Freely from thy fullness give; Till I close my earthly race, Be it "Christ for me to live!" 3 Firmly trusting in thy blood, Nothing shall my heart confound; Safely I shall pass the flood, Safely reach Immanuel's ground. 4 When I touch the blessed shore, Back the closing waves shall roll! Death's dark stream shall nevermore Part from thee my ravished soul. 5 Thus oh, thus an entrance give To the land of cloudless sky; Having known it "Christ to live," Let me know it "gain to die."

Hail, in the time appointed, God's reign on earth begun! Christ comes to break oppression, to set the captive free; to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2 Christ comes with justice surely to those who suffer wrong, to help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong, to give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, are precious in his sight. 3 Christ shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth, and love, joy, hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth. Before him on the mountains shall peace, the herald, go, and righteousness in fountains from hill to valley flow. 4 To him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend, his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never his covenant remove. His name shall stand for ever: that name to us is Love. Used With Tune: CRÜGER

Christ the Sinner's Hiding-Place

Author: Brewer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 222 hymnals Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: Hail, sovereign Love, that first began Lyrics: 1 Hail, sovereign love, that first began The scheme to rescue fallen man! Hail, matchless, free, eternal grace, That gave my soul a hiding-place! 2 [Against the God who rules the sky I fought with hand uplifted high; Despised the mention of his grace, Too proud to seek a hiding-place. 3 But thus the eternal counsel ran: “Almighty love, arrest that man!” I felt the arrows of distress, And found I had no hiding-place. 4 Indignant Justice stood in view; To Sinai’s fiery mount I flew; But Justice cried, with frowning face, “This mountain is no hiding-place!” 5 Ere long a heavenly voice I heard, And Mercy’s angel-form appeared; She led me on, with placid pace, To Jesus, as my Hiding-place.] 6 Should storms of seven-fold thunder roll, And shake the globe from pole to pole, No flaming bolt could daunt my face, For Jesus is my Hiding-place. 7 On him almighty vengeance fell, That must have sunk a world to hell; He bore it for a chosen race, And thus became their Hiding-place. 8 A few more rolling suns, at most, Will land me on fair Canaan’s coast, Where I shall sing the song of grace, And see my glorious Hiding-place.
