I was a grovelling creature once

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 I was a grovelling creature once, And basely cleav'd to earth; I wanted wisdom to renounce The clod that gave me birth. 2 But God hath upon a worm And sent me from above, Wings, such as clothe an angel's form, The wings of joy and love. 3 With these to Pisgah's top I fly, And there delighted stand, To view beneath a shining sky The spacious promis'd land. 4 The Lord of all the vast domain Has promis'd it to me; The length and breadth of all the plain, As far as faith can see. 5 How glorious is my privilege! To thee for help I call; I stand upon a mountain's edge, Oh save me, lest I fall! 6 Though much exalted by the Lord, My strength is not my own; Then let me tremble at his word, And none shall cast me down.

Shout, for the blessed Jesus reigns

Author: Benjamin Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Grace Converting Lyrics: 1 Shout, for the blessed Jesus reigns; Through distant lands his triumphs spread; And sinners, freed from endless pains, Own him their Saviour and their Head. 2 He calls his chosen form afar, They all at Zion's gates arrive; Those who were dead in sin before By sovereign grace are made alive. 3 Gentiles and Jews his laws obey; Nations remote their off'rings bring, And unconstrained their homage pay To their exalted God and King. 4 O may his holy church increase, His Word and Spirit still prevail, While angels celebrate his praise, And saints his growing glories hail. 5 Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb, From all below, and all above! In lofty songs exalt his Name, In songs as lasting as his love. Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 66:20 Used With Tune: TRURO

I hear a voice that comes from far

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 I hear a voice that comes from far; From Calvary it sounds abroad; It soothes my soul, and calms my fear; It speaks of pardon bought with blood. 2 And is it true, that many fly The sound that bids my soul rejoice; And rather choose in sin to die, Than turn an ear to mercy’s voice! 3 Alas for those!--the day is near, When mercy will be heard no more; Then will they ask in vain to hear The voice they would not hear before. 4 With such, I own, I once appear'd, But now I know how great their loss; For sweeter sounds were never heard Than mercy utters from the cross.
