The Sufferings of Christ for our Salvation

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #119b (1740) Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the Kingdom First Line: Save me, O GOD, the swelling Floods Lyrics: 1 "Save me, O GOD, the swelling Floods "Break in upon my Soul; "I sink, and Sorrows o'er my Head "Like mighty Waters roll. 2 "I cry till all my Voice be gone, "In Tears I waste the Day; "My GOD, behold my longing Eyes, "And shorten thy Delay. 3 "They hate my soul without a Cause, "And still their Number grows "More than the Hairs around my Head, "And mighty are my Foes. 4 "'Twas then I paid that dreadful Debt "That Men could never pay, "And gave those Honours to thy Law "Which sinners took away." 5 Thus in the great Messiah's Name The Royal Prophet mourns; Thus he awakes our Hearts to Grief, And gives us Joy by Turns. 6 "Now shall the Saints rejoice, and find "Salvation in my Name, "For I have borne their heavy Load "Of Sorrow, Pain, and Shame. 7 "Grief, like a Garment, cloth'd me round, "And Sackcloth was my Dress, "While I procur'd for naked Souls "A Robe of Righteousness. 8 "Amongst my Brethren, and the Jews "I like a Stranger stood, "And bore their vile Reproach, to bring "The Gentiles near to GOD. 9 "I came in sinful Mortals Stead, "To do my Father's Will; "Yet when I cleans'd my Father's House, "They scandaliz'd my Zeal. 10 "My Fasting and my holy Groans "Were made the Drunkard's Song; "But GOD from his celestial Throne, "Heard my complaining Tongue. 11 "He sav'd me from the dreadful Deep, "Nor let my soul be drown'd; "He rais'd and fix'd my sinking Feet "On well establish'd ground. 12 "'Twas in a most accepted Hour "My Pray'r arose on high, "And for my Sake my GOD shall hear "The dying Sinner's Cry."

How strong thine arm is, mighty God

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #275 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom Lyrics: How strong thine arm is, mighty God! Who would not fear thy name? Jesus, how sweet thy graces are! Who would not love the Lamb? He has done more than Moses did, Our Prophet and our King; From bonds of hell he freed our souls, And taught our lips to sing. In the Red Sea, by Moses' hand, Th' Egyptian host was drowned; But his own blood hides all our sins, And guilt no more is found. When through the desert Isr'el went, With manna they were fed: Our Lord invites us to his flesh, And calls it living bread. Moses beheld the promised land, Yet never reached the place; But Christ shall bring his followers home, To see his Father's face. Then shall our love and joy be full, And feel a warmer flame; And sweeter voices tune the song Of Moses and the Lamb. Scripture: Revelation 15:3 Languages: English

Awake, our souls, away, our fears

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #357 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom Lyrics: Awake, our souls; away, our fears, Let every trembling thought begone; Awake, and run the heav'nly race, And put a cheerful courage on. True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God, That feeds the strength of every saint. Thee, mighty God! whose matchless power Is ever new and ever young, And firm endures, while endless years Their everlasting circles run. From thee, the overflowing spring, Our souls shall drink a fresh supply, While such as trust their native strength Shall melt away, and droop, and die. Swift as an eagle cuts the air, We'll mount aloft to thine abode On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire amidst the heav'nly road. Scripture: Isaiah 40:28-31 Languages: English
