Shall atheists dare insult the cross

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #119 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Good works profit men, not God; Works good profit men, not God Lyrics: Shall atheists dare insult the cross Of our Redeemer, God? Shall infidels reproach his laws, Or trample on his blood? What if he choose mysterious ways To cleanse us from our faults? May not the works of sovereign grace Transcend our feeble thoughts? What if his gospel bids us fight With flesh, and self, and sin, The prize is most divinely bright That we are called to win. What if the foolish and the poor His glorious grace partake, This but confirms his truth the more, For so the prophets spake. Do some that own his sacred name Indulge their souls in sin? Jesus should never bear the blame, His laws are pure and clean. Then let our faith grow firm and strong, Our lips profess his word; Nor blush nor fear to walk among The men that love the Lord. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Languages: English

There is a green hill far away

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #184 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Good Works Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. 2 We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains he had to bear; But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 3 He died that we might be forgiv'n, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heav'n, Saved by his precious blood. 4 There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate Of heav'n, and let us in. 5 O dearly, dearly has he loved, And we must love him too, And trust in his redeeming blood, And try his works to do. Amen. Scripture: Romans 5:8 Languages: English Tune Title: MEDITATION
