Fairer than the Sons of Men
Author: James Relly Hymnal: PHSS1792 #LIII (1792) Meter: Irregular First Line: Eternal excellence Lyrics: 1 Eternal excellence!
Thy Worms would fain declare,
In the divinest sense
How thou art heav'nly fair:
O Prince, Messiah, thou art seen
The fairest of the sons of men.
2 Jesus, thy beauties shine
Bright, infinitely bright;
Both human and divine,
In thee, O Lamb, unite!
Whate'er in heav'n or earth we see,
As beautiful, are types of thee.
3 The son, the moon, the stars,
With all the thrones above,
Thine excellence declare,
Thy beauty, pow'r, and love:
All worlds before thy throne we see,
A sea of glass reflecting thee.
4 Man in his first estate,
Most wonderfully form'd,
With beauty's pow'rs replete,
With holiness adorn'd,
From ev'ry spot and blemish free,
Was but a figure, Lord, of thee.
5 As blood of goats, and lambs,
Is to thy blood divine,
Or, as their altar flames,
Dear Jesus are to thine;
So Adam's purity appears,
To thee no more proportion bears.
6 Self int'rest, Lord, shall fail,
Man's haughtiness sinks low;
Thy beauty, Lord, prevail;
We at thy footstool bow:
Thou know'st our heart, we need no more;
Give us to worship, love, adore. Scripture: Psalm 45:2 Languages: English
Fairer than the Sons of Men
Jesus, exalted as a Prince and a Saviour
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CLXXVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Exalted Prince of life, we own Lyrics: 1 Exalted Prince of Life, we own
The royal honors of thy throne:
'Tis fix'd by God's Almighty hand,
And seraphs bow at thy command.
2 Exalted Saviour, we confess
The sov'reign triumphs of thy grace;
Where beams of gentle radiance shine,
And temper majesty divine.
3 Wide thy resistless sceptre sway,
Till all thine enemies obey;
Wide may thy cross its virtue prove,
And conquer millions by its love.
4 Mighty to vanquish, and forgive!
Thine Isr'el shall repent and live;
And laud proclaim thy healing breath,
Which works their life, who wrought thy death.

Author: Beddome Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CCLXXX (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Faith!— 'tis a precious grace Lyrics: 1 Faith!— 'tis a precious grace,
Where'er it is bestow'd!
It boasts of a celestial birth,
And is the gift of God!

An all atoning Priest,
It claims no merit of its own,
But looks for all in Christ.
3 To him it leads the soul,
When fill'd with deep distress;
Flies to the fountain of his blood,
And trusts his righteousness.
4 Since 'tis thy work alone,
And that divinely free;
Lord, send the spirit of thy Son
To work this faith in me.

The Glories of Redemption
Author: Watts Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CCLVIII (1792) First Line: Father, how wide thy glory shines! Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide thy glory shines!
How high thy wonders rise!
Known thro' the earth by thousand signs,
By thousands thro' the skies.
2 Those mighty orbs proclaim thy pow'r,
Their motions speak thy skill;
And on the wings of ev'ry hour
We read thy patience still.
3 Part of thy mane divinely stands
On all thy creatures writ,
They shew the labour of thy hands,
The impress of thy feet.
4 But when we view thy grand design
To save rebellious worms,
Where wisdom, pow'r, and goodness shine,
In their most glorious forms;
5 Our thoughts are lost in rev'rend awe;
We love, and we adore;
The holy angels never saw
So much of God before.
6 Here God hath made his nature known,
And thought can never trace,
Which of his glories brightest shone,
In our Redeemer's face.
7 O the sweet myst'ries of that cross
Where Jesus lov'd and died!
Her noblest life my spirit draws
From his dear wounded side.
8 Now the full glories of the Lamb
Adorn the heav'nly plains;
Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name,
And try their choicest strains.
9 O may I bear some humble part
In that immortal song!
Wonder and joy shall tune my heart,
And love command my tongue. Topics: The Wonders of Redemption, celebrated in Songs of Praise Scripture: Isaiah 1:1-3 Languages: English

Hymnal: PHSS1792 #CCXCI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Father, is not thy promise pledg'd Lyrics: 1 Father, is not thy promise pledg'd
To thine exalted Son,
That thro' the nations of the earth
Thy word of life shall run?
2 "Ask, and I give the heathen lands
For thine inheritance,
And to the world's remotest shores
Thine empire shall advance."
3 Hast thou not said, the blinded Jews
Shall their redeemer own;
While Gentiles to his standard croud,
And bow before his throne?
4 Are not all kingdoms, tribes, and tongues,
Under th' expanse of heav'n,
To the dominion of thy Son
Without exception giv'n?
5 From east to west, from north to south,
Then be his name ador'd!
Europe, with all thy millions, shout
Hosannahs to the Lord!
6 Asia and Africa, resound
From shore to shore his fame;
And thou, America, in songs,
Redeeming love proclaim! Topics: Solemn Prayers, offered up for Jew, Gentile, and the Fulness of the Lost in Adam Scripture: Psalm 28:9 Languages: English

The Excellence of Scripture
Author: Steele Hymnal: PHSS1792 #VII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Father of mercies, in thy word Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, in your word
What endless glory shines!
Forever be your name ador'd
For these celestial lines.
2 Here, may the wretched sons of want
Exhaustless riches find;
Riches, above what earth can grant,
And lasting as the mind.
3 Here, the fair tree of knowledge grows,
And yields a free repast,
Sublimer sweets that nature knows
Invite the longing taste.
4 Here, the Redeemer's welcome voice,
Spreads heav'nly peace around;
And life, and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.
5 O may these heav'nly pages be
My ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light.
6 Divine instructor, gracious Lord,
Be thou for ever near;
Teach me to love thy sacred word,
And view my Saviour there. Topics: The Scriptures, Legal, Prophetic, and Evangelical, collectively testify of the Savior Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16 Languages: English

All pow'rful from above,
To form, in our obedient souls,
The image of thy love.
2 O may our sympathizing breasts
The gen'rous pleasure know;
Kindly to share in other's joy,
And weep for other's woe.
3 When the most helpless sons of grief
In low distress are laid,
Soft be our hearts, their pains to feel,
And swift our hands to aid.
4 So Jesus look'd on dying man,
When thron'd above the skies;
And mid'st th' embraces of his God,
He felt compassion rise.
5 On wings of love the Saviour flew,
To raise us from the ground,
And shed the richest of his blood,
A balm for ev'ry wound. Topics: Miscellaneous Hymns for Sundry Occasions Scripture: Matthew 5:42 Languages: English
