Beautiful Savior
Author: Joseph A. Seiss Meter: 5.5.7.5.5.8 Appears in 141 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 64:6 First Line: Beautiful Savior! King of creation Lyrics: 1 Beautiful Savior! King of creation!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Truly I’d love thee, truly I’d serve thee,
Light of my soul, my joy, my crown.
2 Fair are the meadows, fair are the woodlands,
robed in flowers of blooming spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer;
he makes our sorrowing spirit sing.
3 Fair is the sunshine, fair is the moonlight,
bright the sparkling stars on high;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
than all the angels in the sky.

Beautiful Savior
Before Jehovah's awful throne
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 969 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 64:8 Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone;
He can create, and he destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when like wandering sheep we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again.
3 We are his people, we his care;
Our souls and all our mortal frame;
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to thy name?
4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs;
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide as the world is thy command;
Vast as eternity thy love;
Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move. Topics: General Praise; The Sovereign God
Before Jehovah's awful throne
By Grace I'm Saved
Author: Christian Ludwig Scheidt, 1709-61 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 64:6 First Line: By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless Lyrics: 1 By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless;
My soul, believe and doubt it not.
Why stagger at this word of promise?
Has Scripture ever falsehood taught?
No! Then this word must true remain;
By grace you too will life obtain.
2 By grace! None dare lay claim to merit;
Our works and conduct have no worth.
God in His love sent our Redeemer,
Christ Jesus, to this sinful earth;
His death did for our sins atone,
And we are saved by grace alone.
3 By grace God's Son, our only Savior,
Came down to earth to bear our sin.
Was it because of your own merit
That Jesus died your soul to win?
No, it was grace, and grace alone,
That brought Him from His heav'nly throne.
4 By grace! This ground of faith is certain;
So long as God is true, it stands.
What saints have penned by inspiration,
What in His Word our God commands,
Our faith in what our God has done
Depends on grace--grace through His Son.
5 By grace to timid hearts that tremble,
In tribulation's furnace tried,
By grace, in spite of fear and trouble,
The Father's heart is open wide.
Where could I help and strength secure
If grace were not my anchor sure?
6 By grace! On this I'll rest when dying;
In Jesus' promise I rejoice;
For though I know my heart's condition,
I also know my Savior's voice.
My heart is glad, all grief has flown
Since I am saved by grace alone.

Break, Day of God, O Break!
Author: Henry Burton (1840 - 1930) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 64:1-9 Lyrics: 1 Break, day of God, O break!
The night has lingered long,
our hearts with sighing wake;
we weep for sin and wrong:
O bright and Morning star, draw near;
O Sun of Righteousness, appear.
2 Break, day of God, O break!
The earth with strife is worn;
the hills with thunder shake,
hearts of the people mourn:
break, day of God, sweet day of peace,
and bid the shout of warriors cease.
3 Break, day of God, O break,
like to the days above!
Let purity awake,
and faith, and hope, and love.
But lo! We see the brightening sky;
the golden morn is drawing nigh. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: CHRISTCHURCH

Behold What Love, That God Should Give
Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 64:4 Lyrics: 1 Behold what love, that God should give
To us His only Son,
That all who trust in Him should live
While endless ages run.
2 Behold what love, that God should call
The sons of men His own,
Joint heirs with Christ, the Lord of all,
To an eternal throne!
3 Behold what things He hath prepared
For those who love Him here;
No eye hath seen, no ear hath shared
The glories of that sphere.
4 Thy love, O God, transcends all thought,
How faint and weak is mine!
Help me to love Thee as I ought,
O give me love like Thine!
Amen. Topics: Church Year Trinity Season; Trinity, Eighth Sunday; God's Love; Prayer for Love Used With Tune: ST. PAUL
