Pattern of Forgiveness

Author: John H. Gurney Appears in 248 hymnals Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to thy dear cross we flee, And pray to be forgiven, So let thy life our pattern be, And form our souls for heaven. 2 Help us, through good report and ill, Our daily cross to bear; Like thee, to do our Father's will, Our brother's griefs to share. 3 Let grace our selfishness expel, Our earthliness refine; And kindness in our bosoms dwell As free and true as thine. 4 If joy shall at thy bidding fly, And grief's dark day come on, We, in our turn, would meekly cry, "Father, thy will be done!" 5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife, Forgiving and forgiven, Oh, may we lead the pilgrim's life, And follow thee to heaven! Scripture: Matthew 7:1 Used With Tune: HELENA

In His hand are earth's deep places, His the strength of all the hills; His the sea whose bounds He traces, His the land His bounty fills. 3 To the Lord, such might revealing, Let us come with rev'rence meet, And, before our Maker kneeling, Let us worship at His feet. He is our own God who leads us, We the people of His care; With a shepherd's hand He feeds us As His flock in pastures fair. 4 While He proffers peace and pardon Let us hear His voice today, Lest, if we our hearts should harden, We should perish in the way; Lest to us, so unbelieving, He in judgment should declare: Ye, so long my Spirit grieving, Never in My rest can share.

Christ, exalted, is our song

He has once the wine-press trod; Peace procured by blood divine; Cancelled all thy sins and mine. 3 Here thy bleeding wounds are healed; Sin condemned and pardon sealed; Grace her empire still maintains; Christ without a rival reigns. 4 [Through corruption, felt within, Darkness, deadness, guilt, and sin, Still to Jesus turn thy eyes – Israel’s hope and sacrifice.] 5 In thy Surety thou art free; His dear hands were pierced for thee; With his spotless vesture on, Holy as the Holy One. 6 O the heights, the depths of grace, Shining with meridian blaze! Here the sacred records show Sinners black but comely too. 7 Saints dejected, cease to mourn; Faith shall soon to vision turn; Ye the kingdom shall obtain, And with Christ exalted reign.
