Our God so loved the world that He

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #327 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Our God so loved the world that He Gave His own Son, and did decree That all who would in Him believe Should everlasting life receive. 2 Christ Jesus is the ground of faith, Who was made flesh and suffered death; All that confide in Him alone Have built on this chief Corner-stone. 3 God would not have the sinner die, His Son with saving grace is nigh, His Spirit in the Word doth teach How man the blessed goal may reach. 4 Be of good cheer, for God's own Son Forgives all sins which thou hast done; Thou'rt justified by Jesus' blood, Thy baptism grants the highest good. 5 If thou be sick, if death draw near, This truth thy troubled heart can cheer; Christ Jesus saves my soul from death, That is the firmest ground of faith. 6 Glory to God the Father, Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One! To Thee, O blessed Trinity, Be praise now and eternally! Languages: English

Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #362 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Order of Salvation Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Lord, attend Thy fallen creature's cry; And show Thyself the sinner's Friend, And set me up on high: From hell's oppressive power, From earth and sin release; And to Thy Father's grace restore, And to Thy perfect peace. 2 Thy Blood and Righteousness I make my only plea; My present and eternal peace Are both derive from Thee: Rivers of life divine From Thee, their fountain, flow; And all who know that love of Thine, The joy of angels know. 3 O then, impute, impart To me Thy righteousness, And let me taste how good Thou art, How full of truth and grace: That Thou canst here forgive Grant me to testify, And justified by faith to live, And in that faith to die.

By Grace I'm Saved, Grace Free and Boundless

Author: Christian L. Scheidt Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #373 (1941) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless; My soul, believe and doubt it not. Why stagger at this word of promise? Hath Scripture ever falsehood taught? Nay; then this word must true remain; By grace thou, too, shalt heav'n obtain. 2 By grace! None dare lay claim to merit; Our works and conduct have no worth. God in His love sent our Redeemer, Christ Jesus, to this sinful earth; His death did for our sins atone, And we are saved by grace alone. 3 By grace! Oh, mark this word of promise When thou art by thy sins opprest, When Satan plagues thy troubled conscience, And when thy heart is seeking rest. What reason cannot comprehend God by His grace to thee doth send. 4 By grace God's Son, our only Savior, Came down to earth to bear our sin. Was it because of thine own merit That Jesus died thy soul to win? Nay, it was grace, and grace alone, That bro't Him from His heav'nly throne. 5 By grace! This ground of faith is certain; So long as God is true, it stands. What saints have penned by inspiration, What in His Word our God commands, What our whole faith must rest upon, Is grace alone, grace in His Son. 6 By grace to timid hearts that tremble, In tribulation's furnace tried-- By grace, despite all fear and trouble, The Father's heart is open wide. Where could I help and strength secure If grace were not my anchor sure? 7 By grace! On this I'll rest when dying; In Jesus' promise I rejoice; For though I know my heart's condition, I also know my Savior's voice. My heart is glad, all grief has flown, Since I am saved by grace alone. Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:8-9 Languages: English Tune Title: O DASS ICH TAUSEND

If Thy Beloved Son, O God

Author: Johann Heermann; Unknown Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #375 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 If Thy beloved Son, O God, Had not to earth descended And in our mortal flesh and blood Had not sin's power ended, Then this poor, wretched soul of mine In hell eternally would pine Because of its transgression. 2 But now I find sweet peace and rest, Despair no more reigns o'er me; No more am I by sin opprest, For Christ has borne sin for me. Upon the cross for me He died That, reconciled, I might abide With Thee, my God, forever. 3 I trust in Him with all my heart; Now all my sorrow ceases; His words abiding peace impart, His blood from guilt releases. Free grace thro' Him I now obtain; He washes me from ev'ry stain, And pure I stand before Him. 4 All righteousness by works is vain; The Law brings condemnation; True righteousness by faith I gain; Christ's work is my salvation. His death, that perfect sacrifice, Has paid the all-sufficient price; In Him my hope is anchored. 5 My guilt, O Father, Thou hast laid On Christ, Thy Son, my Savior. Lord Jesus, Thou my debt hast paid And gained for me God's favor. O Holy Ghost, Thou Fount of grace, The good in me to Thee I trace; In faith do Thou preserve me. Amen.

