To save a poor sinner, to save a poor sinner

Author: John Lawley (1859-1922) Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: When Jesus was born in the manger Lyrics: 1 When Jesus was born in the manger The shepherds came thither to see, For the angels proclaimed that a Saviour was born To save a poor sinner like me. Refrain: To save a poor sinner, to save a poor sinner, To save a poor sinner like me; For the angels proclaimed that a Saviour was born To save a poor sinner like me. 2 He was wounded for my transgressions, Acquainted with sorrow was he; In the garden he prayed, and sweat great drops of blood, To save a poor sinner like me. 3 He was brought to Pilate for judgment, He was sentenced to hang on a tree. It is finished! he cried, when he suffered and died To save a poor sinner like me. 4 But death and the grave could not hold him, He burst them asunder for thee. On the third day he rose, in spite of his foes, To save a poor sinner like me. 5 I’m fighting my passage to Heaven, O’er death I shall conqueror be. Then to Glory I’ll fly, and shout through the sky: He saved a poor sinner like me. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Atoning work

Within my heart, O Lord, fulfil

Author: Herbert Howard Booth (1862-1926) Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Within my heart, O Lord, fulfil The purpose of thy death and pain, That all may know thou livest still In blood-washed hearts to rule and reign. 2 O Lord, I gaze upon thy face, That suffering face so marred for me; Touched by the wonders of thy grace My heart in love goes out to thee. 3 O Saviour, by thy bleeding form The world is crucified to me; Thy loving heart, so rent and torn, Thy suffering bids me share with thee. 4 ‘Twas on the cross thou didst redeem My soul from sin and dark despair; ‘Tis near the cross I would be seen, And welcome every sinner there.

Wonderful! Wonderful

Author: J. M. Driver Appears in 177 hymnals First Line: Wonderful story of love Lyrics: 1 Wonderful story of love! Tell it to me again; Wonderful story of love! Wake the immortal strain. Angels with rapture announce it, Shepherds with wonder receive it; Sinner, O won’t you believe it? Wonderful story of love! Refrain: Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful story, Wonderful story of love! 2 Wonderful story of love! Though you are far away; Wonderful story of love! Still he doth call today. Calling from Calvary’s mountain, Down from the crystal bright fountain, E’en from the dawn of creation; Wonderful story of love! 3 Wonderful story of love! Jesus provides a rest; Wonderful story of love! For all the pure and blest; Rest in those mansions above us, With those who’ve gone on before us, Singing the rapturous chorus; Wonderful story of love! Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Atoning work

Would Jesus have the sinner die

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Would Jesus have the sinner die? Why hangs he then on yonder tree? What means that strange expiring cry? Sinners, he prays for you and me. Forgive them, Father, O forgive! They know not that by me they live! 2 Jesus descended from above Our loss of Eden to retrieve; Great God of universal love, If all the world through thee may live, In me a quickening Spirit be And witness thou hast died for me! 3 Thou loving, all-atoning Lamb! Thee—by thy painful agony, Thy sweat of blood, thy grief and shame, Thy cross and passion on the tree, Thy precious death and life—I pray, Take all, take all my sins away. 4 O let me kiss thy bleeding feet, And bathe and wash them with my tears; The story of thy love repeat In every drooping sinner’s ears, That all may hear the quickening sound, Since I, even I, have mercy found. 5 O let thy love my heart constrain, Thy love for every sinner free; That every fallen soul of man May taste the grace that found out me, That all mankind with me may prove Thy sovereign, everlasting love!

At the name of Jesus

Author: Caroline Maria Noel (1817-77) Appears in 253 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus Every knee shall bow, Every tongue confess him King of Glory now; ‘Tis the Father’s pleasure We should call him Lord, Who from the beginning Was the mighty Word. 2 At his voice creation Sprang at once to sight, All the angel faces, All the hosts of light, Thrones and dominations, Stars upon their way, All the heavenly orders In their great array. 3 Humbled for a season, To receive a name From the lips of sinners Unto whom he came, Faithfully he bare it Spotless to the last, Brought it back victorious When from death he passed. 4 Bore it up triumphant With its human light, Through all ranks of creatures To the central height, To the throne of Godhead, To the Father’s breast; Filled it with the glory Of that perfect rest. 5 In your hearts enthrone him; There let him subdue All that is not holy, All that is not true; Crown him as your captain In temptation’s hour; Let his will enfold you In its light and power.

Christ is alive! Let Christians sing

Author: Brian Wren Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing. His cross stands empty to the sky. Let streets and homes with praises ring. His love in death shall never die. 2 Christ is alive! No longer bound To distant years in Palestine, He comes to claim the here and now And conquer every place and time. 3 Not throned above, remotely high, Untouched, unmoved by human pains, But daily, in the midst of life, Our Saviour with the Father reigns. 4 In every insult, rift and war, Where colour, scorn or wealth divide, He suffers still, yet loves the more, And lives, though ever crucified. 5 Christ is alive! His Spirit burns Through this and every future age, Till all creation lives and learns His joy, his justice, love and praise. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Resurrection and ascension

Christ the Lord is risen today, Hallelujah

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 1,178 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord is risen today, Hallelujah! Sons of men and angels say: Hallelujah! Raise your joys and triumphs high; Hallelujah! Sing ye heavens; thou earth, reply: Hallelujah! 2 Love’s redeeming work is done; Fought the fight, the battle won; Lo! the sun’s eclipse is o’er, Lo! he sets in blood no more. 3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Christ hath burst the gates of Hell; Death in vain forbids his rise; Christ hath opened Paradise. 4 Lives again our glorious King; Where, O death, is now thy sting? Once he died our souls to save; Where’s thy victory, boasting grave? 5 Soar we now where Christ has led, Following our exalted head; Made like him, like him we rise, Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
