Hymn 135

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHW #II.135 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Behold the woman's promised Seed! Lyrics: Behold the woman's promised Seed! Behold the great Messiah come! Behold the prophets all agreed To give him the superior room! Abram, the saint, rejoiced of old When visions of the Lord he saw; Moses, the man of God, foretold This great fulfiller of his law. The types bore witness to his name, Obtained their chief design, and ceased; The incense and the bleeding lamb, The ark, the altar, and the priest. Predictions in abundance meet To join their blessings on his head Jesus, we worship at thy feet, And nations own the promised Seed. Languages: English

Hymn 123

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHW #I.123 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Behold the wretch whose lust and wine Lyrics: Behold the wretch whose lust and wine Had wasted his estate, He begs a share among the swine, To taste the husks they eat! "I die with hunger here," he cries, "I starve in foreign lands; My father's house has large supplies And bounteous are his hands. "I'll go, and with a mournful tongue Fall down before his face,- Father, I've done thy justice wrong, Nor can deserve thy grace." He said, and hastened to his home, To seek his father's love; The father saw the rebel come, And all his bowels move. He ran, and fell upon his neck, Embraced and kissed his son; The rebel's heart with sorrow brake For follies he had done. "Take off his clothes of shame and sin," The father gives command, "Dress him in garments white and clean, With rings adorn his hand. "A day of feasting I ordain, Let mirth and joy abound; My son was dead, and lives again, Was lost, and now is found." Scripture: Luke 15:13 Languages: English

Psalm 119 Part 10

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHW #Ps.273 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Behold thy waiting servant, Lord Lyrics: Behold thy waiting servant, Lord, Devoted to thy fear; Remember and confirm thy word, For all my hopes are there. Hast thou not writ salvation down, And promised quick'ning grace? Doth not my heart address thy throne? And yet thy love delays. Mine eyes for thy salvation fail; O bear thy servant up! Nor let the scoffing lips prevail Who dare reproach my hope. Didst thou not raise my faith, O Lord? Then let thy truth appear: Saints shall rejoice in my reward, And trust as well as fear.

Hymn 64

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHW #I.64 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Behold what wondrous grace Lyrics: Behold what wondrous grace The Father has bestowed On sinners of a mortal race, To call them sons of God! 'Tis no surprising thing That we should be unknown; The Jewish world knew not their king, God's everlasting Son. Nor doth it yet appear How great we must be made; But when we see our Savior here, We shall be like our Head. A hope so much divine May trials well endure; May purge our souls from sense and sin, As Christ the Lord is pure. If in my Father's love I share a filial part, Send down thy Spirit like a dove, To rest upon my heart. We would no longer lie Like slaves beneath the throne; My faith shall Abba, Father, cry, And thou the kindred own. Scripture: 1 John 3:1 Languages: English

Psalm 103 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHW #Ps.224 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Bless, O my soul, the living God Lyrics: Bless, O my soul, the living God, Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad; Let all the powers within me join In work and worship so divine. Bless, O my soul, the God of grace; His favors claim thy highest praise: Why should the wonders he hath wrought Be lost in silence and forgot? 'Tis he, my soul, that sent his Son To die for crimes which thou hast done; He owns the ransom, and forgives The hourly follies of our lives. The vices of the mind he heals, And cures the pains that nature feels Redeems the soul from hell, and saves Our wasting life from threat'ning graves. Our youth decayed, his power repairs; His mercy crowns our growing years; He satisfies our mouth with good, And fills our hopes with heav'nly food. He sees th' oppressor and th' oppressed, And often gives the suff'rers rest; But will his justice more display In the last great rewarding day. [His power he showed by Moses' hands, And gave to Isr'el his commands; But sent his truth and mercy down To all the nations by his Son. Let the whole earth his power confess, Let the whole earth adore his grace; The Gentile with the Jew shall join In work and worship so divine.] Topics: Goodness of God; God mercy and truth; Mercies and truth of God; Mercies common and special; Afflictions gentle; Angels praise the Lord; Compassion of God; God goodness and mercy; God his universal dominion; Mercies spiritual and temporal Scripture: Psalm 103:1-7 Languages: English

Hymn 38 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHW #I.38.2 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Blessed Redeemer, how divine Lyrics: Blessed Redeemer, how divine, How righteous is this rule of thine! "To do to all men just the same As we expect or wish from them." This golden lesson, short and plain, Gives not the mind nor mem'ry pain; And every conscience must approve This universal law of love. How blest would every nation be, Thus ruled by love and equity! All would be friends without a foe, And form a paradise below. Jesus, forgive us, that we keep Thy sacred law of love asleep; No more let envy, wrath, and pride, But thy blest maxims be our guide. Scripture: Matthew 8:12 Languages: English

Blest are the undefiled in heart

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHW #Ps.264 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Blest are the undefiled in heart, Whose ways are right and clean; Who never from thy law depart, But fly from every sin. Blest are the men that keep thy word, And practise thy commands; With their whole heart they seek the Lord, And serve thee with their hands. Great is their peace who love thy law; How firm their souls abide! Nor can a bold temptation draw Their steady feet aside. Then shall my heart have inward joy, And keep my face from shame, When all thy statutes I obey, And honor all thy name. But haughty sinners God will hate, The proud shall die accursed; The sons of falsehood and deceit Are trodden to the dust. Vile as the dross the wicked are; And those that leave thy ways Shall see salvation from afar, But never taste thy grace.
