God's holy law, transgressed
Author: Beddome Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Romans 4:15 Lyrics: 1 God's holy law, transgressed,
Speaks nothing but despair;
Burdened with guilt, with grief oppressed,
We find no comfort there.
2 Not all our groans and tears,
Nor works which we have done,
Nor vows, nor promises, nor prayers,
Can e'er for sin atone.
3 Relief alone is found
In Jesus' precious blood:
'Tis this that heals the mortal wound,
And reconciles to God.
4 High lifted on the cross,
The spotless victim dies:
This is salvation's only source,
Hence all our hopes arise. Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings; None Other Name under Heaven

In Hope, Hoping against Hope
Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Romans 4:18-20 First Line: Why sinks my weak desponding mind? Lyrics: 1 Why sinks my weak desponding mind?
Why heaves my heart the anxious sigh?
Can sov'reign Goodness be unkind?
Am I not safe when God is nigh?
2 He holds all nature in his hand;
That gracious hand on which I live,
Does life, and time, and death command,
And has immortal joys to give.
3 'Tis he supports this fainting frame,
On him alone my hopes recline;
The wond'rous glories of his name,
How wide they spread! how bright they shine!
4 Infinite wisdom! boundless pow'r!
Unchanging faithfulness and love!
Here let me trust, while I adore,
Nor from my refuge e'er remove.
5 My God, if thou art mine indeed,
Then I have all my heart can crave;
A present help in times of need,
Still kind to hear, and strong to save.
6 Forgive my doubts, O gracious Lord,
And ease the sorrows of my breast;
Speak to my heart the healing word,
That thou art mine—and I am blest. Topics: The Hope, that maketh not Ashamed: a Hope full of Immortality

The Glorious Gospel of the Blessed God
Author: Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 63 hymnals Scripture: Romans 4:25 First Line: What wisdom, majesty and grace Lyrics: 1 What wisdom, majesty, and grace
Thro' all the gospel shine!
'Tis God that speaks, and we confess
The doctrine most divine.
2 Down from his starry throne on high,
Th'almighty Saviour comes;
Lays his bright robes of glory by,
And feeble flesh assumes.
3 The mighty debt that sinners ow'd,
Upon the cross he pays:
Then thro' the clouds ascends to God,
'Midst shouts of loftiest praise.
4 There he our great High Priest appears
Before his Father's throne;
Mingles his merit with our tears,
And pours salvation down.
5 Great God, with rev'rence we adore
Thy justice and thy grace:
And on thy faithfulness and pow'r
Our firm dependance place.

What God Hath Promised
Author: Annie Johnson Flint Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Romans 4:21 First Line: God hath not promised skies always blue Refrain First Line: But God hath promised strength for the day Lyrics: 1 God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way;
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
2 God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care. (Chorus)
3 God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain rocky and steep,
Never a river turbid and deep. (Chorus)
Used With Tune: [God hath not promised skies always blue]

He was dead, but see, He liveth!
Amen.
