Hebrews 1:1-3

• [Heb 1:1] God, Who In Various Methods Told

  God, who in various methods told His mind and will to saints of old, Sent down His Son, with truth and grace, To teach us in these latter days. Our nation reads the written Word, That book of life, that sure record: The bright inheritance of Heav’n Is by the sweet conveyance giv’n. God’s kindest thoughts are here expressed, Able to make us wise and bless’d; The doctrines are divinely true, Fit for reproof and comfort, too. [The last stanza would, obviously, need updating for a present day use.] Ye British isles, who read His love In long epistles from above, (He hath not sent His sacred Word To every land,) praise ye the Lord.

• [Heb 1:3] Jesu, Our Hope, Our Heart’s Desire

  Jesu, our Hope, our heart’s Desire, Thy work of grace we sing; Redeemer of the world art Thou, Its Maker and its King. How vast the mercy and the love, Which laid our sins on Thee, And led Thee to a cruel death, To set Thy people free! But now the bonds of death are burst; The ransom has been paid; And Thou art on Thy Father’s throne, In glorious robes arrayed. O may Thy mighty love prevail Our sinful souls to spare! O may we stand around Thy throne, And see Thy glory there! Jesu, our only Joy be Thou, As Thou our Prize wilt be; In Thee be all our glory now And through eternity. All praise to Thee Who art gone up Triumphantly to Heav’n; All praise to God the Father’s Name And Holy Ghost be given.

• [Heb 1:3] O Brightness Of Th’immortal Father’s Face

  O Brightness of th’immortal Father’s face, Most holy, heav’nly, blest, Lord Jesus Christ, in Whom His truth and grace Are visibly expressed! The sun is sinking now, and one by one The lamps of evening shine; We hymn th’eternal Father, and the Son, And Holy Ghost divine. Worthy art Thou at all times to receive Our hallowed praises, Lord, O Son of God, be Thou, in Whom we live, Through all the world adored.
