Love Consecrates the Humblest Act
Author: S. B. McManus (1845-1917) alt. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Doctrines Communion Lyrics: 1 Love consecrates the humblest act
And haloes mercy’s deeds;
It sheds a benediction sweet
And hallows human needs.
2 When in the shadow of the cross
Christ knelt and washed the feet
Of His disciples, He gave us
A sign of love complete.
3 Love serves and willing, stoops to serve;
What Christ in love so true
Has freely done for one and all,
Let us now gladly do! Scripture: John 13:14 Used With Tune: TWENTY-FOURTH

Imputed Righteousness
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 507 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Justification First Line: Jesus, thy blood and righteousness Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
Midst flaming worlds, in these array'd,
With Joy shall I lift up my head.
2 When from the dust of death I rise
To take my mansion in the skies,
E'en then shall this be all my plea
"Jesus hath liv'd and dy'd for me."
3 Bold shall I stand in thy great day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
While thro' thy blood absolv'd I am,
From sins' tremendous curse and shame.
4 Thus Abraham the friend of God,
Thus all the armies bought with blood,
Savior of sinners thee proclaim,
Sinners, of whom the chief I am.
5 This spotless robe the same appears
When ruin'd nature sinks in years:
No age can change its glorious hue,
The robe of Christ is ever new.
6 O! let the dead now hear thy voice,
Bid, Lord, thy banish'd ones rejoice,
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesus, the Lord our righteousness. Scripture: Jeremiah 23:6 Text Sources: Madan's Collecition

Adoption
Author: Cruttenden Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Adoption First Line: Let others boast their ancient line Lyrics: 1 Let others boast their ancient line
In long succession great;
In the proud list let heroes shine,
And monarchs swell the state;
Descended from the King of Kings,
Each saint a nobler title sings.
2 Pronounce me, gracious God, thy son,
Own me an heir divine;
I'll pity princes on the throne,
When I can call thee mine;
Scepters and crowns unenvied rise,
And lose their lustre in mine eyes.
3 Content, obscure I pass my days,
To all I meet unknown,
And wait till thou thy child shalt raise,
And seat menear thy throne.
No name, no honors here I crave,
Well pleas'd with those beyond the grave.
4 Jesus, my elder brother, lives,
With him I too shall reign;
Nor sin, nor death, while he survives,
Shall make the promise vain.
In him my title stands secure,
And shall, while endless years endure.
5 When he, in robes divinely bright,
Shall once again appear,
Thou, too my soul, shalt shine in light,
And his full image bear.
Enough!—I wait th' appointed day,
Bless'd Savior, haste, and come away! Scripture: 1 John 3:1-3
Adoption

Sustain a feeble worm,

Amid the dreadful storm.

Be everlasting peace. Scripture: Psalm 119:117

For all that will is love;
And when I know not what thou dost,
I wait the light above.
5 Thy covenant the last accent claims
Of this poor faltering tongue;
And that shall the first notes employ
Of my celestial song. Scripture: 2 Samuel 23:5

Thou wilt not hear when sinners pray.

Impatient of restraint,
Into thy bosom, O my God,
Pour out a long complaint.

Could once defy the Lord,
Could rush with violence on to sin,
In presence of thy sword.
3 How often have I stood
A rebel to the skies,
And yet, and yet, O matchless grace!
Thy thunder silent lies.
4 O shall I never feel
The meltings of thy love?
Am I of such hell-harden'd steel
That mercy cannot move.
5 O'ercome by dying love,
Here at thy cross I lie:
And throw my flesh, my soul, my all,
And weep, and love, and die.
6 "Rise," says the Savior, "rise,
"Behold my wounded veins;
"Here flows a sacred crimson flood,
"To wash away thy stains."
7 See, God is reconcil'd!
Behold his smiling face!
Let joyful cherubs clap their wings
And sound aloud his grace.

While Jesus silence breaks;
No angel’s harp such music yields,
As what my shepherd speaks.

"And vain the rage of hell.

"With tokens of my love,
"But richer pastures I prepare,
"And sweeter streams above.
4 "Unnumber'd years of bliss
"I to my sheep will give;
"And, while my throne unshaken stands,
"Shall all my chosen live.

"Is rais'd for their defence:
"Where is the power shall reach them there?
"Or what shall force them thence?
6 Enough, my gracious Lord,
Let faith triumphant cry;
My heart can on this promise live,
Can on this promise die. Scripture: John 10:27-30
