Jesus, we bless thy Father's Name

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LIV (1766) Topics: Adoption and Election Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we bless thy Father's Name: Thy God and ours are both the same, What heav'nly Blessings, from his Throne, Flow down to Sinners through his Son! 2 Christ be my first Elect, he said, Then chose our Souls in Christ our Head, Before he gave the Mountains Birth, Or laid Foundations for the Earth. 3 Thus did eternal Love begin To raise us up from Death and Sin; Our Characters were then decreed, Blameless in love, a holy Seed. 4 Predestinated to be Sons, Born by Degrees, but chose at once; A new regenerated Race, To praise the Glory of his Grace. 5 With Christ our Lord we share our Part In the Affections of his Heart; Nor shall our Souls be thence remov'd, 'Till he forgets his first belov'd.

So new-born Babes desire the Breast

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXLIII (1766) Topics: Adoption Lyrics: 1 So new-born Babes desire the Breast, To feed, and grow, and thrive: So Saints with Joy the Gospel taste; And by the Gospel live. [2 With inward Gust their Heart approves All that the World relates; They love the Men their Father loves, And hate the Works he hates.] [3 Not all the flatt'ring Baits on Earth Can make them Slaves to Lust; They can't forget their heav'nly Birth, Nor grovel in the Dust. 4 Not all the Chains that Tyrants use, Shall bind their Souls to Vice; Faith, like a Conqu'ror, can produce A thousand Victories.] [5 Grace, like an uncorrupted Seed, Abides and reigns within; Immortal Principles forbid The Sons of God to sin.] [6 Not by the Terrors of a Slave Do they perform his Will, But, with the noblest Pow'rs they have, His sweet Commands fulfil.] 7 They find Access at ev'ry Hour To God within the Vale; Hence they derive a quick'ning Pow'r, And Joys that never fail. 8 O happy Souls! O glorious State Of over-flowing Grace! To dwell so near their Father's Seat, And see his lovely Face! 9 Lord, I address thy heav'nly Throne; Call me a Child of thine, Send down the Spirit of thy Son To form my Heart Divine. 10 There shed thy choicest Loves abroad, And make my Comforts strong: Then shall I say, My Father, God, With an unwav'ring Tongue.
