Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Salvation First Line: In songs of sublime adoration and praise Lyrics: 1 In songs of sublime adoration and praise, Ye pilgrims for Sion who press, Break forth, and extol the great ancient of days, His rich and distinguishing grace. 2 His love from eternity fix'd upon you, Broke forth and discover'd its flame, And now with the cords of his kindness he draws, And brings us to love his great name. 3 O had he not pitied the state you were in, Your bosoms his love had ne'er felt, You all would have liv'd, would have dy'd too in sin And sunk with the load of our guilt. 4 What was there in man that could merit esteem, Or give the Creator delight? 'Twas "even so, Father," you ever must sing, "Because it seem'd good in thy sight." 5 'Twas all of thy grace we were bro't to obey While others were suffer'd to go, The road which by nature we chose as our way, Which leads to the regions of woe. 6 Then give all the glory to his holy name; To him all the glory belongs; Be yours the high joys still to sound forth his fame, And crown him in each of your songs. Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3

I'd all on earth forsake, Its wisdom, fame, and power; And him my only portion make, My shield and tower. 3 The God of Abram praise, Whose all-sufficient grace Shall guide me all my happy days, In all his ways: He calls a worm his friend? He calls himself my God! And he shall save me to the end, Thro' Jesu's blood. 4 He by himself hath sworn, I on his oath depend, I shall, on Eagle's wings up-borne, To heav'n ascend: I shall behold his face, I shall his power adore: And sing the wonders of his grace For evermore! Part the Second. 5 Tho' nature's strength decay, And earth and hell withstand; To Canaan's bounds I urge my way At God's command; The watry deep I pass, With Jesus in my view, And thro' the howling wilderness My way pursue. 6 The goodly land I see, With peace and plenty blest; The land of sacred liberty, And endless rest. There milk and honey flow, And oil and wine abound; And trees of life for ever grow, With mercy crown'd. 7 There dwells the Lord our King, The Lord our righteousness; Triumphant o'er the world and sin, The Prince of Peace. On Sion's sacred height His kingdom still maintains; And glorious, with his saints in light, For ever reigns. 8 The ransom'd nations bow, Before the Savior's face, Joyful their radiant crowns they throw, O'erwhelm'd with grace: He shews his fears of love; They kindle to a flame, And sound thro' all the world above, "The slaughter'd Lamb." 9 The whole triumphant host; Give thanks to God on high: "Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!" They ever cry. Hail Abram's God and mine, I join the heavenly lays: All might and majesty are thine, And endless praise.

Our ransom he paid! In his merit array'd, We attain to the glory for which we were made. 4 Sweet spirit of grace, Thy mercy we bless For thy eminent share in the council of peace: Great agent divine, To restore us is thine, And cause us afresh in thy likeness to shine. 5 O God, ’tis thy part To convince and convert: To give a new life, and create a new heart: By thy presence and grace We’re upheld in our race, And are kept in thy love to the end of our days. 6 Father, Spirit and Son Agree thus in one, The salvation of those he has mark'd for his own: Let us too agree To glorify thee, Thou ineffable one, thou adorable three?
