Just as I Am, Without One Plea
Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E9 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Atonement-Justification Lyrics: 1 Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
2 Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
3 Just as I am, tho' tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
4 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
5 Just as I am; Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because Thy promise I believe;
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
6 Just as I am; Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come! Languages: English Tune Title: WOODWORTH

Our nature fell in Adam's fall
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a247 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Catechism Justification Lyrics: 1 Our nature fell in Adam's fall,
One common sin infects us all,
From sire to son the bane descends,
And over all the curse impends
2 Corruption creeps through all our powers,
And withers all life's heavenly flowers;
In guilt we draw our earliest breath,
And reap its fruits of woe and death.
3 From hearts depraved, to evil prone,
Flow thoughts and deed of sin alone;
God's image lost, the darkened soul
Nor seeks nor finds its heavenly goal.
4 But Christ, the second Adam, came
To bear our sin and woe and shame,
To be our life, and by His grace
To new-create our fallen race.
5 Thanks, Savior! that new life is ours,
That grace has changed our broken powers;
O, still that saving grace extend,
To make us steadfast to the end. Languages: English
Our nature fell in Adam's fall
As by one's sin fell all our kin
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a248 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Catechism Justification Lyrics: 1 As by one's sin fell all our kin,
Conceived and born sin-stained,
So by One's grace, who took the place
Of all, are all regained.
2 The blood-red tide from Christ's cleft side,
Shed for the good of all,
Is laver pure to cleanse and cure
All lost in Adam's fall.
3 Of it are born, though one forlorn,
The saints in Him baptized,
Its life receive all who believe
That Jesus is the Christ.
4 His righteousness is crown and dress
Of those who own Him Lord,
Who, sin-oppressed, find in Him rest,
And keep His faithful Word.
5 To God be praise through endless days,
In whom we live and move,
God—Father, Son, and Spirit—One,
The Triune God of Love! Languages: English
As by one's sin fell all our kin
To us salvation now has come
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a249 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Justification Lyrics: 1 To us salvation now has come,
God's wondrous grace revealing;
Works never can avert our doom,
They have no power of healing.
Faith looks to God's beloved Son,
Who has for us deliv'rance won,
He is our great Redeemer!
2 What God's most holy precept claims
No child of Adam renders;
But from the throne dread vengeance flames,
And speaks the curse in thunders.
The flesh ne'er prompts those pure desires
That 'boce all else the Law requires
Relief by Law is hopeless!
3 But all the Law must be fulfilled,
Or we must sink despairing;
Then came the Son—-so God had willed,--
Our human nature sharing,
Who for us all the Law obeyed,
And thus His Father's vengeance stayed,
Which over us impended.
4 Now to the God of matchless grace,
To Father, Son, and Spirit,
We lift our highest songs of praise,
All praise His favors merit.
All He has said He will perform,
And save us by His mighty arm, --
His worthy name be hallowed! Languages: English
To us salvation now has come
Dear Christians, one and all rejoice
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a250 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Justification Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God has done,
How His right arm the vict'ry won;
Right dearly it hath cost Him.
2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay;
Death brooded darkly o'er me.
Sin was my torment night and day;
In sin my mother bore me.
Deeper and deeper still I fell;
My life became a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3 My good works so imperfect were,
They had no power to aid me;
My will God's judgments could not bear,
Yea, prone to evil made me:
Grief drove me to despair, and I
Had nothing left me but to die;
To hell I fast was sinking
4 Then God beheld my wretched state
With deep commiseration;
He thought upon His mercy great,
And willed my soul's salvation;
He turned to me a Father's heart;
Not small the cost! to heal my heart;
Not small the cost! to heal my smart,
He gave His best and dearest.
5 He spoke to His beloved Son:
'Tis time to have compassion:
Then go, bright Jewel of my crown,
And bring to man salvation;
From sin and sorrow set him free;
Slay bitter death for him, that he
May live with Thee forever.
6 The Son obeyed right cheerfully,
And, born of virgin mother,
Came down upon the earth to me,
That He might be my brother:
His mighty power doth work unseen,
He came in fashion poor and mean,
And took the devil captive.
7 He sweetly said, 'Hold fast by Me,
I am thy Rock and Castle.
Your ransom I myself will be;
For thee I strive and wrestle:'
For I am with thee, I am thine
And evermore thou shalt be mine,
The foe shall not divide us.
8 The foe shall shed my precious blood,
Me of my life bereaving;
All this I suffer for thy good,
Be steadfast and believing:
Life shall from death the vict'ry win,
My innocence shall bear thy sin,
So art thou blest forever.
9 Now to My Father I depart,
From earth to heaven ascending,
Thence heavenly wisdom to impart,
The Holy Spirit sending:
He shall in trouble comfort thee,
Teach thee to know and follow me,
And to the truth conduct thee.
