Why to my soul did he convey The blessings of his grace? 2 O how could he so sweetly smile On such a wretch as I; I who his name did once revile, And his dear truth deny? 3 But ’twas because he loved my soul, Because he died for me, Because that nothing could control His great, his firm decree. 4 Lord, for thy manifested grace I’ll raise a cheerful song, Till I shall see thy brighter face ’Midst the celestial throng.

Grace exalted in the New Birth

Author: Medley Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Regeneration and Conversion First Line: Assist my soul, my heavenly King Refrain First Line: L. M. Lyrics: 1 Assist my soul, my heavenly King, Thy everlasting love to sing; And joyful spread thy praise abroad, As one, through grace, that’s born of God. 2 [No, it was not the will of man My soul’s new heavenly birth began; Nor will nor power of flesh and blood That turned my heart from sin to God.] 3 Herein let self be all abased, And sovereign love alone confessed; This be my song through all the road, That born I am, and born of God. 4 O may this love my soul constrain To make returns of love again; That I, while earth is my abode, May live like one that’s born of God. 5 [May I thy praises daily show, Who hast created all things new, And washed me in a Saviour’s blood To prove that I’m a son of God.] 6 And when the appointed hour shall come, That thou wilt call me to my home, Joyful I’ll pass the chilling flood, And die as one that’s born of God. 7 Then shall my soul triumphant rise To its blest mansion in the skies; And in that glorious, bright abode, Sing then as one that’s born of God.

The old and new Creation

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Regeneration First Line: That was a wonder-working word Lyrics: 1 That was a wonder-working word, Which could the vast creation raise! Angels attendant on their Lord; Admir'd the plan, and sung his praise. 2 From what a dark and shapeless mass, All nature sprang at his command1 "Let there be light, and light there was," And sun, and stars, and sea, and land. 3 Thus the new forming of the soul, Does all the pow'r of God display, As when he form'd the mighty whole, And kindled darkness into day. 4 Though self-destroy'd, O Lord, we are, Yet let us feel what thou canst do; Thy word the ruin can repair, And all our hearts create anew.
