Creator of the starry height

Amen.

Chief of Sinners Though I Be

Author: William McComb, 1793-1873 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:8-11 Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners though I be, Jesus shed His blood for me. Died that I might live on high, Lived that I might never die. 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 Balm to heal the 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. He sustains the hidden life Safe with Him from earthly strife. 5 O my Savior, help afford 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. Topics: Confession and Absolution Used With Tune: GETHSEMANE

I Am Not Skilled to Understand

Author: Dorothy Greenwell Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 82 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:6-8 Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand what God hath willed, what God has planned; I only know at his right hand stands one who is my Savior! 2 I take him at his word and deed; “Christ died to save me,” this I read; and in my heart I find a need of him to be my Savior. 3 That he should leave his place on high and come for sinners here to die; you find it strange? So once did I, before I knew my Savior. 4 I hope that Christ my Lord may see fulfillment of his work in me; and with his child contented be as I with my dear Savior! 5 Yes, living, dying, let me bring my strength, my comfort from this spring: that he who lives to be my King once died to be my Savior.
