#revisionists
l
do loathe such revisionists;
Why
don't they write their own hymn?
Why
mess around with someone else's hymn?
How
shameful!
The
original hymn by John Bakewell has this:
1
Hail, Thou once-despised Jesus!
Hail,
Thou Galilean King!
Thou
didst suffer to release us,
Thou
didst free salvation bring.
Hail,
Thou agonizing Saviour,
Bearer
of our sin and shame;
By
Thy merits we find favour:
Life
is given through Thy name.
The
revisionist has perverted the above into this:
1
Hail, O once-despised Jesus!
Hail,
O Galilean King!
You
have suffered to release us,
Hope
to give and peace to bring.
Hail,
O universal Savior,
Bearer
of our sin and shame;
By
your merits we find favour:
Life
is given through your name.

Hail! Thou Once Despised Jesus
Congregational singing Metropolitan Tabernacle, London
Tune: HYFRYDOL Hail!
-------
Psalm
47:7 KJV — For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with
understanding.
1
Corinthians 14:15 KJV — What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I
will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will
sing with the understanding also.
---------
Psalm
47:7 KJT
For God is the King of all the earth: *sing ye praises with
understanding.*
1
Corinthians 14:15 KJT
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I
will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will
*sing with the understanding also.*
Both are in the imperative mood. Acceptable worship requires singing with understanding and comprehending the truth being sung.
Thou
didst free salvation bring has been revised as
Hope
to give and peace to bring.
What
poor and pathetic substitutes!
1. Hope
and peace are a small fraction of the salvation (eternal) brought by the
redemptive work of Christ for His people.
2.
Eternal (free!) salvation is substituted with two temporal (conditional)
blessings of that salvation.
3. "... didst... bring" - a simple past tense, completed accomplished action is replaced with the simple present tense, ongoing working of the Spirit of Christ, working in us hope and peace.
So different indeed.
Many
think thee and thou are outdated English, including those whose native language
is English. However, thee and thou are precise English.
'Thou'
and 'thee' are precise English, they are second person singular; 'ye' and 'you'
are second person plural.
The
distinction is necessary for rightly dividing the word of truth. A good example
is here:
John
3:7 *KJV* — Marvel not that I said unto *thee*, *Ye* must be born again.
John
3:7 *NKJV* — “Do not marvel that I said to *you* *You* must be born again.
Without
the distinction, too many are misled to think that the Lord Jesus was telling
Nicodemus that *he* must be born again, with the necessary implication that
Nicodemus was still dead in trespasses and sins.
Jesus
was telling Nicodemus, (second person singular, objective case; the singular
person spoken to; therefore *thee*) a general statement, "ye must be born
again", i.e. the necessity of the new birth in order to see and enter the
kingdom of God.
3 ¶Jesus
answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
5 ¶Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Hail,
Thou agonizing Savior vs
Hail,
o universal Savior
Matthew
1:21 KJT
And
she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall
save *his people* from their sins.
John
6 KJT
38 For
I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent
me. 39
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of *all which he hath
given me* I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
John
17 KJT
9 I
pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for *them which thou hast given
me*; for they are thine.
Many
believe in a universal Saviour that made salvation possible for all; it's up to
each man to actualize it by something he can and must do.
Scriptures teach that Christ actually accomplished the eternal salvation for as many as have been given to Him by the Father, and the Holy Spirit freely applies the salvation to each one of them at God's appointed and accepted time when they were dead in trespasses and sins.
Ephesians
2 KJT
5
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by
grace ye are saved;)....
8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the
gift of God.
Too
many are messed up with this passage, maybe you too.
