace as ye may need. 4 The Lord endow you from above! Give you to understand: The height and depth of saving love, And bounties of his hand. 5 Far more than we can think or know, Or any wise believe; Will Christ on humble souls bestow, Who seek in him to live.

The best of counsels we can give

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXXXI (1816) Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-6 Lyrics: 1 The best of counsels we can give, As teachers of the word; That is to shew how christians live, As pleasing to the Lord. 2 We may enjoy the peace of mind, As Christians truly ought: When we endure and are resign'd To bear our fate and lot. 3 Our gifts and graces we improve, As God is pleas'd to give; His grace to grow, in faith and love, And holiness to live. 4 When we obey that blessed call, Which we have from above; Then Christ becomes our all in all, And we shall walk in love. 5 Where all these virtues do abound, There is a heav'n begun; There are the greatest treasures found, That are beneath the Sun.

Should they who have been dearly bought

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXXXV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Ephesians 4:22-28 Lyrics: 1 Should they who have been dearly bought, With such a precious price! And were to light from darkness brought, Yet still be slaves to vice. 2 Let those their hearts and member yield Who are yet deaf and blind: Who never had the truth reveal'd By an enlight'ned mind. 3 But it should never be the case, With those who see the light; Not run in ev'ry dangerous place, As if they walk'd by night. 4 In such a way they never learn'd, To know their gracious Lord; The chief for which they are concern'd, Is to obey his word. 5 To crucify their lusts and pride, The old man with his deed: Their vile affections lay'd aside, They see there is a need. 6 Then will those vices be subdu'd, And all such foes suppress'd; Then is the inward man renew'd, And made in God to rest?
