The Glorious Gospel

Author: Stennett Hymnal: SHPW1844 #51 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: What wisdom, majesty, and grace Lyrics: 1 What wisdom, majesty, and grace Through all the gospel shine! ’Tis God that speaks, and we confess The doctrine most divine. 2 Down from his shining throne on high The Almighty Saviour comes, Lays his bright robes of glory by, And feeble flesh assumes. 3 The mighty debt his chosen owed Upon the cross he pays; Then through the clouds ascends to God, ’Midst shouts of loftiest praise. 4 There he, our great High Priest, appears Before his Father’s throne; There on his breast our names he wears, And counts our cause his own.

The Gospel

Author: Hart Hymnal: SHPW1844 #52 (1844) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: The gospel brings tidings to each wounded soul Lyrics: 1 The gospel brings tidings to each wounded soul, That Jesus the Saviour can make it quite whole; And what makes this gospel most precious to me, It holds forth salvation so perfectly free! 2 The gospel declares that God, sending his Son To die for poor sinners, gave all things in one; This, too, makes the gospel most precious to me; Because ’tis a gospel as full as ’tis free! 3 Since Jesus has saved me, and that freely too, I fain would in all things my gratitude show; But as to man’s merit, ’tis hateful to me! The gospel – I love it; ’tis perfectly free! Topics: The Gospel Languages: English

"They that hear shall live"

Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #53 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: This is the word of truth and love Lyrics: 1 This is the word of truth and love, Sent to the nations from above; Jehovah here resolves to show What his almighty grace can do. 2 Lo! at its sound the dead revive, Quickened by grace are made alive; Dry bones are raised and clothed afresh, And hearts of stone are turned to flesh. 3 [Lions and beasts of savage name Put on the nature of the lamb; While the vile world esteem it strange, Gaze and admire, and hate the change.] 4 May but this grace my soul renew, Let sinners gaze and hate me too; The word that saves me does engage A sure defence from all their rage.

Not ashamed of the Gospel

Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #54 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: I'm not ashamed to own my Lord Lyrics: 1 I’m not ashamed to own my Lord, Or to defend his cause, Maintain the honour of his word, The glory of his cross. 2 Jesus, my God, I know his name, His name is all my trust; Nor will he put my soul to shame, Nor let my hope be lost. 3 Firm as his throne his promise stands, And he can well secure What I’ve committed to his hands, Till the decisive hour. 4 Then will he own my worthless name Before his Father’s face, And in the new Jerusalem Appoint my soul a place.

The Invitation of the Gospel

Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #56 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Let every open ear attend Lyrics: 1 [Let every open ear attend, And broken heart rejoice; The trumpet of the gospel sounds With an inviting voice.] 2 Ho! all ye hungry, starving souls, That feed upon the wind, And vainly strive with earthly toys To fill an empty mind; 3 Eternal Wisdom has prepared A soul-reviving feast; And bids your longing appetites The rich provision taste. 4 Ho! ye that pant for living streams, And pine away and die; Here you may quench your raging thirst, With springs that never dry. 5 Rivers of love and mercy here In a rich ocean join; Salvation in abundance flows, Like floods of milk and wine. 6 [Ye perishing and naked poor, Who work with mighty pain To weave a garment of your own That will not hide your sin; 7 Come naked, and adorn your souls In robes prepared by God, Wrought by the labours of his Son, And dyed in his own blood.] 8 Dear God! the treasures of thy love Are everlasting mines; Deep as our helpless miseries are, And boundless as our sins! 9 The happy gates of gospel grace Stand open night and day; Lord, we are come to seek supplies, And drive our wants away.

What shall the dying sinner do

Author: Watts Hymnal: SHPW1844 #57 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What shall the dying sinner do, That seeks relief for all his woe? Where shall the guilty conscience find Ease for the torment of the mind? 2 How shall we get our crimes forgiven, Or form our natures fit for heaven? Can souls, all o’er defiled with sin, Make their own powers and passions clean? 3 In vain we search, in vain we try, Till Jesus brings his gospel nigh; ’Tis there that power and glory dwell, That save rebellious souls from hell. 4 This is the pillar of our hope, That bears our fainting spirits up; We read the grace, we trust the word, And find salvation in the Lord. 5 [Let men or angels dig the mines Where nature’s golden treasure shines; Brought near the doctrine of the cross, All nature’s gold appears but dross.] 6 Should vile blasphemers, with disdain, Pronounce the truths of Jesus vain, We’ll meet the scandal and the shame, And sing and triumph in his name.

The year of jubilee is come; Return, ye ransomed sinners, home. Topics: The Gospel Languages: English

All the elected train

Author: Burnham Hymnal: SHPW1844 #60 (1844) Lyrics: 1 All the elected train Were chosen in their Head, To all eternal good, Before the worlds were made; Chosen to know the Prince of Peace, And taste the riches of his grace. 2 Chosen to faith and hope, To purity and love, To all the life of God, To all the things above; Chosen to prove salvation sure; Chosen to reign for evermore. 3 Nothing but grace appears In this eternal choice; It charms the humble saint, And makes the soul rejoice; Its endless glories shine so bright, It makes obedience all delight. 4 Now, Lord, to us reveal The all-confirming grace; And may we all pursue The shining paths of peace; Run in the way to joys above, And ever sing electing love.
