Author of faith, eternal word

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: Confession of Faith Lyrics: 1 Author of faith, eternal word, whose Spirit breathes the active flame - faith, like its Finisher and Lord, today as yesterday the same: 2 to you our humble hearts aspire, and ask the gift unspeakable; increase in us the kindled fire, in us the work of faith fulfil. 3 By faith we know you strong to save; your saving presence let us know; Whate'er we hope, by faith we have, future and past are present now. 4 To us who in your name believe eternal life with you is given; into ourselves we all receive, pardon, and happiness, and heaven. 5 The things unknown to feeble sense, unseen by reason's glimmering ray, with strong, commanding evidence, their heavenly origin display. 6 Faith lends its realizing light, the clouds disperse, the shadows fly, the Invisible appears in sight, and God is seen by mortal eye. Scripture: 1 John 3:18-22 Used With Tune: WARRINGTON

Not what I feel or do can give me peace with God; not all my prayers and sighs and tears can bear my awful load. 2 Your voice alone, O Lord, can speak to me of grace; your power alone, O Son of God, can all my sin erase. No other work but yours, no other blood will do; no strength but that which is divine can bear me safely through. 3 I praise the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; and with unfaltering lip and heart I call this Savior mine. My Lord has saved my life and freely pardon gives; I love because he first loved me, I live because he lives. Scripture: John 14:19 Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

Great God, should thy severer eye, And thine impartial hand, Mark and revenge iniquity, No mortal flesh could stand. But there are pardons with my God For crimes of high degree; Thy Son has bought them with his blood, To draw us near to thee. [I wait for thy salvation, Lord, With strong desires I wait; My soul, invited by thy word, Stands watching at thy gate.] [Just as the guards that keep the night Long for the morning skies, Watch the first beams of breaking light, And meet them with their eyes; So waits my soul to see thy grace, And, more intent than they, Meets the first openings of thy face, And finds a brighter day.] [Then in the Lord let Isr'el trust, Let Isr'el seek his face; The Lord is good as well as just, And plenteous is his grace. There's full redemption at his throne For sinners long enslaved; The great Redeemer is his Son, And Isr'el shall be saved.] Scripture: Psalm 130

Psalm 130

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 106 hymnals Topics: Despair deliverance from it; Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon; Conscience its guilt relieved; Guilt of conscience relieved; Justification free; Distress relieved; Faith in Divine grace and power; Patience in darkness; Backsliding soul pardoned; Waiting for answer to prayer; Comfort and pardon; Grace pardoning; Pardon plentiful with God First Line: From deep distress and troubled thoughts Lyrics: From deep distress and troubled thoughts To thee, my God, I raised my cries; If thou severely mark our faults, No flesh can stand before thine eyes. But thou hast built thy throne of grace Free to dispense thy pardons there, That sinners may approach thy face, And hope and love, as well as fear. As the benighted pilgrims wait, And long, and wish for breaking day, So waits my soul before thy gate; When will my God his face display? My trust is fixed upon thy word, Nor shall I trust thy word in vain; Let mourning souls address the Lord, And find relief from all their pain. Great is his love, and large his grace, Through the redemption of his Son; He turns our feet from sinful ways, And pardons what our hands have done. Scripture: Psalm 130
