Lord, you chose to be tormented, that our doom should be prevented; thousand, thousand thanks are due, dearest Jesus, unto you. 3 Lord, for all that bought our pardon, for the sorrows deep and sore, for the anguish in the garden, we will thank you evermore, thank you for the groaning, sighing, for the vict'ry of your dying, for that last triumphant cry, praise you evermore on high.

Redemption by Christ alone

Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:22-23 First Line: Enslav'd by sin and bound in chains Lyrics: 1 Enslav'd by sin and bound in chains, Beneath its dreadful tyrant sway, And doom'd to everlasting pains We wretched, guilty captives lay. 2 Nor gold nor gems could buy our peace; Nor all the world's collected store Suffice to purchase our release; A thousand worlds were all too poor. 3 Jesus the Lord, the mighty God, An all sufficient ransom paid; Invalu'd price! His precious blood For vile rebellious traitors shed. 4 Jesus the sacrifice became, To rescue guilty souls from hell; The spotless, bleeding, dying Lamb Beneath avenging justice fell. 5 Amazing goodness! love divine! O may our grateful hearts adore The matchless grace, nor yield to sin, Nor wear its cruel fetters more! 6 Dear Saviour, let thy love pursue, The glorious work it has begun, Each secret lurking foe subdue, And let our hearts be thine alone.

Meter: Irregular Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:22 First Line: O holy night, the stars are brightly shining Lyrics: 1 O holy night, the stars are brightly shining, it is the night of the dear Savior’s birth; long lay the world in sin and error pining, till He appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn! Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices! O night divine! O night when Christ was born! O night divine! O night, O night divine! 2 Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, with glowing hearts by his cradle we stand; so led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, here came the wise men from Orient land. The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger, in all our trials born to be our friend; he knows our need, he guards us from all danger. Behold your King; before him lowly bend! Behold your King; before Him lowly bend! 3 Truly he taught us to love one another; his law is love and his gospel is peace. Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother, and in his name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raising, let all within us praise his holy name. Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever! His power and glory evermore proclaim! His power and glory evermore proclaim! Topics: Christmas Season Used With Tune: CANTIQUE DE NOEL
