Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
No merit of my own I claim,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
In ev'ry high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]
3 His oath, his covenant, his blood
Sustain me in the raging flood;
When all supports are washed away,
He then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]
4 When he shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in him be found,
Clothed in his righteousness alone,
Redeemed to stand before the throne! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: MELITA

To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,

With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
5 Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
6 Just as I am; thy love unknown
Has broken ev'ry barrier down;
Now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Languages: English Tune Title: WOODWORTH

Salvation unto Us Has Come
Author: Paul Speratus, 1484-1551 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #297 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 Salvation unto us has come
By God's free grace and favor;
Good works cannot avert our doom,
They help and save us never.
Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone,
Who did for all the world atone;
He is our mediator.
2 Theirs was a false, misleading dream
Who thought God's law was given
That sinners might themselves redeem
And by their works gain heaven.
The Law is but a mirror bright
To bring the inbred sin to light
That lurks within our nature.
3 And yet the Law fulfilled must be,
Or we were lost forever;
Therefore God sent his Son that he
Might us from death deliver.
He all the Law for us fulfilled,
And thus his Father's anger stilled
Which over us impended.
4 Faith clings to Jesus' cross alone
And rests in him unceasing;
And by its fruits true faith is known,
With love and hope increasing.
For faith alone can justify;
Works serve our neighbor and supply
The proof that faith is living.
5 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise
To Father, Son, and Spirit,
The God who saved us by his grace,
All glory to his merit.
O triune God in heav'n above,
You have revealed your saving love;
Your blessed name we hallow. Languages: English Tune Title: ES IS DAS HEIL
Salvation unto Us Has Come
One There Is, above All Others
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #298 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 One there is, above all others,
Well deserves the name of friend;
His is love beyond a brother’s,
Costly, free, and knows no end:
They who once his kindness prove
Find it everlasting love.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood?
But this Savior died to have us
Reconciled in him to God:
This was boundless love indeed;
Jesus is the friend we need.
3 When he lived on earth, they scorned him;
"Friend of sinners" was his name.
Though the angels have adored him,
Still he answers to that claim;
Still he calls them dearest friends
And to all their needs attends.
4 O for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love.
We, alas! forget too often,
What a Friend we have above:
But, when home our souls are brought,
We will love Thee as we ought. Languages: English Tune Title: AMEN SJUNGE HVARJE TUNGA
One There Is, above All Others
Dear Christians, One and All
Author: Richard Massie, 1800-1887; Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #299 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Justification; Justification First Line: Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice
And holy rapture singing.
Proclaim the wonders God has done,
How his right arm the vict'ry won,
What price our ransom cost him!
2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay,
Death brooded darkly o'er me,
Sin was my torment night and day;
In sin my mother bore me.
But daily deeper still I fell;
My life became a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3 My own good works all came to naught,
No grace or merit gaining;
Free will against God's judgment fought,
Dead to all good remaining.
My fears increased till sheer despair
Left only death to be my share;
The pangs of hell I suffered.
4 But God had seen my wretched state
Before the world's foundation,
And, mindful of his mercies great,
He planned for my salvation.
He turned to me a father's heart;
He did not choose the easy part,
But gave his dearest treasure.
5 God said to his beloved Son:
"Tis time to have compassion.
Then go, bright jewel of my crown,
And bring to all salvation;
From sin and sorrow set them free;
Slay bitter death for them that they
May live with you forever."
6 The Son obeyed His Father's will,
Was born of virgin mother;
And, God's good pleasure to fulfill,
He came to be my brother.
His royal pow'r disguised he bore,
A servant's form, like mine, he wore,
To lead the devil captive.
7 To me he said: "Stay close to me,
I am your rock and castle.
Your ransom I myself will be;
For you I strive and wrestle;
For I am yours, and you are mine,
And where I am you may remain;
The foe shall not divide us.
8 "Though he will shed my precious blood,
Of life me thus bereaving,
All this I suffer for your good;
Be steadfast and believing.
Life will from death the vict'ry win;
My innocence shall bear your sin;
And you are blest forever.
9 "Now to my Father I depart,
From earth to heav'n ascending,
And, heav'nly wisdom to impart,
The Holy Spirit sending;
In trouble he will comfort you
And teach you always to be true
And into truth shall guide you.
10 "What I on earth have done and taught,
Guide all your life and teaching;
So shall the kingdom's work be wrought
And honored in your preaching.
But watch lest foes with base alloy
The heav'nly treasure should destroy;
This final word I leave you." Languages: English Tune Title: NUN FREUT EUCH
Dear Christians, One and All
O Christ, Our Hope
Author: John Chandler, 1806-1876 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #300 (1978) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Justification; Justification First Line: O Christ, our hope, our hearts' desire Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our hope, our heart's desire,
Creation's mighty Lord,
Redeemer of the fallen world,
By holy love out-poured,
By holy love out-poured:
2 How vast your mercy to accept
The burden of our sin,
And bow your head in cruel death
To make us clean within,
To make us clean within.
3 But now the bonds of death are burst,
The ransom has been paid;
You now ascend the Father's throne
In robes of light arrayed,
In robes of light arrayed.
4 Oh, let your mighty love prevail
To purge us of our pride,
That we may stand before Your throne
By mercy purified,
By mercy purified.
5 Christ Jesus, be our lasting joy,
Our future great reward;
Our only glory, may it be
To glory in the Lord!
6 All praise to you, ascended Lord;
All glory ever be
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Through all eternity!

Come to Calvary's Holy Mountain
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #301 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Justification; Justification First Line: Come to Calv'ry's holy mountain Lyrics: 1 Come to Calvary's holy mountain,
Sinners, ruined by the fall;
Here a pure and healing fountain
Flows to you, to me, to all,
In a full perpetual tide,
Opened when our Savior died.
2 Come in sorrow and contrition,
Wounded, impotent, and blind;
Here the guilty, free remission,
Here the troubled peace may find.
Health this fountain will restore;
Those who drink shall thirst no more.
3 Those who drink shall live forever;
'Tis a soul-renewing flood.
God is faithful; God will never
Break his covenant of blood,
Signed when our redeemer died,
Sealed when he was glorified. Languages: English Tune Title: NAAR MIT ÖIE

Jesus, Your Blood and Righteousness
Author: John Wesley, 1703-1791; Nicolaus L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #302 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 Jesus, your blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
Mid flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 Bold shall I stand in that great day,
Cleansed and redeemed, no debt to pay;
For by your cross, absolved I am
From sin and guilt, from fear and shame.
3 Lord, I believe your precious blood,
Which at the mercy-seat of God
Pleads for the captives' liberty,
Was also shed in love for me.
4 Lord, I believe were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
You have for all a ransom paid,
For all a full atonement made.
5 When from the dust of death I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies,
This then shall be my only plea:
Christ Jesus lived and died for me.
6 Then shall I praise you and adore
Your blessed name forevermore,
Who once, for me and all you made,
An everlasting ransom paid. Languages: English Tune Title: O JESU CHRISTE, WAHRES LICHT

In vain would boasting reason find
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #309 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Faith Justification by; Justification by Faith Lyrics: 1 In vain would boating reason find
The path to happiness and God;
Her weak directions leave the mind
Bewildered in a doubtful road.
2 Jesus, Thy words alone impart
Eternal life; on these I live;
Diviner comforts cheer my heart
Than all the powers of nature give.
3 Here let my constant feet abide;
Thou art the true, the living Way.
Let Thy good Spirit be my guide
To the bright realms of endless day.
4 The various forms that men devise
To shake my faith with treach'rous art,
I scorn as vanity and lies,
And bind Thy Gospel to my heart. Languages: English
