Nothing but the Blood
Author: Robert Lowry Meter: 7.8.7.8 Appears in 499 hymnals First Line: What can wash away my sin? Refrain First Line: Oh! precious is the flow Lyrics: 1 What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Chorus:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
2 For my pardon this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing, this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.[Chorus]
3 Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.[Chorus]
4 This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.[Chorus]

Jesus Lives! Thy Terrors Now
Burdened with a heavy load
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.8.7.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Burdened with a heavy load, Lord, we come, for Thou art calling Lyrics:
I
Burdened with a heavy load,
Lord, we come, for Thou art calling;
Rough and toilsome is the road,
And the night around is falling.
II
Sin, the burden that we bear,
Fills us with a dread to meet Thee;
Yet, we yield not to despair,
But for mercy would entreat Thee.
III
From the cross a glorious light
Falls upon our path to cheer us;
And a hope on pinions bright
Hovers, in the darkness, near us.
IV
For the sake of Him Who bore
All the sin, we come lamenting,
Let Thy pardon now restore
Sinners, at Thy feet, repenting.
Hymns from the Morningland, 1911

Troparia (from the Canon of the Resurrection): Ode VII
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.8.7.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Word of God, Who by Thy will Lyrics:
Word of God, Who by Thy will
Madest all things as we see them;
By Thy glorious Passion, Thou,
From the shade of death didst free them.
We would join the glad refrain,
Ceaseless sung by all creation,
To the praise of Him whose works
Wake our souls to adoration.
Shattered now the bars of death,
Hades' gates are burst asunder,
For the Word of life arose
While creation gazed in wonder.
To Thy Name eternal praise
Every heart and voice engages;
All Thy works exalt Thy Name,
Through the endless course of ages.

Troparia (from the Canon of the Resurrection): Ode VII
Hail! The Morn with Gladness Crowned
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.8.7.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics:
Hail! the morn with gladness crowned,
Morn of morns, O glad and glorious!
When the Lord of Life, renowned,
Brake the bands of death, victorious.
Hades gazed in dread surprise,
As the light the darkness sundered;
Prisoners raised their weary eyes
Lit with hope, and mutely wondered.
Wounded was the Victor's brow,
Where the angry thorns distressed it;
But the conqueror's laurel now
Winding, on His forehead rested.
Hail! the Man from death arisen.
Hail! the Christ a Victor glorious.
Thou hast broken hades' prison,
Christ, the Son of God, victorious.
Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church, 1902

Comes by angel troops attended.

And His people’s food to be,
With Himself their souls regaling.

He Who made the earth His home

He Who made the earth His home,

Footsore, weary, 'Alleluia!
Calling wanderers back to God;--

Seeks the path where sunbeams go;--

On the awful cross He hung,
Faint, and bleeding, 'Alleluia!
Death and hell their arrows flung;--

O Holy Spirit, one in power
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.8.7.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
O Holy Spirit, one in power,
With God Who reigns in highest heaven;
Come to our waiting souls this hour,
And let Thy heavenly aid be given.
Our souls are dark, for sin is there;
We strive, and find our striving vain;
For night afflicts us everywhere,
And all is loss, and nought is gain.
But Thou art Light of radiant glow,
And Thou canst fill our souls with cheer;
Come then, Thy glorious Gift bestow,
And with Thy presence bless us here.
Then, far from us shall night depart,--
Our sin, and sadness, doubt, and pain;
61
And comfort shall sustain the heart,
And peace our warring lusts restrain.
O, One with Christ, Thou Spirit blest,
As one with God Thou truly art;
Great Triune! be Thy power confest,
And Thou enthroned in every heart.
O Holy Spirit, one in power

bless the Lord of earth and heaven,

Hail the Resurrection day
Author: John Brownlie; St. John of Damascus Meter: 7.8.7.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Hail the Resurrection day! Let the people shout for gladness Lyrics:
Hail the Resurrection day,
Let the people shout for gladness;
'Tis a Passover of joy,
Therefore banish every sadness;
For, from death to endless life,
Christ our Lord His people bringeth;
As from earth to heaven we rise,
Each his song of triumph singeth.
From our eyes the veil remove,
That we may, in light transcending,
See the Risen Lord of Life,
Life to all in grace extending;
Let our ears His voice perceive--
To its accents kind attending
We would hear "All hail" and sing,
Every voice in gladness blending.
Let the heavens above rejoice,
Earth unite with heaven in praising;
All the world, and all therein,
Join in triumph, heavenward raising
All things visible unite
With invisible in singing,
For the Christ is risen indeed,
Everlasting gladness bringing.

Lo! The Desert Depths Are Stirred
Author: Charles Coffin; William J. Blew Meter: 7.8.7.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lo! The desert depths are stirred,
And the reeds of Jordan quiver;
At the Baptist’s herald word,
Shake the shores of that old river.
2 Nearer comes the Preacher’s cry,
Deeper sounds his voice and deeper,
Telling that the Christ is nigh,
In a tone to rouse the sleeper.
3 By their Maker’s coming feet
Moved, the earth, the air, the ocean
Joyously His advent greet,
With a strangely yearning motion.
4 Cleanse the heart—a highway strew
For the Godhead hither faring;
Cleanse the home—a dwelling, due
To the mighty Guest, preparing.
5 Jesu, Thou our solace art,
Thou our strength and our salvation;
Withered grass, from Thee apart,
Fades away man’s feeble nation.
6 Lift the lost, with hand of health,
Whom the plague is fast consuming;
Lift the veil—in all its wealth,
Lo! the beauteous world is blooming.
7 Thou, who comest man to free,
Son, be Thine all praise for ever;
Thine with Sire and Spirit be
Laud through ages ending never. Used With Tune: GROSVENOR Text Sources: Hymni Sacri, 1736

Change Is Written Everywhere
Author: James Edmeston Meter: 7.8.7.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Change is written everywhere,
Time and death o’er all are ranging;
Seasons, creatures, all declare,
Man is mortal, earth is changing.
2 Life and all its treasures seem
Like a sea in constant motion;
Thanks for an eternal beam
Shining o’er the pathless ocean.
3 One by one, although each name
Providence or death will sever;
Jesus Christ is still the same
Yesterday, today, forever. Used With Tune: GROSVENOR Text Sources: Hymns for the Chamber of Sickness (London: Religious Tract Society, 1844)
