O Wondrous and myst'ry great

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: On Redemption Lyrics: 1 O Wondrous and myst'ry great, On which all men should meditate: Jesus, the blessed Lamb of God, Came to redeem us with his blood. 2 The sons of men were doom'd to be Condemn'd to all eternity. Not men or angels could restore, Or ransome man from Satan's pow'r. 3 Had all the hosts of heav'n conspir'd, To do what justice had requir'd: All their efforts would never do, The race of Adam fell too low. 4 Yea, far beyond the reach of all Did Adam with his children fall; By none on earth or yet in heav'n Could sure relief to them be giv'n. 5 None else but Christ, both God and man, Could e'er complete that glorious plan; It was himself alone could be, The Ransom that could set them free. 6 Perfect obedience he did yield, Till law and prophets were fulfill'd; And all demands were satisfied, When Christ the mighty Saviour died.

Bury'd in Shadows of the Night

Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: Redemption in Christ Lyrics: 1 Bury'd in Shadows of the Night, We lie till Christ restores the Light; Wisdom descends to heal the Blind, And chase the Darkness of the Mind. 2 Our guilty Souls are drown'd in Tears Till thy atoning Blood appears; Then we awake from deep Distress, And sing, The Lord our Righteousness. 3 Our very Frame is mix'd with Sin, His Spirit makes our Natures clean; Such Virtues from his Suff'rings flow, At once to cleanse and pardon too. 4 Jesus beholds where Satan reigns, Binding his Slaves in heavy Chains; He sets the Prisoners free, and breaks The Iron Bondage from our Necks. 5 Poor helpless Worms in Thee possess Grace, Wisdom, Pow'r and Righteousness; Thou art our mighty All, and we Give our whole selves, O Lord, to Thee. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:30

Hvorledes skal jeg møde

Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Redemption Lyrics: 1 Hvorledes skal jeg møde Og favne dig, min Skat, Du skjønne Morgenrøde Mod al min Jammers Nat? Min Jesu, sig, hvorledes Mit arme Hjerte skal Opsmykkes og beredes Dig til en Brude-Sal. 2 Dit Zion Palmer svinger Til evig Seiers Tegn Og Frydens Tone klinger I Naadens blide Egn; At brede ud din Ære Min Tunge er bered, Og alt mit Liv skal være Din Lov og Kjærlighed. 3 Hvor har du, milde Hjerte, Dog ingen Møie spart, At dæmpe al den Smerte, Som klemte mig saa hart; Da jeg i Mørkheds Sæde Og Satans Rige sad, Da kom du selv, min Glæde, Og gjorde mig saa glad. 4 Jeg laa i Baand og Fængsel, Du førte mig herud; Jeg stod i Spot og Trængsel Da tog du mig til Brud; For mig at saa ophøiet, Du bar min Skam og Brøst, Hvad du saa tungt har pløiet, Er mig en evig Høst. 5 Ei andet fra dit Rige Har draget dig herned, End din den uden Lige Bundløse Kjærlighed, Hvormed du vilde drage Al Verden til dit Bryst, Og vende al dens Plage Til Herlighed og Lyst. 6 Kom, bange Sjæl! at skrive Dig det i Hjertet ind, Lad denne Glæde blive Indtrykt i Sjæl og Sind, At Hjælpen er tilstede, At Jesus selv er her; Han vil dig trøste, glæde Og altid have kjær. 7 Du tør ei heller klage, At du ham ei kan faa, Han kommer selv at tage Dig ud af Jammers Vraa, Han kommer selv, han kommer, At dæmpe al din Ve, Og gjør en liflig Sommer Af al din Trængsels Sne. 8 Lad dig da ei forskrækkes Af dine Synders Tal, Din Jesus de tildækkes Og vist udslette skal; Han kommer fuld af Naade Til arme Synd'res Trøst, Vil dæmpe deres Vaade, Som føle deres Brøst. 9 Lad dig kun ikke true Af Satans List og Mord, Din Jesus kan ham kue, Det koster kun et Ord; Han gaar med dig i Striden Med Konge-magt og Mod, Al Magt mod hans er liden, Og daaner for hans Fod. 10 Han kommer og vil dømme, At give hver sin Del: De Onde Svovel-Strømme, De Gode Himlen hel; Ak kom, vor Sol og Glæde! Kom hent din lille Flok Til Himlens Brudesæde! Saa har den Glæde nok.

When, marshall'd on the nightly plain

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 485 hymnals Topics: Thanksgiving For Redemption Lyrics: 1 When, marshall'd on the nightly plain, The glitt'ring hosts bestud the sky, One star alone, of all the train, Can fix the sinner’s wand'ring eye. 2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks, From ev'ry host, from ev'ry gem; But one alone the Saviour speaks, It is the Star of Bethlehem. 3 Once on the raging seas I rode, The storm was loud--the night was dark, The ocean yawn'd--and rudely blow'd The wind that toss'd my found'ring bark. 4 Deep horror then my vitals froze, Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem; When suddenly a star arose-- It was the Star of Bethlehem. 5 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. 6 Now safely moor'd--my perils o’er, I’ll sing, first in night’s diadem, Forever, and forevermore, The Star--the Star of Bethlehem!
