PART 1 (C. M.) | |||
With | ''The faithfulness of God'' | ||
And bow before the Lord | |||
His high commands with | My never-ceasing songs shall show | ||
The mercies of the Lord; | |||
And make succeeding ages know | |||
How faithful is his word. | |||
The sacred truths his lips pronounce | |||
Shall firm as heav'n endure; | |||
And if he speak a promise once, | |||
Th' eternal grace is sure. | |||
How long the race of David held | |||
The promised Jewish throne! | |||
But there's a nobler cov'nant sealed | |||
To David's greater Son. | |||
His seed for ever shall possess | |||
A throne above the skies; | |||
The meanest subject of his grace | |||
Shall to that glory rise. | |||
Lord God of hosts, thy wondrous ways | |||
Are sung by saints above; | |||
And saints on earth their honors raise | |||
To thy unchanging love. | |||

And tremble at his word. | And tremble at his word. | ||

PART 4, v. 19 ff. (C. M.) | |||
''Christ's mediatorial kingdom; or, His Divine and human nature'' | |||
Hear what the Lord in vision said, | |||
And made his mercy known: | |||
"Sinners, behold your help is laid | |||
On my Almighty Son. | |||
"Behold the Man my wisdom chose | |||
Among your mortal race: | |||
His head my holy oil o'erflows, | |||
The Spirit of my grace. | |||
"High shall he reign on David's throne, | |||
My people's better King; | |||
My arm shall beat his rivals down, | |||
And still new subjects bring. | |||
"My truth shall guard him in his way, | |||
With mercy by his side, | |||
While in my name through earth and sea | |||
He shall in triumph ride. | |||
"Me for his Father and his God | |||
He shall for ever own, | |||
Call me his rock, his high abode, | |||
And I'll support my Son. | |||
"My first-born Son arrayed in grace | |||
At my right hand shall sit; | |||
Beneath him angels know their place, | |||
And monarchs at his feet. | |||
"My cov'nant stands for ever fast, | |||
My promises are strong; | |||
Firm as the heav'ns his throne shall last, | |||
His seed endure as long." | |||
PART 5, v. 30 ff. (C. M.) | |||
''The covenant of grace unchangeable'' | |||
"Yet," saith the Lord, "if David's race, | |||
The children of my Son, | |||
Should break my laws, abuse my grace, | |||
And tempt mine anger down; | |||
"Their sins I'll visit with the rod | |||
And make their folly smart; | |||
But I'll not cease to be their God, | |||
Nor from my truth depart. | |||
"My cov'nant I will ne'er revoke, | |||
But keep my grace in mind | |||
And what eternal love hath spoke | |||
Eternal truth shall bind. | |||
"Once have I sworn (I need no more) | |||
And pledged my holiness, | |||
To seal the sacred promise sure | |||
To David and his race. | |||
"The sun shall see his offspring rise | |||
And spread from sea to sea, | |||
Long as he travels round the skies | |||
To give the nations day. | |||
"Sure as the moon that rules the night | |||
His kingdom shall endure, | |||
Till the fixed laws of shade and light | |||
Shall be observed no more.}} | |||

PART 6, v. 47 ff. (L. M.) | |||
''Mortality and hope. A funeral psalm'' | |||
Remember, Lord, our mortal state, | |||
How frail our life! how short the date! | |||
Where is the man that draws his breath | |||
Safe from disease, secure from death'? | |||
Lord, while we see whole nations die, | |||
Our flesh and sense repine and cry, | |||
"Must death for ever rage and reign? | |||
Or hast thou made mankind in vain? | |||
"Where is thy promise to the just? | |||
Are not thy servants turned to dust?" | |||
But faith forbids these mournful sighs, | |||
And sees the sleeping dust arise. | |||
That glorious hour, that dreadful day, | |||
Wipes the reproach of saints away, | |||
And clears the honor of thy word: | |||
Awake, our souls, and bless the Lord. | |||
LAST PART, v. 47 ff. (8,8,8,8,8,8) | |||
''Life, death, and the resurrection'' | |||
Think, mighty God, on feeble man; | |||
How few his hours! how short his span! | |||
Short from the cradle to the grave | |||
Who can secure his vital breath | |||
Against the bold demands of death, | |||
With skill to fly, or power to save? | |||
Lord, shall it be for ever said, | |||
"The race of man was only made | |||
For sickness, sorrow, and the dust?" | |||
Are not thy servants day by day | |||
Sent to their graves, and turned to clay? | |||
Lord, where's thy kindness to the just? | |||
Hast thou not promised to thy Son | |||
And all his seed a heav'nly crown? | |||
But flesh and sense indulge despair: | |||
For ever blessed be the Lord, | |||
That faith can read his holy word, | |||
And find a resurrection there. | |||
For ever blessed be the Lord, | |||
Who gives his saints a long reward | |||
For all their toil, reproach, and pain: | |||
Let all below and all above | |||
Join to proclaim thy wondrous love, | |||
And each repeat their loud Amen.}} | |||
