Hail! my ever blessed Jesus

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #325 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Hail! my ever blessed Jesus, Only thee I wish to sing; To my soul thy name is precious, Thou my prophet, priest, and king. 2 O! what mercy flows from heaven, O, what joy and happiness! Love I much? I’m much forgiven, I’m a miracle of grace. 3 Once with Adam’s race in ruin, Unconcern'd in sin I lay; Swift destruction still pursuing, Till my Saviour pass'd this way. 4 Witness, all ye hosts of heaven, My Redeemer’s tenderness; Love I much? I’ve much forgiven, I’m a miracle of grace. 5 Shout, ye bright angelic choir, Praise the Lamb enthron'd above; While, astonish'd, I admire God’s free grace and boundless love. 6 That blest moment I receiv'd him, Fill'd my soul with joy and peace; Love I much? I’ve much forgiven, I’m a miracle of grace. Scripture: Luke 19:10

Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes, That see this heav'nly light! Prophets and kings desir'd it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare his arm Thro' all the earth abroad; Let ev'ry nation now behold Their Saviour and their God.

Ye sons of moral wisdom, show The spring whence living waters flow. 2 Say, will the stoic's flinty heart Melt, and this cordial juice impart? Could Plato find these blissful streams, Amongst his raptures and his dreams? 3 In vain I ask--for nature's power Extends but to this mortal hour: 'Twas but a poor relief she gave Against the terrors of the grave. 4 Jesus, our kinsman, and our God, Array'd in majesty and blood, Thou art our life! our souls in thee Possess a full felicity! 5 All our immortal hopes are laid, In thee our surety and our head; Thy cross, thy cradle, and thy throne, Are big with glories yet unknown. 6 Here let my soul for ever lie, Beneath the blessings of thine eye; 'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above, To see thy face, to taste thy love.

In songs of sublime adoration and praise

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #319 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The gracious nature of this salvation Lyrics: 1 In songs of sublime adoration and praise, Ye pilgrims, for Sion who press, Break forth and extol the great Ancient of days, His rich and unmerited grace. 2 His love from eternity for our race, Broke forth and discover'd its flame, And now with the cords of his kindness he draws, And brings us to love his great name. 3 O had he not pitied the state we were in, Our bosoms his love had ne'er felt: We all would have liv'd, would have died too in sin, And sunk with the load of our guilt. 4 What was there in man that could merit esteem, Or give the Creator delight? 'Twas "Even so, Father," we ever must sing, Because it seem'd good in thy sight. 5 Urged on by this grace, did the Saviour appear, The bearer of help from above, Now all who are thirsting may freely draw near, And drink in the streams of his love. 6 Then give all the glory to his holy name, To him all the glory belongs; Be ours the high joys still to sound forth his fame, And crown him in each of our songs. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4:7

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #324 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet thou art! When shall I find my longing heart All taken up by Thee!

Be this my happy choice, My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heaven on earth be this, To hear the Bridegroom’s voice. 4 O that I could with favour'd John Recline my weary head upon The dear Redeemer's breast! From care and sin, and sorrow free, Give me, O Lord, to find in Thee My everlasting rest. Scripture: Ephesians 3:17

Scripture: Psalm 63:7

Come, see, ye worms, your Maker die, And say, was ever grief like his? Come, feel with me his blood applied; My Lord, my Love, is crucified: 3 Is crucified for me and you, To bring us rebels back to God: Believe, believe the record true, Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood; Pardon for all flows from his side: My Lord, my love, is crucified. 4 Then let us sit beneath his cross, And gladly catch the healing stream: All things for him account but loss, And give up all our hearts to him; Of nothing think or speak beside, The Lord, my Love is crucified.
