He dies! the Friend of sinners dies!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 655 hymnals Topics: Redemption Lyrics: 1 He dies! the Friend of sinners dies! Lo! Salem's daughters weep around; A solemn darkness veils the skies, A solemn trembling shakes the ground. 2 Here's love and grief beyond degree: The Lord of glory dies for men! But lo!--what sudden joys we see! Jesus, the dead, revives again. 3 The rising God forsakes the tomb, In vain the tomb forbids His rise: Cherubic legions guard Him home, And shout Him welcome to the skies. 4 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell How high our great Deliv'rer reigns; Sing how He spoil'd the hosts of hell, And led the monster Death in chains. 5 Say: "Live for ever, wondrous King! Born to redeem, and strong to save!" Then ask the monster: "Where's thy sting?" And where's thy vict'ry, boasting grave?"

Redeeming Love

Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 8.7.4 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Redemption First Line: O! the love of Christ to sinners! Lyrics: 1 O the love of Christ to sinners! Who can make its wonders known? Sin-born slaves, through grace, are winners Of a bright celestial crown; Jesus gives us Endless glory and renown. 2 We, by nature, are disgraceful; Nothing but the filth of hell; All our righteousnesses hateful; Who can half our baseness tell? Satan’s captives, And we loved his service well. 3 Jesus saw us sunk in ruin, And, determined us to save, Shed his blood, and brought us to him; For our life his own he gave; He redeemed us From sin, Satan, and the grave. 4 Endless love he fixed upon us, In eternity that’s past; Nor will ever take it from us; Endless love shall ever last; Love redeemed us, And will ever hold us fast.

Before the throne of God above

Author: Charitie L. De Chenez (1841-1923) Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Salvation and Redemption Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above I have a strong, a perfect plea; a great High Priest, whose name is Love who ever lives and pleads for me. My name is graven on his hands, my name is written on his heart; I know that while in heaven he stands no tongue can bid me thence depart. 2 When Satan tempts me to despair, and tells me of the guilt within, upward I look, and see him there who made an end of all my sin. Because the sinless Saviour died, my sinful soul is counted free; for God the just is satisfied to look on him and pardon me. 3 Behold him there! the risen Lamb! my perfect, spotless righteousness, the great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace! One with himself, I cannot die; my soul is purchased by his blood; my life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ my Saviour and my God. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:18-19 Used With Tune: BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD ABOVE

Is This a Day of New Beginnings?

Author: Brian Wren (1936- ) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Gospel Salvation and Redemption First Line: Is this a day of new beginnings Lyrics: 1 Is this a day of new beginnings, Time to remember and move on, Time too believe what love is bringing, Laying to rest the pain that’s gone? 2 How can the seasons of a planet Mindlessly spinning round its sun With just a human name and number Say that some new thing has begun? 3 Yet through the life and death of Jesus Love’s mighty Spirit, now as then, Can make for us a world of difference As faith and hope are born again. 4 Then let us, with the Spirit’s daring, Step from the past and leave behind Its disappointment, guilt, and grieving, Seeking new paths, and sure to find. 5 Christ is alive, and goes before us To show and share what love can do. This is a day of new beginnings; Our God is making all things new. Used With Tune: DRONFIELD
