Wesley, 1703-91 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #376 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 Jesus, your blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress; Mid flaming worlds, in these arrayed, With joy shall I lift up my head. 2 Bold shall I stand in that great day-- Who can a word against me say?

Your boundless mercy has for me, For me and all your hands have made, An everlasting ransom paid. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CRISPIN

Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Richard Massie, 1800-87 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #377 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing, And, with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God has done, How his right arm the vict'ry won. How dearly it has cost him! 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay; Death brooded darkly o'er me. Sin was my torment night and day; In sin my mother bore me. Yet deep and deeper still I fell; Life had become a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 My own good works availed me naught, No merit they attaining; My will against God's judgment fought, No hope for me remaining. My fears increased till sheer despair Left naught but death to be my share And hell to be my sentence. 4 But God beheld my wretched state Before the world's foundation, And, mindful of his mercies great, He planned my soul's salvation. A Father's heart he turned to me, Sought my redemption fervently; He gave his dearest treasure. 5 He spoke to his beloved Son: "'Tis time to have compassion. Then go, bright Jewel of my crown, And bring mankind salvation. From sin and sorrow set them free; Slay bitter death for them that they May live with you forever." 6 The Son obeyed his Father's will, Was born of virgin mother, And, God's good pleasure to fulfill, He came to be my brother. No garb of pomp or pow'r he wore; A servant's form like mine he bore To lead the devil captive. 7 To me he spoke, "Hold fast to me-- I am your rock and castle. Your ransom I myself will be; For you I strive and wrestle. For I am yours, your friend divine, And evermore you shall be mine; The foe shall not divide us. 8 "The foe shall shed my precious blood, Me of my life bereaving. All this I suffer for your good; Be steadfast and believing. Life shall from death the vict'ry win; My innocence shall bear your sin, And you are blest forever. 9 "Now to my Father I depart, The Holy Spirit sending And, heav'nly wisdom to impart, My help to you extending. He will a source of comfort be, Teach you to know and follow me, And in all truth will guide you. 10 "What I on earth have lived and taught Be all your life and teaching; So shall my kingdom's work be wrought And honored in your preaching. Take care that no one's man-made laws Should e'er destroy the gospel's cause. This final word I leave you." Languages: English Tune Title: NUN FREUT EUCH, LIEBEN CHRISTEN

All Mankind Fell in Adam's Fall

Author: Lazarus Spengler, 1479-1534; Matthias Loy, 1828-1915 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #378 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Justification; Justification Lyrics: 1 All mankind fell in Adam's fall; One common sin infects us all. From one to all the curse descends, And over all God's wrath impends. 2 Through all our pow'rs corruption creeps And us in dreadful bondage keeps; In guilt we draw our infant breath And reap its fruits of woe and death. 3 From hearts depraved, to evil prone, Flow thoughts and deeds of sin alone; God's image lost, the darkened soul Nor seeks nor finds its heav'nly goal. 4 But Christ, the second Adam, came To bear our sin and woe and shame, To be our life, our light, our way, Our only hope, our only stay. 5 As by one man all mankind fell And, born in sin, was doomed to hell, So by one Man, who took our place, We all were justified by grace. 6 We thank you, Christ; new life is ours, New light, new hope, new strength, new pow'rs; This grace our ev'ry way attend Until we reach our journey's end.

You removed the sin that stained me, Cleansing me to be your own; For this purpose you ordained me, That I live for you alone. 2 It was grace in Christ that called me, Taught my darkened heart and mind, Else the world had yet enthralled me, To your heav'nly glories blind. Now I worship none above you; For your grace alone I thirst, Knowing well that, if I love you, You, O Father, loved me first. 3 Praise the God of all creation; Praise the Father's boundless love. Praise the Lamb, our expiation, Priest and King enthroned above. Praise the Spirit of salvation, Him by whom our spirits live. Undivided adoration To the great Jehovah give.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 4 When he shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in him be found, Clothed in his righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before his throne. On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. Languages: English Tune Title: MAGDALEN

By Grace I'm Saved

Author: Christian L. Scheidt, 1709-61 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #384 (1993) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Justification; Justification First Line: By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless Lyrics: 1 By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless; My soul, believe and doubt it not. Why waver at this word of promise? Has Scripture ever falsehood taught? So then this word must true remain: By grace you, too, shall heav'n obtain. 2 By grace God's Son, our only Savior, Came down to earth to bear our sin. Was it because of your own merit That Jesus died, your soul to win? No, it was grace, and grace alone, That brought him from his heav'nly throne. 3 By grace! Oh, mark this word of promise When you are by your sins oppressed, When Satan plagues your troubled conscience, And when your heart is seeking rest. What reason cannot comprehend God by his grace to you did send. 4 By grace to timid hearts that tremble, In tribulation's furnace tried -- By grace, despite all fear and trouble, The Father's heart is open wide. Where could I help and strength secure If grace were not my anchor sure? 5 By grace! On this I'll rest when dying; In Jesus' promise I rejoice. For though I know my heart's condition, I also know my Savior's voice. My heart is glad; all grief has flown Since I am saved by grace alone.

As the branch is to the vine, I am his and he is mine! 2 Oh, the height of Jesus' love, Higher than the heav'ns above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting as eternity, Love that found me -- wondrous thought!-- Found me when I sought him not. 3 Only Jesus can impart Comfort to a wounded heart: Peace that flows from sin forgiv'n, Joy that lifts the soul to heav'n, Faith and hope to walk with God In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me. All my wants to him are known; All my sorrows are his own. Safe with him in earthly strife, I await the heav'nly life. 5 Strengthen me, O gracious Lord, By your Spirit and your word. When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die. Languages: English Tune Title: GETHSEMANE
