Chief of Sinners Though I Be

As the branch is to the vine, I am his, and he is mine. 2 Oh, the height of Jesus' love, Higher than the heav'ns above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting as eternity! Love that found me--wondrous thought-- Found me when I sought him not. 3 Only Jesus can impart Balm to heal the wounded heart, Peace that flows from sin forgiv'n, Joy that lifts the soul to heav'n, Faith and hope to walk with God In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me; All my wants to him are known, All my sorrows are his own. He sustains the hidden life Safe with Him from earthly strife. 5 O my Savior, help afford By your Spirit and your Word! When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die. Topics: Forgiveness; Love; Redeemer Used With Tune: GETHSEMANE

Weary Souls, That Wander Wide

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 119 hymnals First Line: Weary souls, who wander wide Lyrics: 1. Weary souls, who wander wide From the central point of bliss, Turn to Jesus crucified, Fly to those dear wounds of His: Sink into the purple flood; Rise into the life of God. 2. Find in Christ the way of peace, Peace unspeakable, unknown; By His pain He gives you ease, Life by His expiring groan: Rise, exalted by His fall, Find in Christ your all in all. 3. O believe the record true, God to you His Son hath given; Ye may now be happy, too, Find on earth the life of Heaven: Live the life of Heaven above, All the life of glorious love. 4. This the universal bliss, Bliss for every soul designed; God’s primeval promise this, God’s great gift to all mankind: Blest in Christ this moment be, Blest to all eternity!

To Avert from Men God's Wrath

Author: Christian I. Latrobe Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1. To avert from men God’s wrath, Jesus suffered in our stead; By an ignominious death He a full atonement made; And by His most precious blood Brought us, sinners, nigh to God. 2. Hither each afflicted soul May repair, though filled with grief; To the sick, not to the whole, The Physician brings relief; Fear not, therefore, but draw nigh; Christ will all your wants supply. 3. But examine first your case, Whether you be in the faith; Do you long for pard’ning grace? Is your only hope His death? Then, howe’er your soul’s oppressed, Come, you are a worthy guest. 4. He who Jesus’ mercy knows Is from wrath and envy freed. Love unto each other shows That we are His flock indeed; Thus we may in all our ways Show forth our Redeemer’s praise.

Rebels, Who Had Dared to Show

Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rebels, who had dared to show Proud contempt of God Most High, Bound in iron and in woe, Shades of death and darkness night, Humbled low with toil and pain, Fell, and looked for help in vain. 2 To Jehovah then they cried In their trouble and He saved, Threw the prison open wide Where they lay to death enslaved, Bade the gloomy shadows flee, Broke their bonds and set them free. 3 Sons of men, awake to praise God the Lord who reigns above, Gracious in His works and ways, Wondrous in redeeming love; Iron bars He breaks like clay, And the brazen gates give way.

Rock of Ages, shelter me

Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,978 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Rock of ages, shelter me, Let me hide myself in thee; Let the water and the blood, From thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2. Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and thou alone. 3. Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling; Naked, come to thee for dress, Helpless, look to thee for grace, Black, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die. 4. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyestrings break in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of ages, shelter me, Let me hide myself in thee.
