In songs of sublime adoration and praise

Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: Salvation Through Christ Lyrics: 1 In songs of sublime adoration and praise, Ye pilgrims for Zion who press, Break forth and extol the great Ancient of Days, His rich and unmerited grace. 2 His love, from eternity, burn'd for our race, Broke forth and discover'd its flame; And now with the cords of His kindness He draws, And brings us to love His great name. 3 Oh, had He not pitied the state we were in, Our bosoms His love had ne'er felt: We all would have lived, would have died too in sin, And sunk with the load of our guilt. 4 What was there in man that could merit esteem, Or give the Creator delight? 'Twas "Even so, Father," we ever must sing, Because it seem'd good in Thy sight. 5 Urged on by His grace, did the Saviour appear, The bearer of help from above: Now all who are thirsting may freely draw near And drink in the streams of His love. 6 Then give all the glory to His holy name, To Him all the glory belongs; Be ours the high joys still to sound forth His fame, And crown Him in each of our songs.

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!

What mean these jealousies and fears?

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 What mean these jealousies and fears? As if the Lord was loath to save, Or lov'd to see us drench'd in tears, Or sink with sorrow to the grave. 2 Does he want slaves to grace his throne? Or rules he by an iron rod? Loves he the deep despairing groan? Is he a tyrant, or a God? 3 Not all the sins which we have wrought, So much his tender bowels grieve, As this unkind injurious thought, That he's unwilling to forgive. 4 What though our crimes are black as night, Or glowing like the crimson morn, Immanuel's blood will make them white As now through the pure ether borne. 5 Lord, 'tis amazing grace we own, And well may rebel worms surprise; But, was not thy incarnate Son A most amazing sacrifice? 6 "I've found a ransom," saith the Lord, "No humble penitent shall die?" Lord, we would now believe thy word, And thy unbounded mercies try!

I send the joys of earth away

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 223 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 I send the joys of earth away; Away, ye tempters of the mind, False as the smooth deceitful sea, And empty as the whistling wind. 2 Your streams were floating me along Down to the gulf of black despair, And whilst I listened to your song, Your streams had e'en conveyed me there. 3 Lord, I adore thy matchless grace, That warned me of that dark abyss, That drew me from those treacherous seas, And bid me seek superior bliss. 4 Now to the shining realms above I stretch my hands and glance mine eyes; O for the pinions of a dove, To bear me to the upper skies; 5 There from the bosom of my God, Oceans of endless pleasure roll; There would I fix my last abode, And drown the sorrows of my soul. Scripture: Hebrews 10:39

By various maxims, forms, and rules

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 By various maxims, forms, and rules, That pass for wisdom in the schools, I strove my passion to refrain; But all my efforts prov'd in vain. 2 But since the Saviour I have known, My rules are all reduced to one;-- I keep my Lord, by faith, in view. This strength supplies and motives too. 3 I see him lead a suff'ring life, Patient amidst reproach and strife; And from this pattern courage take To bear and suffer for his sake. 4 Upon the cross I see him bleed, And by the sight from guilt am freed. This sight destroys the life of sin, And quickens heav'nly life within. 5 To look to Jesus as he rose, Confirms my faith, disarms my foes. The world I shame and overcome, By pointing to my Saviour's tomb. 6 I see him look with pity down, And hold in view the conq'ror's crown. If pressed with griefs and cares before, My soul revives, and asks no more. 7 By faith I see the hour at hand, When in his presence I shall stand. Then it will be my endless bliss, To see him where and as he is.

O thou God of my salvation

Meter: Irregular Appears in 272 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 O thou God of my salvation, My Redeemer from all sin, Mov'd to this by great compassion, Yearning bowels from within; I will praise thee: Where shall I thy praise begin? 2 While the angel-choirs are crying Glory to the great I AM; I with them will still be vying., Glory, glory, to the Lamb! O how precious Is the sound of Jesus’ name! 3 Now I see, with joy and wonder, Whence the healing streams arose: Angels-minds are lost to ponder Dying love's mysterious cause; Yet the blessing, Down to all, to me it flows. 4 Though unseen, I love the Saviour, He almighty grace hath shown; Pardon'd guilt, and purchas'd favor! This he makes to mortals known, Give him glory, Glory, glory is his own. 5 Angels now are hov'ring round us, Unperceiv'd they mix the throng, Wond'ring at the love that crown'd us, Glad to sing the holy song: Hallelujah, Love and praise to Christ belong.

Trusting in God

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him First Line: Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims 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 Abr'ham, God of peace; Now by a dearer title known, Father and God of Christ his Son. 3 Through every 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.
