Look, look, look and live

Author: Amelia Matilda Hull (c 1825-82) Appears in 102 hymnals First Line: There is life for a look at the crucified one Lyrics: 1 There is life for a look at the crucified one, There is life at this moment for thee; Then look, sinner, look unto him and be saved, Unto him who was nailed to the tree. Refrain: Look, look, look and live; There is life for a look at the crucified one, There is life at this moment for thee. 2 O why was he there as the bearer of sin, If on Jesus thy sins were not laid? O why from his side flowed the sin-cleansing blood, If his dying thy debt had not paid? 3 It is not thy tears of repentance or prayers, But the blood that atones for the soul; On him then who shed it thou mayest at once Thy weight of iniquities roll. 4 Then take with rejoicing from Jesus at once The life everlasting he gives; And know, with assurance, thou need’st never die Since Jesus, thy righteousness, lives.

No, not despairingly

Author: Horatius Bonar (1808-89) Appears in 104 hymnals Lyrics: 1 No, not despairingly Come I to thee; No, not distrustingly Bend I the knee. Sin hath gone over me, Yet is this still my plea: Jesus hath died for me, Jesus hath died! 2 Ah! mine iniquity Crimson hath been, Infinite, infinite, Sin upon sin: Sin of not loving thee, Sin of not trusting thee, Sin of not serving thee, Infinite sin. 3 Lord, I confess to thee Sadly my sin; All I am tell I thee, All I have been. Purge thou my sin away, Wash thou my soul this day, Now to be pure I pray, Lord, make me clean! 4 Faithful and just art thou, Forgiving all! Loving and kind art thou When sinners call. Lord, let the cleansing blood, Blood of the Lamb of God, Healing, life-giving flood, Pass o’er my soul. Topics: The gospel Response

O boundless salvation! deep ocean of love

Author: William Booth (1829-1912) Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O boundless salvation! deep ocean of love, O fulness of mercy, Christ brought from above, The whole world redeeming, so rich and so free, Now flowing for all men, come, roll over me! 2 My sins they are many, their stains are so deep, And bitter the tears of remorse that I weep; But useless is weeping; thou great crimson sea, Thy waters can cleanse me, come, roll over me! 3 My tempers are fitful, my passions are strong, They bind my poor soul and they force me to wrong; Beneath thy blest billows deliverance I see, O come, mighty ocean, and roll over me! 4 Now tossed with temptation, then haunted with fears, My life has been joyless and useless for years; I feel something better most surely would be If once thy pure waters would roll over me. 5 O ocean of mercy, oft longing I’ve stood On the brink of thy wonderful, life-giving flood! Once more I have reached this soul-cleansing sea, I will not go back till it rolls over me. 6 The tide is now flowing, I’m touching the wave, I hear the loud call of the mighty to save; My faith’s growing bolder, delivered I’ll be; I plunge ‘neath the waters, they roll over me. 7 And now, hallelujah! the rest of my days Shall gladly be spent in promoting his praise Who opened his bosom to pour out this sea Of boundless salvation for you and for me.

O Jesus, thou art standing

Author: William Walsham How (1823-97) Appears in 669 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, thou art standing Outside the fast-closed door, In lowly patience waiting, To pass the threshold o’er. Shame on us, Christian people, His name and sign who bear, O shame, thrice shame upon us, To keep him standing there! 2 O Jesus, thou art knocking; And lo! that hand is scarred, And thorns thy brow encircle, And tears thy face have marred. O love that passeth knowledge, So patiently to wait! O sin that hath no equal, So fast to bar the gate! 3 O Jesus, thou art pleading In accents meek and low: I died for you, my children, And will ye treat me so? O Lord, with shame and sorrow We open now the door; Dear Saviour, enter, enter, And leave us nevermore. Topics: The gospel Response

I have victory in temptation

Author: William John McAlonan (1863-1925) Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: I have seen his face in blessing Lyrics: 1 I have seen his face in blessing When my eyes were dimmed with tears; I have felt his hand caressing When my heart was torn by fears. When the shadows gathered o’er me, And the gloom fell deep as night, In the darkness, just before me, There were tokens of his light. Refrain: I have victory in temptation, Peace amid the tempest’s roar; I abide in his salvation, We are one for evermore. 2 I was wandering, and he found me, Brought me from the verge of Hell; I was bruised, and he bound me, Sick was I, he made me well. I was wounded, and he healed me When a-wearied of the strife; I was erring, and he sealed me, Dead, his Spirit gave me life. 3 By his life’s blood he has claimed me As a jewel in his sight; As his own child he has named me, Brought me forth to walk in light. So I’m fighting till he calls me, Walking in the path he trod; And I care not what befalls me Living in the life of God. Topics: The gospel Witness

My soul is now united to Christ, the living vine

Author: Hugh Bourne (1772-1852); William Sanders (b 1799) Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul is now united to Christ, the living vine; His grace I long have slighted, but now I feel him mine; I was to God a stranger till Jesus took me in, He freed my soul from danger and pardoned all my sin. 2 Soon as my all I ventured on the atoning blood, The Holy Spirit entered, and I was born of God; My sins are all forgiven, I feel his blood applied, And I shall go to Heaven if I in Christ abide. 3 By floods and flames surrounded, I still my way pursue, Nor shall I be confounded, with Glory in my view; Still Christ is my salvation; what can I covet more? I fear no condemnation, my Father’s wrath is o’er. Topics: The gospel Witness

O sing of his mighty love

Author: Francis Bottome (1823-94) Appears in 136 hymnals First Line: O bliss of the purified, bliss of the free Lyrics: 1 O bliss of the purified, bliss of the free! I plunge in the crimson tide opened for me. O’er sin and uncleanness exulting I stand, And point to the print of the nails in his hand. Refrain: O sing of his mighty love, Sing of his mighty love, Sing of his mighty love, Mighty to save! 2 O bliss of the purified, Jesus is mine! No longer in dread condemnation I pine. Quite sure of salvation I sing of his grace, Who lifted upon me the smile of his face. 3 O bliss of the purified, bliss of the pure! No wound hath the soul that his blood cannot cure The sorrowing heart shall in Jesus find rest, The tears of the mourner be dried on his breast. 4 O Jesus the crucified, thee will I sing, My blessèd redeemer, my God and my King! My soul filled with rapture shall shout o’er the grave And triumph in death in the mighty to save. Topics: The gospel Witness

We'll all shout hallelujah

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 707 hymnals First Line: O how happy are they who the Saviour obey Lyrics: 1 O how happy are they who the Saviour obey, And have laid up their treasure above. Tongue can never express the sweet comfort and peace Of a soul filled with Jesus’ love. Refrain: We’ll all shout hallelujah As we march along the way. We will sing redeeming love With the shining host above, And with Jesus we’ll be happy all the day. 2 That sweet comfort is mine now the favour divine I’ve received through the blood of the Lamb; With my heart I believe, and what joy I receive, What a Heaven in Jesus’ name! 3 ‘Tis a Heaven below my redeemer to know, And the angels can do nothing more Than to fall at his feet and the story repeat, And the lover of sinners adore. 4 O the rapturous height of the holy delight Which I feel in the life-giving blood! Of my Saviour possessed, I am perfectly blessèd, As if filled with the Heaven of God. Topics: The gospel Witness

O Jesus, O Jesus, how vast thy love to me

Author: Anon Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, O Jesus, how vast thy love to me! I’ll bathe in its full ocean to all eternity; And wending on to Glory this all my song shall be: I was a guilty sinner, but Jesus died for me. 2 O Calvary, O Calvary, the thorn, the crown, the spear! ‘Tis there thy love, my Jesus, in flowing wounds appears; O depths of love and mercy, to those dear wounds I flee; I was a guilty sinner, but Jesus died for me. 3 I’m coming, I’m coming, dear Jesus, to thy throne, A few more fleeting hours and I shall be at home; And when I reach those pearly gates then I’ll put in this plea: I was a guilty sinner, but Jesus died for me. 4 In Glory, in Glory, for ever with the Lord, I’ll tune my harp and with the saints will sing in sweet accord; And as I strike those golden strings, this all my theme shall be: I was a guilty sinner, but Jesus pardoned me.

Author: Emma Booth-Tucker (1860-1903) Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: O my heart is full of music and of gladness Lyrics: 1 O my heart is full of music and of gladness, As on wings of love and faith I upward fly; Not a shadow-cloud my Saviour’s face obscuring, While I’m climbing to my homestead in the sky. Refrain: O I’m climbing up the golden stair to Glory, O I’m climbing with my golden crown before me, I am climbing in the light, I am climbing day and night, I shall shout with all my might when I get there! O I’m climbing up the golden stair to Glory, O I’m climbing with my golden crown before me, I am climbing in the light, I am climbing day and night, I am climbing up the golden stair! 2 Every day it seems I want to love him better, Every day it seems I want to serve him more, Every day I strive to climb the ladder faster, Every effort brings me nearer Canaan’s shore. 3 O the joy of getting others to climb with me! Lost, despairing, broken-hearted, all may come; Calvary-love has made the stair a very wide one; Sinners, lay your burden down and hasten home. Topics: The gospel Witness
