Lamb of God, we fall before thee

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #336 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, we fall before thee, Humbly trusting in thy cross; That alone be all our glory, All things else are only dross. Thee we own a perfect Saviour, Only source of all that's good. Every grace and every favour Comes to us through Jesus' blood. 2 Jesus gives us true repentance, By his Spirit sent from heaven; Whispers this transporting sentence, "Son, thy sins are now forgiven." Faith he grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts his love to prize; Want we wisdom? he must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 3 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what he requires; Makes us follow his directions, And what he commands--inspires. All our prayers, and all our praises, Rightly offer'd in his name, He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.

We sing the wise, the gracious plan

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #339 (1828) Meter: Irregular 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.

Scripture: Leviticus 16:9

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!

O thou God of my salvation

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #344 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 O thou God of my salvation, My Redeemer from all sin, Mov'd to this by great compassion, Yearning bowels from within; I will praise thee: Where shall I thy praise begin? 2 While the angel-choirs are crying Glory to the great I AM; I with them will still be vying., Glory, glory, to the Lamb! O how precious Is the sound of Jesus’ name! 3 Now I see, with joy and wonder, Whence the healing streams arose: Angels-minds are lost to ponder Dying love's mysterious cause; Yet the blessing, Down to all, to me it flows. 4 Though unseen, I love the Saviour, He almighty grace hath shown; Pardon'd guilt, and purchas'd favor! This he makes to mortals known, Give him glory, Glory, glory is his own. 5 Angels now are hov'ring round us, Unperceiv'd they mix the throng, Wond'ring at the love that crown'd us, Glad to sing the holy song: Hallelujah, Love and praise to Christ belong.

Of him who did salvation bring

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #345 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Of him who did salvation bring I could forever think and sing; Arise, ye guilty, he'll forgive; Arise, ye needy, he'll relieve. 2 Ask but his grace, and lo, ’tis given, Ask, and he turns your hell to heaven; Tho' sin and sorrow wound my soul, Jesus, thy balm will make it whole, 3 to shame our sins he blush'd in blood, He clos'd his eyes to show us God; Let all the world fall down and know, That none but God such love can show. 4 'Tis thee I love, for thee alone I shed my tears and make my moan! Where'er I am, where'er I move, I meet the object of my love. 5 Insatiate to this spring I fly; I drink, and yet am ever dry; Ah! who against thy charms is proof? Ah! who that loves can love enough?