10 What I have done and taught, teach thou,
My ways forsake thou never,
So shall my kingdom flourish now,
And God be praised, forever:
And God be praised, forever:
Take heed lest men with base alloy
The heavenly treasure should destroy;
This counsel I bequeath thee. Languages: English
Dear Christians, one and all rejoice
Now I have found the firm foundation
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a251 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Justification Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the firm foundation,
Where evermore my anchor grounds!
It lay there ere the world's creation,
Where else, but in my Savior's wounds?
Foundation, which unmoved shall stay,
When earth and heaven pass away.
2 It is that mercy never ending
Which human wisdom far transcends,
Of Him, who, love's arms extending,
To wretched sinners condescends;
Whose heart with pity still doth break,
Whether we seek Him or forsake.
3 Our ruin God has not intended,
He wills salvation to bestow;
For this the Son to earth descended
And then to Heaven again returned;
For this so patient evermore
He knocketh at our heart’s closed door.
4 O depth of love, in which past finding,
My sins through Christ's blood disappear;
This is for wounds the safest binding,
There is no condemnation here;
For Jesus’ blood forever cries:
Free mercy, mercy, to the skies!
5 I never will forget this crying;
In faith I’ll trust it all my days,
And, when o’er all my sins I’m sighing,
I toward my Father’s heart will gaze;
This always doth to me extend
A mercy the will never end.
6 Be it with me as He is willing,
Whose mercy is a boundless sea;
May He himself my heart be stilling,
That this may ne'er forgotten be;
Then it will rest, in joy and woe,
On mercy, while it beats below.
7 On this foundation I, unshrinking,
Will stand, while I on earth remain;
This shall engage my acting, thinking,
While I the breath of life retain;
Then sin I in eternity,
Unfathomed Mercy, still of Thee. Languages: English
Now I have found the firm foundation
By grace I'm saved--grace free and boundless!
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a252 (1895) Topics: The Catechism Justification Lyrics: 1 By grace I'm saved—grace free and boundless!
My heart believ'st thou this or not?
Why trembliest thou with terror groundless?
His word is true—then this must be:
By grace there is a crown for thee.
2 By grace! our works are all rejected,
All claims of merit pass for naught;
The mighty Savior, long expected,
To us this blissful truth has brought,
That He by death redeems our race,
And we are saved alone by grace.
3 By grace! mark well this phrase's meaning,
When sin rolls sorrows o'er thy breast,
When Satan threats with pride o'erweening,
When troubled conscience sighs for rest:
What reason ne'er can comprehend
It pleases God by grace to send.
4 By grace His Son, on earth appearing,
Vouchsafed beneath thy woe to bend;
Hadst thou, damnation justly fearing,
Done aught to render Him thy friend?
Was't not that He thy welfare sought,
And but by grace deliverance wrought?
5 By grace! this ground of our salvation
As long as God is true endures:
What saints have penned by inspiration,
What God to our poor souls secures,
What all our faith must rest upon,
Is grace, free grace through His dear Son.
6 By grace! but think not, thou who livest
Securely on in godless ways,
That thou, though all are called, receivest
The promised rest that wakes our praise:
By grace none find in heaven a place
Who live in sin in hope of grace.
7 By grace! They who have heard this sentence
Must bid hypocrisy farewell;
For only after deep repentance
The soul what grace imports can tell;
To sin while grace a trifle seems,
To faith it bright with glory beams.
8 By grace the timid hearts that languish,
Find access to the Father's heart,
When conflicts fierce and bitter anguish
Bid all their joy and hopes depart.
Where, ofttimes, should I strength obtain,
Did grace my anchor not remain!
9 By grace! on this in death I'll rest me,
Rejoicing e'ev though feeling naught;
I know my sin—it oft oppressed me—
But Him, too, who my soul hath bought:
My heart exults—grief flees apace—
Because my soul is saved by grace.
10 By grace! O sin and Satan hear it!
I bear my flag of faith on hand,
And pass, in spite of doubts, nor fear it,
The Red Sea to the promised land;
I hold the word my Savior taught
As certain, whether felt or not. Languages: English
By grace I'm saved--grace free and boundless!
Not all the blood of beasts
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a253 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Catechism Justification Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts
On Jewish altars slain
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain.
2 But Christ, the heav'nly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away;
A sacrifice of nobler name
And richer blood than they.
3 My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of Thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.
4 My soul looks back to see
The burden Thou didst bear
When hanging on the cursed tree;
And knows her guilt was there.
5 Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice
And sing His bleeding love. Languages: English
Not all the blood of beasts
Lamb of God, we fall before Thee
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a254 (1895) Topics: The Catechism 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 Savior,
Only source of all that’s good.
Ev'ry grace and ev'ry favor
Comes to us through Jesus’ blood.
3 Jesus gives us true repentance,
By His Spirit sent from heav’n;
Whispers this transporting sentence,
"Son thy sins are all forgiv'n."
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. Languages: English
Lamb of God, we fall before Thee
