Where Shall My Wondering Soul Begin

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #342 (1989) Topics: Christian Experience Lyrics: Where shall my wondering soul begin? How shall I all to heaven aspire? A slave redeemed from death and sin, a brand plucked from eternal fire, how shall I equal triumphs raise, or sing my great deliverer’s praise? O how shall I the goodness tell, Father, which thou to me hast showed? That I, a child of wrath and hell, I should be called a child of God! Should know, should feel my sins forgiven, blest with this antepast of heaven! And shall I slight my Father’s love, or basely fear his gifts to own? Unmindful of his favors prove, shall I, the hallowed cross to shun, refuse his righteousness to impart, by hiding it within my heart? Outcasts of men, to you I call, harlots, and publicans, and thieves; he spreads his arms to embrace you all, sinners alone his grace receive. No need of Him the righteous have; he came the lost to seek and save. Come, O my guilty brethren, come, groaning beneath your load of sin; his bleeding heart shall make you room, his open side shall take you in. He calls you now, invites you home: Come, O my guilty brethren, come. For you the purple current flowed in pardon from his wounded side, languished for you the eternal God, for you the Prince of Glory died. Believe, and all your sin’s forgiven, only believe--and yours is heaven. Languages: English

I was a grovelling creature once

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #355 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 I was a grovelling creature once, And basely cleav'd to earth; I wanted wisdom to renounce The clod that gave me birth. 2 But God hath upon a worm And sent me from above, Wings, such as clothe an angel's form, The wings of joy and love. 3 With these to Pisgah's top I fly, And there delighted stand, To view beneath a shining sky The spacious promis'd land. 4 The Lord of all the vast domain Has promis'd it to me; The length and breadth of all the plain, As far as faith can see. 5 How glorious is my privilege! To thee for help I call; I stand upon a mountain's edge, Oh save me, lest I fall! 6 Though much exalted by the Lord, My strength is not my own; Then let me tremble at his word, And none shall cast me down.

How can a sinner know

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #356 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 How can a sinner know His sin on earth forgiv'n? How can my gracious Saviour show My name inscrib'd in heav'n! 2 What we have felt and seen With confidence we tell; And publish to the sons of men The signs infallible. 3 We who in Christ believe That he for us hath died, We all his unknown peace receive, And feel his blood applied! 4 Exults our rising soul, Deliver'd of her load, And swells unutterably full Of glory and of God. 5 His love surpasses far The love of all beneath, We find within our hearts, and dare The pointless darts of death. 6 Stronger than death or hell The sacred pow'r we prove; And, conqu'rors of the world we dwell In heav'n who dwell in love. Scripture: 1 John 1:3

Now I have found the ground wherein

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #357 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein Sure my soul’s anchor may remain: The love of God forgiving sin, Through Jesus crucified and slain. His mercy shall unshaken stay, When heav'n and earth have pass'd away. 2 Father! thine everlasting grace Our scanty thought surpasses far; Thine heart still melts with tenderness, Thine arms of love still open are; And Jesus' blood, through earth and skies, Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries. 3 Tho' waves and storms go o’er my head, Tho' strength and health and friends be gone, Tho' joys be wither'd all and dead, Tho' every comfort be withdrawn: On this my steadfast soul relies, Father, thy mercy never dies. 4 Fix'd on this ground will I remain, Tho' my heart fail and flesh decay, This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth’s foundations melt away, Mercy’s full pow'r I then shall prove, Lov'd with an everlasting love.

On the brink of fi'ry ruin

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #358 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 On the brink of fi'ry ruin, Justice, with a flaming sword, Was my guilty soul pursuing When I first beheld my Lord. 2 Terrify'd with Sinai's thunder, Straight I flew to Calvary, Where I saw with love and wonder, Hi by faith who died for me. 3 "Sinner," he exclaim'd, "I've lov'd thee With an everlasting love; Justice has in me approv'd thee; Thou shalt dwell with me above." 4 Sweet as angels' notes in heaven, When to golden harps they sound, Is the voice of sins forgiven, To the soul by satan bound. 5 Sweet as angels' harps in glory, Was that heavenly voice to me, When I saw my Lord before me Bleed and die to set me free! 6 Saints, attend with holy wonder! Sinners, hear and sing his praise! 'Tis the God that holds the thunder Shows himself the God of grace! Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3

I hear a voice that comes from far

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #359 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 I hear a voice that comes from far; From Calvary it sounds abroad; It soothes my soul, and calms my fear; It speaks of pardon bought with blood. 2 And is it true, that many fly The sound that bids my soul rejoice; And rather choose in sin to die, Than turn an ear to mercy’s voice! 3 Alas for those!--the day is near, When mercy will be heard no more; Then will they ask in vain to hear The voice they would not hear before. 4 With such, I own, I once appear'd, But now I know how great their loss; For sweeter sounds were never heard Than mercy utters from the cross.
