5 Now let my soul arise,
And tread the tempter down:
My Saviour leads me forth
To conquest and a crown.
A feeble saint shall win the day,
Tho' death and hell obstruct the way.
6 Should all the hosts of hell,
And pow'rs of death unknown,
Put their most dreadful forms,
Of death and mischief, on:
I shall be safe, for Christ displays
Superior pow'r and guardian grace.
HYMN 12. Third Part. L. M.
Christ is all, and in all.
N Christ I've all my soul's desire; His Spirit does my heart inspire With boundless wishes large and high: And Christ will all my wants supply.
2 Christ is my hope, my strength and guide
For me he bled, and groan'd, and died:
He is my Sun, to give me light,
He is my soul's supreme delight.
3 Christ is the source of all my bliss,
My wisdom, and my righteousness-
My Saviour, Brother, and my Friend,
On him alone I now depend.
4 Christ is my King to rule and bless,
And all my troubles to redress;
He's my salvation and my all,
Whate'er on earth shall me befal.
5 Christ is my strength and portion too,
My soul in him can all things do;
'Thro' him I'll triumph o'er the grave,
And death, and ev'ry foe outbrave.
HYMN 12. Fourth Part. L. M.
[OT all the nobles of the earth,
Who boast the honours of their birth, Such real dignity can claim,
As those who bear the Christian name. 2 To them the privilege is giv'n
To be the sons and heirs of heav'n;
Sons of the God who reigns on high,
And heirs of joy beyond the sky.
3 On them, a happy, chosen race,
Their Father pours his richest grace:
To them his counsels he imparts,
And stamps his image on their hearts.
4 Their infant-cries, their tender age,
His pity and his love engage:
He clasps them in his arms, and there
Secures them with parental care.
5 His will he makes them early know,
And teaches their young feet to go;
Whispers instruction to their minds,
And on their hearts his precepts binds.
6 When thro' temptations they rebel,
His chast'ning rod he makes them feel;
Then, with a Father's tender heart,
He soothes the pain, and heals the smart.
7 Their daily wants his hands supply,
Their steps he guards with watchful eye;
Leads them from earth to heav'n above,
And crowns them with eternal love.
8 If I've the honour, Lord, to be
One of this num'rous family;
On me the gracious gift bestow,
To call thee Abba, Father, too.
9 So may my conduct ever prove
My filial piety and love;
Whilst all my brethren clearly trace
Their Father's likeness in my face.
HYMN 13. First Part. L. M.
Christ is the eternal Son of God.
CHRIST, thou glorious King, we own
Thee to be God's eternal Son:
The Father's fulness, life divine,
Mysteriously are also thine.
2 When rolling years brought on the day
Foretold and fix'd for this display,
Our great deliv❜rance to obtain,
Thou didst our nature not disdain.
3 At God's right hand, now, Lord, thou'rt plac'd,
And with thy Father's glory grac'd,
True God and man, in person one;
A judge to pass our final doom.
4 From day to day, O Lord, do we
On high exalt and honour thee:
Thy name we worship and adore,
World without end, for evermore.
HYMN 13. Second Part. L. M. God the Son equal with the Father. RIGHT King of glory, dreadful God! Our spirits bow before thy feet; To thee we lift an humble thought, And worship at thine awful seat. 2 A thousand seraphs strong and bright Stand round the glorious Deity; But who, among the sons of light, Pretends comparison with thee? 3 Yet there is one of human frame, Jesus, array'd in flesh and blood,
Thinks it no robbery, to claim
A full equality with God.
4 Their glory shines with equal beams;
Their essence is for ever one;
Distinct in persons, and in names;
The Father God, and God the Son.
5 Then let the name of Christ our King
With equal honours be ador'd;
His praise let ev'ry angel sing,
And all the nations own the Lord.
HYMN 13. Third Part. L. M.
[ESUS, 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 thro' 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;
Persons and characters 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.
HYMN 13. Fourth Part. S. M.
EHOLD what wondrous grace
The Father has bestow'd
On sinners of a mortal race,
To call them sons of God!
2 'Tis no surprising thing,
That we should be unknown;
The Jewish world knew not their King,*
God's everlasting Son.
3 Nor doth it yet appear
How great we must be made;
But when we see our Saviour there,
We shall be like our head.
4 A hope so much divine
May trials well endure;
May purge our souls from sense and sin,
As Christ the Lord is pure.
5 If in my Father's love,
I share a filial part,
Send down thy Spirit, like a dove,
To rest upon my heart.
6 We would no longer lie,
Like slaves, beneath the throne;
Our faith shall Abba, Father, cry,
And thou the kindred own.
HYMN 13. Fifth Part. C. M.
Jesus is our Lord and Master.
1 COME, ye that love the Saviour's name, And joy to make it known,
The Sov'reign of your hearts proclaim,
And bow before his throne.
2 Behold your Lord, your Master crown'd With glories all divine!