Now I have found the ground wherein

Author: J. A. Rothe Hymnal: Hymn Book #69 (1884) Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein Sure my soul’s anchor may remain; The wounds of Jesus, for my sin Before the world’s foundation slain; Whose mercy shall unshaken stay, When heaven and earth are fled away. 2 Father, Thine everlasting grace Our feeble thought surpasses far; Thy heart still melts with tenderness, Thine arms of love still open are, Returning sinners to receive, That mercy they may taste, and live. 3 O Love, thou bottomless abyss! My sins are swallowed up in Thee: Covered is my unrighteousness, Nor spot of guilt remains on me; While Jesus’ blood, through earth and skies, Mercy--free, boundless mercy--cries. 4 With faith I plunge me in this sea, Here is my hope, my joy, my rest; Hither, when hell assails, I flee, I look into my Saviour’s breast: Away, sad doubt and anxious fear! Mercy is all that’s written there. 5 Though waves and storms go o’er my head, Though strength, and health, and friends be gone; Though joys be withered all and dead, Though every comfort be withdrawn: On this my steadfast soul relies, Father, Thy mercy never dies. 6 Fixed on this ground will I remain, Though my heart fail, and flesh decay; This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth’s foundations melt away, Mercy’s full power I then shall prove, Loved with an everlasting love.

This fount of our salvation As long as God is truth shall flow. What all the men of God have written, What God's own words so plainly show, What faith alone can rest upon Is grace, In Christ, God's only Son. 5 By grace! Be this in death my comfort; Despite my fears, 'tis well with me. I know my sin in all its greatness, But also Him who sets me free. My heart to naught but joy gives place, Since I am saved by grace, by grace. Languages: English Tune Title: ELBE

There is a Fountain filled with Blood

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Concordia #124 (1918) Topics: The Christian Life Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners, plung'd beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, tho' vile as he, Wash all my sins away, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more, Be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be, till I die, And shall be, till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave, Lies silent in the grave.

Paulsen Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #130 (1930) Meter: 11.10.11.10.11.11 Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Children of God, born again of His Spirit, Never we cease in His name to rejoice, Jesus believing, and saved by His merit, Come we to God with a jubilant voice. Let then each voice to the Father uplifted Widely proclaim that with grace we are gifted. 2 Evil by nature, and dead in transgression, Cold as a statue, and hard as a stone, This was our state when He, moved by compassion, Chose in His wisdom to call us His own. Led by His Spirit and called by His favor, Heard we the life-giving voice of our Savior. 3 When we consider the tho'ts of our Father, As He elected us children by grace, Sending His Spirit with mercy to gather Us who had fallen and turned from His face, How can we help but be moved by His favor, And thus acclaim Him our Father forever? 4 What can be charged to the Father's elected Whom He made just in Christ Jesus, our Lord? Here is sweet balsam for all the afflicted, Grace for the lost in His life-giving Word. Faith, breaking thro' ev'ry fear of damnation, Finds in the Savior the pledge of salvation.

Rothe Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #131 (1930) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 My soul has found the sure foundation, That holds its anchor evermore; The wounds of Christ are my salvation, As planned by God in days of yore; Unmoved shall this foundation stay, Though earth and heaven pass away. 2 God would not have one soul to perish, But wills that we should live for aye; His Son, whom we as Savior cherish, Came down to earth our debt to pay; And now the Lamb for sinners slain Admission to our hearts would gain. 3 O Fount of love and mercies tender, By Jesus' blood, for sinners spilt, My wounded soul Thou whole dost render And free from ev'ry trace of guilt, Because the blood of Christ doth cry For mercy to Thy throne on high. 4 Thy mercies ever contemplating, My faith shall ne'er to doubt give way, And though in torments unabating My sins accuse me night and day, I shall approach the mercy seat And find Thy heart with love replete. 5 Be all my ways to Him commended Whose mercy is a boundless sea. To Him, until my days are ended, My troubled heart shall ever flee, And, by His love and mercy blest, Find comfort, solace, peace and rest. 6 On this foundation e'er remaining While in this transient world I dwell, And mercy every hour obtaining, I shall not fail its praise to tell, Until, in blest eternity, Unfathomed love my song shall be.
