Genesis 1:27

• [Gen 1:27] As Man And Woman We Were Made

  As man and woman we were made That love be found and life begun, So praise the Lord Who made us two, And praise the Lord when two are one; Praise for the love that comes to life Through child or parent, husband, wife. Now Jesus lived and gave His love To make our life and loving new; So celebrate with Him today And drink the joy He offers you; That makes the simple moment shine And changes water into wine. And Jesus died to live again, So praise the love that, come what may, Can bring the dawn and clear the skies, And waits to wipe all tears away; And let us hope for what shall be, Believing where we cannot see. Then spread the table, clear the hall, And celebrate till day is done; Let peace go deep between us all And joy be shared by everyone; Laugh and make merry with your friends, And praise the love that never ends!

• [Gen 1:27] On Man, In His Own Image Made

  On man, in his own image made, How much did God bestow? The whole creation homage paid, And owned him lord, below! He dwelt in Eden’s garden, stored With sweets for every sense; And there with his descending Lord He walked in confidence. But O! by sin how quickly changed! His honor forfeited, His heart, from God and truth, estranged, His conscience filled with dread! Now from his Maker’s voice he flees, Which was before his joy: And thinks to hide, amidst the trees, From an all seeing eye. Compelled to answer to his name, With stubbornness and pride He cast, on God Himself, the blame, Nor once for mercy cried. But grace, unasked, his heart subdued And all his guilt forgave; By faith, the promised seed he viewed, And felt His pow’r to save. Thus we ourselves would justify, Though we the law transgress; Like him, unable to deny, Unwilling to confess. But when by faith the sinner sees A pardon bought with blood; Then he forsakes his foolish pleas, And gladly turns to God.

Genesis 2:7

• [Gen 2:7] Arise, All Souls, Arise

  Arise, all souls, arise! The watch is past; A glory breaks above the cloud at last. There comes a rushing mighty wind again! The breath of God is still the life of men; The day ascending fills the waiting skies, All souls, arise! It comes the breath of God through all the skies! To live, to breathe with Him, all souls, arise! Open the windows toward the shining East; Call in the guests, and spread a wider feast, The Lord pours forth as sacramental wine His breath divine! It comes a larger life, a deeper breath; Arise, all souls, arise, and conquer death! Spread forth the feast, the dew and manna fall And angels whisper, “Drink ye of it all; Drink of His truth, and feed upon His love, With saints above!” Arise, all souls, arise, to meet your Guest! His light flames from the East unto the West. The Lord of earth and Heaven is at the door, He comes to break His bread to all His poor; Arise and serve with Him, His moment flies; All souls arise!

• [Gen 2:7] Lord At First Had Adam Made, The

  The Lord at first had Adam made Out of the dust and clay, And in his nostrils breathèd life, E’en as the Scriptures say. And then in Eden’s paradise He placèd him to dwell, That he within it should remain, To dress and keep it well. Refrain Now let good Christians all begin A holier life to live, And to rejoice and merry be, For this is Christmas Eve. And thus within the garden he Was set, therein to stay; And in commandment unto him These words the Lord did say: “The fruit which in the garden grows To thee shall be for meat, Except the tree in midst thereof, Of which thou shalt not eat.” Refrain “For in the day thou shalt it touch Or dost to it come nigh, If so thou do but eat thereof, Then thou shalt surely die.” But Adam he did take no heed Unto that only thing, But did transgress God’s holy Law, And so was wrapt in sin. Refrain Now mark the goodness of the Lord, Which He to mankind bore; His mercy soon He did extend, Lost man for to restore; And therefore to redeem our souls From death and hell and thrall, He said His own dear Son should be The Savior of us all. Refrain Which promise now is brought to pass: Christians, believe it well: And by the death of God’s dear Son, We are redeemed from hell. So if we truly do believe, And do the thing that’s right, Then by His merits we at last Shall live in Heaven bright. Refrain And now the tide is nigh at hand, In which our Savior came; Let us rejoice and merry be In keeping of the same; Let’s feed the poor and hungry souls, And such as do it crave; And when we die, in Heaven we Our sure reward shall have. Refrain

• [Gen 2:7] O Breath Of Life

  O Breath of life, come sweeping through us, Revive Thy church with life and power; O Breath of life, come, cleanse, renew us, And fit Thy church to meet this hour. O Wind of God, come bend us, break us, Till humbly we confess our need; Then in Thy tenderness remake us, Revive, restore, for this we plead. O Breath of love, come breathe within us, Renewing thought and will and heart; Come, Love of Christ, afresh to win us, Revive Thy church in every part. O Heart of Christ, once broken for us, ’Tis there we find our strength and rest; Our broken, contrite hearts now solace, And let Thy waiting church be blest. Revive us, Lord! Is zeal abating While harvest fields are vast and white? Revive, us Lord, the world is waiting, Equip Thy church to spread the light.
