How Blest Is He Whose Trespass
Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 31 hymnals Scripture: Romans 4:7-8 Lyrics: 1 How blest is he whose trespass
hath freely been forgiv'n,
whose sin is wholly covered
before the sight of heav'n.
Blest he to whom Jehovah
will not impute his sin,
who hath a guileless spirit,
whose heart is true within.
2 While I kept guilty silence,
my strength was spent with grief;
thy hand was heavy on me,
my soul found no relief.
But when I owned my trespass,
my sin hid not from thee,
when I confessed transgression,
then thou forgavest me.
3 So let the godly seek thee
in times when thou art near;
no whelming floods shall reach them,
nor cause their hearts to fear.
In thee, O Lord, I hid me,
thou savest me from ill,
and songs of thy salvation
my heart with rapture thrill.
4 I graciously will teach thee
the way that thou shalt go,
and with my eye upon thee
my counsel make thee know.
But be ye not unruly
or slow to understand;
be not perverse, but willing
to heed my wise command.
5 The sorrows of the wicked
in number shall abound,
but those that trust Jehovah,
his mercy shall surround.
Then in the Lord be joyful,
in song lift up your voice;
be glad in God, ye righteous;
rejoice, ye saints, rejoice.

What though the darkness 'round me close,
Songs in the night it giveth. [Refrain]

And hear their death knells ringing;
When friends rejoice both far and near,
How can I keep from singing? [Refrain]

A fountain ever springing.
All things are mine since I am his;
How can I keep from singing? [Refrain] Topics: Confidence; Courage; Confidence; Courage; Confidence; Courage; Faith; Hope; Music Ministry; Refuge; Retreats; Trust Used With Tune: ENDLESS SONG

Hymn 43 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: Romans 4:25 First Line: Adam, our father and our head Lyrics:
Adam, our father and our head,
Transgressed, and justice doomed us dead;
The fiery law speaks all despair:
There's no reprieve nor pardon there.
But, O unutterable grace
The Son of God takes Adam's place;
Down to our world the Savior flies,
Stretches his arms, and bleeds, and dies.
Justice was pleased to bruise the God,
And pay its wrongs with heav'nly blood:
What unknown racks and pangs he bore!
Then rose; the law could ask no more.
Amazing work! look down, ye skies,
Wonder and gaze with all your eyes;
Ye heav'nly thrones, stoop from above,
And bow to this mysterious love.
Lo! they adore th' incarnate Son,
And sing the glories he hath won;
Sing how he broke our iron chains,
How deep he suiik, how high he reigns!
Triumph and reign, victorious Lord,
By all the flaming hosts adored;
And say, dear Couqueror, say how long
Ere we shall rise to join their song.
Send down a chariot from above,
With fiery wheels, and paved with love
Raise us beyond th' ethereal blue,
To sing and love as angels do.

Author: George T. Rygh; Birgitte K. Boye Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.4.4.4.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Romans 4:25 Lyrics: He is arisen! Glorious Word!
Now reconciled is God, my Lord;
The gates of heav'n are open.
My Jesus did triumphant die,
And Satan's arrows broken lie,
Destroyed hell's direst weapon.
Oh, hear
What cheer!
Christ victorious
Riseth glorious,
Life He giveth--
He was dead, but see, He liveth!
Amen.
