Author: Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 232 hymnals Topics: Love Of Christ Lyrics: 1 I saw One hanging on a tree, In agony and blood; Who fixed His languid eyes on me, As near the cross I stood. 2 Sure, never, till my latest breath, Can I forget that look: It seem'd to charge me with His death Though not a word He spoke. 3 Alas! I knew not what I did-- But now my tears are vain; Where shall my trembling soul be hid, For I the Lord have slain! 4 A second look He gave, that said, "I freely all forgive: This blood is for thy ransom paid; I die that thou may'st live." 5 Thus while His death my sin displays In all its blackest hue, Such is the mystery of grace, It seals my pardon too!

All My Heart This Night Rejoices

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Appears in 281 hymnals Topics: Christ Love and Grace of Lyrics: 1 All my heart this night rejoices as I hear far and near sweetest angel voices. "Christ is born," their choirs are singing 'til the air ev'rywhere now with joy is ringing. 2 Forth today the Conqu'ror goeth, who the foe, sin and woe, death and hell, o'erthroweth. God is man, man to deliver; his dear Son now is one with our blood forever. 3 Shall we still dread God's displeasure, who, to save, freely gave his most cherished Treasure? To redeem us, he hath given his own Son from the throne of his might in heaven. 4 He becomes the Lamb that taketh sin away and for aye full atonement maketh. For our life his own he tenders; and our race, by his grace, fit for glory renders. 5 Hark! a voice from yonder manger, soft and sweet, doth entreat, "Flee from woe and danger. Brethren, from all ills that grieve you, you are freed; all you need I will surely give you." 6 Come, then, banish all your sadness, one and all, great and small; come with songs of gladness. Love him who with love is glowing; hail the star, near and far light and joy bestowing. 7 Dearest Lord, thee will I cherish. Though my breath fail in death, yet I shall not perish, but with thee abide forever there on high, in that joy which can vanish never.

Thou art my only trust; And still my soul would cleave to thee, Though prostrate in the dust. 5 Thy mercy-seat is open still, Here let my soul retreat, With humble hope attend thy will, And wait beneath thy feet.
