'Tis not by works of righteousness

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Justification Lyrics: 1 'Tis not by works of righteousness Which our own hands have done, But we are saved by sov'reign grace Abounding thro' His Son. 2 'Tis from the mercy of our God That all our hopes begin; 'Tis by the water and the blood Our souls are washed from sin. 3 'Tis through the purchase of His death Who hung upon the tree, The Spirit is sent down to breathe On such dry bones as we. 4 Raised from the dead we live anew. And, justified by grace, We shall appear in glory too, And see our Father's face. Used With Tune: DUNDEE

How beauteous are their feet

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 715 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Ministry Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet their tidings are! "Zion, behold Thy Savior-King, He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears That hear this joyful sound, That kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes That see this heavenly light; Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight! 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad: Let every nation now behold Their Savior and their God.

'Twas by an order from the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts, 1675-1748 Appears in 150 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Word Lyrics: 1 'Twas by an order from the Lord, The ancient prophets spoke His Word; His Spirit did their tongues inspire, And warm'd their hearts with heav'nly fire. 2 The works and wonders which they wrought Confirmed the messages they brought: The prophet's pen succeeds His breath, To save the holy words from death. 3 Great God! mine eyes with pleasure look Upon Thy precious holy book; There my Redeemer's face I see, And read His name who died for me. 4 Let the false raptures of the mind Be lost, and vanish in the wind; Here I can fix my hope secure: This is Thy word, and must endure.

The law of God is good and wise

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Word Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise And sets His will before our eyes, Shows us the way of righteousness, And dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts The knowledge of our sinful hearts That we may see our lost estate And seek deliv'rance ere too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found And would in works of love abound, It shows what deeds are His delight And should be done as good and right. 4 When men the offered help disdain And dead in sin and woe remain; Its terror in their ear resounds And keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The law is good; but since the fall Its holiness condemns us all: It dooms us for our sin to die, And has no power to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, Who from the curse has set us free, And humbly worship at His throne, Saved by His grace through faith alone.

On the mountain top appearing

Mourning captive, God Himself will loose Thy bands. 2 Has the night been long and mournful, Have thy friends unfaithful proved? Have thy foes been proud and scornful, By thy sighs and tears unmoved? Cease thy mourning, Zion still is well beloved. 3 God, thy God, will now restore thee! He Himself appears thy friend: All thy foes shall flee before thee; Here their boasts and triumphs end: Great deliv'rance Zion's King vouchsafes to send. Used With Tune: ZION

The saints on earth and those above

Author: Isaac Watts; Charles Wesley Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Church Lyrics: 1 The saints on earth and those above But one communion make; Joined to their Lord, in bonds of love, All of His grace partake. 2 One family, we dwell in Him, One church above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. 3 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. 4 Lo! thousands to their endless home Are swiftly borne away; And we are to the margin come, And soon must launch as they. 5 Lord Jesus! be our constant Guide! Then when the word is given, Bid death’s flood its waves divide, And land us safe in heaven. Used With Tune: MEAR
