As By One's Sin Fell All Our Kin

Author: Emanuel Cronenwett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 As by one's sin fell all our kin, Conceived and born sin-stained, So by One's grace, who took the place Of all, are all regained, Of all, are all regained. 2 The blood-red tide from Christ's cleft side, Shed for the good of all, Is laver pure to cleanse and cure All lost in Adam's fall, All lost in Adam's fall. 3 Of it are born, though once forlorn, The saints in Him baptized; Its life receive all who believe That Jesus is the Christ, That Jesus is the Christ. 4 His righteousness is crown and dress Of those who own Him Lord, Who, sin-oppressed, find in Him rest And keep His faithful Word, And keep His faithful Word. 5 To God be praise through endless days, In whom we live and move, God--Father, Son and Spirit--One, The Triune God of Love! The Triune God of Love! Amen. Used With Tune: COWPER

If God be for us, God the Lord, Who, who shall be our foe? 2 He who His only Son gave up To death, that we might live, Shall He not all things freely grant, That boundless love can give? 3 Who now His people shall accuse? 'Tis God hath justified; Who now His people shall condemn? The Lamb of God hath died. 4 And He who died hath ris'n again, Triumphant, from the grave; At God's right hand for us He pleads, Omnipotent to save. Used With Tune: ST.

All Mankind Fell in Adam's Fall

Author: Lazarus Spengler; Matthias Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 All mankind fell in Adam's fall, One common sin infects them all; From sire to son the bane descends, And over all the curse impends. 2 Thro' all man's pow'rs corruption creeps And him in dreadful bondage keeps; In guilt he draws his infant breath And reaps its fruits of woe and death. 3 From hearts depraved, to evil prone, Flow tho'ts and deeds of sin alone; God's image lost, the darkened soul Nor seeks nor finds its heav'nly goal. 4 But Christ, the second Adam, came To bear our sin and woe and shame, To be our Life, our Light, our Way, Our only Hope, our only Stay. 5 As by one man all mankind fell And, born in sin, was doomed to hell, So by one Man, who took our place, We all received the gift of grace. 6 We thank Thee, Christ; new life is ours, New light, new hope, new strength, new powers: May grace our every way attend Until we reach our journey's end! Amen. Scripture: Romans 8:12 Used With Tune: WENN WIR IN HÖCHSTEN NÖTEN

Now I have Found the Firm Foundation

Author: Johann A. Rothe Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the firm foundation Which holds mine anchor ever sure; ’Twas laid before the world’s creation In Christ my Savior’s wounds secure; Foundation which unmoved shall stay When heav’n and earth will pass away. 2 It is that mercy never ending Which human wisdom far transcends, Of Him who, loving arms extending, To wretched sinners condescends; Whose heart with pity still doth break Whether we seek Him or forsake. 3 Our ruin God hath not intended, For our salvation He hath yearned; For this His Son to earth descended And then to heav’n again returned; For this so patient evermore He knocketh at our heart’s closed door. 4 O depth of love, to me revealing The sea where my sins disappear! In Christ my wounds find perfect healing, There is no condemnation here; For Jesus’ blood through earth and skies Forever "Mercy! Mercy!" cries. 5 I never will forget this crying; In faith I’ll trust it all my days, And when o’er all my sins I’m sighing, Into the Father’s heart I’ll gaze; For there is always to be found Free mercy without end and bound. 6 Though I be robbed of every pleasure That makes my soul and body glad And be deprived of earthly treasure And be forsaken, lone, and sad, Though my desire for help seem vain, His mercy shall with me remain. 7 Though earthly trials should oppress me And cares from day to day increase; Though earth’s vain things should sore distress me And rob me of my Savior’s peace; Though I be brought down to the dust, Still in His mercy I will trust. 8 When all my deeds I am reviewing, The deeds that I admire the most, I find in all my thought and doing That there is naught whereof to boast. Yet this sweet comfort shall abide-- In mercy I can still confide. 9 Let mercy cause me to be willing To bear my lot and not to fret. While He my restless heart is stilling, May I His mercy not forget! Come weal, come woe, my heart to test, His mercy is my only rest. 10 I’ll stand upon this firm foundation As long as I on earth remain; This shall engage my meditation While I the breath of life retain; And then, when face to face with Thee, I’ll sing of mercy, great and free. Amen. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Used With Tune: O DASS ICH TAUSEND Text Sources: Tr. composite

Oh, Joy of Joys! God so Did Love

Author: Israel Kolmodin, 1643-1709 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.5.6.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Oh, joy of joys! God so did love This world and show compassion, That He sent down from heaven above His Son for our salvation. So deep in sin this world was bound, Had God His Son not given, Our bonds thus riven, No help had e'er been found, However man had striven. 2 This doth our hearts now satisfy, And quiets all our terrors, That Jesus Christ our Lord did die To save us from our errors. O God, Thy love to us is great! Thy mercies are most tender! Our sole defender, None in this earthly state Thee ample praise can render. 3 He who on Jesus Christ doth trust Shall happy be in heaven; The happiness which once was lost through Jesus Christ is given. For God His Son did never send Here for our condemnation: His incarnation Had for its gracious end Our joy and our salvation. 4 But all who turn from Christ away Shall be condemned forever: Their doom is sealed this very day, And death awaits the ever. For since they willfully refused Salvation to inherit Through Jesus' merit, They stand of sin accused, And so must suffer for it. 5 All who are faithful unto death Are given life forever, The life which is the fruit of faith In Jesus Christ our Saviour. Give us, O Lord, the faith to come And ever cling to Jesus! When death releases Our souls, oh, take them home, To dwell in heavenly places. Used With Tune: ICH RUF ZU DIR, HERR JESU CHRIST

Paulsen Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 By faith we please the Lord on high, And with His children gather; By faith we unto Him draw nigh And call Him, Abba, Father; By faith we count the world but loss That we may flock around the cross And fight His holy battles. 2 By faith we put His armor on, The gospel of salvation, And watch the foe of Christ, His Son, With prayer and supplication, And when the trumpet sounds the call, With faith we hasten, one and all, To meet the hordes of darkness. 3 In Christ, our Lord, we firmly stand, Despite their onrush stunning, And with the Spirit's sword in hand We foil their craft and cunning; The shield of faith protects our hearts And quenches all their fiery darts, They go to grim disaster. 4 O Lord, Thy Holy Spirit send, Our hearts with zeal inspiring, That we may fight until the end, With strength and faith untiring; Oh, may at last around Thy throne We hail Thee Lord and King alone, Of faith the blessed Giver.

For sinners condemned, so His holy Word saith, Can plead nothing else for salvation. For grace, then, give thanks everlasting. Amen. Used With Tune: HVAR ÄR DU?
