Contend, O LORD, with those
Thy Works, Not Mine, O Christ
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy works, not mine, O Christ,
Speak gladness to this heart;
They tell me all is done;
They bid my fear depart.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
2 Thy wounds, not mine, O Christ,
Can heal my bruised soul;
Thy stripes, not mine, contain
The balm that makes me whole.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
3 Thy cross, not mine, O Christ,
Has borne the awful load
Of sins that none could bear
But the incarnate God.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
4 Thy death, not mine, O Christ,
Has paid the ransom due;
Ten thousand deaths like mine
Would have been all too few.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
5 Thy righteousness, O Christ,
Alone can cover me:
No righteousness avails
Save that which is of Thee.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
Amen. Topics: Faith and Justification Scripture: Philippians 3:9 Used With Tune: ST. JOHN

O Light That Knew No Dawn
Author: Gregory of Nazianzus, 325-390; John Brownlie, 1859-1925 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Light that knew no dawn,
that shines to endless day,
all things in earth and heav'n
are lustered by thy ray;
no eye can to thy throne ascend,
nor mind thy brightness comprehend.
2 Thy grace, O Father, give,
that I may serve in fear;
above all boons, I pray,
grant me thy voice to hear;
from sin thy child in mercy free,
and let me dwell in light with thee:
3 That, cleansed from stain of sin,
I may meet homage give,
and, pure in heart, behold
thy beauty while I live;
clean hands in holy worship raise,
and thee, O Christ my Savior, praise.
4 In supplication meek
to thee I bend the knee;
O Christ, when thou shalt come,
in love remember me,
and in thy kingdom, by thy grace,
grant me a humble servant's place.
5 Thy grace, O Father, give,
I humbly thee implore;
and let thy mercy bless
thy servant more and more.
All grace and glory be to thee,
from age to age eternally. Topics: God; God Incomprehensibility; God Infinity and Eternity of; Humility; Light; Sanctification; Servants of Christ or God; Supplications For Mercy Scripture: Psalm 24:4-5 Used With Tune: WAVERTON

What Was It, Blessed God
Author: Ann T. Gilbert, 1782-1866 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What was it, blessèd God,
Led Thee to give Thy Son,
To yield Thy well-beloved
For us by sin undone?
’Twas love unbounded led Thee thus
To give Thy well-beloved for us.

To leave Thy throne on high,
To shed His precious blood,
To suffer and to die?
’Twas love, unbounded love to us,
Led Him to die and suffer thus.
3 What moved Thee to impart
Thy Spirit from above,
Therewith to fill our heart
With heavenly peace and love?
’Twas love, unbounded love to us,
Moved Thee to give Thy Spirit thus.
4 What love to Thee we owe,
Our God, for all Thy grace!
Our hearts may well o’erflow
In everlasting praise:
Make us, O God, to praise Thee thus
For all Thy boundless love to us. Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH
What Was It, Blessed God
By Whom Was David Taught?
Author: William Cowper Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 82 hymnals First Line: By whom was David taught Lyrics: 1. By whom was David taught
To aim the deadly blow,
When he Goliath fought,
And laid the Gittite low?
Nor sword nor spear the stripling took,
But chose a pebble from the brook.
2. ’Twas Israel’s God and King
Who sent him to the fight;
Who gave him strength to fling,
And skill to aim aright.
Ye feeble saints, your strength endures,
Because young David’s God is yours.
3. Who ordered Gideon forth,
To storm th’invaders’ camp
With arms of little worth,
A pitcher and a lamp?
The trumpets made His coming known
And all the host was overthrown.
4. Oh! I have seen the day,
When with a single word,
God helping me to say,
My trust is in the Lord,
My soul hath quelled a thousand foes
Fearless of all that could oppose.
5. But unbelief, self will,
Self righteousness, and pride,
How often do they steal
My weapon from my side!
Yet David’s Lord, and Gideon’s Friend,
Will help His servant to the end. Used With Tune: CHRIST CHURCH Text Sources: Olney Hymns, (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 17

The Efficacious Fountain
Ye Waiting Souls, Arise
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 115 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Ye waiting souls, arise,
With all the dead, awake!
Unto salvation wise,
Oil in your vessels take;
Upstarting at the midnight cry,
Behold, the heavenly Bridegroom nigh!
2. He comes, He comes to call
The nations to His bar,
And take to glory all
Who meet for glory are;
Made ready for your full reward,
Go forth with joy to meet your Lord.
3. Go, meet Him in the sky,
Your everlasting friend;
Your head to glorify,
With all His saints ascend;
Ye pure in heart, obtain the grace
To see, without a veil, His face.
4. The everlasting doors
Shall soon the saints receive,
With seraphs, thrones, and powers,
In glorious joy to live;
Far from a world of grief and sin,
With God eternally shut in.
5. Then let us wait to hear
The trumpet’s welcome sound;
To see our Lord appear,
May we be watching found;
And when Thou dost the heavens bow,
Be found—as, Lord, Thou find’st us now. Used With Tune: ZEBULON Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749
Ye Waiting Souls, Arise
O living Word of God
Author: E. Margaret Clarkson Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal
O living Word of God
The mountains shall depart
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
"The mountains shall depart,
The hills shall be removed,
Faithful, O Lord! Thou art,
Faithful hast ever proved,
And faithful to eternity,
Thy word of promise stands to me.
"That blessed word I prove,
I know Thee as Thou art;
Thy kindness will not move,
Nor can Thy truth depart;
With me, Thy covenant of peace
Is seal'd, is sure, and shall not cease."
Thus may the mourner say
In the dark hour of grief,
When the first trembling ray
Of comfort darts relief
Into the dungeon of his soul,
Till love, joy, peace, illume the whole.
Down, then, the dungeon falls,
A palace straight upsprings,
Salvation guards the walls,
And lo! the King of kings
Enters with all his glorious train,
For ever in that soul to reign.
Topics: Assurance of hope Scripture: Isaiah 54:10
The mountains shall depart
