4 The God of Abrah’m claims our praise,
His promises endure;
And Christ the Lord in gentler ways
Makes the salvation sure.

Hymn 2:135. 
Types and prophecies of Christ.

1 Behold the woman’s promis’d seed! 
Behold the great Messiah come! 
Behold the prophets all agreed
To give him the superior room!

2 Abrah’m the saint rejoic’d of old
When visions of the Lord he saw;
Moses the man of God foretold
This great fulfiller of his law.

3 The types bore witness to his Name, Obtain’d their chief design, and ceas’d; The incense and the bleeding lamb, The ark, the altar, and the priest.

4 Predictions in abundance meet
To join their blessings on his head;
Jesus, we worship at thy feet,
And nations own the promis’d seed.

Hymn 2:136. 
Miracles at the birth of Christ.

1 The King of Glory sends his Son
To make his entrance on this earth! 
Behold the midnight bright as noon,
And heavenly hosts declare his birth!

2 About the young Redeemer’s head
What wonders and what glories meet! 
An unknown star arose, and led
The eastern sages to his feet.

3 Simeon and Anna both conspire
The Infant-Saviour to proclaim;
Inward they felt the sacred fire,
And bless’d the babe, and own’d his Name.

4 Let Jews and Greeks blaspheme aloud,
And treat the holy Child with scorn;
Our souls adore th’ eternal God
Who condescended to be born.

Hymn 2:137. 
Miracles in the life, death,
and resurrection of Christ.

1 Behold the blind their sight receive;
Behold the dead awake and live;
The dumb speak wonders, and the lame
Leap like the hart, and bless his Name.

2 Thus doth th’ eternal Spirit own
And seal the mission of the Son;
The Father vindicates his cause,
While he hangs bleeding on the cross.

3 He dies; the heavens in mourning stood;
He rises, and appears a God;
Behold the Lord ascending high,
No more to bleed, no more to die.

4 Hence and for ever from my heart
I bid my doubts and fears depart;
And to those hands my soul resign
Which bear credentials so divine.

Hymn 2:138. 
The power of the gospel.

1 This is the word of truth and love,
Sent to the nations from above;
Jehovah here resolves to shew
What his almighty grace can do.

2 This remedy did wisdom find
To heal diseases of the mind: 
This sovereign balm, whose virtues can
Restore the ruin’d creature, man.

3 The gospel bids the dead revive, Sinners obey the voice, and live; Dry bones are rais’d and cloth’d afresh, And hearts of stone are turn’d to flesh.

4 [Where Satan reign’d in shades of night
The gospel strikes a heavenly light;
Our lusts its wondrous power controls,
And calms the rage of angry souls.]
