Blessed Be the God of Israel

Author: Michael Perry, 1942-1996 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Sin Lyrics: 1 Blessed be the God of Israel who comes to set us free, who visits and redeems us, who grants us liberty. The prophets spoke of mercy, of freedom and release, God shall fulfill the promise and bring the people peace. 2 God from the house of David a child of grace is given; a Savior comes among us to raise us up to heaven. Before him goes the herald, forerunner in the way, the prophet of salvation, the harbinger of day. 3 On those who sit in darkness the sun begins to rise, the dawning of forgiveness upon the sinner’s eyes, God guides the feet of pilgrims along the paths of peace. O bless our God and Savior with songs that never cease! Scripture: Luke 1:5-23 Used With Tune: MERLE'S TUNE

O Jesus, We Adore Thee

We bow our hearts before thee, thy gracious name we sing. That name hath brought salvation, that name in life our stay, our peace, our consolation, when life shall fade away. 2 Yet doth the world disdain thee, still passing by the cross; Lord, may our hearts retain thee; all else we count but loss. Ah, Lord, our sins arraigned thee, and nailed thee to the tree: our pride, our Lord, disdained thee; yet deign our hope to be. 3 O glorious King, we bless thee, no longer pass thee by; O Jesus, we confess thee, the Son enthroned on high. Lord, grant to us remission; life through thy death restore; yea, grant us the fruition of life forevermore. Scripture: Isaiah 53:3-7 Used With Tune: MEIRIONYDD

'Twas for my Sake, eternal GOD

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ cleansing from Sin Lyrics: 1 'Twas for my Sake, eternal GOD, Thy Son sustain'd that heavy Load Of base Reproach and sore Disgrace, And Shame defil'd his sacred Face. 2 The Jews, his Brethren and his Kin, Abus'd the Man that check'd their Sin: While he fulfill'd thy holy Laws That hate him, but without a Cause. 3 [My Father's House, said he, was made, A Place for Worship, not for Trade: Then scatt'ring all their Gold and Brass, He scourg'd the Merchants from the Place.] 4 [Zeal for the Temple of his GOD, Consum'd his Life, expos'd his Blood; Reproaches at thy Glory thrown He felt, and mourn'd 'em as his own.] 5 [His Friends forsook, his Followers fled, While Foes and Arms surround his Head; They curse him with a slad'rous Tongue, And the false Judge maintains the Wrong.] 6 His Life they load with hateful Lies, And charge his Lips with Blasphemies; They nail him to the shameful Tree; There hung the Man that dy'd for me. 7 [Wretches, with Hearts as hard as Stones, Insult his Piety and Groans; Gall was the Food they gave him there, And mock'd his Thirst with Vinegar.] 8 But GOD beheld; and from his Throne Marks out the Men that hate his Son; The Hand that rais'd him from the Dead, Shall pour the Vengeance on their Head. Scripture: Psalm 69:7-36

The workers of iniquity Their deadly shafts prepare; They aim at me their treach'rous words; O save me from their snare. 2 The wicked in their base designs Grow arrogant and bold; Conspiring secretly they think That God will not behold; They search out more iniquity, Their tho'ts and plans are deep, But God will smite, for He is near His saints to guard and keep. 3 The wicked, by their sins o'ercome, Shall soon be bro't to shame; The hand of God shall yet appear, And all shall fear His Name. The just shall triumph in the Lord, Their trust shall be secure, And endless glory then shall crown The upright and the pure. Scripture: Psalm 64 Used With Tune: MONORA
