Grace hath put me in the number Of the Savior's family: Hallelujah Thanks, eternal thanks to thee! 4 Since that love had no beginning, And shall never never cease; Keep, O keep me, Lord, from sinning! Guide me in the way of peace! Make me walk in All the paths of holiness. 5 When I quit this feeble mansion, And my soul returns to thee; Let the power of thy ascension Manifest itself in me: Thro' thy spirit Give the final victory! 6 When the angel sounds the trumpet; When my soul and body join; When my Savior comes to judgment, bright in majesty divine; Let me triumph In thy righteousness as mine. 7 When in that blest habitation, Which my God has fore ordain'd; When in glory's full possession, I with saints and angels stand Free grace only Shall resound thro' Canaan's Land.

Noah preserved in the Ark, and the believer in Christ

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Perseverance First Line: The deluge at the almighty's call Lyrics: 1 The deluge, at th’ almighty’s call, In what impetuous streams it fell! Swallow'd the mountains in its rage, And swept a guilty world to hell. 2 In vain the tallest sons of pride Fled from the close-pursuing wave, Nor could their mightiest towers defend, Nor swiftness ’scape, nor courage save. 3 How dire the wreck? how loud the roar: How shrill the universal cry Of millions in the last despair, Re-echo from the lowering sky! 4 Yet Noah, humble happy saint, Surrounded with the chosen few, Sat in his ark, secure from fear, And sang the grace that steer'd him ’thro. 5 So may I sing, in Jesus safe, When storms of vengeance round me fall, Conscious how high my hopes are fix'd, Beyond what shakes this earthly ball. 6 Enter thine ark, while patience waits, Nor ever quit that sure retreat; Then the wide flood, which buries earth, Shall waft thee to a fairer seat. 7 Nor wreck nor ruin there is seen; There not a wave of trouble rolls; But the bright rainbow round the throne Seals endless life to all their souls.

God ready to forgive; or, Despair sinful

Author: Stogdon Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XC (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Pardon First Line: What mean these jealousies and fears Lyrics: 1 What mean these jealousies and fears, As if the Lord were loth to save, Or lov'd to see us drench'd in tears, Or sink with sorrow to the grave? 2 Does he want slaves to grace his throne? Or crush them with an iron rod? Loves he the deep despairing groan? Is he a tyrant, or a God. 3 Not all the sins which we have wrought So much his tender bowels grieve, As this unkind injurious thought, That he's unwilling to forgive. 4 What tho' our crimes are black as night, Or glowing like the crimson morn, Immanuel's blood will make them white As snow thro' the pure aether borne. 5 Lord, 'tis amazing grace we won, And well may rebel-worms surprise, But was not thy incarnate son A most amazing sacrifice? 6 "I've found a ransom," saith the lord, "No humble penitent shall die;" Lord, we would now believe thy word, And thy unbounded mercies try!

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Regeneration First Line: When some kind shepherd from his fold Lyrics: 1 When some kind shepherd from his fold, Has lost a straying sheep, Through vales, o'er hills, he anxious roves, And climbs the mountain's steep. 2 But O the joy! the transport sweet! When he the wand'rer finds; Up in his arms he takes his charge, And to his shoulder binds. 3 Homeward he hastes to tell his joys, And make his bliss complete: The neighbours hear the news, and all The joyful shepherd greet. 4 Yet how much greater is the joy When but one sinner turns; When the poor wretch with broken heart, His sins and errors mourns. 5 Pleas'd with the news, the saints below, In songs their tongues employ; Beyond the skies, the tidings go, And Heaven is fill'd with joy. 6 Well-pleas'd the Father sees and hears The conscious sinner weep; Jesus receives him in his arms, And owns him for his sheep. 7 Nor angels can their joys contain, But kindle with new fire: "A wandering sheep's return'd," they sing, And strike the sounding lyre.

Human righteousness insufficieint to justify

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXXIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Justification First Line: Wherewith O Lord, shall I draw near Lyrics: 1 Wherewith, O Lord, shall I draw near, Or bow myself before thy face? How in thy purer eyes appear? What shall I bring to gain thy grace? 2 Will gifts delight the Lord most high? Will multiply'd oblations please? Thousands of rams his favor buy, Or slaughter'd hecatombs appease. 3 Can these assuage the wrath of God? Can these wash out my guilty stain? Rives of oil, or seas of blood, Alas! they all must flow in vain. 4 What have I then wherein to trust? I nothing have, I nothing am; Excluded is my ev'ry boast, My glory swallow'd up in shame. 5 Guilty, I stand before thy face; My sole desert, is hell and wrath; 'Twere just the sentence should take place, But O, I plead my Savior's death! 6 I plead the merits of thy son Who died for sinners on the tree; I plead his righteousness alone, O put the spotless robe on me. Scripture: Micah 6:6-8 Languages: English
