Christ, the Believer's Surety

Author: Hart Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (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

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
