Praise to God for renewing Grace

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Regeneration First Line: To God, my Savior and my king Lyrics: 1 To God, my Savior and my king, Fain would my soul her tribute bring Join me, ye saints, in songs of praise, For ye have known and felt his grace. 2 Wretched and helpless once I lay, Just breathing all my life away; He saw me welt'ring in my blood, And felt the pity of a God. 3 With peed he fled to my relief, Bound up my wounds, and sooth'd my grief; Pour'd joys divine into my heart, And bade each anxious fear depart. 4 These proofs of love, my dearest lord, Deep in my breast I will record: The life which I from thee receive, To thee, behold, I freely give. 5 My heart and tongue shall tune thy praise, Thro' the remainder of my days; And when I join the powers above, My soul shall better sing thy love.

God ready to forgive; or, Despair sinful

Author: Stogdon Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Pardon First Line: What mean these jealousies and fears Lyrics: 1 What mean these jealousies and fears, As if the Lord were loth to save, Or lov'd to see us drench'd in tears, Or sink with sorrow to the grave? 2 Does he want slaves to grace his throne? Or crush them with an iron rod? Loves he the deep despairing groan? Is he a tyrant, or a God. 3 Not all the sins which we have wrought So much his tender bowels grieve, As this unkind injurious thought, That he's unwilling to forgive. 4 What tho' our crimes are black as night, Or glowing like the crimson morn, Immanuel's blood will make them white As snow thro' the pure aether borne. 5 Lord, 'tis amazing grace we won, And well may rebel-worms surprise, But was not thy incarnate son A most amazing sacrifice? 6 "I've found a ransom," saith the lord, "No humble penitent shall die;" Lord, we would now believe thy word, And thy unbounded mercies try!

Human righteousness insufficieint to justify

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Justification First Line: Wherewith O Lord, shall I draw near Lyrics: 1 Wherewith, O Lord, shall I draw near, Or bow myself before thy face? How in thy purer eyes appear? What shall I bring to gain thy grace? 2 Will gifts delight the Lord most high? Will multiply'd oblations please? Thousands of rams his favor buy, Or slaughter'd hecatombs appease. 3 Can these assuage the wrath of God? Can these wash out my guilty stain? Rives of oil, or seas of blood, Alas! they all must flow in vain. 4 What have I then wherein to trust? I nothing have, I nothing am; Excluded is my ev'ry boast, My glory swallow'd up in shame. 5 Guilty, I stand before thy face; My sole desert, is hell and wrath; 'Twere just the sentence should take place, But O, I plead my Savior's death! 6 I plead the merits of thy son Who died for sinners on the tree; I plead his righteousness alone, O put the spotless robe on me. Scripture: Micah 6:6-8

The consequences of Election

Author: Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings God's Everlasting Love First Line: Who shall condemn to endless flames Lyrics: 1 Who shall condemn to endless flames The chosen people of our God? Since in the book of life their names Are fairly writ in Jesu's blood. 2 He, for the sins of all the elect, Hath a complete atonement made: And justice never can expect That the same debt should twice be paid. 3 Not tribulation, nakedness, The famine, peril, or the sword; Not persecution, or distress, Can separate from Christ the Lord. 4 Nor life, nor death, nor depth, nor height, Nor powers below, nor powers above; Not present things, nor things to come, Can change his purposes of love. 5 His sovereign mercy knows no end, His faithfulness shall still endure: And those who on his truth depend, Shall find his word for ever sure. Scripture: Romans 8:33-39

Used With Tune: [As birds unto the genial homeland fly]
