I could not do without Thee

Author: Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-1879 Appears in 193 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ Lyrics: 1 I could not do without Thee, O Saviour of the lost, Whose precious blood redeemed me At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, Thy pardon, Thy precious blood must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. 2 I could not do without Thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But Thou, beloved Saviour, Art all in all to me, And perfect strength in weakness Is theirs who lean on Thee. 3 I could not do without Thee, No other friend can read The spirit's strange deep longings, Interpreting its need; No human heart could enter Each dim recess of mine, And soothe and hush and calm it, O blessed Lord, but Thine. 4 I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneness The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper, "It is I."

Thus Saith the Mercy of the Lord

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the mercy of the Lord: "I'll be a God to thee; I'll bless thy numerous race, and they, Shall be a seed to Me." 2 Abram believed the promised grace, And gave his child to God; But water seals the blessing now, That once was sealed with blood. 3 Jesus the ancient faith confirms, To our forefathers given; He takes young children to His arms, And calls them heirs of heaven. 4 Our God, how faithful are His ways! His love endures the same; Nor from the promise of His grace Blots out His children's name. 5 Thus to the parents and their seed Shall Thy salvation come; And numerous households meet at last In one eternal home.

[Chorus] 3 Father, I have wandered from Thee, Often has my heart gone astray; Crimson do my sins seem to me— Water cannot wash them away.

O may we all one bread, one body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 2 For all thy Church, O Lord, we intercede; Make thou our sad divisions soon to cease; Draw us the nearer each to each we plead, By drawing all to thee, O Prince of Peace; Thus may we all one bread, one body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 3 We pray thee, too, for wand'rers from thy fold; O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep, Back to the faith which saints believed of old, Back to the Church which still that faith doth keep; Soon may we all one bread, one body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity. 4 So, Lord, at length when sacraments shall cease, May we be one with all thy Church above, One with thy saints in one unbroken peace, One with thy saints in one unbounded love; More blessed still in peace and love to be One with the Trinity in Unity.

ENGLISH - 1 Sing, my tongue, the Savior’s glory, Of his flesh the myst'ry sing; Of the Blood, all price exceeding, Shed by our immortal King, Destined, for the world’s redemption, From a noble womb to spring. 2 Of a pure and spotless virgin Born for us on earth below, He, as man, with us conversing, Stayed, the seeds of truth to sow; Then he closed in solemn order Wondrously his life of woe. 3 On the night of that last supper, Seated with his chosen band, He, the Paschal victim eating, First fulfills the Law’s command; Then as food, to the disciples Gives himself with his own hand. 4 Word made flesh, the bread of nature By his word to flesh he turns; Wine into his blood he changes, What though sense no change discerns? Only be the heart in earnest, Faith its lesson quickly learns. 5 Down in adoration falling, This great sacrament we hail; Over ancient forms of worship Newer rites of grace prevail; Faith tells us that Christ is present, When our human senses fail. 6 To the everlasting Father, And the Son who made us free, And the Spirit, God proceeding From them Each eternally, Be salvation, honor, blessing, Might and endless majesty.
