Peace, by the Blood of the Cross

Author: John Relly Meter: Irregular Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 First Line: My dear Master, Jesus Christ Lyrics: 1 My dear Master Jesus Christ, For peace to thee I fly; In the Saviour, I am blest To all eternity: Free from care, and sin, and strife, I rest in my dear bridegroom's love! Ever living in that Life, Which Jesus lives above. 2 O! the heights of Jesus's grace, Which I so richly view, Saviour, in thy lov'd embrace Are blessings ever new: Blessings, constant as the day, Flows from that wounded heart of thine; All the force of words can't say How glorious, how divine. 3 Lost in wonder, I alore The mighty Prince of Life; Him to praise for evermore, Be now my only strife: That God might not frown on me, Nor doom my soul to banishment, He upon the shameful tree To suffer was content. 4 Patient he the cross endur'd Did all the shame despise, Well he knew and was assur'd, This bloody sacrifice Should his children all complete In spotless truth and purity; This the joy before him set When he engag'd to die. 5 Here my sin and curse was drown'd, Redemption here obtain'd; Here the peace, once lost, and found, And Life eternal gain'd: Dead upon the cross, in him, Atonement for my sin I see, Weeping from each lifeless limb, For enemies, for me. Topics: The Death of Jesus, who Died for All; Who tasted Death for Every Man

The Builder, whom true Wisdom sways

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:9 Lyrics: 1 The Builder, whom true Wisdom sways, First, the Foundation deeply lays; Prepar'd against each Shock: Our Builder, sure of his own Plan, Founded us deeply in the Man, On God, th' eternal Rock. 2 Christ is that precious Corner-Stone, Which all his Church is built upon; Nor can it ever fall: The Prophets, and Apostles too, Other Foundations never knew Than Jesus, Lord of all. 3 Christ, in this Building is the Door; And always open to the Poor, Who would approach their God: Nor, tho' they're naked, need they fear; For Christ is yea; boldly draw near, And plead redeeming Blood. 4 As Windows, rang'd, admit the Light To chase the Horrors of the Night, Enlightning every Part: So, in our Saviour's lovely Face, The Godhead shines in Love and Grace, To cheer the human Heart. 5 The Stone the Builders did refuse, Which human Wisdom ne'er will choose, Is here the Head-stone seen: Brought forth with Joy to make all fast; Christ is the first Stone and the last; The Church is safe between. 6 The spacious Roof, extended wide, Lock'd in secure on ev'ry Side, Braves all the Storms that fall: Christ is that Cov'ring, suited well, To shelter Man from Storms of Hell; O Christ! thou art our All.

While toil and warfare urge us on our way

Author: A. L. Waring Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:21-22 Lyrics: While toil and warfare urge us on our way, And heart is answering heart in signs of pain, Have we no words of strengthening joy to say — No songs for those who suffer but to reign? O for the faithful mind, the steadfast eye, To keep our Leader's glory full in sight, And make our converse, even while we die, An interchange of triumph and delight. Behold, the paths of life are ours — we see Our blest inheritance where'er we tread; Sorrow and danger our security, And disappointment lifting up our head. Kings unto God, we may not doubt our power, We may not languish when He says, “Be strong” — We must move on through every adverse hour, And take possession as we pass along. Yes, all is for us — nothing shall withstand Our faithful, valiant, persevering claim; — The rod of God's Anointed in our hand, And our assurance His unchanging name. We need no haste where He, has said “Be still” — No peace where He has charged us to contend; Only the fearless love to do His will, And to show forth His honor to the end. O ye that faint and die, arise and live! Sing, ye that all things have a charge to bless! If He is faithful who hath sworn to give, Then be ye also faithful, and possess. Take thy whole portion with thy Master's mind — Toil, hindrance, hardness, with His virtue take — And think how short a time thy heart may find To labor or to suffer for His sake. Count all the pains that speed thee to thy rest Among the riches of thy purchased right, Yea, bind them in His name upon thy breast, As jewels for the Bride, the Lamb's delight. And love shall teach us while on Him we lean, That, in the certainty of coming bliss, We may be yearning for a world unseen, Yet wear our beautiful array in this. Ours be a loyal love for service tried, To show, by deeds and words and looks that cheer, How He can bless the scene in which He died, And fill His house with glory even here.

Together

Sorrell Meter: 7.7.11.7.7.12 with refrain Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:9 First Line: Long ago the prophets told Refrain First Line: Together, together Lyrics: 1 Long ago the prophets told Of the time we now behold, When the glorious church or city of our God Would upon a mountain stand, As a light to all the land, And to it the nations all would flow together. Refrain: Together, together, We were raised up together from the miry clay of sin, And we dwell now together, every heart to heart akin; We in heav’nly places sit, For we’re framed and joined and knit, In the love of Christ our Savior together. 2 From the loathsome plains of sin, Where our suff’ring souls had been Held in bondage under Satan’s tyrant sway, To the mount of holiness, High above unrighteousness, Jesus’ love has gathered all of us together. [Refrain] 3 We’re the temple of the Lord, Built together on His word, And our Father in His temple ever dwells; We will walk together here, In His love and godly fear, And our voices shall exalt His name together. [Refrain] 4 In this temple of our God We’re admitted through the blood Which the Savior shed to cleanse and make us whole, Then we’re “lively stones” indeed, Conqu’rors through the holy seed, And are pillars in the church of God forever. [Refrain] 5 Of the church of God alone Jesus is the “Corner stone,” And the standard is the plumbline of His word; With His Spirit as our guide Who has come with us to ’bide— Sanctified, the light, the truth we see together. [Refrain] 6 There are many souls in sin, Jesus seeks to bring them in; Let us work together with the Lord today: Then when all the work is done, And He comes to claim His own, We’ll be caught up in the clouds with Him together.
