Saving Faith

Appears in 40 hymnals First Line: We have no outward righteousness Lyrics: 1 We have no outward righteousness, No merits or good works, to plead; We only can be saved by grace; Thy grace, O Lord, is free indeed. 2 Save us by grace, thro' faith alone, A faith thou must thyself impart; A faith that would by works be shown, A faith that purifies the heart: 3 This is the faith we humbly seek, The faith in thy all-cleansing blood; That faith which doth for sinners speak O let it speak us up to God!

Jesus of Nazareth

Author: Miss Eta Campbell Appears in 190 hymnals First Line: What means this eager, anxious throng Lyrics: 1 What means this eager, anxious throng, Which moves with busy haste along; These wondrous gath'rings day by day? What means this strange commotion, pray? In accents hushed the throng reply, "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." In accents hushed the throng reply, "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." 2 Who is this Jesus? Why should he The city move so mightily? A passing stranger, has he skill To move the multitude at will? Again the stirring tones reply, Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." Again the stirring tones reply, Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." 3 Jesus! 'tis he who once below Man's pathway trod 'mid pain and woe; And burdened ones, where'er he came, Brought out their sick, and deaf, and lame, The blind rejoice to hear the cry: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." The blind rejoice to hear the cry: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." 4 Again he comes! From place to place His holy footprints we can trace. He pauseth at our threshold--nay, He enters--condescends to stay. Shall we not gladly raise the cry: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by?" Shall we not gladly raise the cry: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by?" 5 Ho! all ye heavy-laden, come; Here's pardon, comfort, rest, and home. Ye wanderers from a Father's face, Return, accept his proffered grace. Ye tempted ones, there's refuge nigh: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." Ye tempted ones, there's refuge nigh: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." 6 But if you still this call refuse, And all his wondrous love abuse, Soon will he sadly from you turn, Your bitter prayer for pardon spurn. "Too late! too late!" will be the cry: "Jesus of Nazareth has passed by." "Too late! too late!" will be the cry: "Jesus of Nazareth has passed by."

The Best Friend

Which of all our friends to save us, Could, or would, have shed his blood? But our Jesus died to have us Reconciled, in him, to God. 2 When he lived on earth so lowly, Friend of sinners was his name; Now enthroned among the holy, He rejoices in the same. Oh, for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love; We, alas! forget too often What a friend we have above. Used With Tune: MEMORY

For Me

Appears in 2,314 hymnals First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed? Refrain First Line: Jesus died for you Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed? And did my Sov'reign die?

Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! [Chorus] 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died, For man, the creature's sin. [Chorus] 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. [Chorus] 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give myself away,-- 'Tis all that I can do. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Alas! and did my Savior bleed]

Deliverance Will Come

Author: Rev. W. McDonald Appears in 112 hymnals First Line: I saw a way-worn trav'ler Refrain First Line: Then palms of victory Lyrics: 1 I saw a way-worn trav'ler, In tattered garments clad, And, struggling up the mountain, It seemed that he was sad. His back was laden heavy, His strength was almost gone, Yet he shouted as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!" Chorus: Then palms of victory, Crowns of glory, Palms of victory I shall wear. 2 The summer sun was shining, The sweat was on his brow, His garments worn and dusty, His step seemed very slow; But he kept pressing onward, For he was wending home, Still shouting as he journeyed, "Deliverance will come!" [Chorus] 3 I saw him in the evening, The sun was bending low, He'd overtopped the mountain And reached the vale below: He saw the golden city,-- His everlasting home,-- And shouted loud, Hosanna, "Deliverance will come!" [Chorus] 4 I heard the song of triumph They sang upon that shore, Saying, Jesus has redeemed us To suffer nevermore; Then, casting his eyes backward On the race which he had run, He shouted loud, "Hosanna, Deliverance has come!" [Chorus] Used With Tune: [I saw a way-worn trav'ler]
