O The Blood, The Precious Blood

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O the blood, the precious blood, That streams from yonder tree! Glory to th’ incarnate God Who suffers death for me! Me to save from endless pain, Me to mount above the skies, God becomes a mortal man, And bows His head and dies. 2 Him as on the altar laid Ev’n now by faith I view, Suffering in the sinner’s stead The death to sinners due: Say not ye, the deed is past, Now His mortal pang I feel, Still He pants, and groans His last, He dies for sinners still. 3 Close beneath the cursèd wood My prostrate soul remains, Gasping for the balmy blood That starts from Jesus’ veins: Wilt Thou not one drop afford? Yes, Thou dost the comfort give: O my bleeding, loving Lord, Thou diedst that I may live. 4 Rivers of salvation flow And springs of life from Thee, Saved from sin, I live, I know Thy blood hath ransomed me: Now I catch the healing tide Now I taste how good Thou art, Now I feel the blood applied, The pardon to my heart.

Jesus, Fix Thy Kingdom Here

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Jesus, fix Thy kingdom here! Lyrics: 1 Jesus, fix Thy kingdom here! Thy kingdom is the stone, Sent from Heav’n in man t’appear, And stand on earth alone; Let it now the image smite, Break the iron and the clay, Conquer, not by power or might, And force the world t’obey. 2 By this stone to powder ground The kingdoms all shall be: Then their place no more is found, When earth submits to Thee; Let Thy kingdom now prevail, All opposing power disperse, To a boundless mountain swell, And fill the universe.

Let the last on earth take place, Never, never to decline; Founded in perpetual grace, The monarchy divine. 2 Lord, as taught by Thee, we pray That sin and death may end; In the great millennial day With all Thy saints descend; Now displayed with glorious power Let that final empire rise, Stand, when time shall be no more, Eternal in the skies.

Once A Woman Silent Stood

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once a woman silent stood While Jesus sat at meat; From her eyes she poured a flood, To wash His sacred feet: Shame and wonder, joy and love, All at once possessed her mind, That she e’er so vile could prove, Yet now forgiveness find. 2 "How came this vile woman here? Will Jesus notice such? Sure, if He a prophet were, He would disdain her touch!" Simon thus, with scornful heart, Slighted one whom Jesus loved, But her Savior took her part, And thus his pride reproved. 3 "If two men in debt were bound, One less, the other more; Fifty, or five hundred pound, And both alike were poor; Should the lender both forgive, When he saw them both distressed; Which of them would you believe, Engaged to love him best?" 4 "Surely he who much did owe," The Pharisee replied; Then our Lord, “By judging so, Thou dost for her decide: Simon, if like her you knew, How much you forgiveness need; You like her had acted too, And welcomed Me indeed! 5 "When the load of sin is felt, And much forgiveness known; Then the heart of course will melt, Though hard before as stone: Blame not then, her love and tears, Greatly she in debt has been: But I have removed her fears, And pardoned all her sin." 6 When I read this woman’s case, Her love and humble zeal; I confess, with shame of face, My heart is made of steel; Much has been forgiv’n to me, Jesus paid my heavy score, What a creature must I be, That I can love no more!

When Descending from the Sky

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When descending from the sky The Bridegroom shall appear; And the solemn midnight cry, Shall call professors near: How the sound our hearts will damp! How will shame o’erspread each face! If we only have a lamp, Without the oil of grace. 2. Foolish virgins then will wake And seek for a supply; But in vain the pains they take To borrow or to buy: Then with those they now despise, Earnestly they’ll wish to share; But the best, among the wise, Will have no oil to spare. 3. Wise are they, and truly blest, Who then shall ready be But despair will seize the rest, And dreadful misery: Once, they’ll cry, we scorned to doubt, Though in lies our trust we put; Now our lamp of hope is out, The door of mercy shut. 4. If they then presume to plead, Lord open to us now; We on earth have heard and prayed, And with thy saints did bow: He will answer from his throne, Though you with My people mixed, Yet to Me you ne’er were known, Depart, your doom is fixed. 5. O that none who worship here May hear that word, Depart! Lord impress a godly fear On each professor’s heart: Help us, Lord, to search the camp, Let us not ourselves beguile; Trusting to a dying lamp Without a stock of oil.
