All Israel must to glory go, 5 [Satan and sin may vex the mind, The whole elect with Christ are one, 7 Where Jesus is, there they must be, And sit to all eternity, In chanting forth his grace. "I will in no wise cast out."-John vi. 37. JEHOVAH, the Saviour, appears, 8s. From guilt, sin, wrath, bondage, and fears 598. "A peculiar people."-Titus ii. 14. PECULIAR are the saints, And God doth them esteem; 148th. Though numerous are their wants, He is their treasure, and their joy, 2 3 4 5 6 [Loved from eternity, And chosen in the Lamb, Himself hath bound, by holy ties, [Peculiar is the grace, Which makes their bliss secure; Bought with the blood of Christ, Their God becomes their Priest, Peculiar must the blessing be, Which makes insolvent wretches free. [Their birth is from above; Peculiar indeed; Begotten, not of blood, But of immortal seed; From Christ, their Head, their life proceeds, And to him it most surely leads.] They live, and live to God; A life that's known by few; Their Father's staff and rod Support and comfort too; Christ is their Life, nor can they die, For hell can ne'er their Life destroy. 2 3 599. 148th. "But ye are come to Mount Zion."-Heb. xii. 22. YE Sons of God, be wise, And learn your Father's will; To yonder shining hill: No smoke, no thunderbolts are there, [A pleasant mount indeed, Where God unfolds his grace And, with a smiling face, Speaks peace to every troubled breast, To worship on this ground, Is not a legal task, A solid peace is found, And faith has all it asks: There Jesus sits with smiling face, And rules and reigns the God of grace. 600. 8. 7. 4. "Mercy and truth are met together."-Ps. lxxxv. 10. TRUTH and mercy meet together, Each perfection of Jehovah, Meets and shines in Jesus' face; Can be just, and save by grace. 2 What a field of consolation; Zion has a full salvation, And shall all her foes confound: Hath for hope a solid ground. Must and shall in God delight. 4 Here's a cord which can't be broken! Live, in spite of earth and hell. Shall the praise to Christ redound.] 601. S. M. "Shall we sin because we are not under the law?"-Rom. vi. 15. WHAT, then! shall Christians sin, Because freed from the law? Shall sinners, saved by grace divine, 2 Shall grace seduce the mind, 3 And souls, who under grace are found, Delight to disobey? Great God! forbid the thought! While pharisees set grace at nought, 602. 148th. "Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith."-Heb. xii. 2. JESUS the Author is Of true and living faith; This blessed grace he gives, And saves our souls from death; From Jesus we receive; 4 To vanquish hell and death, With sweet surprise to sit and view Nor death, nor sin, nor hell, Against this faith can stand; |
