Wisdom, Righteousness, Sacntification and Redemption
Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: My God assist me, while I raise Lyrics: 1 My God, assist me, while I raise
An anthem of harmonious praise;
My heart thy wonders shall proclaim,
And spread its banners in thy name.
2 In Christ, I view a store divine;
My Father, all that store is thine;
Be thee prepar'd, by thee bestow'd;
Hail to the Saviour, and the God!
3 When gloomy shades my soul o'erspread,
"Let there be light," th' Almighty said;
And Christ, my sun, his beams displays,
And scatters round celestial rays.
4 Condemn'd, thy criminal I stood,
And awful justice ask'd my blood;
That welcome Saviour from thy throne
Brought righteousness and pardon down.
5 My soul was all o'erspread with sin,
And lo, his grace hath made me clean:
He rescues from th' infernal foe,
And full redemption will bestow.
6 Ye saints, assist my grateful tongue;
Ye angels, warble back my song:
For love like this demands the praise
Of heav'nly harps, and endless days.
Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testament Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:30-31
Wisdom, Righteousness, Sacntification and Redemption
Grace of the Lord Jesus, it is Sufficient
Author: John Murray Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: My God, since I can call thee mine Lyrics: 1 My God, since I can call thee mine,
And mine thou surely art;
Why should I ever once repine,
In language, or in heart.
2 Alas! the cause is clearly seen,
From whence these murm'rings rise;
My parents sold me under sin,
How deep the evil lies!
3 Within my members there's a law,
That wars against my mind,
Which strives my spirit still to draw
From thee, the good, and kind.
4 With buffetting my soul is sore,
But this is Satan's part;
The thorn within the flesh, still more,
Inflicts the poignant smart.
5 Great God! attend thy suppliant's pray'r,
Whilst I for succour call!
And pour into thy servant's ear
The words thou spak'st to Paul.
6 Then in thy grace secure I'll rest,
'Twill be sufficient found;
'Till caught from earth to heav'n, I'm blest,
With life, and glory crown'd. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testatment Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9
Grace of the Lord Jesus, it is Sufficient
Redeemer
Author: John Relly Meter: Irregular Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: My Redeemer, let me be Lyrics: 1 My Redeemer, let me be
Quite happy at thy feet,
Still to know myself and thee,
Be this my bitter sweet:
Look upon my infant state,
And with a father's yearning bless;
Don't thy ransom'd child forget,
Nor leave me in distress.
2 I have foolishly abus'd
My Saviour's bleeding love;
All my gifts, my God, misus'd,
When by temptation drove:
Justly I deserve to be
Forsaken by my Lord and God;
Yet shall justice plead for me,
For whom thou shedd'st thy blood.
3 Thy blest smiles, my gracious Lord,
Shall cheer my drooping heart;
I'm instructed in thy word
That thou unchanging art:
Draw me to the Depth profound
Of all thy sorrows, blood and sweat,
Passing on, thro' ev'ry wound,
Unto thy mercy seat:
4 There, reclining on thy breast,
Th' eternal Sabbath find;
Proving in thee perfect rest
To my poor lab'ring mind!
Waiting 'till my Lord I see,
And be like him forever pure,
At the heav'nly jubilee,
This bliss to me is sure. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testament Scripture: Ephesians 1:7
Redeemer
Mercy Seat
Author: John Relly Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: My Savior for me bled Lyrics: 1 My Saviour for me bled
Upon the cross's wood;
For me, the sinner me, he shed
His rich atoning blood.
2 For my offences great
He died a cursed death;
And wrought Salvation out complete
To be enjoy'd by faith.
3 The wine press he did tread,
And, thro' his bleeding side,
His spirit, in abundance, shed
On his beloved bride.
4 Now, by his grace, I know
That I am one of them,
For whom the Saviour died below
Upon the cross's stem. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testament Scripture: 1 John 2:2
Mercy Seat
The Wounded for our Transgressions
Author: John Relly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: My song shall be of him who died Lyrics: 1 My song shall be of him who died
Upon the mount of Calvary;
His name, his blood, and nought beside
Shall be my theme eternally.
2 I view him in his infant form,
Poor, helpless, in a manger laid;
To rescue me, a worthless worm,
Th' eternal word my flesh was made.
3 At eight days old the Saviour bled;
To purge our filth his blood was spilt;
Thus all the members, in the head,
Were cleans'd from their parental guilt.
4 A man of sorrows was my Lord,
Tempted like me in ev'ry point;
That he true succour might afford
To tempted souls, who else would faint.
5 Despis'd and friendless was the lamb,
Abased to a low degree,
Refus'd by all with scorn and shame,
That he our faithful friend might be.
6 Mark how he loves his blood bought friends!
When in his greatest agony
He pleads for them, he them defends,
The're as the apple of his eye.
7 For when the multitude came on
To drag him to the painful tree;
Whom seek ye? (says the holy one)
If me you seek, the children free.
8 When thus accepted, in our stead,
Justice the sinner did release;
And for the members smote the head,
Chastis'd him for our breach of peace. Topics: The Sufferings, Agony, and Bloody Sweat, of the Man of Grief: The Word Made Flesh Scripture: Isaiah 53:5
The Wounded for our Transgressions
The Triumphs of the Dying Saviour
Author: S. Stennett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: No more, dear Savior, will I boast Lyrics: 1 No more, dear Saviour, will I boast
Of beauty, wealth, or loud applause:
The world has all its glories lost,
Amid the triumphs of the cross.
