Not all the outward forms on earth
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 155 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Not all the outward forms on earth,
Nor rites that God has given,
Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth,
Can raise a soul to heaven.
2 The sovereign will of God alone,
Creates us heirs of grace;
Born in the image of his Son,
A new, peculiar race.
3 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind,
Breathes on the sons of flesh,
New-models all the carnal mind,
And forms the man afresh.
4 Our quickened souls awake and rise
From the long sleep of death;
On heavenly things we fix our eyes,
And praise employs our breath. Used With Tune: MELODY
Not all the outward forms on earth
When, marshaled on the nightly plain
Author: Henry Kirke White Appears in 485 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 When marshaled on the nightly plain,
The glittering host bestud the sky,
One star alone of all the train
Can fix the sinner's wandering eye.
2 Once on the raging seas I rode;
The storm was loud, the night was dark,
The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed
The wind that tossed my foundering bark.
3 Deep horror than my vitals froze;
Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem;
When suddenly a star arose,
It was the Star of Bethlehem.
4 It was my guide, my light, my all;
It bade my dark forebodings cease;
And through the storm and danger's thrall
It led me to the port of peace. Used With Tune: MISSIONARY CHANT
When, marshaled on the nightly plain
When wounded sore, the stricken soul
Author: Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander Appears in 105 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 When wounded sore, the stricken soul
Lies bleeding and unbound,
One only hand a pierced hand
Can heal the sinner's wound.
2 When sorrow swells the laden breast,
And tears of anguish flow,
One only heart a broken heart
Can feel the sinner's woe.
3 When penitence has wept in vain
Over some foul, dark spot,
One only stream a stream of blood
Can wash away the blot.
4 'Tis Jesus' blood that washes white,
His hand that brings relief;
His heart that's touched with all our joys,
And feels for all our grief.
5 Lift up thy bleeding hand, O Lord!
Unseal that cleansing tide;
We have no shelter from our sin
But in thy wounded side. Used With Tune: HOLY CROSS
When wounded sore, the stricken soul

In His arms He carries them all day long:

Praise Him! praise Him! ever in joyful song!
2 Praise Him! praise Him!
Jesus, our blessèd Redeemer!

Love unbounded, wonderful, deep and strong: (Refrain)
3 Praise Him! praise Him!
Jesus, our blessèd Redeemer!
Heavenly portals loud with hosannas ring!

Crown Him! crown Him! Prophet and Priest and King!
Christ is coming! over the world victorious,
Power and glory unto the Lord belong: (Refrain) Used With Tune: [Praise Him! Praise Him!]
Praise Him! Praise Him!
O Could I Speak the Matchless Worth
Author: Samuel Medley, 1738-1799 Appears in 779 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Praise and Testimony Lyrics: 1 O could I speak the matchless worth,
O could I sound the glories forth
Which in my Savior shine,
I'd soar and touch the hev'nly strings,
And vie with Gabriel while he sings
In notes almost divine,
In notes almost divine.
2 I'd sing the precious blood He spilt,
My ransom from the deadful guilt
Of sin and wrath divine!
I'd sing His glorious righteousness,
In which all-perfect heavenly dress
My soul shall ever shine,
My soul shall ever shine.
3 I'd sing the characters He bears,
And all the forms of love He wears,
Exalted on His throne:
In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
I would to everlasting days
Make all His glories known,
Make all His glories known.
4 Soon the delightful day will come
When my dear Lord will bring me home,
And I shall see His face;
Then with my Saviour, Brother, Friend,
A blest eternity I'll spend,
Triumphant in His grace,
Triumphant in His grace.
Amen. Used With Tune: ARIEL

Setting my spirit free,
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain,
All sufficient grace for even me,
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame;
O magnify the precious name of Jesus,
Praise His name!

By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost;
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. (Refrain)

How Firm a Foundation

Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!" Used With Tune: FOUNDATION Text Sources: "K" in Rippon's "Selection of Hymns" 1788

O for a Faith That Will Not Shrink
Author: William H. Bathurst, 1796-1877 Appears in 725 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Aspiration and Consecration Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink,
Though pressed by many a foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe;
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chast'ning rod,
But in the hour of grief or pain
Will lean upon its God;
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without,
That, when in danger, knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt,
4 Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste e’en now the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.
Amen. Used With Tune: EVAN

Joy of heaven, to earth come down;
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling;
All Thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation;
Enter every trembling heart.
2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast!
Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find that second rest.
Take away our bent to sinning,
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.
3 Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Suddenly return, and never,
Nevermore Thy temples leave:
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.
4 Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee:
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
Amen. Used With Tune: BEECHER
