Saved by Grace
I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
Author: Anon. Meter: 10.10.10.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Christian Life Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
He moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;
It was not I that found, O Savior true;
No, I was found of thee.
2 Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold;
I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea, -
'Twas not so much that I on thee took hold,
As thou, dear Lord, on me.
3 I find, I walk, I love, but O the whole
Of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee;
For thou wert long beforehand with my soul,
Always thou lovedst me.
Amen. Scripture: 1 John 4:19 Used With Tune: ARTAVIA
I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
By Grace I Am an Heir of Heaven
Author: Christian L. Scheidt; H. Brueckner Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 By grace I am an heir of heaven:
why doubt this, O my trembling heart?
If what the Scriptures promise clearly
is true and firm in ev'ry part,
this also must be truth divine:
by grace a crown of life is mine.
2 By grace alone shall I inherit
that blissful home beyond the skies.
Works count for naught, the Lord incarnate
hath won for me the heav'nly prize.
Salvation by his death he wrought,
his grace alone my pardon bought.
3 By grace! These precious words remember
when sorely by thy sins oppressed,
when Satan comes to vex thy spirit,
when troubled conscience sighs for rest;
what reason cannot comprehend,
God doth to thee by grace extend.
4 By grace! Be this in death my comfort;
despite my fears, 'tis well with me.
I know my sin in all its greatness,
but also him who sets me free.
My heart to naught but joy gives place
since I am saved by grace, by grace.
Scripture: Titus 3:7 Used With Tune: NEUMARK
By Grace I Am an Heir of Heaven
"Jesus sinners doth receive"
Author: Erdmann Neumeister Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 "Jesus sinners doth receive:"
Word of surest consolation;
Word all sorrow to relieve,
Word of pardon, peace, salvation!
Naught like this can comfort give:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
2 On God's grace we have no claim,
Yet to us his pledge is given;
He hath sworn by his own Name,
Open are the gates of heaven.
Take to heart this word and live:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
3 When a helpless lamb doth stray,
After it, the Shepherd, pressing
Thro' each dark and dang'rous way,
Brings it back, his own possessing.
Jesus seeks thee, O believe:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
4 Oh, how blest it is to know:
Were as scarlet my transgression,
It shall be as white as snow
By thy blood and bitter passion;
For these words I now believe:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
5 Now my conscience is at peace,
From the Law I stand acquitted;
Christ hath purchased my release
And my ev'ry sin remitted.
Naught remains my soul to grieve —
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
Amen. Scripture: Luke 15:2 Used With Tune: JESUS NIMMT DIE SÜNDER AN Text Sources: Tr. cento

Salvation by grace
Just as I am, without one plea
Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 2,121 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 Just as I am, without one plea
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou bidd'st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
2 Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
3 Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
4 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
5 Just as I am! thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
6 Just as I am! thy love unknown
Has broken ev'ry barrier down;
Now, to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched
Author: Joseph Hart Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.4.7 Appears in 1,464 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity joined with pow'r:
He is able,
He is able,
He is able,
He is willing; doubt no more.
2 Come, ye needy, come and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Ev'ry grace that brings you nigh,
Without money,
Without money,
Without money,
Come to Jesus Christ and buy.
3 Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Bruised and broken by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all:
Not the righteous,
Not the righteous,
Not the righteous–
Sinners Jesus came to call.
4 Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness he requireth
Is to feel your need of him;
This he gives you,
This he gives you,
This he gives you;
'Tis the Spirit's rising beam.
5 Lo! th' incarnate God, ascended,
Pleads the merit of his blood;
Venture on him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude:
None but Jesus,
None but Jesus,
None but Jesus
Can do helpless sinners good.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 9:13 Used With Tune: CAERSALEM
Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched
Amazing Grace!
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,424 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace First Line: Amazing grace! – how sweet the sound Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace! -- how sweet the sound--
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.
2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3 Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
4 The Lord has promised good to me,
his Word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.
5 And when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil
a life of joy and peace.
6 When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we've first begun. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 17:16 Used With Tune: AMAZING GRACE Text Sources: St. 6: A Collection of Sacred Ballads, 1790
Amazing Grace!
How sweet and awful is the place
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 266 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 How sweet and awful is the place
With Christ within the doors,
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores.
2 While all our hearts and all our songs
Join to admire the feast,
Each of us cry, with thankful tongues,
"Lord, why was I a guest?
3 "Why was I made to hear thy voice,
And enter while there's room,
When thousands make a wretched choice,
And rather starve than come?"
4 'Twas the same love that spread the feast
That sweetly drew us in;
Else we had still refused to taste,
And perished in our sin.
5 Pity the nations, O our God,
Constrain the earth to come;
Send thy victorious Word abroad,
And bring the strangers home.
6 We long to see thy churches full,
That all the chosen race
May, with one voice and heart and soul,
Sing thy redeeming grace.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 14:14-24 Used With Tune: ST. COLUMBA

Your liberty receive;

Your heritage above,
Receive it back unbought,
The gift of Jesus' love: [Refrain]

The news of heav'nly grace;
