By grace I'm saved--grace free and boundless!

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a252 (1895) 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.

Not all the blood of beasts

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a253 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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.

Lamb of God, we fall before Thee

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a254 (1895) 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.

Rock of Ages, cleft for me!

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a255 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me! Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side that flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save me, Lord! and make me pure. 2 Should my tears forever flow, Should my zeal no languor know, These for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone; In my hand no price I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling. 3 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eye-lids close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold Thee on Thy throne, Rock of ages, cleft for me! Let me hide myself in Thee. Topics: The Catechism Justification Languages: English

'Tis not by works of righteousness

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a256 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 'Tis not by works of righteousness Which our own hands have done, But we are saved by sov'reign grace Abounding through His Son. 2 'Tis from the mercy of our God That all our hopes begin; 'Tis by the water and the blood Our souls are washed from sin. 3 'Tis through the purchase of His death Who hung upon the tree, The Spirit is sent down to breathe On such dry bones as we. 4 Raised from the dead we live anew. And, justified by grace, We shall appear in glory too, And see our Father's face. Topics: The Catechism Justification Languages: English

Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a258 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress: 'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed, With joy shall I lift up my head. 2 When from the dust of death I rise To take my mansion in the skies, E'ev then shall this be ll my plea— "Jesus hath lived, hath died for me." 3 Bold shall I stand in that great day, Cleansed and redeemed, no debt to pay; Fully absolved through these I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 4 This spotless robe the same appears When ruined nature sinks in years; No age can change its glorious hue, The robe of Christ is ever new. 5 And when the dead shall hear Thy voice, Thy banished children shall rejoice; Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus, the Lord our righteousness.

My hope is built on nothing less

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a259 (1895) Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness: I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. 2 When darkness veils his lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. 3 His oath, His covenant, and blood, Support me in the sinking flood; When every earthly prop gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. 4 When shall I launch to worlds unseen, O may I then be found in Him, Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. Topics: The Catechism Justification Languages: English

It is a time of joy to-day

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a26 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 It is a time of joy to-day, With mourning and with woe away! Woe, woe to him who us reviled! God’s seen in flesh--we’re reconciled. 2 The Lord who bears our sin is here, Who'll bruise the serpent's head is near, The death of death--the woe of hell-- The Lord of Life with us doth dwell. 3 All foes are put our feet beneath, For sin and Satan, hell and death, Are brought to shame and put to flight Upon this great, this wondrous night. 4 Oh! happy world, thrice happy they, Who on this lowly Infant stay Their souls, and with believing eyes In Him their Savior recognize. 5 Now praise the Lord whoe'er can praise-- Who, from their low estate to raise His enemies, from his high throne Sent down His loved, His only Son. 6 Up! join the angel host and cry, Now glory be to God most High; Let peace prevail the world around, Good-will to men and joy abound.

Christ's crimson blood and rightedousness

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a260 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Christ's crimson blood and righteousness My glory are and spotless dress; In this before my God I'll stand And enter heaven, my fatherland. 2 And should I through Christ's merits prove Yet e'er so faithful in my love, That I could keep from wrong alway And sin not, to my dying day, 3 Still would I, when I Christ shall see, Not think of zeal or piety, But this: a sinner nears the throne Whose plea for life is grace alone. 4 Being praised, O Jesus, without end, That Thou from heaven didst descend, And hast for me a ransom paid— For a full atonement made.
