The Saviour's Message
Author: John Murray Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Hymns, on the Life of Immanuel, the Head of every Man First Line: Hark, 'tis the Saviour of mankind Lyrics: 1 Hark, 'tis the Saviour of mankind,
Speaks to his chosen few;
'Tis he who leads the wand'ring blind,
In ways they could not know.
2 'Tis he who says, "Go forth my friends,
Proclaim my truth to all;
Inform each soul my grace extends
As wide as Adam's fall.
3 Tell sinners of the deepest dye,
That they might life obtain,
I chose the cursed death to die,
And taste infernal pain!
4 What though my ransom'd may refuse,,
The message to receive;
And you the messengers abuse,
Yet still I come to save.
5 Yea, should the tempter still prevail,
To blind my people's eyes;
In my great day I'll rend the veil,
From all beneath the skies.
6 Then ev'ry eye shall see the grace,
You now in faith declare;
And I myself from ev'ry face,
Will wipe off ev'ry tear."
7 Lord we believe thy sacred word,
And wait the glorious day,
When ev'ry soul by grace restor'd,
Shall walk in wisdom's way.
Scripture: Mark 16:15
The Saviour's Message
Salvation, in Jesus, on the Cross
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 115 hymnals Topics: Who tasted Death for Every Man First Line: Here at thy cross, my dying God Lyrics: 1 Here at thy cross, my dying God,
I lay my soul beneath thy love,
Beneath the droppings of thy blood,
Jesus, nor shall it e'er remove.
2 Not all that tyrants think or say,
With rage and lightning in their eyes,
Nor hell shall fright my heart away,
Should hell with all its legions rise.
3 Should worlds conspire to drive me thence,
Moveless and firm this heart should lie;
Resolved (for that's my last defence)
If I must perish there to die.
4 But speak, my Lord, and calm my fear;
Am I not safe beneath thy shade?
Thy vengeance will not strike me here,
Nor Satan dare my soul invade.
5 Yes, I'm secure beneath thy blood,
And all my foes shall lose their aim:
Hosannah to my dying God,
And my best honours to his name. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:14
Salvation, in Jesus, on the Cross
The Good that I would I do not
Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature First Line: I would but cannot sing Lyrics: 1 I would, but cannot sing,
Guilt has untun'd my Voice,
The Serpent sin's envenom'd Sting
Has poison'd all my Joys.
2 I know the Lord is nigh,
And would, but cannot pray;
For Satan meets me when I try,
And frights my Soul away.
3 I would, but can't Repent,
Tho' I endeavor oft;
This stony Heart can ne'er relent
'Till Jesus makes it soft.
4 I would, but cannot Love,
Tho' woo'd by Love Divine;
No Arguments have pow'r to move
A Soul so base as mine.
5 I would, but cannot rest
In God's most holy Will;
I know what he appoints is best,
Yet Murmur at it still.
6 Oh could I but believe!
Then all would easy be;
I would, but cannot; Lord relieve;
My Help must come from thee!
7 But if indeed I wou'd,
Tho' I can nothing do;
Yet the Desire is something good,
For which my Praise is due.
8 By Nature prone to Ill,
Till thine appointed Hour,
I was as destitute of Will,
As now I am of Pow'r.
9 Wilt thou not Crown, at length,
The Work thou hast begun?
And with a Will afford me Strength,
In all thy Ways to run.
The Good that I would I do not
Christ, and him Crucified
Author: John Relly Meter: Irregular Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Who tasted Death for Every Man First Line: Jesus and him crucified Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and him crucify'd,
Is mine, I want no more;
In his wounds I'm deep inlaid;
My name there standeth sure;
I am his, and he is mine;
My root is in the promis'd land;
I'm a branch of the true vine,
The plant of God's right hand.
2 In the Lamb, my fallow ground
Was plough'd with painful roil,
That which did with thorns abound
Is now a nobler soil:
Christ's the soil that's rich and good;
In him the lov'd plantation grows;
Water'd by his heav'nly blood,
Its merit always flows.
Scripture: Mark 15:24-25
Christ, and him Crucified
Jesus, in the Garden of Gethsemane
Meter: Irregular Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Sufferings, Agony, and Bloody Sweat, of the Man of Grief: The Word Made Flesh First Line: Jesus, bow'd down by mighty woe Lyrics: 1 Jesus, bow'd down by mighty woe,
Unfelt, unknown, to all below,
Except the Son of God;
In agonistic pangs of soul,
Drinks deep from wormwood's bitt'rest bowl,
And sweats great drops of blood.
2 See, his disciples slumb'ring round;
Nor pitying friend on earth is found;
He treads the press alone:
In vain to Heav'n he turns his eyes;
No pardon waits him from the skies;
His death it must atone.
3 "O Father hear! this cup remove—
Save thou the darling of thy love,
(The prostrate victim said)
Yet not my will, but thine be done,
Should that exted, to count thy Son,
Amid the sleeping dead."
4 His earnest prayers, his deep'ning groans,
Were heard before angelic thrones;
Amazement wrapt the sky.
"Go strengthen Christ," Jehovah said;
Th' astonish'd Seraph bow'd his head,
And left the realms on high.
5 Made strong in strength rene'd from heav'n,
Jesus receives the cup as giv'n;
Submiss, resign'd in all,
He drink;—nor leaves a dreg behind;
And bears away from human kind,
The wormwood mix'd with gall.
Scripture: Matthew 26:36-45
Jesus, in the Garden of Gethsemane
Miracles of Christ
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Hymns, on the Life of Immanuel, the Head of every Man First Line: Jesus, we bless thy power Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we bless thy pow'r;
Thy grace, we honour more;
Such love as thine, it must subdue
To worship, love, adore.
