Just and holy is Thy name; I am all unrighteousness False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Amen. Used With Tune: REFUGE

Christ, exalted, is our song

Author: Kent Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ Lyrics: 1 Christ exalted is our song, Hymned by all the blood-bought throng; To his throne our shouts shall rise; God with us by sacred ties. 2 Shout, believer, to thy God! He has once the wine-press trod; Peace procured by blood divine; Cancelled all thy sins and mine. 3 Here thy bleeding wounds are healed; Sin condemned and pardon sealed; Grace her empire still maintains; Christ without a rival reigns. 4 [Through corruption, felt within, Darkness, deadness, guilt, and sin, Still to Jesus turn thy eyes – Israel’s hope and sacrifice.] 5 In thy Surety thou art free; His dear hands were pierced for thee; With his spotless vesture on, Holy as the Holy One. 6 O the heights, the depths of grace, Shining with meridian blaze! Here the sacred records show Sinners black but comely too. 7 Saints dejected, cease to mourn; Faith shall soon to vision turn; Ye the kingdom shall obtain, And with Christ exalted reign.
