My Spirit on Thy Care
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 204 hymnals Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 My spirit on Thy care,
Blest Saviour, I recline;
Thou wilt not leave me to despair,
For Thou art Love divine.
2 In Thee I place my trust,
On Thee I calmly rest;
I know Thee good, I know Thee just,
And count Thy choice the best.
3 Whate'er events betide,
Thy will they all perform;
Safe in Thy breast my head I hide,
Nor fear the coming storm.
4 Let good or ill befall,
It must be good for me,
Secure of having Thee in all,
Of having all in Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL
My Spirit on Thy Care
One There is Above all Others
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 691 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend.
His is love beyond a brother’s,
Costly, free, and knows no end.
They who once His kindness prove,
Find it everlasting love.
2 Which of all our friends to save us
Could or would have shed His blood?
But this Saviour died to have us
Reconciled in Him to God:
This was boundless love indeed:
Jesus is a Friend in need.
3 When He lived on earth abaséd,
Friend of sinners was His Name:
Now, above all glory raiséd,
He rejoices in the same:
Still He calls them brethren, friends,
And to all their wants attends.
4 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love.
We, alas! forget too often
What a Friend we have above:
But when home our souls are brought,
We will love Thee as we ought.
Amen. Used With Tune: AMEN SJUNGE HVARJE TUNGA
One There is Above all Others
There is a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 929 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea:
There’s a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.
There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Savior;
There is healing in His blood.
2 There is no place where earth’s sorrows
Are more felt than up in heaven;
There is no place where earth’s failings
Have such kindly judgment given.
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
3 For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of man's mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple,
We should take Him at His word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord. Used With Tune: RIPLEY
There is a Wideness in God's Mercy
Blessed are the sons of God
Appears in 207 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Blessed are the sons of God,
They are bought with Christ's own blood;
They are ransomed from the grave,
Life eternal they shall have;
With them numbered may we be,
Here and in eternity.
2 They are justified by grace,
They enjoy the Savior's peace;
All their sins are washed away,
They shall stand in God's great day:
With them numbered may we be,
Here and in eternity.
3 They are lights upon the earth,
Children of a heavenly birth;
One with God, with Jesus one,
Glory is in them begun:
With them numbered may we be,
Here and in eternity.
Blessed are the sons of God
I Was a Wandering Sheep
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 504 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 I was a wandering sheep,
I did not love the fold;
I did not love my Shepherd's voice,
I would not be controlled.
I was a wayward child,
I did not love my home;
I did not love my Father's voice,
I loved afar to roam.
2 The Shepherd sought His sheep,
The Father sought His child;
They followed me o'er vale and hill,
O'er deserts waste and wild:
They found me nigh to death,
Famished, and faint, and lone;
They bound me with the bands of love,
They found the wandering one.
3 Jesus my Shepherd is,
'Twas He that loved my soul.
'Twas He that washed me in His blood,
'Twas He that made me whole.
'Twas He that sought the lost,
That found the wandering sheep;
'Twas He that brought me to the fold,
'Tis He that still doth keep.
4 I was a wandering sheep,
I would not be controlled;
But now I love my Shepherd's voice,
I love, I love the fold!
I was a wayward child,
I once preferred to roam;
But now I love my Father's voice,
I love, I love His home.
Amen. Used With Tune: LEBANON

Grace! 'Tis a Charming Sound
Author: Philip Doddridge; Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 844 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Grace, ’tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;
Heav'n with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
2 Grace first contrived the way
To save rebellious man,
And all the steps that grace display
Which drew the wondrous plan.
3 Grace first inscribed my name
In God’s eternal book;
’Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took.
4 Grace led my wand'ring feet
To tread the heav'nly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God.
5 Grace taught my soul to pray
And made mine eyes o’erflow;
’Twas grace which kept me to this day
And will not let me go.
6 Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting days;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.
Amen.

Lord, We Confess Our Numerous Faults
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification First Line: Lord, we confess our num'rous faults Lyrics: 1 Lord, we confess our num'rous faults;
How great our guilt has been!
Foolish and vain were all our tho'ts,
And all our lives were sin.
2 But, O my soul, forever praise,
Forever love His name,
Who turns thy feet from dang'rous ways
Of folly, sin, and shame.
3 ’Tis not by works of righteousness
Which our own hands have done,
But we are saved by God's free grace
Abounding thro' His Son.
4 ’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.
5 ’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.
6 Raised from the dead, we live anew;
And, justified by grace,
We shall appear in glory, too,
And see our Father’s face.
Amen. Scripture: Titus 3:3 Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN
Lord, We Confess Our Numerous Faults
Thy Works, Not Mine, O Christ
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Thy works, not mine, O Christ,
Speak gladness to this heart;
They tell me all is done;
They bid my fear depart.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
2 Thy wounds, not mine, O Christ,
Can heal my bruised soul;
Thy stripes, not mine, contain
The balm that makes me whole.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
3 Thy cross, not mine, O Christ,
Has borne the awful load
Of sins that none could bear
But the incarnate God.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
4 Thy death, not mine, O Christ,
Has paid the ransom due;
Ten thousand deaths like mine
Would have been all too few.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
5 Thy righteousness, O Christ,
Alone can cover me:
No righteousness avails
Save that which is of Thee.
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
Amen. Scripture: Philippians 3:9 Used With Tune: ST. JOHN

Alas! and Did my Savior Bleed?
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,421 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
And did my Sov'reign die,
Would He devote that sacred head
For sinners such as I?
2 Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
And love beyond degree.
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut His glories in,
When God, the mighty Maker, died
For man, the creature's sin.
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.
5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do. Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
Alas! and Did my Savior Bleed?
