Come unto me and rest
Now I have found the ground wherein
Author: John Wesley; John Andrew Rothe Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: The Order of Salvation Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein
Sure my soul’s anchor may remain;
The wounds of Jesus, for my sin
Before the world’s foundation slain;
Whose mercy shall unshaken stay,
When heaven and earth are fled away.
2 Father, Thine everlasting grace
Our scanty thought surpasses far:
Thy heart still melts with tenderness,
Thy arms of love still open are,
Returning sinners to receive,
That mercy they may taste, and live.
3 O Love, Thou bottomless abyss!
My sins are swallowed up in Thee!
Covered is my unrighteousness,
No spot of guilt remains on me:
While Jesus’ Blood, through earth and skies,
Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries!

Thou art the Way: to Thee Alone
Author: George Washington Doane, 1799-1859 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 624 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Thou art the Way; to Thee alone
From sin and death we flee;
And he who would the Father seek,
Must seek Him, Lord, by Thee.
2 Thou art the Truth; Thy Word alone
True wisdom can impart:
Thou only canst inform the mind,
And purify the heart.
3 Thou art the Life; the rending tomb
Proclaims Thy conquering arm:
And those who put their trust in Thee,
Nor death nor hell shall harm.
4 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life;
Grant us that Way to know,
That Truth to keep, that Life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow.
Amen. Used With Tune: EVAN
Thou art the Way: to Thee Alone
In Vain We Seek for Peace with God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 In vain we seek for peace with God
By methods of our own:
O Jesus, nothing but Thy blood
Can bring us to the throne.
2 'Tis Thine atoning sacrifice
Hath answered all demands;
And peace and pardon from the skies
Are blessings from Thy hands.
3 'Tis by Thy death we live, O Lord;
'Tis on Thy cross we rest:
Forever be Thy love adored,
Thy Name forever blest.
Amen. Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
In Vain We Seek for Peace with God
Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice
Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God hath done,
How His right arm the vict'ry won;
Right dearly it hath cost Him.
2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay,
Death brooded darkly o'er me,
Sin was my torment night and day,
In sin my mother bore me;
Still deeper in despair I fell,
Life had become a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3 Then God beheld my wretched state
With deep commiseration;
He thought upon His mercy great,
And willed my soul's salvation;
He turned to me a Father's heart;
Not small the cost! to heal my smart,
He gave His best and dearest.
4 He spoke to His belovèd Son:
"'Tis time to have compassion:
Then go, bright Jewel of My crown,
And bring to man salvation;
From sin and sorrow set him free,
Slay bitter death for him, that he
May live with Thee forever."
5 The Son obeyed Him cheerfully,
And born of virgin mother,
Came down upon the earth to me,
That He might be my brother:
His mighty power doth work unseen,
He came in fashion poor and mean,
And took the devil captive.
6 We thank Thee, Lord, for boundless grace,
And sing Thy praise forever,
For granting us in dire distress
Thine everlasting favor.
Both death and hell were stricken down,
When Thou didst for our sins atone,
O Jesus, blessèd Saviour.
Amen.

From Every Stormy Wind that Blows
Author: Hugh Stowell, 1799-1865 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,321 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 From every stormy wind that blows,
From every swelling tide of woes,
There is a calm, a sure retreat,
’Tis found beneath the mercy-seat.
2 There is a place where Jesus sheds
The oil of gladness on our heads;
A place than all besides more sweet;
It is the blood-bought mercy-seat.
3 There is a scene where spirits blend,
Where friend holds fellowship with friend,
Though sundered far, by faith they meet
Around one common mercy-seat.
4 Ah! whither could we flee for aid,
When tempted, desolate, dismayed;
Or how the host of hell defeat,
Had suffering saints no mercy-seat?
5 There, there, on eagles’ wing we soar,
And sin and sense seem all no more,
And heaven comes down our souls to greet,
And glory crowns the mercy-seat!
Amen.

How Firm a Foundation, Ye Saints of the Lord
Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,247 hymnals Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled,
Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed;
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine,
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "E'en down to old age all My people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adore,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.
6 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I cannot desert to His foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never--no never--no never forsake!
I'll never--no never--no never forsake!"
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 41:10 Used With Tune: ADESTE FIDELES (PORTUGUESE HYMN) Text Sources: "K," in Rippon's Selection, 1787

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,076 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ, my God:
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a tribute far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all. Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM
