The gospel worthy of all acceptance

Author: Dr. Gibbons Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: Jesus the eternal Son of God Lyrics: 1 Jesus the eternal Son of God, Whom seraphim obey, The bosom of the Father leaves, And enters human clay. 2 Into our sinful world he comes The Messenger of grace, And on the bloody tree expires A victim in our place. 3 Transgressors of the deepest stain In him salvation find; His blood removes the foulest guilt, His spirit heals the mind. 4 Our Jesus saves from sin and hell, His words are true and sure, And on this rock our faith may rest Immoveably secure. 5 O let these Tidings be receiv'd, With universal joy, And let the high angel praise, Our tuneful pow'rs employ, 6 "Glory to God, who gave his son" To bear our shame and pain, Hence peace on earth and grace to men In endless blessings reign.

For a clean Heart

Appears in 1,176 hymnals Topics: Before Sermon First Line: O for an heart to love my God! Lyrics: 1 O for an heart to love my GOD! An heart from sin set free; A heart that always feels thy blood So freely shed for me! 2 A heart resign'd submissive, meek, My dear Redeemer's throne; Where only CHRIST is heard to speak, Where JESUS reigns alone. 3 An humble, lowly, contrite heart, Believing, true, and clean; Which neither life nor death can part From him that dwells within. 4 An heart in every thought renew'd And fill'd with love divine: Perfect and right and pure and good, A copy, LORD, of thine. 5 Thy tender heart is still the same, And melts at human woe; Send down thy grace, O blessed Lamb, That I thy love may know. 6 Thy holy nature, LORD! impart; Come quickly from above; Write thy new name upon my heart, Thy new best name of love.
