Begin, my soul, some heavenly theme; Awake, my voice, and sing The mighty works, or mightier name Of our eternal King. 2.

Jesus, Lover of my soul

Appears in 3,229 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee: Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stayed; All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing! 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find: Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name; I am all unrighteousness: False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee: Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise, to all eternity. Used With Tune: MARTYN

Weary of earth, and laden with my sin

Author: Samuel J. Stone Appears in 218 hymnals Topics: Salvation By Grace Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look to heaven, and long to enter in. But there no evil thing may find a home; And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come." 2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand In the pure glory of that Holy Land? Before the whiteness of that throne appear? Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near. 3 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way, Evil is ever with me day be day; Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall: "Repent, confess; thou shalt be loosed from all." 4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear; His are the hands stretched out to draw me near; And His the blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the throne. 5 'Twas He who found me on the deathly wild; And made me heir of Heaven, the Father's child; And day by day, whereby my soul may live, Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give. Amen. Used With Tune: LANGRAN

With broken heart and contrite sigh

Amen. Scripture: Psalm 51:7 Used With Tune: ST. LUKE

How Vast the Benefits Divine

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 How vast the benefits divine which we in Christ possess! We are redeemed from guilt and shame and called to holiness. But not for works which we have done, or shall hereafter do, hath God decreed on sinful men salvation to bestow. 2 The glory, Lord, from first to last, is due to thee alone; aught to ourselves we dare not take, or rob thee of thy crown. Our glorious Surety undertook to satisfy for man, and grace was given us in him before the world began. 3 This is thy will, that in thy love we ever should abide; that earth and hell should not prevail to turn thy word aside. Not one of all the chosen race but shall to heav'n attain, partake on earth the purposed grace and then with Jesus reign. Scripture: Ephesians 1:4 Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW

The Law of God is Good and Wise

Author: Matthias Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 The law of God is good and wise and sets his will before our eyes, shows us the way of righteousness, and dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts the knowledge of our sinful hearts that we may see our lost estate and seek deliv'rance ere too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found and would in works of love abound it shows what deeds are his delight and should be done as good and right. 4 When men the offered help disdain and wilfully in sin remain, its terror in their ear resounds and keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The law is good; but since the fall its holiness condemns us all; it dooms us for our sin to die and has no pow'r to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, who from the curse has set us free, and humbly worship at his throne, saved by his grace through faith alone. Scripture: Psalm 19:8 Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS, HERR

Thou alone my Savior art, Teach Thy wisdom to my heart; Make me pure, Thy grace bestow, Wash me whiter than the snow. 4 Broken, humbled to the dust By Thy wrath and judgment just, Let my contrite heart rejoice And in gladness hear Thy voice; From my sins O hide Thy face, Blot them out in boundless grace.
