When Isra'l, freed from Pharoah's hand

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.CXIV (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When Isra'l, freed from Pharaoh’s hand, Left the proud tyrant and his land, The tribes with cheerful homage own Their king and Judah was his throne. 2 Across the deep their journey lay; The deep divides to make them way; Jordan beheld their march, and fled With backward current to his head. 3 The mountains shook like frighted sheep, Like lambs the little hillocks leap! Not Sinai on her base could stand, Conscious of sov'reign power at hand. 4 What pow'r could make the deep divide? Make Jordan backward roll his tide? Why did ye leap, ye little hills And whence the fright that Sinai feels? 5 Let ev'ry mountain, ev'ry flood, Retire and know the approaching God, The King of Israel: see Him here; Tremble, thou earth, adore and fear. 6 He thunders, and all nature mourns, The rock to standing pools he turns; Flints spring with fountains at his word, And fires and seas confess the Lord.

When Isr'l sinn'd the Lord reprov'd

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.LXXVII.III (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 13 When Isra'l sinn'd the Lord reprov'd, And fill'd their hearts with dread; Yet he forgave the men he lov'd, And sent them heav’nly bread. 14 He fed them with a lib'ral hand, And made his treasures known; He gave the mid-night clouds command To pour provision down. 15 The manna like a morning show'r Lay thick around their feet The food of heav’n, so light, so pure, As tho' ’twere angels meat. 16 But they in murm'ring language said, "Is manna all our feast? We loathe this light, this airy bread; We must have flesh to taste." 17 "Ye shall have flesh to please your lust," The Lord in wrath repli'd, And sent them quails like sand or dust, Heap'd up on ev'ry side. 18 He gave them all their own desire, And greedy as they fed, His vengeance burnt with secret fire, And smote the rebels dead. 19 When some were slain the rest return'd, And sought the Lord with tears; Under the rod they fear'd and mourn'd, But soon forgot their fears. 20 Oft he chastis'd, and still forgave, 'Till by his gracious hand The nations he resolv'd to save, Possess'd the promis'd land.

When Jesus did from heav'n descend

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XXII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus did from heav'n descend, He came to be the sinners friend; Was mov'd with pity, love and grace To save the human fallen race. 2 It was the kindness of our God, A precious gift on us bestow'd-- To let us know that Jesus is, Our life, our way and righteousness. 3 A doctrine of the greatest worth: The son of God appear'd on earth, When he assum'd our flesh and blood And sacrific'd himself to God. 4 Was it the Angels great delight? To view that wond'rous glorious sight: The son of God in flesh array'd For which both Kings and Prophets pray'd. 5 How highly thankful then ought we To him, our gracious Saviour be? Who is our life and righteousness, Our everlasting joy and peace. Topics: Second Christmas Scripture: Titus 3:4-7 Languages: English

When Jesus in the temple stay'd

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XXXIII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus in the temple stay'd, When he was but a youth; And there his fathers will obey'd: To hear and teach the truth. 2 He was by his dear mother sought, Who felt herself forlorn! She sought him, but she found him not, Which caused her to mourn. 3 She sought him first among the friends And hop'd him there to see; but Jesus not always attends Where he is thought to be. 4 But when, like Mary we pursue To seek him where his is: Like Mary we shall find him too, And know his offices. 5 He came to do his fathers will And make salvation known; The plan and order to reveal In which it must be done. 6 Could I like Mary, feel distress'd When absent from this face; My soul could never be at rest Till I could feel his grace. 7 Then, like as Mary I should find My comforts all renew'd: Faith, hope, and joy and peace of mind, And union with my God.

When Jesus on the Cross I see

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #LXX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus on the Cross I see; My soul is mov'd within: To think my Lord has died for me! To free my soul from sin. 2 Should such a creature as I am, My Lord's compassion move; Astonishing that I should claim The merits of his love. 3 Sure it would melt my hardn'd heart, And humble me the more; Could I but now and feel in part, The pains my Saviour bore. 4 My proud, my stout, and selfish will, No longer could abide; My vile affections prone to ill, Would soon be crucified. 5 Was all the force of learning join'd To make me know and feel-- My dark and wretched state of mind, Yet all could not avail.

When Jesus taught the Jews of old

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #LXI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus taught the Jews of old The way of righteousness; They rose in anger, fierce and bold, And scorn'd him to his face. 2 The prince of darkness gets enrag'd To see the truth succeed-- And all his subjects are engag'd To join with him their head. 3 The Gospel truth conveys a dart, Tho' Satan should oppose! And oftimes it does reach the heart Of those who are its foes. 4 But those who do not wish to b'lieve, Will vent and spit their spite-- Much rather than the truth receive Be blinded with the light. 5 And thus the case is ever so, All such who teach the truth: In all they seek, or say and do, They feel the serpents tooth. 6 The soul that is not born of God, Will never love his ways; But ever slight the Saviours blood And all the means of grace. 7 How awful must their cases be, Who wilfully refuse: To scorn the Lord who bought them free, And did the stubborn Jews.

When Jesus' time was fully come

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #LXXXVII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus' time was fully come To leave this world below; Then he return'd to heav'n, his home! Where he is worship'd now. 2 His work on earth is all complete: His suff'rings have an end; In heav'n he took his place and seat, And reigns at God's right hand. 3 The Hosts of heaven praise his name, And of his wonders sing; Then let us join to do the same And worship him our King. 4 To him, are endless praises due. From all that live and move; Yet men or angels cannot shew The greatness of his love. 5 We shall more fully sing his praise: When we get near his throne-- And love and thank him all our days, For all that he has done.

When Jesus unto Jordan came

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XXIX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus unto Jordan came, And was baptiz'd by John: There it was prov'd he was the same Who should for sin attone. 2 He was baptiz'd, but not as they Who are of sinful race: He had no sin to wash away, To make him heir of grace. 3 Repentance sure he needed not, His life was pure indeed: And he had neither stain or spot Of which he need be freed. 4 Why then did he there to attend, And why was he baptiz'd? It was to answer that great end, For which it was devis'd; 5 This was the ordinance alone Which was for to ordain: That great High Priest who should attone For all the guilt of men.

When John in prison came to hear

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When John in prison came to hear How great the works of Jesus were, Sent his Disciples for to know Their Saviour Christ, and own him too. 2 When they to Christ enquiring came, He bid them go to John again And shew to him where they had been, And tell the wonders they had seen. 3 The blind are made to see the light, The dead to feel his pow'r and might; The deaf to hear the dumb to talk, The lepres cleans'd, the lame to walk. 4 The poor they hear the gospel sound, Which heals the soul of every wound; They learn to know the way of peace, The way to endless happiness. 5 How happy and how bless'd are they Who know that Jesus is the way, They bear the cross and are resign'd To follow Christ with heart and mind. 6 Should we not praise the Lord our king? Who did salvation to us bring, Who pities men the fallen race, And came to make them heirs of grace. Topics: Third Sunday in Advent For the Gospel Scripture: Matthew 11:2-11 Languages: English

When man's account to light is bro't

Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXL (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When man's account to light is bro't, Each wicked deed, each word and thought; When in his conscience such appear, His mind is fill'd with dread and fear. 2 The soul that is convinc'd of sin, Will feel a deep distress within; Finds neither comfort, peace or rest, But feels a Hell within the breast. 3 The sins are numberless and great, Then thousand talents is their weight; The sinner sinks beneath the load, In deep distress he cries to God. 4 Spare me O righteous God, I pray! Until this dreadful debt I pay; I will exert what pow'r I have, Do all I can my soul to save. 5 But the efforts of human race Could never merit saving grace: God laid a better different plan, To save the fallen race of man. 6 He sent his own beloved son, Since none could save but he alone; His death a full atonement made, Thereby our awful debt was paid. 7 And thus redeem'd and thus set free; How highly thankful should we be: Like Jesus, willing to forgive All injuries we may receive. 8 We can't expect to be forgiv'n, Nor yet partake the joys of heav'n; Unless we act the christian part, Forgive all men with all our heart.
