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

Hosanna to the royal Son

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Hosannah to the royal Son Of David's ancient line, His natures two, his person one, Mysterious and divine. 2 The root of David here we find, And offspring is the same; Eternity and time are join'd In our Immanuel's name. 3 Blest he that comes to wretched men With peaceful news from heaven; Hosannas of the highest strain To Christ the Lord be given. 4 Let mortals ne'er refuse to take Th'hosannah on their tongues, Lest rocks and stones should rise, and break Their silence into songs. Scripture: Luke 19:38-40

We sing the wise, the gracious plan

Meter: Irregular Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 We sing the wise, the gracious plan, Which God devis'd ere time began, At length disclos'd in all its light; We bless the wondrous birth of love, Which beams around us from above, With grace so free and hope so bright. 2 Here has the wise eternal mind In Christ, their common head, conjoined Gentiles and Jews, and earth and heaven. Through him from the great Father's throne, Rivers of bliss come rolling down, And endless peace and life are giv'n. 3 No more the awful cherubs guard The tree of life with flaming sword, To drive afar man's trembling race. At Salem's pearly gates they stand, And smiling wait, a friendly band, To welcome strangers to the place. 4 While we expect that glorious sight, Love shall our hearts with theirs unite, And ardent hope our bosoms raise. From earth's low cottages of clay, To those resplendent realms of day. We'll try to send the sounding praise.
