How condescending and how kind

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 194 hymnals Topics: Salvation Through Christ Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind Was God’s eternal Son! Our mis'ry reach'd His heavenly mind, And pity brought Him down. 2 This was compassion like a God, That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was His blood, His pity ne’er withdrew. 3 Now, though He reigns exalted high, His love is still as great; Well He remembers Calvary, Nor should His saints forget. 4 Here we receive repeated seals Of Jesus’ dying love: Hard is the wretch that never feels One soft affection move. 5 Here let our hearts begin to melt, While we His death record, And with our joy for pardon'd guilt, Mourn that we pierced the Lord.

Lamb of God, we fall before thee

Thee we own a perfect Saviour, Only source of all that's good. Every grace and every favour Comes to us through Jesus' blood. 2 Jesus gives us true repentance, By his Spirit sent from heaven; Whispers this transporting sentence, "Son, thy sins are now forgiven." Faith he grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts his love to prize; Want we wisdom? he must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 3 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what he requires; Makes us follow his directions, And what he commands--inspires. All our prayers, and all our praises, Rightly offer'd in his name, He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.

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

To thee our souls we raise; And to thy matchless bounty rear A monument of praise. 2 Thy mercy gilds the path of life With ev'ry cheering ray; Kindly restrains the rising tear, Or wipes that tear away. 3 When, sunk in guilt, our race approach'd The borders of despair; Thy grace through Jesus' blood proclaim'd A free salvation near. 4 What shall we render, bounteous Lord, For all the grace we see? Alas! the goodness worms can yield Extendeth not to thee. 5 To tents of wo, to beds of pain, Our cheerful feet repair; And, with the gifts thy hand bestows, Relieve the mourners there. 6 The widow's heart shall sing for joy; The orphan shall be glad; And hung'ring souls we'll gladly point To Christ the living bread. 7 Thus, passing through this vale of tears, Our useful light shall shine; And other learn to glorify Our Father's name divine.
