Lord, Thou Hast Won

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals First Line: Lord, Thou hast won, at length I yield Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast won, at length I yield, My heart, by mighty grace compelled, Surrenders all to Thee; Against Thy terrors long I strove, But who can stand against Thy love? Love conquers even me. 2 All that a wretch could do, I tried, Thy patience scorned, Thy power defied, And trampled on Thy laws; Scarcely Thy martyrs at the stake, Could stand more steadfast for Thy sake, Than I in Satan’s cause. 3 But since Thou hast Thy love revealed, And shown my soul a pardon sealed, I can resist no more: Couldst Thou for such a sinner bleed? Canst Thou for such a rebel plead? I wonder and adore! 4 If Thou hadst bid Thy thunders roll, And lightnings flash to blast my soul, I still had stubborn been: But mercy has my heart subdued, A bleeding Savior I have viewed, And now, I hate my sin. 5 Now, Lord, I would be Thine alone, Come take possession of Thine own, For Thou hast set me free; Released from Satan’s hard command, See all my powers waiting stand, To be employed by Thee. 6 My will conformed to Thine would move, On Thee my hope, desire, and love, In fixed attention join; My hands, my eyes, my ears, my tongue, Have Satan’s servants been too long, But now they shall be Thine. 7 And can I be the very same, Who lately durst blaspheme Thy name, And on Thy Gospel tread? Surely each one, who hears my case, Will praise Thee, and confess Thy grace Invincible indeed! Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1

The God of Holiness and Love

Author: Daniel Borges; Richard W. Adams; Daniel Borges Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. The God of holiness and love, His faithfulness I see above, Though I am prone to sin; But triumphing with His strong hand, I know with me He’ll ever stand, Till I reach Beulah Land. 2. Oh, Jesus’ light and boundless grace! How blest was I to see His face, His life He did not spare; This sinner He in love did seek, Enabling me His Word to speak, I walk as child and heir. 3. Yes, Jesus died upon the cross, To some it seems but pain and loss, But He the Lord obeyed; The Potter setting free His clay, To live above in endless day, With love that cannot fade. 4. In that celestial home I’ll see My brothers, sisters, family, I long for His reward; Then Jesus will my soul embrace, A crown of life my sins replace, As long as I believe! Used With Tune: MERIBAH

O Thou, Who Plead'st The Widow's Cause

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O Thou, who plead’st the widow’s cause Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who plead’st the widow’s cause, Who only canst repair my loss, And sweeten all my woe, Distressed, disconsolate, forlorn, Let me in Thy dear bosom mourn, Nor other comfort know. 2 A desolate soul, Thou know’st, I am; For Thou hast called me by my name, Thy poor afflicted one, Hast in the fiery furnace tried, And chose a mourner for Thy bride, When all my joys were gone. 3 The soul whom more than life I loved, Thy jealous mercy hath removed, To make me wholly Thine: With streaming eyes the Hand I see, And bow me to the just decree, And bless the love Divine. 4 Still would I pour my mournful tears, And all my solemn days, or years, In sacred sadness spend; Instant in strong effectual prayers, Till death release me from my cares, And faith in vision end. 5 For this I in Thy Spirit groan, Forsaken, comfortless, alone I would with God abide; Cut off from man, to Jesus cleave, And never for a moment leave My heav’nly Bridegroom’s side. 6 Allow, dear Lord, the widow’s plea, And oh! shut up my soul with Thee, Against the nuptial feast; Make ready for that glorious day, And then Thy spotless bride convey To Thine eternal rest.

Methinks I Stand Upon The Rock

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Methinks I stand upon the rock Where Balaam stood, and wondering look Upon the scene below: The tents of Jacob goodly seem, The people happy I esteem, Whom God has favored so. 2 The sons of Israel stand alone, Jehovah claims them for His own, His cause and theirs the same: He saved them from the tyrant’s hand, Allots to them a pleasant land, And calls them by His name. 3 Their toils have almost reached a close, And soon in peace they shall repose Within the promised land: E’en now its rising hills are seen, Enriched with everlasting green, Where Israel soon shall stand. 4 O Israel, who is like to thee? A people saved, and called to be Peculiar to the Lord! Thy shield! He guards thee from the foe; Thy sword! He fights thy battles, too; Himself thy great reward! 5 Fear not, though many should oppose, For God is stronger than thy foes, And makes thy cause His own: The promised land before thee lies, Go up, and take the glorious prize Reserved for thee alone. 6 In glory there the King appears; He wipes away His people’s tears, And makes their sorrows cease: From toil and strife they there repose, And dwell secure from all their foes, In everlasting peace. 7 Fair emblem of a better rest, Of which believers are possessed, Beyond material space! Methinks I see the distant shore, Where sin and sorrow are no more; And long to reach the place. 8 Nor shall I always absent be From Him my soul desires to see, Within the realms of light; Ere long my Lord will rend the veil, And not a cloud shall then conceal His glory from my sight. 9 Sweet hope! it makes the coward brave; It makes a freeman of the slave, And bids the sluggard rise; It lifts a worm of earth on high, It gives him wings, and makes him fly To worlds beyond the skies.