2 In ev'ry feature of thy face
Beauty her fairest charms displays;
Truth, wisdom, majesty, and grace
Shine thence in sweetly mingled rays.
3 Thy wealth, the pow’r of thought transcends,
’Tis vast, immense, and all divine:
Thy empire, Lord, o’er all extends;
The sun, the moon, the stars are thine.
4 Yet (O how marvelous the sight!)
I see thee on a cross expire;
Thy Godhead veil'd in sable night;
And angels from the scene retire.
5 But, why from these sad scenes retreat?
Why with your wings your faces hide?
He ne'er appear'd so good, so great,
As when he bow'd his head and died.
6 The indignation of a God
On him avenging justice hurl'd:
Beneath the weight he firmly stood,
And nobly sav'd a falling world.
7 These triumphs of stupendous grace
Surprise, rejoice, and melt my heart;
Lord, at thy cross I stand and gaze,
Nor would I ever thence depart! Topics: The Death of Jesus, who Died for All; Who tasted Death for Every Man Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:21-23
The Triumphs of the Dying Saviour
Praise
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals First Line: Not unto us, but thee alone Lyrics: 1 Not unto us, but thee alone,
Blest Lamb, be glory giv'n!
Here shall thy praises be begun,
And carried on in heav'n.
2 The host of spirits now with thee,
Eternal Anthems sing:
To imitate them here, lo! we,
Our Hallelujahs bring.
3 Had we our tongues like them inspir'd,
Like theirs our songs should rise;
Like them we never should be tir'd,
But love the sacrifice.
4 Till we the veil of flesh lay down,
Accept our weaker lays;
And when we reach thy Father's throne
We'll give thee nobler praise.

Praise
Adoption in Christ
Author: James Relly Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Now are we sons of God Lyrics: 1 Now are we sons of God!
Nor doth it yet appear
What heights of bliss, thro' Jesus' blood,
For us prepared are.
2 This we already know,
When Christ, our righteousness,
Shall shew himself to men below,
We shall be as he is.
3 Yea in this world are we,
As Jesus is above;
As him, from sin and Satan free,
As perfected in love.
4 Invisible are we
To this blind world below;
There's none but such who Jesus see,
Can us discern or know.
5 All that which doth appear
Of us, or can be known,
By reason's eye, to mortals here,
We utterly disown.
6 We call it dung and dross,
The man from whom we cease;
To own it our's, is pain and loss,
And saps the christian's peace.
7 Jesus alone we own,
And nothing know beside;
In him, as free from sin, we're known,
His pure and holy bride.
8 In him we now confess,
We are the Lord's delight,
His rest, his joy and righteousness,
All glorious in his sight.
9 We are as we would be;
Nor have we yet to choose;
As Christ the Son, we're ever free,
Nor can that sonship lose. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testatment Scripture: 1 John 3:1-2
Adoption in Christ
Praise for Redemption
Meter: Irregular Appears in 388 hymnals First Line: Now begin the heav'nly theme Lyrics: 1 Now begin the heav'nly theme,
Sing aloud in Jesu's Name:
Ye who his salvation prove,
Triumph in redeeming love.
2 Ye, who see the Father's grace
Beaming in the Saviour's face,
As to Canaan on ye move,
Praise and bless redeeming love.
3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears,
Banish all your guilty fears;
So your guilt and curse remove,
Cancell'd by redeeming love.
4 Ye, alas! who long have been
Willing slaves of death and sin,
Now from bliss no longer rove,
Stop and taste redeeming love.
5 Welcome all, by sin opprest,
Welcome to his sacred rest;
Nothing brought him from above,
Nothing but redeeming love.
6 When his spirit leads us home,
When we to his glory come,
We shall all the fulness prove,
Of our Lord's redeeming love.
7 He subdu'd th'infernal pow'rs,
Those tremendous foes of ours,
From their cursed empire drove;
Mighty in redeeming love.

Praise for Redemption
The Sufferings and Glory of the Lamb
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals First Line: Now for a tune of lofty praise Lyrics: 1 Now for a tune of lofty praise
To great Jehovah's equal Son!
Awake my voice in heav'nly lays,
Tell the loud wonders he hath done.
2 Sing how he left the worlds of light,
And the bright robes he wore above;
How swift and joyful was his flight,
On wings of everlasting love.
3 Down to this base, this sinful earth,
He came to raise our nature high;
He came t' atone Almighty wrath,
Jesus, the God, was born to die.
4 Hell and its lions roar'd around,
His precious blood the monsters spilt;
While weighty sorrows press'd him down,
Large as the loads of all our guilt.
5 Deep in the shades of gloomy death
Th' Almighty captive pris'ner lay;
Th' Almighty captive left the earth,
And rose to everlasting day.
6 Lift up your eyes, ye sons of light,
Up to his throne of shining grace;
See what immortal glories sit,
Round the sweet beauties of his face.
7 Amongst a thousand harps and songs,
Jesus the God exalted reigns;
His sacred name fills all their tongues,
And echoes through the heav'nly plains!
