Gerat Is Our Redeeming Lord

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 20 hymnals First Line: Great is our redeeming Lord Lyrics: 1 Great is our redeeming Lord, In, power, and truth, and grace; Him, by highest heaven adored, His Church on earth doth praise: In the city of our God, In His holy mount below, Publish, spread His name abroad, And all His greatness show. 2 For Thy loving kindness, Lord, We in Thy temple stay; Here Thy faithful love record, Thy saving power display: With Thy name Thy praise is known, Glorious Thy perfections shine; Earth’s remotest bounds shall own Thy works are all divine. 3 See the Gospel Church secure, And founded on a rock; All her promises are sure; Her bulwarks who can shock? Count! her every precious shrine; Tell, to after ages tell, Fortified by power divine, The church can never fail. 4 Zion’s God is all our own, Who on His love rely; We His pardoning love have known, And live to Christ and die: To the new Jerusalem He our faithful guide shall be; Him we claim, and rest in Him, Through all eternity.

None Is Like Jeshurun's God

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 31 hymnals First Line: None is like Jeshurun’s God Lyrics: 1 None is like Jeshurun’s God, So great, so strong, so high; Lo! He spreads His wings abroad, He rides upon the sky! Israel, His first born son, God, th’eternal God is thine, See Him in thy help come down, The excellence divine. 2 Thee the great Jehovah deigns To succor and defend; Thee th’eternal God sustains, Thy maker, and thy friend; Sinner, what hast thou to dread? Safe from all impending harms, God hath underneath thee spread His everlasting arms. 3 God is thine; disdain to fear The enemy within; God shall in thy flesh appear, And make an end to sin; God the man of sin shall slay, Fill thee with triumphant joy; God shall thrust him out, and say "Destroy them all, destroy." 4 All the struggle then is o’er, And wars and fightings cease; Israel then shall sin no more, But dwell in perfect peace; All his enemies are gone, Sin shall have in him no part, Israel now shall dwell alone With Jesus in his heart. 5 In a land of corn and wine His lot shall be below; Comforts there, and blessings join, And milk and honey flow; Jacob’s well is in his soul, Gracious dew his heavens distill, Fill his soul already full, And shall forever fill. 6 Blest, O Israel, art thou, What people is like thee? Saved from sin by Jesus now, Thou art and still shalt be. Jesus is thy seven-fold shield, Jesus is thy flaming sword; Earth and hell and sin shall yield To God’s almighty Word. 7 God’s almighty Word shall stand, Thine enemies shall fall, Fade away at His command, And sink and perish all; Liars shall they all be found, All who cried, "It cannot be! Sin must always keep its ground Must always dwell in thee." 8 Christ shall make Thee free indeed, When He appears within; Thou on self and pride shalt tread, On all the strength of sin; Thou shalt more than conquer it, Thou shalt see it all depart, See it dead beneath thy feet, No longer in thy heart. 9 God, the gracious God and true, Hath spoke the faithful Word; He the mighty work shall do, Our trust is in the Lord: He the mountain shall remove, He the sinner shall restore; He shall me perfect in love, And I shall sin no more.

Be our joyful song today, Jesus, only Jesus, He who took our sins away, Jesus, only Jesus; Name with every blessing rife, Be our joy and hope thro’ life, Be our strength in every strife, Jesus, only Jesus. 2. Once we wandered far from God, Knowing not of Jesus, Treading still the downward road, Leading far from Jesus. Till the Spirit taught us how, ’Neath the Savior’s yoke to bow, And we fain would follow now, Jesus, only Jesus. 3. Be our trust thro’ years to come, Jesus, only Jesus. Password to the heav’nly home, Jesus, only Jesus; When from sin and sorrow free, On thro’ all eternity, This our theme and song shall be, Jesus, only Jesus. Used With Tune: LAS VEGAS

How They Sing Up Yonder

Author: Harriet E. Jones Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: When the sinner turns from sin Lyrics: 1 When the sinner turns from sin, How they sing up yonder! Comes to Christ sweet peace to win, How they sing up yonder! Asks for cleansing in the blood, Sinks beneath the healing flood, Rises, cleansed and owned of God, How they sing up yonder! 2 When the wanderer seeks his home, How they sing up yonder! Just a servant to become, How they sing up yonder! Leaves the byways cold and bare, Seeks again a Father’s care, All His wealth of love to share, How they sing up yonder! 3 Brother, would you join the song, In the home up yonder? Sing while ages roll along, In the home up yonder! Then forsake the paths so cold, Fly to Jesus and His fold, That your name may be enrolled, In the home up yonder!

Once A Woman Silent Stood

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once a woman silent stood While Jesus sat at meat; From her eyes she poured a flood, To wash His sacred feet: Shame and wonder, joy and love, All at once possessed her mind, That she e’er so vile could prove, Yet now forgiveness find. 2 "How came this vile woman here? Will Jesus notice such? Sure, if He a prophet were, He would disdain her touch!" Simon thus, with scornful heart, Slighted one whom Jesus loved, But her Savior took her part, And thus his pride reproved. 3 "If two men in debt were bound, One less, the other more; Fifty, or five hundred pound, And both alike were poor; Should the lender both forgive, When he saw them both distressed; Which of them would you believe, Engaged to love him best?" 4 "Surely he who much did owe," The Pharisee replied; Then our Lord, “By judging so, Thou dost for her decide: Simon, if like her you knew, How much you forgiveness need; You like her had acted too, And welcomed Me indeed! 5 "When the load of sin is felt, And much forgiveness known; Then the heart of course will melt, Though hard before as stone: Blame not then, her love and tears, Greatly she in debt has been: But I have removed her fears, And pardoned all her sin." 6 When I read this woman’s case, Her love and humble zeal; I confess, with shame of face, My heart is made of steel; Much has been forgiv’n to me, Jesus paid my heavy score, What a creature must I be, That I can love no more!