2 The blind, the dumb, the deaf
A word, a touch relieves;
The wither'd arm, at thy command
New strength, O Lord, receives.
3 Lepers, who long had groan'd
Beneath the weight of pain;
The palsied limbs—the dying—dead—
Are all made whole again.
4 Legions of hell, obey
Thy dread, almighty word;
The Jews and Gentiles dispossest,
Give glory to the Lord.
5 Come, great Physician, come!
In spirit, Christ, display
Thy healing, cleansing, gracious pow'rs,
And take av'n death away. Scripture: Matthew 14:34-36
Miracles of Christ
A living and a dead Faith, collected from several Scriptures
Appears in 184 hymnals Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature First Line: Mistaken Souls! that dream of Heav'n Lyrics: 1 Mistaken Souls! that dream of Heav'n,
And make their empty boast,
Of inward Joys, and Sins forgiv'n,
While they are Slaves to Lust.
2 Vain are our Fancies, airy Flights,
If Faith be cold and dead;
None but a living Pow'r unites
To Christ the living Head.
3 'Tis Faith that changes all the Heart;
'Tis faith that Works by Love;
That bids all sinful Joys depart,
And lifts the Thoughts above.
4 'Tis Faith that conquers Earth and Hell
By a celestial Pow'r;
This is the Grace that shall prevail
In the decisive Hour.
[5 Faith must obey her Father's Will,
As well as trust his Grace,
A pard'ning God is jealous still
For his own Holiness.
6 When from the Curse he sets us free,
He makes our Natures clean,
Nor would he send his Son to be
The Minister of Sin.
7 His Spirit purifies our Frame,
And Seals our Peace with God;
Jesus and his Salvation came
By Water and by Blood.]
A living and a dead Faith, collected from several Scriptures
Peace, by the Blood of the Cross
Author: John Relly Meter: Irregular Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Who tasted Death for Every Man First Line: My dear Master, Jesus Christ Lyrics: 1 My dear Master Jesus Christ,
For peace to thee I fly;
In the Saviour, I am blest
To all eternity:
Free from care, and sin, and strife,
I rest in my dear bridegroom's love!
Ever living in that Life,
Which Jesus lives above.
2 O! the heights of Jesus's grace,
Which I so richly view,
Saviour, in thy lov'd embrace
Are blessings ever new:
Blessings, constant as the day,
Flows from that wounded heart of thine;
All the force of words can't say
How glorious, how divine.
3 Lost in wonder, I alore
The mighty Prince of Life;
Him to praise for evermore,
Be now my only strife:
That God might not frown on me,
Nor doom my soul to banishment,
He upon the shameful tree
To suffer was content.
4 Patient he the cross endur'd
Did all the shame despise,
Well he knew and was assur'd,
This bloody sacrifice
Should his children all complete
In spotless truth and purity;
This the joy before him set
When he engag'd to die.
5 Here my sin and curse was drown'd,
Redemption here obtain'd;
Here the peace, once lost, and found,
And Life eternal gain'd:
Dead upon the cross, in him,
Atonement for my sin I see,
Weeping from each lifeless limb,
For enemies, for me. Scripture: Romans 5:8-9
Peace, by the Blood of the Cross
Human Weakess owned
Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Fall of Man, or Depravity of Humna Nature First Line: My Lord, how great's the Favour! Lyrics: 1 My Lord, how great's the Favour!
That I a Sinner Poor,
Can thro' thy Blood's sweet Savour
Approach thy Mercy's door:
And find an open Passage
Unto the Throne of Grace;
There wait the welcome Message,
That bids me go in Peace.
2 Lord, I'm an helpless Creature,
Full of the deepest Need.
Throughout defil'd by Nature
Stupid, and inly dead:
My Strength is perfect Weakness,
And all I have is Sin;
My Heart is all Uncleanness,
A Den of Thieves within.
3 In this forlorn Condition,
Who shall afford me Aid?
Where shall I find Compassion
But in the Church's Head?
Jesus thou art all Pity,
O take me to thine Arms,
And exercise thy Mercy,
To save me from all Harms.
4 I'll never cease repeating
My numberless Complaints;
But ever be intreating
The glorious King of Saints
'Til I attain the Image
Of him I inly Love;
And pay my greatful Homage
With all the Saints above.
5 Then I, with all in Glory,
Will thankfully relate
Th' amazing, pleasing Story
Of Jesu's Love so great;
In this blest Contemplation
I ever shall be well;
And prove such Consolation,
As none below can tell.

The Triumphs of the Dying Saviour
Author: S. Stennett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Who tasted Death for Every Man First Line: No more, dear Savior, will I boast Lyrics: 1 No more, dear Saviour, will I boast
Of beauty, wealth, or loud applause:
The world has all its glories lost,
Amid the triumphs of the cross.
2 In ev'ry feature of thy face
Beauty her fairest charms displays;
Truth, wisdom, majesty, and grace
Shine thence in sweetly mingled rays.
3 Thy wealth, the pow’r of thought transcends,
’Tis vast, immense, and all divine:
Thy empire, Lord, o’er all extends;
The sun, the moon, the stars are thine.
4 Yet (O how marvelous the sight!)
I see thee on a cross expire;
Thy Godhead veil'd in sable night;
And angels from the scene retire.
5 But, why from these sad scenes retreat?
Why with your wings your faces hide?
He ne'er appear'd so good, so great,
As when he bow'd his head and died.
6 The indignation of a God
On him avenging justice hurl'd:
Beneath the weight he firmly stood,
And nobly sav'd a falling world.
7 These triumphs of stupendous grace
Surprise, rejoice, and melt my heart;
Lord, at thy cross I stand and gaze,
Nor would I ever thence depart! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:21-23
