O could I speak the matchless worth

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #326 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 O could I speak the matchless worth, O could I sound the glories forth Which in my Saviour shine, I'd soar and touch the heav'nly strings, And vie with Gabriel, while he sings In notes almost divine. 2 I'd sing the precious blood he spilt, My ransom from the dreadful guilt Of sin and wrath divine: I'd sing his glorious righteousness, In which all perfect heavenly dress My soul shall ever shine. 3 I'd sing the characters he bears, And all the forms of love he wears, Exalted on his throne: In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all his glories known. 4 Well, the delightful day will come, When my dear Lord will bring me home, And I shall see his face: Then with my Saviour, brother, friend, A blest eternity I'll spend, Triumphant in his grace. Scripture: Isaiah 35:2

There is a fountain fill'd with blood

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #327 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood Drawn from Emmanuel's veins; And sinners plung'd beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoic'd to see That fountain in his day; O there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away! 3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransom'd church of God Be sav'd, to sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing thy power to save; When this poor lisping stamm'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave. 6 Lord, I believe thou hast prepar'd (Unworthy though I be) For me a blood-bought free reward, A golden harp for me! 7 'Tis strung, and tun'd, for endless years, And form'd by power divine; To sound in God the Father's ears No other name but thine. Scripture: Zechariah 13:1

Scripture: Psalm 63:7

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #329 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Let earth and heaven agree; Angels and men be joined, To celebrate with me The Saviour of mankind: T'adore the all-atoning Lamb, And bless the sound of Jesus' name. 2 Jesus! transporting sound! The joy of earth and heaven; No other help is found, No other name is given, By which we can salvation have, But Jesus came the world to save. 3 Jesus! harmonious name! It charms the host above; They evermore proclaim, And wonder at his love; 'Tis all their happiness to gaze, 'Tis heaven to see our Jesus' face. 4 Stung by the scorpion sin, My poor expiring soul The balmy sound drinks in, And is at once made whole: See there my Lord upon the tree! I hear, I feel he died for me. 5 O unexampled love! O all-redeeming grace! How swiftly didst thou move To save a fallen race. What shall I do to make it known, What thou for all mankind hast done? 6 O for a trumpet voice, On all the world to call; To bid their hearts rejoice In him who died for all! For all my Lord was crucified! For all, for all my Saviour died. 7 To serve thy blessed will, Thy dying love to praise, Thy counsel to fulfil, And minister thy grace, Freely what I receive to give, The life of heaven on earth I live.

Come, see, ye worms, your Maker die, And say, was ever grief like his? Come, feel with me his blood applied; My Lord, my Love, is crucified: 3 Is crucified for me and you, To bring us rebels back to God: Believe, believe the record true, Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood; Pardon for all flows from his side: My Lord, my love, is crucified. 4 Then let us sit beneath his cross, And gladly catch the healing stream: All things for him account but loss, And give up all our hearts to him; Of nothing think or speak beside, The Lord, my Love is crucified.

Mine eyes with joy And wonder see, What forms of love He bears for me. 3 Array'd in mortal flesh, He like an angel stands, And holds the promises And pardons in his hands; Commmission'd from His Father's throne, To make his grace To mortals known. 4 Great Prophet of my God! My tongue would bless thy name: By thee the joyful news Of our salvation came; The joyful news Of sin forgiv'n, Of hell subdu'd, And peace with heav'n.

Where all divine perfections meet To reconcile rebellious man! 4 There wisdom shines in fullest blaze, And justice all her rights maintains! He paid to justice all her due, And now he fills the mercy-seat. 6 Such are the wonders of our God, And such th'amazing depths of grace, To save from wrath's vindictive rod, The sons of Adam's fallen race. 7 With grateful songs, then let our souls Surround our gracious Father's throne; And all between the distant poles His truth and mercy ever own.

Hail, boundless love, that first began

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #334 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Hail, boundless love, that first began The scheme to rescue fallen man! Hail, matchless, free, eternal grace, That gave my soul a hiding-place. 2 Against the God that rules the sky I fought with hands uplifted high; Despis'd his rich, abounding grace, Too proud to seek a hiding-place. 3 But thus th'eternal counsel ran, "Almighty love arrest that man;" I felt the arrows of distress, And found I had no hiding-place. 4 Indignant justice stood in view, To Sinai's fiery mount I flew; But justice cry'd with frowning face, "This mountain is no hiding-place." Scripture: Isaiah 32:2

Where shall the tribes of Adam find

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #335 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Where shall the tribes of Adam find The sovereign good to fill the mind? Ye sons of moral wisdom, show The spring whence living waters flow. 2 Say, will the stoic's flinty heart Melt, and this cordial juice impart? Could Plato find these blissful streams, Amongst his raptures and his dreams? 3 In vain I ask--for nature's power Extends but to this mortal hour: 'Twas but a poor relief she gave Against the terrors of the grave. 4 Jesus, our kinsman, and our God, Array'd in majesty and blood, Thou art our life! our souls in thee Possess a full felicity! 5 All our immortal hopes are laid, In thee our surety and our head; Thy cross, thy cradle, and thy throne, Are big with glories yet unknown. 6 Here let my soul for ever lie, Beneath the blessings of thine eye; 'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above, To see thy face, to taste thy love.
