Spirit of Adoption

Author: Berridge Hymnal: SHPW1844 #81 (1844) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Well, canst thou read thy heart Lyrics: 1 Well, canst thou read thy heart, And feel the plague of sin? Does Sinai’s thunder make thee start, And conscience roar within? 2 Expect to find no balm On nature’s barren ground; All human medicines will do harm; They only skin the wound. 3 To Jesus Christ repair, And knock at mercy’s gate; His blood alone can wash thee fair, And make thy conscience sweet. 4 In season due he seals A pardon on the breast; The wounds of sin his Spirit heals, And brings the gospel-rest. 5 [So comes the peace of God, Which cheers the conscience well; And love shed in the heart abroad, More sweet than we can tell.] 6 Adopted sons perceive Their kindred to the sky; The Father’s pardoning love receive, And “Abba, Father,” cry.

The Stability of the Covenant

Author: Toplady Hymnal: SHPW1844 #82 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Rejoice, ye saints, in every state Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, ye saints, in every state, Divine decrees remain unmoved; No turns of providence abate God’s care for those he once has loved. 2 Firmer than heaven his covenant stands, Though earth should shake and skies depart. You’re safe in your Redeemer’s hands, Who bears your names upon his heart. 3 Our Surety knows for whom he stood And gave himself a sacrifice: The souls once sprinkled with his blood, Possess a life that never dies. 4 Though darkness spread around our tent, Though fear prevail and joy decline, God will not of his oath repent: Dear Lord, thy people still are thine!

But everlasting is thy love, And Jesus seals it with his blood. 2 The oath and promise of the Lord Join to confirm the wondrous grace, Eternal power performs the word, And fills all heaven with endless praise. 3 Amidst temptations sharp and long, My soul to this dear refuge flies; Hope is my anchor, firm and strong, While tempests blow and billows rise. 4 The gospel bears my spirit up; A faithful and unchanging God, Lays the foundation of my hope, In oaths, and promises, and blood.

Signed by the sacred Three-in-One, In mutual love, ere time began. 2 Firm as the lasting hills, This covenant shall endure, Whose potent shalls and wills Make every blessing sure: When ruin shakes all nature’s frame, Its jots and tittles stand the same. 3 [Here the vast seas of grace, Love, peace, and mercy flow, That all the blood-bought race Of men, or angels know: O sacred deep, without a shore, Who shall thy limits e’er explore?] 4 Here when thy feet shall fall, Believer, thou shalt see Grace to restore thy soul, And pardon, full and free; Thee with delight shall God behold, A chosen sheep in Zion’s fold. 5 And when through Jordan’s flood Thy God shall bid thee go, His arm shall thee defend, And vanquish every foe; And in this covenant thou shalt view Sufficient strength to bear thee through.

No wrath shall e’er his bosom move Towards an object of his love.] 5 No heights of guilt, nor depths of sin, Where his redeemed have ever been, But sovereign grace was underneath, And love eternal, strong as death. 6 Come, then, ye saints, in strains divine, Rehearse the same in every line; Nor fear to sing the charming lay; You’ll sing the same another day. 7 No other song will be the employ Of saints, in worlds of endless joy, But loud hosannas round the throne, To the great sacred Three-in-One.

Christ the Savior of Sinners

Author: Hart Hymnal: SHPW1844 #89 (1844) First Line: When Adam by transgression fell Lyrics: 1 When Adam by transgression fell, And conscious, fled his Maker’s face, Linked in clandestine league with hell, He ruined all his future race: The seeds of evil once brought in, Increased and filled the world with sin. 2 But lo! the Second Adam came, The serpent’s subtle head to bruise; He cancels his malicious claim, And disappoints his devilish views; Ransoms poor prisoners with his blood, And brings the sinner back to God. 3 [To understand these things aright, This grand distinction should be known: Though all are sinners in God’s sight, There are but few so in their own. To such as these our Lord was sent; They’re only sinners who repent.] 4 [What comfort can a Saviour bring To those who never felt their woe? A sinner is a sacred thing; The Holy Ghost has made him so. New life from him we must receive, Before for sin we rightly grieve.] 5 This faithful saying let us own, Well worthy ’tis to be believed, That Christ into the world came down, That sinners might by him be saved. Sinners are high in his esteem, And sinners highly value him. Topics: Redemption Languages: English
