HYMN 13. Fourth Part. S.M.
We are sons of God by adoption.
1 |
BEHOLD 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!

HYMN 13. Fifth Part. C.M.
Jesus is our Lord and Master. (cont.)
2 |
And tell the wond'ring nations round,
How bright those glories shine.
|
3 |
Infinite pow'r, and boundless grace,
In him unite their rays:
You, that have e'er beheld his face,
Can you forbear his praise?
|
4 |
When in his earthly courts we view
The glories of our King;
We long to love, as angels do,
And wish, like them, to sing.
|
5 |
And shall we long and wish in vain?
Lord, teach our songs to rise:
Thy love can animate the strain,
And bid it reach the skies.
|
6 |
O happy period! glorious day!
When heav'n and earth shall raise,
With all their pow'rs, th' enraptur'd lay,
To celebrate thy praise.
|
HYMN 14. First Part. P.M.
The eternal Son of God took upon him the very nature of man.
1 |
GOD with us! O glorious name!
Let it shine in endless fame:
God and man in Christ unite;
O mysterious depth and height!
|
2 |
God with us! th' eternal Son
Took our soul, our flesh, and bone;
Now, ye saints, his grace admire,
Swell the song with holy fire.
|
3 |
God with us! but tainted not
With the first transgressor's blot;
Yet did he our sins sustain,
Bear the guilt, the curse, the pain,
|
4 |
God with us! O wondrous grace!
Let us see him face to face:
