O Lord, say unto my Soul, I am thy Salvation

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Salvation First Line: Salvation! O melodious sound Lyrics: 1 Salvation! O melodious sound To wretched dying men! Salvation, that from God proceeds, And leads to God again. 2 Rescu'd from Hell's eternal gloom, From fiends, and fires, and chains: Rais'd to a Paradise of bliss, Where love triumphant reigns! 3 But may a poor bewilder'd soul, Sinful and weak as mine, Presume to raise a trembling eye To blessings so divine? 4 The lustre of so bright a bliss My feeble heart o'erbears; And unbelief almost perverts The promise into tears. 5 My Savior God, no voice but thine These dying hopes can raise: Speak thy salvation to my soul, And turn my prayer to praise.

Gratitude to God for Redemption

Author: D. Turner Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXIII (1792) Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Redemption First Line: Shall Jesus descend from the skies Lyrics: 1 Shall Jesus descend from the skies, To atone for our sins by his blood, And shall we such goodness despise, And rebels still be to our God? 2 [No brute could be ever so base! Shall man thus ungrateful then prove? Forbid it, O God of all grace; Forbid it, thou spirit of love! 3 The devils would laugh us to scorn, For folly so shameful as this; O let us to God then return, Sure never was goodness like his.] 4 He sav'd us, or we had been lost, Nor comfort nor hope had e'er known; Yet he knew this salvation would cost No less than the blood of his son. 5 Thro' him we forgiveness shall find, And taste the sweet blessings of peace, If contrite and humbly resign'd, We trust in his promised grace, 6 This world then with all its gay joy, That its thousands has snar'd and undone, May tempt, but shall never destroy, Whom Jesus has mark'd for his own. 7 While here thro' the desert we stray, Our God shall be all our delight, Our pillar of cloud in the day, And also of fire in the night: 8 'Till, 'th' Jordan of death safely pass'd, We land on the heavenly shore, Where we the hid manna shall taste, Nor hunger nor thirst any more. 9 And there while his glories we see, And feast on the joys of his love, We chang'd to his likeness shall be, And then shall all gratitude prove.

Or shall we wrap us in the shades Of midnight and the grave? 2 Is there no shelter from the eye Of a revenging God? Jesus, to thy dear wounds we fly, Bedew us with thy blood, 3 Those guardian drops our souls secure, And wash away our sins; Eternal justice frowns no more, And conscience smiles within. 4 We bless that wondrous purple stream That cleanses every stain; Yet are our souls but half redeem'd, If sin, the tyrant, reign. 5 Lord, blast his empire with thy breath, That cursed throne must fall; Ye flattering plagues, that work our death, Fly, for we hate you all.
