Salvation. (cont.)
4 |
And unbelief almost perverts
The promise into fears.
|
5 |
My Saviour God, no voice, but thine,
These dying hopes can raise;
Speak thy salvation to my soul,
And turn my pray'r to praise.
|
HYMN 6. First Part. L.M.
Jesus is God and man.
1 |
ERE the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad,
From everlasting was the Word:
With God he was; the Word was God,
And must divinely be ador'd.
|
2 |
By his own pow'r all things were made;
By him supported all things stand;
He is the whole creation's head,
And angels fly at his command.
|
3 |
Ere sin was born, or Satan fell,
He led the host of morning stars:
His generation who can tell,
Or count the number of his years!
|
4 |
But lo! he leaves those heav'nly forms:
The word descends and dwells in clay,
That he may converse hold with worms,
Drest in such feeble flesh as they.
|
5 |
Mortals with joy beheld his face,
Th' eternal Father's only Son:
How full of truth, how full of grace,
When thro' his flesh the Godhead shone!
|
6 |
The angels leave their high abode,
To learn new mysteries here, and tell
The love of our descending God,
The glories of Immanuel.
|

HYMN 6. Second Part. L.M.
Immanuel.
1 |
ALL hail, thou great Immanuel!
Thy love, thy glory, who can tell?
Angel's, and all the heav'nly host,
Are in the boundless prospect lost.
|
2 |
Mortals, with reverential songs,
Take this dear name upon your tongues;
With holy fear, attempt his praise,
In solemn, yet triumphant, lays.
|
3 |
Among a thousand forms of love,
In which he shines and smiles above;
This with peculiar joy we view,
He's David's root and offspring too.
|
4 |
There Jesus, in the glorious plan,
Shines, the great God, the wondrous man!
As God, the root of all our bliss,
As man, the branch of righteousness.
|
5 |
All hail, thou dear redeeming Lord!
All hail, thou co-essential Word!
All hail, thou Root and Branch divine!
All hail, and be the glory thine!
|
HYMN 6. Third Part. L.M.
Types and proprecies fulfilled in Christ.
1 |
BEHOLD the woman's promis'd seed!
Behold the great Messiah come!
Behold the prophets all agreed
To give him the superior room!
|
2 |
Abra'm, the saint, rejoic'd of old,
When visions of the Lord he saw;
Moses, the man of God, foretold
This great fulfiller of his law.
|
3 |
The types bore witness to his name,
Obtain'd their chief design, and ceas'd:
