From Every Stormy Wind That Blows

Now I have found the ground wherein

Author: J. A. Rothe Hymnal: Hymn Book #69 (1884) Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein Sure my soul’s anchor may remain; The wounds of Jesus, for my sin Before the world’s foundation slain; Whose mercy shall unshaken stay, When heaven and earth are fled away. 2 Father, Thine everlasting grace Our feeble thought surpasses far; Thy heart still melts with tenderness, Thine arms of love still open are, Returning sinners to receive, That mercy they may taste, and live. 3 O Love, thou bottomless abyss! My sins are swallowed up in Thee: Covered is my unrighteousness, Nor spot of guilt remains on me; While Jesus’ blood, through earth and skies, Mercy--free, boundless mercy--cries. 4 With faith I plunge me in this sea, Here is my hope, my joy, my rest; Hither, when hell assails, I flee, I look into my Saviour’s breast: Away, sad doubt and anxious fear! Mercy is all that’s written there. 5 Though waves and storms go o’er my head, Though strength, and health, and friends be gone; Though joys be withered all and dead, Though every comfort be withdrawn: On this my steadfast soul relies, Father, Thy mercy never dies. 6 Fixed on this ground will I remain, Though my heart fail, and flesh decay; This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth’s foundations melt away, Mercy’s full power I then shall prove, Loved with an everlasting love.

There is a Fountain filled with Blood

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Concordia #124 (1918) Topics: The Christian Life Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners, plung'd beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, tho' vile as he, Wash all my sins away, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more, Be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be, till I die, And shall be, till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave, Lies silent in the grave.

Children Of God, Born Again Of His Spirit

Author: H. A. Brorson; P. C. Paulsen Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #130 (1930) Meter: 11.10.11.10.11.11 Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Children of God, born again of His Spirit, Never we cease in His name to rejoice, Jesus believing, and saved by His merit, Come we to God with a jubilant voice. Let then each voice to the Father uplifted Widely proclaim that with grace we are gifted. 2 Evil by nature, and dead in transgression, Cold as a statue, and hard as a stone, This was our state when He, moved by compassion, Chose in His wisdom to call us His own. Led by His Spirit and called by His favor, Heard we the life-giving voice of our Savior. 3 When we consider the tho'ts of our Father, As He elected us children by grace, Sending His Spirit with mercy to gather Us who had fallen and turned from His face, How can we help but be moved by His favor, And thus acclaim Him our Father forever? 4 What can be charged to the Father's elected Whom He made just in Christ Jesus, our Lord? Here is sweet balsam for all the afflicted, Grace for the lost in His life-giving Word. Faith, breaking thro' ev'ry fear of damnation, Finds in the Savior the pledge of salvation.

To Him, until my days are ended, My troubled heart shall ever flee, And, by His love and mercy blest, Find comfort, solace, peace and rest. 6 On this foundation e'er remaining While in this transient world I dwell, And mercy every hour obtaining, I shall not fail its praise to tell, Until, in blest eternity, Unfathomed love my song shall be.
