Only a Sinner

Author: James M. Gray Appears in 100 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 2:8 First Line: Naught have I gotten but what I received Refrain First Line: Only a sinner saved by grace! Lyrics: 1 Naught have I gotten but what I received; Grace hath bestowed it since I have believed; Boasting excluded, pride I abase; I’m only a sinner, saved by grace! Chorus: Only a sinner saved by grace! Only a sinner saved by grace! This is my story, to God be the glory—- I’m only a sinner saved by grace! 2 Once I was foolish, and sin ruled my heart, Causing my footsteps from God to depart; Jesus hath found me, happy my case; I now am a sinner, saved by grace! (Chorus) 3 Tears unavailing, no merit had I; Mercy had saved me, or else I must die; Sin had alarmed me, fearing God’s face; But now I’m a sinner saved by grace! (Chorus) 4 Suffer a sinner whose heart overflows, Loving his Savior to tell what he knows; Once more to tell it would I embrace-- I’m only a sinner saved by grace! (Chorus) Used With Tune: [Naught have I gotten but what I received]

Eternal Light! Eternal Light!

Author: Thomas Binney, 1798-1874 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 87 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 2:18 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Light! Eternal Light! How pure that soul must be, when, placed within thy searching sight, it shrinks not, but with calm delight can live and look on thee. 2 The spirits that surround thy throne may bear the burning bliss; but surely that is theirs alone, since they have never, never known a fallen world like this, 3 O how shall I, whose native sphere is dark, whose mind is dim, before the Ineffable appear, and on my naked spirit bear the uncreated beam? 4 There is a way for man to rise to that sublime abode; an offering and a sacrifice, a Holy Spirit's energies, an Advocate with God: 5 These, these prepare us for the sight of holiness above: the sons of ignorance and night may dwell in the eternal light, through the eternal Love!

Lord, 'Tis Not That I Did Choose Thee

Author: Josiah Conder, 1789-1855 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 77 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 2:8-9 Lyrics: 1 Lord, 'tis not that I did choose Thee; That, I know, could never be; For this heart would still refuse Thee Had Thy grace not chosen me. Thou hast from the sin that stained me Washed and cleansed and set me free And unto this end ordained me, That I ever live to Thee. 2 It was grace in Christ that called me, Taught my darkened heart and mind; Else the world had yet enthralled me, To Thy heav'nly glories blind. Now I worship none above Thee; For Thy grace alone I thirst, Knowing well that, if I love Thee, Thou, O Lord, didst love me first. 3 Praise the God of all creation; Praise the Father's boundless love. Praise the Lamb, our expiation, Priest and King enthroned above. Praise the Spirit of salvation, Him by whom our spirits live. Undivided adoration To the great Jehovah give.
