Lamb of God, we fall before thee

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before thee, Humbly trusting in thy cross; That alone be all our glory, All things else are only dross. Thee we own a perfect Saviour, Only source of all that's good. Every grace and every favour Comes to us through Jesus' blood. 2 Jesus gives us true repentance, By his Spirit sent from heaven; Whispers this transporting sentence, "Son, thy sins are now forgiven." Faith he grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts his love to prize; Want we wisdom? he must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 3 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what he requires; Makes us follow his directions, And what he commands--inspires. All our prayers, and all our praises, Rightly offer'd in his name, He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.

How beauteous are their feet

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 720 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet, Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes, That see this heav'nly light! Prophets and kings desir'd it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare his arm Thro' all the earth abroad; Let ev'ry nation now behold Their Saviour and their God.

Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 486 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair We wretched sinners lay, Without one cheerful beam of hope, Or spark of glimmering day. 2 With pitying eyes, the Prince of Grace Beheld our helpless grief, He saw, and (O amazing love!) He ran to our relief. 3 Down from the shining seats above With joyful haste he fled, Enter'd the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead. 4 He spoil'd the powers of darkness thus, And brake our iron chains; Jesus has freed our captive souls From everlasting pains. 5 In vain the baffled prince of hell His cursed projects tries, We that were doom'd his endless slaves Are rais'd above the skies. 6 O for this love, let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Saviour's praises speak. 7 Angels, assist our mighty joys, Strike all your harps of gold; But when you raise your highest notes His love can ne'er be told.

Great God of wonders! all thy ways

Meter: Irregular Appears in 113 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Great God of wonders! all thy ways Are matchless, godlike, and divine; But thy fair glories of thy grace, More godlike and unrivall'd shine: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 2 Crimes of such horror to forgive, Such guilty daring worms to spare; This is thy grand prerogative, And none shall in the honour share: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 3 Angels and men resign their claim To pity, mercy, love, and grace, These glories crown Jehovah's name With an incomparable blaze: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 4 In wonder lost, with trembling joy, We take the pardon of our God, Pardon for crimes of deepest dye; A pardon seal'd with Jesus' blood: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 5 O may this strange, this matchless grace, This godlike miracle of love, Teach mortal tongues, like those above, Fill the wide earth with grateful praise, Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? Scripture: Micah 7:18

O could I speak the matchless worth

Meter: Irregular Appears in 773 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 O could I speak the matchless worth, O could I sound the glories forth Which in my Saviour shine, I'd soar and touch the heav'nly strings, And vie with Gabriel, while he sings In notes almost divine. 2 I'd sing the precious blood he spilt, My ransom from the dreadful guilt Of sin and wrath divine: I'd sing his glorious righteousness, In which all perfect heavenly dress My soul shall ever shine. 3 I'd sing the characters he bears, And all the forms of love he wears, Exalted on his throne: In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all his glories known. 4 Well, the delightful day will come, When my dear Lord will bring me home, And I shall see his face: Then with my Saviour, brother, friend, A blest eternity I'll spend, Triumphant in his grace. Scripture: Isaiah 35:2

Mistaken souls, that dream of heav'n

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 184 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ True faith accompanied by a holy life Lyrics: 1 Mistaken souls, that dream of heav'n, And make their empty boast Of inward joys and sins forgiv'n, While they are slaves to lust! 2 Vain are our fancies, airy flights, If faith be cold and dead; None but a living pow'r unites To Christ the living Head. 3 A faith that changes all the heart; A faith that works by love; That bids all sinful joys depart, And lifts the thoughts above. 4 Faith must obey our Father's will, As well as trust his grace: A pard'ning God requires us still To perfect holiness.

Scripture: Zechariah 13:1

Infinite grace! and can it be

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Infinite grace! and can it be That heaven's Supreme should stoop so low! To visit one so vile as I, One who has been his bitt'rest foe! 2 Can holiness and wisdom join, With truth, with justice, and with grace, To make eternal blessings mine, And sin, with all its guilt erase? 3 O love! beyond conception great, That form'd the vast, stupendous plan! Where all divine perfections meet To reconcile rebellious man! 4 There wisdom shines in fullest blaze, And justice all her rights maintains! He paid to justice all her due, And now he fills the mercy-seat. 6 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. 7 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. Scripture: Psalm 85:10

Hail, boundless love, that first began

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 224 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Hail, boundless love, that first began The scheme to rescue fallen man! Hail, matchless, free, eternal grace, That gave my soul a hiding-place. 2 Against the God that rules the sky I fought with hands uplifted high; Despis'd his rich, abounding grace, Too proud to seek a hiding-place. 3 But thus th'eternal counsel ran, "Almighty love arrest that man;" I felt the arrows of distress, And found I had no hiding-place. 4 Indignant justice stood in view, To Sinai's fiery mount I flew; But justice cry'd with frowning face, "This mountain is no hiding-place." Scripture: Isaiah 32:2
