Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King

Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King When on the Cross the Saviour hung, His Grace a dying Thief did bring, To own him with his Heart and Tongue. 2 Our Malefactor scorn'd Christ's Name, The other did his Sin reprove; Then said by Faith to God's dear Lamb, "Remember me O Lord above." 3 What noble Faith in him appear'd, That he could trust a dying Lord! He soon the blessed Jesus heard pronounce this sweet reviving Word; 4 "Amen, this Day thy Soul shall be "With me in Paradise above." This made the dying Pris'ner free; These Words were full of boundless Love. 5 What Comfort did this Speech convey, To his poor guilty wretched Mind! When thus he heard the Saviour say, Great Peace the Criminal did find. 6 Thus Jesus Christ forgave the Thierf, And shew'd great Mercy to the Man; So in the midst of Woe and Grief, His Joy and Happiness began. 7 O how he sings the Saviour's Praise, Who took him at the very last, When he his youthful Strength and Days In Satan's Cause had spent and past! 8 Now he adores God's holy Name, And stands before the Saviours Face; And will eternally proclaim The boundless Riches of his Grace! Scripture: Luke 23:39-43

Disciples of Christ

Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Disciples of Christ Ye Friends of the Lamb; Attend, and assist In sing his Fame: Eternal Thanksgiving The Faithful should pay, The Living, the Living, As we do this Day. 2 A Body of Clay He humbly put on. And then took away The Sin we had done; And in it endured The Wrath to us due, The Curse we incurred, Our Stripes and our Woe. 3 Not only he dy'd, But also arose; Laid Weakness aside, And over his Foes, (Sin, Death, and the Devil,) He triumph'd, and o'er This World, and all Evil, Dominion and Pow'r. 4 O merciful Lamb, Who sits on the Throne, We bow at thy Name, The Saviour we own, Deserving our Blessing, And Blessing we'll give, Without ever ceasing, So long as we live.

I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow

Appears in 134 hymnals Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation ot Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 I Ask'd the LORD that I might grow In Faith, and Love, and ev'ry Grace; Might more of his Salvation know, And seek more earnestly his Face. 2 'Twas he who taught me thus to pray; And he, I trust, has answer'd Pray'r: But it has been in such a Way As almost drove me to Despair. 3 I hop'd that in some favour'd Hour, At once he'd grant me my Request; And, by his Love's constraining Pow'r, Subdue my Sins, and give me Rest. 4 Instead of this, he made me feel The hidden Evils of my Heart, And let the angry Pow'rs of Hell Assault my soul in ev'ry Part. 5 Yea more, with his own Hand he seem'd Intent to agravate my Woe; Cross'd all the fair Designs I schem'd, Blasted my Gourds, and laid me low. 6 LORD, why is this? I trembling cry'd; Wilt thou pursue thy worm to Death? 'Tis in this Way, the LORD reply'd, I answer Pray'r for Grace and Faith. 7 These inward Trials I employ From Self and Pride to set thee free, To break thy Schemes of worldly Joy, That thou may'st seek thy All in Me.

Know, ye that are of Adam's race

Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Know, ye that are of Adams Race, That God hath call'd you by his Grace; And has proclaim'd his Gospel loud, For to give Warning to the Proud, 2 Ye youthful Virgins stop, and pause, And think upon your Sav'ours Laws; Let not your Life which God has lent, Alone in Vanity be spent. 3 Awake to Thought! ye tender Souls, And think, alas! we are but Fools, To Spend our Time, which ends in Strife, And lose this glorious Scene of Life. 4 Your Life to God must be resign'd; Your Mind in Jesus be confin'd; For Word and Action must agree, If Jesus Christ shall set you free. 5 That Servant Form you must put on, And think that Christ's before me gone, He is the Way, the Truth, and Life, Therefore forsake this World of Strife.
