Now Christ, the very Son of God

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #29 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now Christ, the very Son of God, On sinners sends another flood; It is the water which the Lord Has comprehended in the Word. 2 This flood, to cleanse sin's leprosy, Mere earthly water cannot be; But water and God's gracious Word Conjoined, this saving bath afford. 3 Go ye, says Christ, my Word proclaim, Baptize the nations in God's name: All who are baptized and believe My full salvation shall receive. 4 God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, To be baptized invites the host; He will be present, though unseen, From all their sins to wash them clean. 5 So too, by our repentance, must Our evil nature, sin, and lust Be daily drowned, and then arise A new man, righteous, pure, and wise. 6 That by the water and the Word We're born again, we thank Thee, Lord! In life and death Thine let us be, And Thine in all eternity. Topics: Baptism; Christ Love of; Regeneration Languages: English Tune Title: LORD JESUS CHRIST, BE PRESENT NOW

We have a sure, prophetic Word

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #30 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We have a sure, prophetic Word, By inspiration of the Lord; And though assailed on every hand, Jehovah's word shall ever stand. 2 By powers of empire banned and burned, By pagan pride rejected, spurned, The Word still stands the Christian's trust, While haughty empires lie in dust. 3 Lo! what the Word in times of old Of future days and deeds foretold, Is all fulfilled, while ages roll, As traced on the prophetic scroll. 4 Abiding, steadfast, firm, and sure, The teachings of the Word endure: Blest he who trusts this steadfast Word, His anchor holds in Christ, the Lord.

The Gospel shows the Father's grace

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #31 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace, Who sent His Son to save our race: Proclaims how Jesus lived and died That man might thus be justified. 2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes Who made th'atoning sacrifice, And calls the souls with guilt oppressed To come and find eternal rest. 3 It brings the Saviour's righteousness Our souls to robe in royal dress; From all our guilt it brings release, And gives the troubled conscience peace. 4 It is the power of God to save From sin and Satan and the grave; It works the faith which firmly clings To all the treasures which it brings. 5 It bears to all the tidings glad, And bids their hearts no more be sad: The heavy laden souls it cheers, And banishes their guilty fears. 6 May we in faith its tidings learn, Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn; May we in faith its truth confess, And praise the Lord our righteousness.

The Law of God is good and wise

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #32 (1898) 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 distain, And willfully 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 power 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.

Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #34 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress; 'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed, With joy shall I lift up my head. 2 When from the dust of death I rise, To take my mansion in the skies, This even then shall be my plea: "Jesus hath lived and died for me." 3 Bold shall I stand in that great day, For who aught to my charge shall lay? Fully through Thee absolved I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 4 And when the dead shall hear Thy voice, Thy banished children shall rejoice; Their beauty this, their glorious dress,-- Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness.

Look from Thy sphere of endless day

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #35 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Look from Thy sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might! In pity look on those who stray Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or sea, How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from Thee! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them Thy mighty Word to speak, Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart, To awe the bold, and stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart.

Faith is a living power from heaven

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #36 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living power from heaven, That grasps the promise God hath given, A confidence in Christ alone, Whose grace can not be overthrown. 2 Faith in the conscience worketh peace, And bids the mourner’s weeping cease; By faith the children’s place we claim, And give all honor to One Name. 3 Faith feels the Spirit’s kindling breath In love and hope that conquer death; Faith worketh joyfulness in God, And trust that blesses e’en the rod. 4 We thank Thee then, O God of heaven, That Thou to us this faith hast given; Preserve to us Thy Spirit's grace Till we shall see Thee face to face.

God gave His Word by holy men

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #37 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God gave His Word by holy men, The words dictating to their pen; That Word shall shine with glorious ray When heaven and earth have passed away. 2 It is not changeful human thought That here to darkened souls is brought, But everlasting truth and light, That shed on man their heavenly light. 3 It makes the way of faith so plain That none in darkness need remain; Who meekly choose it as their guide Shall not in doubt and gloom abide. 4 It makes the path of duty clear, That all therein may persevere; Who humbly heed its righteous way Shall not from right and virtue stray. 5 For faith and life, for thought and deed, No other rule and guide we need: When God the King proclaims His will, 'Tis meet all others should be still. 6 To this alone may we adhere, In faith and love and godly fear, And ever walking by His Word, Give glory to our Sovereign Lord.

O Saviour! bless us ere we go

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #38 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Saviour! bless us ere we go, Thy Word into our minds instill; And make our lukewarm hearts to glow With lowly love and fervent will. 2 The day is done, its hours have run, And Thou hast taken count of all; The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, the frequent fall. 3 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways True absolution and release; And may we more than in past days Increase in purity and peace. 4 Thy pardon give, and give us joy, Sweet fear and sober liberty, And loving hearts without alloy, That only long to be like Thee. 5 For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto Thee we call: Oh, let Thy mercy make us glad! Thou art our Jesus and our all. Topics: Worship Closing; Forgiveness of Sin; Prayer General Petition Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS' CANON
