Jesus, Your Blood and Righteousness

Author: Nicolaus L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-60; John Wesley, 1703-91 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 499 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, your blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress; Mid flaming worlds, in these arrayed, With joy shall I lift up my head. 2 Bold shall I stand in that great day, Cleansed and redeemed, no debt to pay; For by your cross, absolved I am From sin and guilt, from fear and shame. 3 Lord, I believe your precious blood, Which at the mercy seat of God Pleads for the captives' liberty, Was also shed in love for me. 4 Lord, I believe, were sinners more Than sands upon the ocean shore, You have for all a ransom paid, For all a full atonement made. 5 When from the dust of death I rise To claim my mansion in the skies, This then shall be my only plea: Christ Jesus lived and died for me. 6 Then shall I praise you and adore Your blessed name forevermore, Who once, for me and all you made, An everlasting ransom paid.

God Loved the World So That He Gave

Author: August Crull, 1845-1923 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God loved the world so that He gave His only Son the lost to save, That all who would in Him believe Should everlasting life receive. 2 Christ Jesus is the ground of faith, Who was made flesh and suffered death; All then who trust in Him alone Are built on this chief cornerstone. 3 God would not have the sinner die; His Son with saving grace is nigh; His Spirit in the Word declares How we in Christ are heaven's heirs. 4 Be of good cheer, for God's own Son Forgives all sins which you have done; And, justified by Jesus' blood, Your Baptism grants the highest good. 5 If you are sick, if death is near, This truth your troubled heart can cheer: Christ Jesus saves your soul from death; That is the firmest ground of faith. 6 Glory to God the Father, Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One! To Thee, O blessed Trinity, Be praise now and eternally! Topics: Redeemer Scripture: John 3:16 Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN Text Sources: Heiliges Lippen- und Hertzens-Opffer, Stettin, c. 1778

Just as I am, without one plea

Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 2,114 hymnals Lyrics: Just as I am, without one plea, But that thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bidd'st me come to thee, Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot, To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, Just as I am, though tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt, Fightings and fears within, without, Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind; Sight, riches, healing of the mind Yea, all I need, in thee to find, Just as I am: thou wilt receive, Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve, Because thy promise I believe, Just as I am, thy love unknown Has broken every barrier down; Now to be thine, yea, thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come. Amen. Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN

Strong Son of God, Immortal Love

Author: Alfred Tennyson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Strong Son of God, immortal love, Whom we, that have not seen Thy face, By faith, and faith alone, embrace, Believing where we cannot prove. 2. Thou wilt not leave us in the dust; Thou madest man, he knows not why, He thinks he was not made to die: And Thou hast made him: Thou art just. 3. Thou seemest human and divine, The highest, holiest manhood, Thou. Our wills are ours, we know not how; Ours wills are ours, to make them Thine. 4. Our little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be; They are but broken lights of Thee, And Thou, O Lord, art more than they. 5. We have but faith: we cannot know; For knowledge is of things we see; And yet we trust it comes from Thee, A beam in darkness: let it grow. 6. Let knowledge grow from more to more, But more of reverence in us dwell; That mind and soul, according well, May make one music as before. 7. But vaster. We are fools and slight; We mock Thee when we do not fear; But help Thy foolish ones to bear— Help Thy vain worlds to bear Thy light. Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN

With Broken Heart and Contrite Sigh

Author: Cornelius Elven Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 218 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With broken heart and contrite sigh, A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry: Thy pard'ning grace is rich and free: O God, be merciful to me. 2 I smite upon my troubled breast, With deep and conscience guilt oppressed; Christ and His cross my only plea: O God, be merciful to me. 3 Far off I stand with tearful eyes, Nor dare uplift them to the skies; But Thou dost all my anguish see: O God, be merciful to me. 4 Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done, Can for a single sin atone; To Calvary alone I flee: O God, be merciful to me. 5 And when, redeemed from sin and hell, With all the ransomed throng I dwell, My raptured song shall ever be, God has been merciful to me.

The Claims Of The Poor

Author: Thomas B. Murray Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The arrowy sleet, and winter wind Lyrics: 1 The arrowy sleet, and winter wind, That beat against our latchèd door, With plaintive voices call to mind The wants and sorrows of the poor. 2 Can we enjoy our Christmas home, Its cheerful fire, and table spread, Yet lightly think of those that roam Without, unsheltered and unfed? 3 We all need kindness: who shall say But he may come at last to crave Relief along the rugged way, That leads through trouble to the grave? 4 Then love the poor; and ope your hand, Not grudgingly but with good will, And suffer not the needy band To stand unhelped and shivering still. 5 For ’tis a blessèd thing indeed, Which not e’en monarchs should despise, When men of wealth and goodness read Their history in the poor man’s eyes. 6 Now change the view; and who shall dare To treat with insult or neglect Those whom the Lord hath made His care, And whom He surely will protect? 7 Turn to the words of sacred lore, And mark how fully they disclose His will, who careth for the poor, And taketh vengeance on their foes. 8 See what a hedge He hath supplied, And made the sufferers’ cause His own, Lest fierceness, or the foot of pride, Should hurt the poor, or cast them down. 9 Hath He not sent His only Son To share and thus to sanctify A state that need bring shame to none, The state of lowly poverty? 10 Yes, Christ endured the shame and loss; And His cold home at Bethlehem, The mountains bare, the painful cross, May teach the poor He cared for them. 11 Foxes had holes, the bird its nest; But while each creature found a bed, The Savior had no place of rest, Whereon to lay His weary head. 12 O honor then your Maker’s name; And love the poor, lest ye be found Reproaching Him who poor became, That ye in riches might abound.
