Christ's Obedience and Death; or, God glorified and Sinner's saaved

Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ cleansing from Sin; Blood of Christ cleansing from Sin First Line: Father, I sing thy wondrous grace Lyrics: 1 Father, I sing thy wondrous grace, I bless my Saviour's name, He bought salvation for the poor, And bore the sinner's shame. 2 His deep distress has rais'd us high, His duty and his zeal Fulfill'd the law which mortals broke, And finish'd all thy will. 3 His dying groans, his living songs Shall better please my God, Than harp or trumpet's solemn sound, Than goat's or bullock's blood. 4 This shall his humble followers see, And set their hearts at rest; They by his death draw near to thee, And live forever blest. 5 Let heaven and all that dwell on high To God their voices raise, While lands and seas assist the sky, And join t'advance his praise. 6 Zion is thine, most holy God, Thy Son shall bless her gates; And glory purchas'd by his blood For thine own Israel waits. Scripture: Psalm 69

Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Cleansing From Sin Lyrics: 1 'Tis not that I did choose Thee, For, Lord, that could not be; This heart would still refuse Thee, Hadst Thou not chosen me. Thou from the sin that stained me Hast cleansed and set me free; Of old Thou hast ordained me, That I should live to Thee. 2 'Twas sovereign mercy called me And taught my opening mind; The world had else enthralled me, To heavenly glories blind. My heart owns none before Thee, For Thy rich grace I thirst; This knowing, if I love Thee, Thou must have loved me first. Used With Tune: SAVOY CHAPEL

Faith is the brightest evidence

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ cleansing from sin Lyrics: Faith is the brightest evidence Of things beyond our sight, Breaks through the clouds of flesh and sense, And dwells in heav'nly light. It sets times past in present view, Brings distant prospects home, Of things a thousand years ago, Or thousand years to come. By faith we know the worlds were made By God's almighty word; Abram, to unknown countries led, By faith obeyed the Lord. He sought a city fair and high, Built by th' eternal hands, And faith assures us, though we die, That heav'nly building stands. Scripture: Hebrews 11

'Tis from the treasures of his word

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ cleansing from sin Lyrics: ['Tis from the treasures of his word I borrow titles for my Lord; Nor art nor nature can supply Sufficient forms of majesty. Bright image of the Father's face, Shining with undiminished rays; Th' eternal God's eternal Son, The heir and partner of his throne.] The King of kings, the Lord most high, Writes his own name upon his thigh He wears a garment dipped in blood, And breaks the nations with his rod. Where grace can neither melt nor move, The Lamb resents his injured love; Awakes his wrath without delay, And Judah's Lion tears the prey. But when for works of peace he comes, What winning titles he assumes! Light of the world, and Life of men; Nor bears those characters in vain. With tender pity in his heart, He acts the Mediator's part; A Friend and Brother he appears, And well fulfils the names he wears. At length the Judge his throne ascends, Divides the rebels from his friends, And saints in full fruition prove His rich variety of love. Scripture: Genesis 1

Thy sceptre and thy sword I sing; Thine is the vict'ry, and I sit A joyful subject at thy feet.] [Aspire, my soul, to glorious deeds, The Captain of salvation leads; March on, nor fear to win the day, Though death and hell obstruct the way.] [Should death, and hell, and powers unknown, Put all their forms of mischief on, I shall be safe; for Christ displays Salvation in more sovereign ways.] Scripture: Psalm 69
