A Debtor to Mercy Alone

Author: Augustus M. Toplady, 1740-1778 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 103 hymnals Topics: Preservation of Christians Lyrics: 1 A debtor to mercy alone, of covenant mercy I sing; nor fear, with your 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: Psalm 138:8 Used With Tune: TREWEN

Jesus, My Great High Priest

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Preservation of Christians Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my great High Priest, offered his blood and died; my guilty conscience seeks no sacrifice beside. His pow'rful blood did once atone, and now it pleads before the throne. 2 To this dear Surety's hand will I commit my cause; he answers and fulfills his Father's broken laws. Behold my soul at freedom set, my Surety paid the dreadful debt. 3 My Advocate appears for my defense on high; the Father bows his ears and lays his thunder by. Not all that hell or sin can say shall turn his heart, his love, away. 4 Should all the hosts of death and pow'rs of hell unknown put their most dreadful forms of rage and mischief on, I shall be safe, for Christ displays his conqu'ring pow'r and guardian grace. Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Used With Tune: BEVAN

O Praise the Lord, For He Is Good

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Preservation of Christians Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord, for he is good, his mercies still endure; thus say the ransomed of the Lord, from all their foes secure. 2 He gathered them from out the lands, from north, south, east and west. They strayed in desert's pathless way, No city found for rest. 3 Their weary soul within them faints when thirst and hunger press; in trouble then they cried to God, he saved them from distress. 4 He made the way before them straight, himself became their guide, that they might to a city go wherein they might abide. 5 O that men would Jehovah praise for all his kindness shown, and for his works so wonderful which he to men makes known! 6 Because the longing soul by him with food is satisfied, the hungry soul that looks to him with goodness is supplied.
