Christ, the Way

Author: Cennick Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #144 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone, He whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I’ll pursue The narrow way, till him I view. 2 [The way the holy prophets went, The road that leads from banishment, The King’s highway of holiness I’ll go, for all his paths are peace.] 3 This is the way I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not; My grief, my burden long has been, Because I could not cease from sin. 4 The more I strove against its power, I sinned and stumbled but the more; Till late I heard my Saviour say, “Come hither, soul, I AM THE WAY.” 5 Lo! glad I come; and thou, blest Lamb, Shalt take me to thee as I am; Nothing but sin I thee can give; Nothing but love shall I receive. 6 Then will I tell to sinners round, What a dear Saviour I have found; I’ll point to thy redeeming blood, And say, “Behold the way to God.” Languages: English

Christ his People's Surety

Author: Berridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #148 (1844) Meter: 8.8.6 Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: For wretched strangers, such as I Lyrics: 1 For wretched strangers such as I, The Saviour left his native sky, And surety would become; He undertakes for sinners lost, And, having paid the utmost cost, Returns triumphant home. 2 A judgment bond against me lay, Law charges, too, which he must pay, But found a smarting debt. The garden scene begins his woes, And fetches agonising throes, And draws a bloody sweat. 3 His back with hardy stripes is hewed, Till flakes of gore, and streams of blood, Besmear the frighted ground! A scornful and a smarting crown His holy head is thrust upon, And thorns begird it round. 4 He smarts with nails that pierce his feet, And smarts with hanging all his weight Upon the accursèd tree! He smarts beneath a Father’s rod, And roars aloud, “Why, O my God, Hast thou forsaken me?” 5 [May all my Saviour’s love and smart, Be sweetly graven on my heart, And with me fast abide; And let me sing thy praises well, And love thee more than I can tell, And trust in none beside.] Languages: English

(Gadsby's Hymns) #151 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: What slavish fears molest my mind Lyrics: 1 What slavish fears molest my mind, And vex my sickly soul! How is it, Lord, that thou art kind, And yet I am not whole? 2 [Ah! why should unbelief and pride, With all their hellish train, Still in my ransomed soul abide, And give me all this pain? 3 Thy word is past, thy promise made; With power it came from heaven; “Cheer up, desponding soul,” it said, “Thy sins are all forgiven. 4 “Behold, I make thy cause my own; I bought thee with my blood; Thy wicked works on me be thrown, And I will work thy good. 5 “I am thy God, thy Guide till death, Thy everlasting Friend; On me for love, for works, for faith, On me for all depend.”] 6 Thy blood, dear Lord, has brought my peace, And paid the heavy debt; Has given a fair and full release, But I’m in prison yet. 7 Unjustly now these foes of mine Their devilish hate pursue; They made my Surety pay the fine, Yet plague the prisoner too. 8 What right can my tormentors plead, That I should not be free? Here’s an amazing change indeed! Justice is now for me. 9 Lord, break these bars that thus confine, These chains that gall me so; Say to that ugly gaoler, Sin, “Loose him, and let him go.” Languages: English

Havergal Hymnal: Laudes Domini #376 (1888) Topics: Christ Character of First Line: Master, speak! thy servant heareth Lyrics: 1 Master, speak! thy servant heareth, Longing for thy gracious word, Longing for thy voice that cheereth; Master, let it now be heard. I am listening, Lord, for thee; What hast thou to say to me? 2 Often through my heart is pealing Many another voice than thine; Many an unwilled echo stealing From the walls of this thy shrine. Let thy longed-for accents fall; Master, speak! and silence all. 3 Master, speak! I do not doubt thee, Though to tearfully I plead; Saviour, Shepherd! oh, without thee Life would be a blank indeed. But I long for fuller light, Deeper love and clearer sight. 4 Speak to me by name, O Master, Let me know it is to me; Speak, that I may follow faster, With a step more firm and free, Where the Shepherd leads the flock. In the shadow of the rock! Scripture: Psalm 25:14 Languages: English Tune Title: GRANGE
