In songs of sublime adoration and praise

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #97 (1870) Topics: Salvation Through Christ Lyrics: 1 In songs of sublime adoration and praise, Ye pilgrims for Zion who press, Break forth and extol the great Ancient of Days, His rich and unmerited grace. 2 His love, from eternity, burn'd for our race, Broke forth and discover'd its flame; And now with the cords of His kindness He draws, And brings us to love His great name. 3 Oh, had He not pitied the state we were in, Our bosoms His love had ne'er felt: We all would have lived, would have died too in sin, And sunk with the load of our guilt. 4 What was there in man that could merit esteem, Or give the Creator delight? 'Twas "Even so, Father," we ever must sing, Because it seem'd good in Thy sight. 5 Urged on by His grace, did the Saviour appear, The bearer of help from above: Now all who are thirsting may freely draw near And drink in the streams of His love. 6 Then give all the glory to His holy name, To Him all the glory belongs; Be ours the high joys still to sound forth His fame, And crown Him in each of our songs.

O love! beyond conception great

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #98 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation Through Christ Lyrics: 1 O love! beyond conception great, That form'd the vast, stupendous plan! Where all divine perfections meet To reconcile rebellious man! 2 There wisdom shines in fullest blaze, And justice all her rights maintains: Astonish'd angels stoop to gaze, While mercy o'er the guilty reigns. 3 Yes, mercy reigns, and justice too-- In Christ harmoniously they meet: He paid to justice all her due, And now He fills the mercy-seat. 4 Such are the wonders of our God, And such th'amazing depths of grace, To save from wrath's vindictive rod. The sons of Adam's fallen race. 5 With grateful songs then let our souls Surround our gracious Father's throne; And all between the distant poles His truth and mercy ever own. Languages: English

When I survey the wondrous cross

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #127 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation Through Christ Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. 3 See from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet? Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. Languages: English

How condescending and how kind

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #134 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation Through Christ Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind Was God’s eternal Son! Our mis'ry reach'd His heavenly mind, And pity brought Him down. 2 This was compassion like a God, That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was His blood, His pity ne’er withdrew. 3 Now, though He reigns exalted high, His love is still as great; Well He remembers Calvary, Nor should His saints forget. 4 Here we receive repeated seals Of Jesus’ dying love: Hard is the wretch that never feels One soft affection move. 5 Here let our hearts begin to melt, While we His death record, And with our joy for pardon'd guilt, Mourn that we pierced the Lord.

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #128 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation Through Christ Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done, he groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut its glories in, when God, the mighty Maker, died for his own creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face while his dear cross appears; dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of tears can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do. Languages: English

I saw One hanging on a tree

Author: Newton Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #129 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation Through Christ Lyrics: 1 I saw One hanging on a tree, In agony and blood; Who fixed His languid eyes on me, As near the cross I stood. 2 Sure, never, till my latest breath, Can I forget that look: It seem'd to charge me with His death Though not a word He spoke. 3 Alas! I knew not what I did-- But now my tears are vain; Where shall my trembling soul be hid, For I the Lord have slain! 4 A second look He gave, that said, "I freely all forgive: This blood is for thy ransom paid; I die that thou may'st live." 5 Thus while His death my sin displays In all its blackest hue, Such is the mystery of grace, It seals my pardon too!
