Author: Berridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #146 (1844) Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) Lyrics: 1 Where must a sinner fly, Who feels his guilty load, And stands condemned to die, Out of the mouth of God? Can any door of hope be found? Not any sure, on nature’s ground. 2 What if he mend his life, And pour out floods of tears, And pray with fervent strife? These pay no past arrears. The law, with unrelenting breath, Declares the wage of sin is death. 3 [Who then shall reconcile Such jarring things as these? Say, how can Justice smile At Mercy on her knees? Or how can Mercy lift her head, Till all the legal debt is paid?] 4 Jesus, thy helping hand Has made the contest cease, Paid off each law demand, And bought the blest release; Stern Justice, satisfied by thee, Bids Mercy bring the news to me. 5 O tidings sweet of grace, To sinners lost and poor, Who humbly seek thy face, And knock at Mercy’s door; Who taste the peace thy blood imparts, And feel the Saviour in their hearts. 6 All hail! we bless thee now! Who bought us with thy blood! Our gracious Shepherd thou, To bring us home to God. On earth we sing thy bleeding love, And long to see thy face above.

No Help for Sinners but in Christ

Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #585 (1844) Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) First Line: Where must a sinner fly Lyrics: 1 Where must a sinner fly, That feels himself undone? On what kind hand rely, Eternal wrath to shun? Can wit or reason help him out, And bring a lasting peace about? 2 Reason no help can give, But leaves him in distress; Nor can he be reprieved By works of righteousness; The law as loud as thunder cries, “The soul that sins against me, dies.” 3 [Should creatures all agree, To give him settled rest, They cannot set him free, Nor cheer his troubled breast; No human arm his case can reach, Nor men, nor angels heal the breach.] 4 Salvation is of God; Jehovah is his name; The Saviour shed his blood; The Lord of Life was slain; And by his own atoning blood, He made a precious way to God. 5 Here sinners may draw near, With all their sin and guilt; Nor death nor danger fear, Since Jesus’ blood was spilt; A door of hope is opened wide, In Jesus’ bleeding hands and side.
