Lord, didst thou die, but not for me?
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #303 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Lord, didst thou die, but not for me?
Am I forbid to trust thy blood?
Hast thou not pardons, rich and free?
And grace, an overwhelming flood?
2 Presumptuous thought! to fix the bound--
To limit mercy's sovereign reign:
What other happy souls have found,
I'll seek; nor shall I seek in vain.
3 I own my guilt; my sins confess;
Can men or devils make them more?
Of crimes, already numberless,
Vain the attempt to swell the score.
4 Were the black list before my sight,
While I remember thou hast died,
'Twould only urge my speedier flight
To seek salvation at thy side.
5 Low at thy feet I'll cast me down,
To thee reveal my guilt and fear;
And--if thou spurn me from thy throne--
I'll be the first who perish'd there.
Lord, didst thou die, but not for me?
Far from the fold, O God, my feet
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #304 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Far from thy fold, O God, my feet
Once moved in error's devious maze;
Nor found religious duties sweet,
Now sought thy face, nor lov'd thy ways.
2 With tend'rest voice thou bad'st me flee
The paths which thou couldst ne'er approve;
And gently drew my soul to thee,
With cords of sweet, eternal love.
3 Now to thy footstool, Lord,I fly,
And low in self-abasement fall;
A vile, a helpless worm, I lie,
And thou, my God, art all in all.
4 Dearer, far dearer to my heart
Than all the joys that earth can give;
From fame, from wealth, from friends I'd part,
Beneath thy countenance to live.
5 And when, in smiling friendship drest,
Death bids me quit this mortal frame,
Gently reclin'd on Jesus' breast,
My latest breath shall bless his name.
6 Then my unfetter'd soul shall rise,
And soar above yon starry spheres,
Join the fall chorus of the skies,
And sing thy praise thro' endless years.
Far from the fold, O God, my feet
Let carnal minds the world pursue
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #307 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Let carnal minds the world pursue,
It has no charms for me;
Once, I admir'd its trifles too,
But grace has set me free.
2 Its fading charms no longer please,
No more content afford;
Far from my heart be joys like these,
Now I have seen the Lord.
3 As by the light of op'ning day,
The stars are all conceal'd;
So earthly pleasures fade away,
When Jesus is reveal'd.
4 Creatures no more divide my choice--
I bid them all depart;
His name, and love, and gracious voice,
Have fix'd my roving heart.
5 Now, Lord, I would be thine alone,
And wholly live to thee;
But may I hope that thou wilt own
A worthless worm like me?
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17
Let carnal minds the world pursue
By various maxims, forms, and rules
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #311 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 By various maxims, forms, and rules,
That pass for wisdom in the schools,
I strove my passion to refrain;
But all my efforts prov'd in vain.
2 But since the Saviour I have known,
My rules are all reduced to one;--
I keep my Lord, by faith, in view.
This strength supplies and motives too.
3 I see him lead a suff'ring life,
Patient amidst reproach and strife;
And from this pattern courage take
To bear and suffer for his sake.
4 Upon the cross I see him bleed,
And by the sight from guilt am freed.
This sight destroys the life of sin,
And quickens heav'nly life within.
5 To look to Jesus as he rose,
Confirms my faith, disarms my foes.
The world I shame and overcome,
By pointing to my Saviour's tomb.
6 I see him look with pity down,
And hold in view the conq'ror's crown.
If pressed with griefs and cares before,
My soul revives, and asks no more.
7 By faith I see the hour at hand,
When in his presence I shall stand.
Then it will be my endless bliss,
To see him where and as he is.
By various maxims, forms, and rules
Not by the law of innocence
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #318 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The gracious nature of this salvation Lyrics: 1 Not by the law of innocence
Can Adam's sons arrive at heaven;
New works can give us no pretence
To have our ancient sins forgiven:
2 Not the best deeds that we have done,
Can make a wounded conscience whole!
Faith is the grace,--and faith alone,
That flies to Christ, and saves the soul.
3 Lord, I believe thy heavenly word!
Fain would I have my soul renew'd:
I mourn for sin, and trust the Lord
To have it pardon'd and subdu'd.
4 O may thy grace its power display!
Let guilt and death no longer reign;
Save me in thine appointed way,
Nor let my humble faith be vain! Scripture: Romans 1:16
Not by the law of innocence
Join all the glorious names
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #332 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names
Of wisdom, love, and pow'r,
That mortals ever knew,
That angels ever bore:
All are too mean
To speak his worth,
Too mean to set
My Saviour forth.
2 But O what gentle terms,
What condescending ways,
Doth our Redeemer use,
To teach his heav'nly grace!
Mine eyes with joy
And wonder see,
What forms of love
He bears for me.
3 Array'd in mortal flesh,
He like an angel stands,
And holds the promises
And pardons in his hands;
Commmission'd from
His Father's throne,
To make his grace
To mortals known.
4 Great Prophet of my God!
My tongue would bless thy name:
By thee the joyful news
Of our salvation came;
The joyful news
Of sin forgiv'n,
Of hell subdu'd,
And peace with heav'n.
Join all the glorious names
Welcome, welcome, dear Redeemer
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #305 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Welcome, welcome, dear Redeemer,
Welcome to this heart of mine;
Lord, I make a full surrender,
Ev'ry pow'r and thought be thine,
Thine entirely,
Thro' eternal ages thine.
2 Known to all to be thy mansion,
Earth and hell will disappear;
Or in vain attempt possession;
When they find the Lord is near--
Shout, O Zion!
Shout, ye saints, the Lord is here!
Welcome, welcome, dear Redeemer
I send the joys of earth away
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #310 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 I send the joys of earth away;
Away, ye tempters of the mind,
False as the smooth deceitful sea,
And empty as the whistling wind.
2 Your streams were floating me along
Down to the gulf of black despair,
And whilst I listened to your song,
Your streams had e'en conveyed me there.
3 Lord, I adore thy matchless grace,
That warned me of that dark abyss,
That drew me from those treacherous seas,
And bid me seek superior bliss.
4 Now to the shining realms above
I stretch my hands and glance mine eyes;
O for the pinions of a dove,
To bear me to the upper skies;
5 There from the bosom of my God,
Oceans of endless pleasure roll;
There would I fix my last abode,
And drown the sorrows of my soul. Scripture: Hebrews 10:39
I send the joys of earth away
Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #313 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss,
And saves me from its snares;
Its aid in ev'ry duty brings,
And softens all my cares:
2 Extinguishes the thirst of sin,
And lights the sacred fire
Of love to God and heav'nly things,
And feeds the pure desire.
3 The wounded conscience know its pow'r
The healing balm to give;
That balm the saddest heart can cheer,
And make the dying live.
4 Wide it unveils celestial worlds,
Where deathless pleasures reign;
And bids me seek my portion there,
Nor bids me seek in vain.
5 Shows me the precious promise seal'd
With the Redeemer's blood;
And helps my feeble hope to rest
Upon a faithful God.
6 There, there unshaken would I rest,
Till this vile body dies;
And then on Faith's triumphant wings
At once to glory rise.
Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss
Not all the blood of beasts
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #320 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The gracious nature of this salvation Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts,
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain.
2 But Christ, the heav'nly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away;
A sacrifice of nobler name,
And richer blood than they.
3 My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of thine--
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.
4 My soul looks back to see
The burdens thou didst bear,
When hanging on the cursed tree,
I know her guilt was there.
5 Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
And sing his bleeding love. Scripture: John 1:29
Not all the blood of beasts
