God ready to forgive; or, Despair sinful

Author: Stogdon Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Pardon First Line: What mean these jealousies and fears Lyrics: 1 What mean these jealousies and fears, As if the Lord were loth to save, Or lov'd to see us drench'd in tears, Or sink with sorrow to the grave? 2 Does he want slaves to grace his throne? Or crush them with an iron rod? Loves he the deep despairing groan? Is he a tyrant, or a God. 3 Not all the sins which we have wrought So much his tender bowels grieve, As this unkind injurious thought, That he's unwilling to forgive. 4 What tho' our crimes are black as night, Or glowing like the crimson morn, Immanuel's blood will make them white As snow thro' the pure aether borne. 5 Lord, 'tis amazing grace we won, And well may rebel-worms surprise, But was not thy incarnate son A most amazing sacrifice? 6 "I've found a ransom," saith the lord, "No humble penitent shall die;" Lord, we would now believe thy word, And thy unbounded mercies try!

The lost Sheep found; or, Joy in Heaven on the Conversion of a Sinner

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Regeneration First Line: When some kind shepherd from his fold Lyrics: 1 When some kind shepherd from his fold, Has lost a straying sheep, Through vales, o'er hills, he anxious roves, And climbs the mountain's steep. 2 But O the joy! the transport sweet! When he the wand'rer finds; Up in his arms he takes his charge, And to his shoulder binds. 3 Homeward he hastes to tell his joys, And make his bliss complete: The neighbours hear the news, and all The joyful shepherd greet. 4 Yet how much greater is the joy When but one sinner turns; When the poor wretch with broken heart, His sins and errors mourns. 5 Pleas'd with the news, the saints below, In songs their tongues employ; Beyond the skies, the tidings go, And Heaven is fill'd with joy. 6 Well-pleas'd the Father sees and hears The conscious sinner weep; Jesus receives him in his arms, And owns him for his sheep. 7 Nor angels can their joys contain, But kindle with new fire: "A wandering sheep's return'd," they sing, And strike the sounding lyre. Scripture: Luke 15:3-4

Human righteousness insufficieint to justify

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Justification First Line: Wherewith O Lord, shall I draw near Lyrics: 1 Wherewith, O Lord, shall I draw near, Or bow myself before thy face? How in thy purer eyes appear? What shall I bring to gain thy grace? 2 Will gifts delight the Lord most high? Will multiply'd oblations please? Thousands of rams his favor buy, Or slaughter'd hecatombs appease. 3 Can these assuage the wrath of God? Can these wash out my guilty stain? Rives of oil, or seas of blood, Alas! they all must flow in vain. 4 What have I then wherein to trust? I nothing have, I nothing am; Excluded is my ev'ry boast, My glory swallow'd up in shame. 5 Guilty, I stand before thy face; My sole desert, is hell and wrath; 'Twere just the sentence should take place, But O, I plead my Savior's death! 6 I plead the merits of thy son Who died for sinners on the tree; I plead his righteousness alone, O put the spotless robe on me. Scripture: Micah 6:6-8

Didst thou without the city bleed To expiate my stains? On earth my God vouchsaf'd to dwell, And made of infinite avail, The suff'rings of the man. 3 And wast thou for transgressors given? And did the incarnate King of Heaven For us his foes expire? Amaz'd, O earth, the tidings hear! He bore, that we might never bear His Father's righteous ire. 4 Ye saints, the man of sorrows bless, The God, for your unrighteousness Deputed to atone: Praise, 'till with all the ransom'd throng Ye sing the never-ending song, And see him on his throne.
