Fountain of Never Ceasing Grace

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1. Fountain of never ceasing grace, Thy saints’ exhaustless theme, Great object of immortal praise, Essentially supreme; We bless Thee for the glorious fruits Thine incarnation gives; The righteousness which grace imputes, And faith alone receives. 2. Whom heaven’s angelic host adores, Was slaughtered for our sin; The guilt, O Lord was wholly ours, The punishment was Thine: Our God in the flesh, to set us free, Was manifested here; And meekly bare our sins, that we His righteousness might wear. 3. Imputatively guilty then Our substitute was made, That we the blessings might obtain For which His blood was shed: Himself He offered on the cross, Our sorrows to remove; And all He suffered was for us, And all He did was love. 4. In Him we have a righteousness, By God Himself approved; Our rock, our sure foundation this, Which never can be moved. Our ransom by His death He paid, For all His people giv’n, The law He perfectly obeyed, That they might enter Heav’n. 5. As all, when Adam sinned alone, In his transgression died, So by the righteousness of One, Are sinners justified, We to Thy merit, gracious Lord, With humblest joy submit, Again to Paradise restored, In Thee alone complete. 6. Our souls His watchful love retrieves, Nor lets them go astray, His righteousness to us He gives, And takes our sins away: We claim salvation in His right, Adopted and forgiv’n, His merit is our robe of light, His death the gate of Heav’n.

O God, No Longer Hold Thy Peace

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 O God, no longer hold thy peace, no longer silent be; thine enemies lift up their head to fight thy saints and thee. Against thine own, whom thou dost love, their craft thy foes employ; they think to cut thy people off, thy church they would destroy. 2 Thine ancient foes, conspiring still, with one consent agree, and they who with thy people strive make war, O God, with thee. O God, who in our fathers' time didst smite our foes and thine, so smite thine enemies today who in their pride combine. 3 Make them like dust and stubble blown before the whirlwind dire, in terror driv'n before the storm of thy consuming fire. Confound them in their sin till they to thee for pardon fly, till in dismay they, trembling, own that thou art God Most High.

The Earth Belongs unto the Lord

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1. The earth belongs unto the Lord, And all that it contains; The world that is inhabited, And all that there remains. For the foundations thereof He on the seas did lay, And He hath it establishèd Upon the floods to stay. 2. Who is the man that shall ascend Into the hill of God? Or who within His holy place Shall have a firm abode? Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure, And into vanity Who hath not lifted up his soul, Nor sworn deceitfully. 3. He from th’Eternal shall receive The blessing him upon, And righteousness, ev’n from the God Of his salvation. This is the generation That after Him inquire, O Jacob, who do seek Thy face With their whole heart’s desire. 4. Ye gates, lift up your heads on high; Ye doors, that last for aye, Be lifted up, that so the King Of glory enter may. But who of glory is the King? The mighty Lord is this; Ev’n that same Lord, that great in might And strong in battle is. Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW Text Sources: Scottish Psalter, 1650

How Vast the Benefits Divine

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 26 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1. How vast the benefits divine which we in Christ possess! We are redeemed from guilt and shame and called to holiness. But not for works which we have done, or shall hereafter do, Hath God decreed on sinful men salvation to bestow. 2. The glory, Lord, from first to last, is due to Thee alone; Aught to ourselves we dare not take, or rob Thee of Thy crown. Our glorious Surety undertook to satisfy for man, And grace was given us in Him before the world began. 3. This is Thy will, that in Thy love we ever should abide; That earth and hell should not prevail to turn Thy Word aside. Not one of all the chosen race but shall to Heav’n attain, Partake on earth the purposed grace and then with Jesus reign. Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW Text Sources: Gospel Magazine, 1774

O grave, thy victory?" Rejoice, your conquering Savior lives, He lives to die no more; And life eternal freely gives, Since He our sorrows bore. 2 Sing praises to our risen Lord; Life, immortality, And lasting bliss are now restored For all, for you and me; Believe the wondrous deed, my soul, Adore His saving name; Rejoice, ye saints, from pole to pole, His love and power proclaim. 3 The Prince of glory bowed His head, Expiring on the cross; But now the Lord is risen indeed, Is risen and lives for us; Rejoice, and in the dust adore The Lamb for sinners slain; He liveth now and evermore, For evermore to reign.
