HYMN 12. Fourth Part. L.M.
Christians. (cont.) (cont.)

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.

1	O 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.

1	BRIGHT 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,

HYMN 13. Second Part. L.M.
God the Son equal with the Father. (cont.)

3	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.
Adoption.

1	JESUS, 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 theixe remov'd Till he forgets his first belov'd.
