O Boundless Joy! There Is Salvation

Author: J. T. Mueller; Ph. Fr. Hiller, 1699-1769 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 O boundless joy! There is salvation For me, a sinner, vile and base. Though all unworthy of compassion, I oft have spurned the Savior's grace, Yet love prevailed, and mercy mild Sought out the lost and erring child. 2 Wrath should be mine and condemnation, And hell with all its endless pain! Yet here is heaven and salvation, Christ's saving blood to make me clean. O why such priceless gifts for me? 'Tis mercy, mercy vast and free! 3 O Lord, forever and forever, My ransomed soul should voice Thy praise! To Thy great mercy, blessed Savior, My ever-grateful hymns I raise. O wondrous Gospel, holy theme! Christ came us sinners to redeem! 4 O Mercy! never shall Thy glory Be dimmed by time and fade away. My hope is rooted in Thy story, With Thee I fear not when I pray, With Thee I dread no earthly loss, With Thee I bear each painful cross. 5 With Thee, when death's dark clouds shall lower, I take my journey not alone; With Thy sustaining hope and power, I come before the judgment throne, And there in endless praise of Thee I'll sing through all eternity.

Vanish Doubt and Hesitation!

Author: Johann Adolph Schlegel; Samuel Magnus Hill Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Vanish doubt and hesitation! My Redeemer is the Lord. Hearken to His invitation By the Spirit and the Word. Clearly He perceives thy anguish; O my soul, why longer languish! Although I am weak and ill, God remains my Father still. 2 He will pity and relieve me, Who can then condemn my soul? Satan and the world deceive me, Jesus Christ will make me whole. Why, then, should my heart accuse me, Or my conscience still confuse me? God the Father makes me free, And His Spirit comforts me. 3 Jesus Christ for me has suffered, And by faith He is my own. Satisfaction He has offered, And the way to heaven shown. Through His full propitiation I have free and full salvation. He has conquered death and hell; He has thus made all things well. 4 In His merit now confiding, I look up to Him with joy; For His promise is abiding-- Who can now my peace destroy? Weal nor woe shall e'er deprive me Of the portion that He gave me. My Redeemer, Lord divine, I am Thine, forever Thine. Amen. Used With Tune: TVIFLAN UR MIN SJÄL FÖRSVINNE

The peace of God I now possess, Which ev'ry evil can redress. 3 I bid the wicked world defiance, Tho' fiercely it God's Word deride; In Him I place my firm reliance Whose promise ever shall abide; Tho' earth and heaven pass away, His Word shall ever be my stay. 4 How gladly I His promise ponder! Tho' sinful, yet in grace I stand; A heritage awaits me yonder, And heaven is my fatherland. My Lord, as Victor in the strife, Awards to me the crown of life. 5 How good to hear my Savior calling, To see Him even face to face! What bliss, before Him prostrate falling, To find with Him a resting place And with the saints in sweet accord, To sing the praise of Christ, my Lord! Used With Tune: VIG

My Savior Sinners Doth Receive

Author: Leopold F. Lehr Meter: 8.9.8.9.8.8.9.9.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 My Savior sinners doth receive Who find no rest and no salvation, To whom no man can comfort give, So great their guilt and condemnation; For whom the world is all too small, Their sins both them and God appal; With whom the Law itself hath broken, On whom its judgment hath been spoken,-- To them the Gospel hope doth give: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive. 2 A love more deep than mother-love, With which His heart was overflowing, Drew Him on earth from heav’n above, On sinners boundless grace bestowing. He in their stead a curse became, He bore the cross with all its shame; Bro't full atonement by His suff'ring, Gave up His life for them an off'ring. This comfort doth the Gospel give: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive. 3 His loving bosom still remains A haven for the heavy-laden; Christ frees them from their guilty stains, Their burdened hearts doth ease and gladden. He casts into th’unfathomed sea The load of their iniquity; He gives assurance by His Spirit That they are saved through His own merit. Yea, they shall live who this believe: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive. 4 Say not: "My sins are far too great, His mercy I have scorned and slighted, Now my repentance is too late; I came not when His love invited." O trembling sinner, have no fear; In penitence to Christ draw near. Come now, tho' conscience still is chiding; Accept His mercy, e’er abiding. Come; blest are they who this believe: My Savior sinners doth receive. My Savior sinners doth receive. 5 Oh, draw us ever unto Thee, Thou friend of sinners, gracious Savior; Help us that we may fervently Desire Thy pardon, peace, and favor. When guilty conscience doth reprove, Reveal to us Thy heart of love. May we, our wretchedness beholding, See then Thy pardoning grace unfolding And say: "To God all glory be: My Savior, Christ, receiveth me. My Savior, Christ, receiveth me." Amen.

Lamb of God we fall before Thee

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 LAMB of God we fall before Thee, Humbly trusting in Thy cross; That alone be all our glory, All things else are only dross. 2 Thee we own a perfect Saviour, Only Source of all that's good Every grace and every favor Come to us through Jesus' blood. 3 Jesus gives us true repentance, By His Spirit sent from heaven; Whispers this transporting sentence, "Son, thy sins are all forgiven." 4 Faith He grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts His love to prize: Want we wisdom?--He must give it; Hearing ears, and seeing eyes. 5 Jesus gives us pure affections, Wills to do what He requires; Makes us follow His directions, And what He commands, inspires. 6 All our prayers and all our praises, Rightly offered in His name, He that dictates them is Jesus; He that answers is the same.

O mystery of love Divine

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 O mystery of love Divine That thought and thanks o'erpowers! Lord Jesus, was our portion Thine, And is Thy portion ours? 2 Emmanuel, didst Thou take our place To set us in Thine own? Didst Thou our low estate embrace To lift us to Thy throne? 3 Didst Thou fulfill each righteous deed, God's perfect will express, That we, th'unfaithful ones, might plead Thy perfect faithfulness? 4 On Thy pure soul did dread and gloom In that drear garden rise? And ours the brightness and the bloom Of Thine own Paradise? 5 For Thee the Father's hidden face? For Thee the bitter cry? For us the Father's endless grace, The song of victory? 6 Our load of sin and misery Didst Thou, the Sinless, bear? Thy spotless robe of purity Do we, the sinners, wear? 7 Lord Jesus, is it even so? Have we been lovèd thus? What love can we on Thee bestow Who hast exchanged with us? 8 Thou, who our very place didst take, Dwell in our very heart: Thou, who Thy portion ours dost make, Thyself, Thyself, impart.

Blest Is He Who Cries To Heaven

Author: P. C. Paulsen Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Blest is he who cries to heaven In the dark and evil day, Whose transgressions are forgiven And whose sins are washed away; Blest, when God to him imputeth Not iniquity nor sin, And no hidden guile polluteth Spirit, heart, and soul within. 2 Long I kept in silence groaning, While my bones waxed weak and old; Long my heart with grief was moaning And to Thee, O God, was cold. Day and night Thy hand oppressed me, Moisture turned to summer-drought, My transgressions sore distressed me, While in vain I comfort sought. 3 When, from Thee no longer hiding, I confessed my sin to Thee, With my heart in Thee confiding, Thou in love forgavest me. Now my heart is filled with gladness, Thou surroundest me with grace; Songs of joy dispel my sadness, For Thou art my hiding-place. 4 Lord, instruct and teach me ever In the way that I should go; With Thy counsel me deliver From the cunning of the foe. For Thy grace and mercy tender, For Thy table and Thy Word, Thanks to heaven I will render And forever praise Thee, Lord. Scripture: Psalm 32 Used With Tune: JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL
