Not What These Hands have Done

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Not what these hands have done Can save this guilty soul; Not what this toiling flesh has borne Can make my spirit whole. 2 Not what I feel or do Can give me peace with God; Not all my prayers and sighs and tears Can bear my awe-full load. 3 Thy work alone, O Christ, Can ease this weight of sin; Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God, Can give me peace within. 4 Thy love to me, O God, Not mine, O Lord, to Thee, Can rid me of this dark unrest, And set my spirit free. 5 Thy grace alone, O God, To me can pardon speak; Thy power alone, O Son of God, Can this sore bondage break. 6 I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; And with unfaltering lip and heart, I call this Savior mine. Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 2:8-9 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

If Your Beloved Son, O God

Author: Johann Heermann, 1585-1647 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Justification Lyrics: 1 If your beloved Son, O God, had not to earth descended and in our mortal flesh and blood had not sin's power ended, then this poor, wretched soul of mine in hell eternally would pine because of my transgression. 2 But now I find sweet peace and rest; despair no more reigns o'er me. No more am I by sin oppressed, for Christ has borne sin for me. Upon the cross for me he died that, reconciled, I might abide with you, my God, forever. 3 I trust in him with all my heart; now all my sorrow ceases. His words abiding peace impart; his blood from guilt releases. Free grace thro' him I now obtain; he washes me from ev'ry stain, and pure I stand before him. 4 All righteousness by works is vain; the law brings condemnation. True righteousness by faith I gain; Christ's work is my salvation. His death, that perfect sacrifice, has paid the all-sufficient price; in him my hope is anchored. 5 My guilt, O Father, you have laid on Christ, your Son, my Savior. Lord Jesus, you my debt have paid and gained for me God's favor. O Holy Spirit, fount of grace, the good in me to you I trace; in faith and hope preserve me.

What more can He say than to you He has said, Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled? 2 "In every condition--in sickness, in health, In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth, At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea, As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be. 3 "Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed; For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand. 4 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 5 "When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie, My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 6 "E'en down to old age, all My people shall prove My sovereign eternal, unchangeable love; And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. 7 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose, I will not, I cannot desert to His foes: That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I’ll never--no never--no, never forsake!"

Oh, where shall rest be found

Author: Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 651 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Justification By Faith Lyrics: 1 Oh, where shall rest be found, Rest for the weary soul! 'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole. 2 The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh; 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. 3 Beyond this vale of tears There is a life above; Unmeasured by the flight of years-- And all that life is love. 4 There is a death whose pang Outlasts the fleeting breath: Oh! what eternal horrors hang Around the second death! 5 Lord, God of truth and grace, Teach us that death to shun; Lest we be driven from thy face, And evermore undone.
