And all my rising bones shall say, Lord, who is like to Thee! 6 If such the views which grace unfolds, Weak as it is below, What raptures must the Church above, In Jesus' presence know.

Now I have found the ground wherein

Meter: Irregular Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein Sure my soul’s anchor may remain: The love of God forgiving sin, Through Jesus crucified and slain. His mercy shall unshaken stay, When heav'n and earth have pass'd away. 2 Father! thine everlasting grace Our scanty thought surpasses far; Thine heart still melts with tenderness, Thine arms of love still open are; And Jesus' blood, through earth and skies, Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries. 3 Tho' waves and storms go o’er my head, Tho' strength and health and friends be gone, Tho' joys be wither'd all and dead, Tho' every comfort be withdrawn: On this my steadfast soul relies, Father, thy mercy never dies. 4 Fix'd on this ground will I remain, Tho' my heart fail and flesh decay, This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth’s foundations melt away, Mercy’s full pow'r I then shall prove, Lov'd with an everlasting love.

On the brink of fi'ry ruin

Meter: Irregular Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Christian experience The convert entertaining hope of pardon Lyrics: 1 On the brink of fi'ry ruin, Justice, with a flaming sword, Was my guilty soul pursuing When I first beheld my Lord. 2 Terrify'd with Sinai's thunder, Straight I flew to Calvary, Where I saw with love and wonder, Hi by faith who died for me. 3 "Sinner," he exclaim'd, "I've lov'd thee With an everlasting love; Justice has in me approv'd thee; Thou shalt dwell with me above." 4 Sweet as angels' notes in heaven, When to golden harps they sound, Is the voice of sins forgiven, To the soul by satan bound. 5 Sweet as angels' harps in glory, Was that heavenly voice to me, When I saw my Lord before me Bleed and die to set me free! 6 Saints, attend with holy wonder! Sinners, hear and sing his praise! 'Tis the God that holds the thunder Shows himself the God of grace! Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3
