Wesley Corpus

Specifically, Charles arranged the first twenty-four hymns in the section to correspond to the metre of the twenty-four Festival Hymns (1746), allowing him to suggest Lampe's tunes for these hymns (and the others in the collection with the same metre). Charles had employed this strategy once earlier in Redemption Hymns (1747), and used it for Family Hymns as well in 1767.2 While a dozen or so of the hymns included made it into other collections used among the Methodists, Trinity Hymns (1767) was never reprinted.

Page 3 "Sanctify the LORD OF HOSTS HIMSELF, and let HIM be your fear, and let HIM be your dread: and HE shall be for a sanctuary; but for a STONE OF STUMBLING and ROCK OF OFFENCE to both houses of Israel." Isa. viii. 13, 14. "The stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner: and a STONE OF STUMBLING, and ROCK OF OFFENCE." 1 Pet. ii. 7, 8. The Lord of hosts himself alone Worthy to be rever'd we own, By earth and heaven ador'd: Let all the One true God proclaim, Worship the dread Jehovah's name, Bow down to Christ the Lord. Those words on which the stress lies, are printed in capitals. Page 4 A sanctuary the faithful find, A refuge from the storm and wind, In Christ the Lord most high: But who refuse on him to call, Shall on the stone of stumbling fall, And unconverted die.
