A Debtor to Mercy Alone
Author: Augustus Montague Toplady, 1740-1778 Appears in 101 hymnals Topics: Covenant of Grace Lyrics: 1 A debtor to mercy alone,
of covenant mercy I sing;
nor fear, with thy righteousness on,
my person and off'ring to bring.
The terrors of law and of God
with me can have nothing to do;
my Savior's obedience and blood
hide all my transgressions from view.
2 The work which his goodness began,
the arm of his strength will complete;
his promise is yea and amen,
and never was forfeited yet.
Things future, nor things that are now,
nor all things below or above,
can make him his purpose forgo,
or sever my soul from his love.
3 My name from the palms of his hands
eternity will not erase;
impressed on his heart it remains,
in marks of indelible grace.
Yes, I to the end shall endure,
as sure as the earnest is giv'n;
more happy, but not more secure,
the glorified spirits in heav'n.
Scripture: Romans 8:38-39 Used With Tune: TREWEN

Hail to God's Own Anointed
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 847 hymnals Topics: Covenant Lyrics: 1 Hail to God's own anointed,
great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
God's reign on earth begun!
Christ comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free;
to take away transgression,
and rule in equity.
2 Christ comes with justice surely
to those who suffer wrong,
to help the poor and needy,
and bid the weak be strong,
to give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
are precious in his sight.
3 Christ shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth,
and love, joy, hope, like flowers,
spring in his path to birth.
Before him on the mountains
shall peace, the herald, go,
and righteousness in fountains
from hill to valley flow.
4 To him shall prayer unceasing
and daily vows ascend,
his kingdom still increasing,
a kingdom without end.
The tide of time shall never
his covenant remove.
His name shall stand for ever:
that name to us is Love.

The Tender Love a Father Has
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Church Covenant People Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has
for all his children dear,
such love the Lord bestows on them
who worship him in fear.
2 The Lord remembers we are dust,
and all our frailty knows;
man's days are like the tender grass,
and as the flow'r he grows.
3 The flow'r is withered by the wind
that smites with blighting breath;
so man is quickly swept away
before the blast of death.
4 Unchanging is the love of God,
from age to age the same,
displayed to all who do his will
and reverence his name.
5 Those who his gracious cov'nant keep
the Lord will ever bless;
their children's children shall rejoice
to see his righteousness.

Before Jehovah's Awesome Throne
Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 969 hymnals Topics: Covenant of Grace Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awesome throne,
all nations, bow with sacred joy;
know that the Lord is God alone,
he can create, and he destroy -
he can create, and he destroy.
2 His sovereign pow'r without our aid,
made us of dust and formed us men;
and when like wand'ring sheep we strayed,
he brought us to his fold again -
he brought us to his fold again.
3 We are his people, we his care,
our souls and all our mortal frame:
what lasting honors shall we rear,
almighty Maker, to your name? -
almighty Maker, to your name?
4 We'll crowd your gates with thankful songs,
high as the heav'ns our voices raise;
and earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
shall fill your courts with sounding praise -
shall fill your courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide as the world is your command,
vast as eternity your love;
firm as a rock your truth must stand,
when rolling years shall cease to move -
when rolling years shall cease to move.
Scripture: Psalm 100 Used With Tune: PARK STREET

Jesus! the Name High Over All
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 300 hymnals Topics: Covenant Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the name high over all,
In hell or earth or sky;
Angels and men before it fall,
And devils fear and fly.
Jesus! the name of sinners dear,
The name to sinners given;
It scatters all their guilty fear;
It turns their hell to heaven.
2 Jesus the prisoner's fetters breaks,
And bruises Satan's head;
Power into strengthless souls it speaks,
And life into the dead.
O that the world might taste and see
The riches of His grace!
The arms of love that compass me
Would all mankind embrace.
3 His only righteousness I show,
His saving truth proclaim;
'Tis all my business here below
To cry, "Behold the Lamb!"
Happy, if with my latest breath
I may but gasp His name;
Preach Him to all and cry in death,
"Behold, behold the Lamb!" Scripture: John 4:42 Used With Tune: VARINA
Jesus! the Name High Over All
