Of him who did salvation bring

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 356 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Of him who did salvation bring I could forever think and sing; Arise, ye guilty, he'll forgive; Arise, ye needy, he'll relieve. 2 Ask but his grace, and lo, ’tis given, Ask, and he turns your hell to heaven; Tho' sin and sorrow wound my soul, Jesus, thy balm will make it whole, 3 to shame our sins he blush'd in blood, He clos'd his eyes to show us God; Let all the world fall down and know, That none but God such love can show. 4 'Tis thee I love, for thee alone I shed my tears and make my moan! Where'er I am, where'er I move, I meet the object of my love. 5 Insatiate to this spring I fly; I drink, and yet am ever dry; Ah! who against thy charms is proof? Ah! who that loves can love enough?

Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims His various and his saving names. O may they not be heard alone, But by our sure experience known. 2 Awake, our noblest pow'rs to bless The God of Abra'm, God of peace; Now by a dearer title known, Father and God of Christ his Son. 3 Through ev'ry age his gracious ear Is open to his servants' pray'r; Nor can one humble soul complain, That it hath sought its God in vain. 4 What unbelieving heart shall dare In whispers to suggest a fear, While still he owns his ancient name, The same his pow'r, his love the same! 5 To thee our souls in faith arise, To thee we lift expecting eyes, And boldly through the desert tread, For God will guard, where God shall lead.

Tis by the faith of joys to come

Lord, we confess our numerous faults

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Lord, we confess our numerous faults, How great our guilt has been! Foolish and vain were all our thoughts, And all our lives were sin. 2 But, O my soul, for ever praise, For ever love his name Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways Of folly, sin, and shame. 3 'Tis not by works of righteousness Which our own hands have done; But we are sav'd by sovereign grace Abounding through his Son. 4 'Tis from the mercy of our God That all our hopes begin; 'Tis by the water and the blood Our souls are wash'd from sin. 5 'Tis through the purchase of his death Who hung upon the tree, The Spirit is sent down to breathe On such dry bones as we. 6 Rais'd from the dead we live anew; And, justified by grace, We shall appear in glory too, And see our Father's face. Scripture: Titus 3:3

Jesus, my Saviour, Brother, Friend

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 88 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour, Brother, Friend, On whom I cast my every care, On whom for all things I depend, Inspire, and then accept my prayer. 2 If I have tasted of thy grace, The grace that sure salvation brings; If with me now thy Spirit stays, And hov'ring hides me in his wings: 3 Still let him with my weakness stay, Nor for a moment’s space depart; Evil and danger turn away, And keep, till he renews my heart. 4 When to the right or left I stray, His voice behind me may I hear, "Return, and walk in Christ thy way, Fly back to Christ, for sin is near." 5 Jesus, I fain would walk in thee, From nature’s every path retreat; Thou art my way, my leader be, And set upon the rock my feet. 6 Uphold me, Saviour, or I fall; O reach me out Thy gracious hand: Only on thee for help I call; Only by faith in thee I stand.

In vain would boasting reason find

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 In vain would boating reason find The path to happiness and God; Her weak directions leave the mind Bewilder'd in a doubtful road. 2 Jesus, thy words alone impart Eternal life; on these I live; Diviner comforts cheer my heart Than all the pow'rs of nature give. 3 Here let my constant feet abide; Thou art the true, the living way: Let thy good Spirit be my guide To the bright realms of endless day. 4 The various forms that men devise To shake my faith with treach'rous art, I scorn as vanity and lies, And bind thy gospel to my heart.

We sing the wise, the gracious plan

Meter: Irregular Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 We sing the wise, the gracious plan, Which God devis'd ere time began, At length disclos'd in all its light; We bless the wondrous birth of love, Which beams around us from above, With grace so free and hope so bright. 2 Here has the wise eternal mind In Christ, their common head, conjoined Gentiles and Jews, and earth and heaven. Through him from the great Father's throne, Rivers of bliss come rolling down, And endless peace and life are giv'n. 3 No more the awful cherubs guard The tree of life with flaming sword, To drive afar man's trembling race. At Salem's pearly gates they stand, And smiling wait, a friendly band, To welcome strangers to the place. 4 While we expect that glorious sight, Love shall our hearts with theirs unite, And ardent hope our bosoms raise. From earth's low cottages of clay, To those resplendent realms of day. We'll try to send the sounding praise.

O God, to whom in flesh reveal'd

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 O God, to whom in flesh reveal'd The helpless all for succour came; The sick to be reliev'd and heal'd, And found salvation in thy name. 2 With publicans and harlots I, In these thy Spirit's gospel days, To thee, the sinner's friend, draw nigh, And humbly sue for saving grace. 3 Thou seest me helpless and distressed, Feeble, and faint, and blind, and poor; Weary I come to thee for rest, And sick of sin implore a cure. 4 My sin's incurable disease, Thou, Jesus, thou alone canst heal; Inspire me with thy power and peace, And pardon on my conscience seal. 5 A touch, a word, a look from thee, Can turn my heart and make it clean; Purge the foul inbred leprosy, And save me from my bosom-sin. 6 Lord, if thou wilt, I do believe, Thou canst the saving grace impart; Thou canst this instant now forgive, And stamp thine image on my heart. 7 My heart, which now to thee I raise, I know thou canst this moment cleanse; The deepest stains of sin efface, And drive the evil spirit hence. 8 Be it according to thy word! Accomplish now thy work in me; And let my soul, to health restor'd, Devote its little all to thee!
