If Thy Beloved Son, O God

Author: Johann Heermann; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 If Thy beloved Son, O God, Had not to earth descended And in our mortal flesh and blood Had not sin's power ended, Then this poor, wretched soul of mine In hell eternally would pine Because of its transgression. 2 But now I find sweet peace and rest, Despair no more reigns o'er me; No more am I by sin opprest, For Christ has borne sin for me. Upon the cross for me He died That, reconciled, I might abide With Thee, my God, forever. 3 I trust in Him with all my heart; Now all my sorrow ceases; His words abiding peace impart, His blood from guilt releases. Free grace thro' Him I now obtain; He washes me from ev'ry stain, And pure I stand before Him. 4 All righteousness by works is vain; The Law brings condemnation; True righteousness by faith I gain; Christ's work is my salvation. His death, that perfect sacrifice, Has paid the all-sufficient price; In Him my hope is anchored. 5 My guilt, O Father, Thou hast laid On Christ, Thy Son, my Savior. Lord Jesus, Thou my debt hast paid And gained for me God's favor. O Holy Ghost, Thou Fount of grace, The good in me to Thee I trace; In faith do Thou preserve me. Amen.

I Know in Whom I Trust

Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Samuel Magnus Hill Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 I know in Whom I trust When guilt of sin oppresses, When anguish and remorse My burdened soul distresses; I come before Thy throne, O God, in Jesus' Name; Thy mercy, love, and truth Forever are the same. 2 I know in Whom I trust When, troubled and dejected, I lack the strength to go The way of God selected' To Jesus then I pray With a repentant mind, And strength of holiness I through His Spirit find. 3 I know in Whom I trust When worldly pomp and splendor Would lure my heart away, For He is my Defender. I hear His warning voice, I feel His loving hand; Temptations and deceits With Him I thus withstand. 4 I know in Whom I trust When peace and joy forsake me, When fain my heart would break, And sorrows overtake me. The suffering of my Lord, His anguish, pain, and woe Remind me of the way We after Him must go. 5 I know in Whom I trust When evening shadows lengthen, When death stands at the door,-- For Christ is there to strengthen. He died upon the cross To conquer death and hell; A Conqueror He rose, And all with us is well. 6 I know in Whom I trust; I praise Him and adore Him; By works I show my faith; My heart I lay before Him; Not only crying, "Lord!" I take Him as my Guide, And thus in life and death In Him alone abide. Amen. Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:12 Used With Tune: ACH JESU, DESSEN TREU

I Look Not Back

Author: Unknown Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification First Line: I look not back; God knows the fruitless efforts Lyrics: 1 I look not back; God knows the fruitless efforts, The wasted hours, the sinning, the regrets. I leave them all with Him who blots the record, And graciously forgives, and then forgets. 2 I look not forward; God sees all the future, The road that, short or long, will lead me home, And He will face with me its every trial, And bear for me the burdens that may come. 3 I look not round me; then would fears assail me, So wild the tumult of earth's restless seas, So dark the world, so filled with woe and evil, So vain the hope of comfort and of ease. 4 I look not inward; that would make me wretched; For I have naught on which to stay my trust. Nothing I see save failures and shortcomings, And weak endeavors, crumbling into dust. 5 But I look up--into the face of Jesus, For there my heart can rest, my fears are stilled; And there is joy, and love, and light for darkness, And perfect peace, and every hope fulfilled. Amen. Used With Tune: O SÄLLA LAND
