Hail! thou once despised Jesus

Thou didst suffer to release us; Thou didst free salvation bring: Hail! thou agonnizing Saviour, Bearer of our sin and shame! By thy merits we find favour; Life is given through thy name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, All our sins on thee were laid; By almighty love anointed, Thou hast full atonement made: All thy people are forgiven Through the virtue of thy blood; Open'd is the gate of heaven; Peace is made 'twixt man and God. 3 Jesus, hail! enthron'd in glory, There forever to abide! All the heavenly host adore thee, Seated at thy Father's side: There for sinners thou art pleading; There thou dost our place prepare; Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honour, power, and blessing, Thou art worthy to receive; Highest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give: Help, ye bright angelic spirits! Bring your sweetest, noblest lays! Help to sing our Saviour's merits; Help to chant Immanuel's praise.

Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #349 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair We wretched sinners lay, Without one cheerful beam of hope, Or spark of glimmering day. 2 With pitying eyes, the Prince of Grace Beheld our helpless grief, He saw, and (O amazing love!) He ran to our relief. 3 Down from the shining seats above With joyful haste he fled, Enter'd the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead. 4 He spoil'd the powers of darkness thus, And brake our iron chains; Jesus has freed our captive souls From everlasting pains. 5 In vain the baffled prince of hell His cursed projects tries, We that were doom'd his endless slaves Are rais'd above the skies. 6 O for this love, let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Saviour's praises speak. 7 Angels, assist our mighty joys, Strike all your harps of gold; But when you raise your highest notes His love can ne'er be told.

Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes, That see this heav'nly light! Prophets and kings desir'd it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare his arm Thro' all the earth abroad; Let ev'ry nation now behold Their Saviour and their God.

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #352 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Great God of wonders! all thy ways Are matchless, godlike, and divine; But thy fair glories of thy grace, More godlike and unrivall'd shine: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 2 Crimes of such horror to forgive, Such guilty daring worms to spare; This is thy grand prerogative, And none shall in the honour share: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 3 Angels and men resign their claim To pity, mercy, love, and grace, These glories crown Jehovah's name With an incomparable blaze: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 4 In wonder lost, with trembling joy, We take the pardon of our God, Pardon for crimes of deepest dye; A pardon seal'd with Jesus' blood: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 5 O may this strange, this matchless grace, This godlike miracle of love, Teach mortal tongues, like those above, Fill the wide earth with grateful praise, Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? Scripture: Micah 7:18

O may his love (immortal flame!) Tune every heart and tongue. 2 His love what mortal thought can reach! What mortal tongue display!

To thee our souls we raise; And to thy matchless bounty rear A monument of praise. 2 Thy mercy gilds the path of life With ev'ry cheering ray; Kindly restrains the rising tear, Or wipes that tear away. 3 When, sunk in guilt, our race approach'd The borders of despair; Thy grace through Jesus' blood proclaim'd A free salvation near. 4 What shall we render, bounteous Lord, For all the grace we see? Alas! the goodness worms can yield Extendeth not to thee. 5 To tents of wo, to beds of pain, Our cheerful feet repair; And, with the gifts thy hand bestows, Relieve the mourners there. 6 The widow's heart shall sing for joy; The orphan shall be glad; And hung'ring souls we'll gladly point To Christ the living bread. 7 Thus, passing through this vale of tears, Our useful light shall shine; And other learn to glorify Our Father's name divine.
