Come, Saviour Jesus, from above!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 138 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Come, Saviour Jesus, from above! Assist me with thy heavenly grace; Empty my heart of earthly love, And for thyself prepare the place. 2 O let thy sacred presence fill, And set my longing spirit free; Which pants to have not other will, But night and day to feast on thee. 3 While in this region here below, No other good will I pursue; I'll bid this world of noise and show, With all its glitt'ring snares, adieu. 4 That path with humble speed I'll seek, In which my Saviour's footsteps shine; Now will I hear, nor will I speak, Of any other love but thine. 5 Henceforth may no profane delight Divide this consecrated soul; Possess it thou, who hast the right, As Lord and master of the whole. 6 Nothing on earth do I desire, But thy pure love within my breast; This, only this, will I require, And freely give up all the rest.

Far from the fold, O God, my feet

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Far from thy fold, O God, my feet Once moved in error's devious maze; Nor found religious duties sweet, Now sought thy face, nor lov'd thy ways. 2 With tend'rest voice thou bad'st me flee The paths which thou couldst ne'er approve; And gently drew my soul to thee, With cords of sweet, eternal love. 3 Now to thy footstool, Lord,I fly, And low in self-abasement fall; A vile, a helpless worm, I lie, And thou, my God, art all in all. 4 Dearer, far dearer to my heart Than all the joys that earth can give; From fame, from wealth, from friends I'd part, Beneath thy countenance to live. 5 And when, in smiling friendship drest, Death bids me quit this mortal frame, Gently reclin'd on Jesus' breast, My latest breath shall bless his name. 6 Then my unfetter'd soul shall rise, And soar above yon starry spheres, Join the fall chorus of the skies, And sing thy praise thro' endless years.

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?

Redemption by Christ alone

O may our grateful hearts adore The matchless grace; nor yield to sin, Nor wear its cruel fetters more! Scripture: 1 Peter 1:18-19
