Chorus: O the love that sought me! O the blood that bought me! O the grace that brought me to the fold, Wondrous grace that brought me to the fold! 2 He washed the bleeding sin-wounds, And poured in oil and wine; He whispered to assure me, “I’ve found thee, thou art Mine:” I never heard a sweeter voice - It made my aching heart rejoice! [Chorus] 3 He pointed to the nail-prints - For me His blood was shed; A mocking crown so thorny Was placed upon His head: I wondered what He saw in me, To suffer such deep agony. [Chorus] 4 I’m sitting in His presence, The sunshine of His face; While with adoring wonder His blessings I retrace: It seems as if eternal days Are far too short to sound His praise. [Chorus] 5 So while the hours are passing, All now is perfect rest; I’m waiting for the morning, The brightest and the best, When He will call us to His side, To be with Him, His spotless bride. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [In tenderness He sought me]

Hence shall his sovereign throne arise; His kingdom is begun. 3 His cross a sure foundation laid For glory and renown, When through the regions of the dead He passed to reach the crown. 4 Exalted at his Father’s side, Sits our victorious Lord; To heaven and hell his hands divide The vengeance or reward. 5 The saints from his propitious eye Await their several crowns; And all the sons of darkness fly The terror of his frowns.

Jesus our heavenly Warrior is

Author: W. Gadsby Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus our heavenly Warrior is, He fights our battles well; His wisdom, love, and power displays, And conquers death and hell. 2 When this almighty Warrior stood The church’s woes to bear, Sin, Satan, and the curse of God, In blazing wrath drew near. 3 He bore their every poisonous dart, Nor from God’s vengeance fled; Hell seized his agonisèd heart, And, lo! he bowed his head. 4 He stained his garments in their blood, And, O victorious King! In triumph rose the conquering God, Sweet victory to sing. 5 He satisfied the claims of law, In that tremendous day; Let saints from hence their comfort draw, And sing their cares away. 6 O for a living faith to view The victories of the Lamb; And sweetly lean upon him too, Nor fear to trust his name. Scripture: Isaiah 9:5
