Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 225 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss, And saves me from its snares; Its aid in ev'ry duty brings, And softens all my cares: 2 Extinguishes the thirst of sin, And lights the sacred fire Of love to God and heav'nly things, And feeds the pure desire. 3 The wounded conscience know its pow'r The healing balm to give; That balm the saddest heart can cheer, And make the dying live. 4 Wide it unveils celestial worlds, Where deathless pleasures reign; And bids me seek my portion there, Nor bids me seek in vain. 5 Shows me the precious promise seal'd With the Redeemer's blood; And helps my feeble hope to rest Upon a faithful God. 6 There, there unshaken would I rest, Till this vile body dies; And then on Faith's triumphant wings At once to glory rise.

Tis by the faith of joys to come

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 300 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 'Tis by the faith of joys to come, We walk through deserts dark as night; Till we arrive at heav'n our home, Faith is our guide, and faith our light. 2 The want of sight she well supplies; She makes the pearly gates appear; Far into distant worlds she pries, And brings eternal glories near. 3 Cheerful we tread the desert through, While faith inspires a heav'nly ray, Though lions roar, and tempests blow, And rocks and dangers fill the way. 4 So Abra'm, by divine command, Left his own house to walk with God; His faith beheld the promis'd land, And fir'd his zeal along the road.

Not by the law of innocence

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The gracious nature of this salvation Lyrics: 1 Not by the law of innocence Can Adam's sons arrive at heaven; New works can give us no pretence To have our ancient sins forgiven: 2 Not the best deeds that we have done, Can make a wounded conscience whole! Faith is the grace,--and faith alone, That flies to Christ, and saves the soul. 3 Lord, I believe thy heavenly word! Fain would I have my soul renew'd: I mourn for sin, and trust the Lord To have it pardon'd and subdu'd. 4 O may thy grace its power display! Let guilt and death no longer reign; Save me in thine appointed way, Nor let my humble faith be vain! Scripture: Romans 1:16

Every fallen soul, by sinning

Meter: Irregular Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The gracious nature of this salvation Lyrics: 1 Every fallen soul, by sinning, Merits everlasting pain; But thy love without beginning, Has redeemed the world again. Countless millions Shall in life, through Jesus reign. 2 Pause, my soul, adore and wonder! Ask, "O why such love to me?" Grace hath put me in the number Of the Saviour's family: Hallelujah! Thanks, eternal thanks to thee! 3 Since that love had no beginning, And shall never, never cease; Keep, O keep me, Lord, from sinning! Guide me in the way of peace! Make me walk in All the paths of holiness. 4 When I quit this feeble mansion, And my soul returns to thee; Let the power of thy ascension Manifest itself in me; Through thy Spirit, Give the final victory! 5 When the angel sounds the trumpet; When my soul and body join; When my Saviour comes to judgment, Bright in majesty divine; Let me triumph In thy righeousness as mine.

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.

O that I had a seraph's fire

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 O that I had a seraph's fire, His rapt'rous song and golden lyre, To chant the love and grace supreme, Reveal'd as in the gospel scheme. 2 Here's pardon full, for sins that's past-- It matters not how black their cast; And, O my soul, with wonder view, For sins to come, here's pardon too. 3 When Jesus died, our debts were paid, Our sins laid on this Scape-Goat's head; Were to the trackless desert drove, And buried in eternal love. 4 In this abyss of love profound, When sought for they shall not be found; Hid from Jehovah's piercing eye, There in oblivion's shades, they lie. Scripture: Leviticus 16:9

Lord, and am I yet alive

Meter: Irregular Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Lord, and am I yet alive, Not in torments, not in hell! Still doth thy good Spirit strive!-- With the chief of sinners dwell! Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 2 Yes, I still lift up mine eyes, Will not of thy love despair; Still in spite of sin I rise, Still I bow to thee in prayer. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 3 O the length and breadth of love! Jesus, Saviour, can it be! All thy mercy's height I prove, All the depth is seen in me. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 4 See a bush, that burns with fire, Unconsum'd amid the flame! Turn aside the sight t'admire, I the living wonder am. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 5 See a stone that hangs in air! See a spark in ocean live! Kept alive with death so near, I to God the glory give: Ever tell--to sinners tell, I am, I am out of hell!
