When I confessed my wandering way
O 'twas a joyful sound to hear
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 118 hymnals Topics: Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 O 'twas a joyful sound to hear
Our tribes devoutly say,
Up, Israel! to the temple haste,
And keep your festal day.
2 At Salem's courts we must appear
With our assembled pow'rs,
In strong and beauteous order ranged,
Like her united tow'rs.
3 O pray we then for Salem's peace;
For they shall prosp'rous be,
Thou holy city of our God,
Who bear true love to thee.
4 May peace within thy sacred walls
A constant guest be found;
With plenty and prosperity
Thy palaces be crowned.
5 For my dear brethren's sake, and friends
No less than brethren dear, I'll pray,
May peace in Salem's tow'rs
A constant guest appear.
6 But most of all I'll seek thy good,
And ever wish thee well,
For Zion and the temple's sake,
Where God vouchsafes to dwell.

Behold! the mountain of the Lord
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 184 hymnals Topics: Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 Behold! the mountain of the Lord
In latter days shall rise
On mountain tops above the hills,
And draw the wond'ring eyes.
2 To this the joyful nations round,
All tribes and tongues, shall flow;
Up to the hill of God, they'll say,
And to his house we'll go.
3 The beam that shines from Zion hill
Shall lighten ev'ry land;
The King who reigns in Salem's tow'rs
Shall all the world command.
4 Among the nations he shall judge;
His judgments truth shall guide;
His sceptre shall protect the just,
And quell the sinner's pride.
5 Come then, O house of Jacob, come
To worship at his shrine;
And, walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine.

By Grace I'm Saved, Grace Free and Boundless
Author: Christian L. Scheidt Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Holy Scriptures Infallibility of Lyrics: 1 By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless;
my soul, believe and doubt it not.
Why stagger at this word of promise?
Has Scripture ever falsehood taught?
No; then this word must true remain:
by grace you, too, shall heav'n obtain.
2 By grace! None dare lay claim to merit;
our works and conduct have no worth.
God in his love sent our Redeemer,
Christ Jesus, to this sinful earth;
his death did for our sins atone,
and we are saved by grace alone.
3 By grace! O mark this word of promise
when you are by your sins oppressed,
when Satan plagues your troubled conscience,
and when your heart is seeking rest.
What reason cannot comprehend
God by his grace to you will send.
4 By grace! This ground of faith is certain;
So long as God is true, it stands.
What saints have penned by inspiration,
what in his Word our God commands,
what our whole faith must rest upon,
is grace alone, grace in his Son.
Scripture: Ephesians 2:8-9 Used With Tune: MENTZER
By Grace I'm Saved, Grace Free and Boundless
