Faith triumphing

Author: Toplady Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CCXXIII (1792) First Line: A debtor to mercy alone Lyrics: 1 A debtor to mercy alone, Of covenant mercy I sing; Nor fear with thy righteousness on, My person and offerings to bring: The terrors of law, and of God, With me can have nothing to do; My savior's obedience and blood Hide all my transgressions from view. 2 The work which his goodness began, The arm of his strength will complete His promise is yea and amen, And never was forfeited yet: Things future, nor things that are now, Nor all things below nor above Can make him his purpose forgo, Or sever my soul from his love. 3 My name from the palms of his hands Eternity will not erase; Impress'd on his heart it remains, In marks of indelible grace: Yes, I to the end shall endure, As sure as the earnest is given; More happy, but not more secure, The glorify'd spirits in heav'n.

High-Priest

Author: Cennick Hymnal: SHBA1792 #CXC (1792) First Line: A good high-priest is come Lyrics: 1 A good high-priest is come, Supplying Aaron's place, And taking up his room, Dispensing life and grace: The law by Aaron's priesthood came, But grace and truth by Jesus' name. 2 My Lord a priest is made, As sware the mighty God, To Israel and his seed, Ordain'd to offer blood: For sinners who his mercy seek, A priest, as was Melchizedeck. 3 He once temptations knew, Of every sort and kind, That he might succour shew, To every tempted mind: In every point the lamb was try'd Like us, and then for us, he dy'd. 4 He dies, but lives again, And by the altar stands; There shews how he was slain, Op'ning His pierced hands. Our priest abides, and pleads the cause Of us who have transgress'd his laws. 5 I other priests disclaim, And laws and offerings too, None but the bleeding lamb The mighty work can do: He shall have all the praise, for he Hath lov'd, and liv'd, and dy'd for me.
