The intercession of Christ

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #LXXIV (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: He lives, the great redeemer lives Lyrics: 1 He lives, the great redeemer lives, (What joy the blest assurance gives!) And now before his father God, Pleads the full merit of his blood. 2 Repeated crimes awake our fears, And justice arm'd with frowns appears; But in the Saviour's lovely face Sweet mercy smiles, and all is peace. 3 Hence then, ye black despairing thoughts, Above our fears, above our faults, His powerful intercessions rise And guilt recedes, and terror dies. 4 In every dark distressful hour, When sin and satan join their power; Let this dear hope repel the dart That Jesus bears us on his heart. 5 Great advocate, almighty friend-- On him our humble hopes depend: Our cause can never, never fail, For Jesus pleads and must prevail.

Whose love secures them all the way, And crowns them at the end. Topics: Christ The refuge of the church; Christ The refuge of the church Languages: English

Death and Heaven: The spirit's farewell to the body after long sickness

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CLXXIII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How am I held a pris'ner now Lyrics: Part I 1 How am I held a pris'ner now, Far from my God! this mortal chain Binds me to sorrow: all below Is short-liv'd ease, or tiresome pain. 2 When shall that wond'rous hour appear, Which frees me from this dark abode, To live at large in regions where Nor cloud nor vail shall hide my God? 3 Farewell this flesh, these ears, these eyes, These snares and fetters of the mind; My God! nor let this frame arise, Till ev'ry dust be will refin'd. 4 Blest Jesus! make my nature whole, Mould me a body like thy own, Then shall it better serve my soul, In works of praise and worlds unknown. Part II 5 Absent from flesh! O blissful thought! What unknown joys this moment brings! Freed from the mischief sin hath wrought, From pains and tears and all their springs. 6 Absent from flesh! illustrious day! Surprising scene! triumphant stroe! That rends the prison of my clay, And I can feel my fetters broke. 7 Absent from flesh! then rise, my soul! Where feet or wings could never climb, Beyond the heav'ns where planets roll, Measuring the cares and joys of time. 8 I go where God and glory shine; His presence makes eternal day: My all that's mortal I resign, For Jesus waits and points the way Part III 9 And is this heav'n? and am I there? How short the road, how swift the fligt! I am all life, all eye, all ear; Jesus is here--my soul's delight. 10 Is this the heav'nly friend who hung In blood and anguish on the tree, Whom Paul proclaim'd, whom David sung, Who dy'd for them, who dy'd for me? 11 Lo! he presents me at the throne All spotless; there the Godhead reigns Sublime and peaceful through the Son: Awake, my voice in heav'nly strains. 12 How fair thou blest, eternal word! Full Godhead shines through all thy face! Thy death procur'd this blest abode, Thy vital beams adorn the place! Part IV 13 Creator God, eternal light, Fountain of good, tremendous pow'r, Ocean of wonders, blissful sight, Beauty and love unknown before! 14 Thy grace, thy nature, all unknown In yon dark region whence I came, Where languid glimpses from thy throne, And feeble whispers taught thy name. 15 I'm in a world where all is new; Myself, my God, O blest amaze! Not my best hopes or wishes knew To form a shadow of this grace. 16 Fix'd on my God my heart adore, My restless thoughts forbear to rove, Ye meaner passions stir no more, But all my pow'rs be joy and love.
