Hypocrisy Exposed

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #90b (1740) Topics: Formal worship First Line: The Lord the Judge his Churches warns Lyrics: 1 The Lord, the Judge his Churches warns, Let Hypocrites attend and fear, Who place their Hope in Rites and Forms, But make not Faith nor Love their Care. 2 Vile Wretches dare rehearse his Name With Lips of Falsehood and Deceit; A Friend or Brother they defame, And sooth and flatter those they hate. 3 They watch to do their Neighbours wrong, Yet dare to seek their Maker's Face; They take his Cov'nant on their Tongue, But break his Laws, abuse his Grace. 4 To Heav'n they lift their Hands unclean, Defil'd with Lust, defil'd with Blood; By Night they practise ev'ry Sin, By Day their Mouths draw near to God. 5 And while his Judgments long delay, They grow secure, and sin the more; They think he sleeps as well as they, And put far off the dreadful Hour. 6 O dreadful Hour! when God draws near And sets their Crimes before their Eyes! His Wrath their guilty Souls shall tear, And no Deliv'rer dare to rise. Scripture: Psalm 50 Languages: English

So did the Hebrew prophet raise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #281 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Formal worship Lyrics: So did the Hebrew prophet raise The brazen serpent high, The wounded felt immediate ease, The camp forbore to die. "Look upward in the dying hour, And live," the prophet cries; But Christ performs a nobler cure, When Faith lifts up her eyes. High on the cross the Savior hung, High in the heav'ns he reigns: Here sinners by th' old serpent stung Look, and forget their pains. When God's own Son is lifted up, A dying world revives; The Jew beholds the glorious hope, Th' expiring Gentile lives. Scripture: John 3:14-16 Languages: English

How large the promise, how divine

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #527 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Formal worship Lyrics: How large the promise, how divine, To Abram and his seed! "I'll be a God to thee and thine, Supplying all their need." The words of his extensive love From age to age endure; The Angel of the cov'nant proves, And seals the blessing sure. Jesus the ancient faith confirms, To our great fathers giv'n; He takes young children to his arms, And calls them heirs of heav'n. Our God, how faithful are his ways! His love endures the same; Nor from the promise of his grace Blots out the children's name. Scripture: Genesis 17:7 Languages: English

Gentiles by nature, we belong

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #528 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Formal worship Lyrics: Gentiles by nature, we belong To the wild olive wood; Grace took us from the barren tree, And grafts us in the good. With the same blessings grace endows The Gentile and the Jew; If pure and holy be the root, Such are the branches too. Then let the children of the saints Be dedicate to God, Pour out thy Spirit on them, Lord, And wash them in thy blood. Thus to the parents and their seed Shall thy salvation come, And num'rous households meet at last In one eternal home. Scripture: Romans 11:16-17 Languages: English

God is a Spirit, Just and Wise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXXXVI (1766) Topics: Formality in Worship Lyrics: 1 God is a Spirit, Just and Wise, He sees our inmost Mind; In vain to Heav'n we raise our Cries, And leave our Souls behind. 2 Nothing but Truth before his Throne, With Honour can appear; The painted Hypocrites are known, Thro' the Disguise they wear. 3 Their lifted Eyes salute the Skies, Their bending Knees the Ground; But God abhors the Sacrifice, Where not the Heart is found. 4 Lord, search my Thoughts, and try my Ways, And make my Soul sincere; Then shall I stand before thy Face, And find Acceptance there. Scripture: John 4:24 Languages: English
