Salvation by Christ

Author: Adams Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Blessed Jesus! thee we sing Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus! thee we sing; Thou of life, the eternal spring; Thou art worthy, thou alone; Thou the Rock and Corner-Stone. 2 ’Tis from thee salvation flows; This the ransomed sinner knows. Thou, O Christ, art all his plea, When he sees his poverty. 3 None shall glory in thy sight Of their labours e’er so bright; All who are taught by thee shall know, Living faith from God must flow. 4 Grace shall be our lovely theme; Free redemption, glorious scheme! This will be the song above: Praise to Jesus’ bleeding love. Topics: Rédemption

John Adams

1751 - 1835 Person Name: Adams Author of "Blessed Jesus, thee we sing" in The Baptist Hymn Book Adams, John. (Northampton, England 1751-May 15, 1835, Northampton). Baptist. Apprenticed to an iron monger. At age eighteen, united with Baptist church in Northampton of which John Collett Ryland was pastor. Later excluded from the church because of a change of view. After retiring from business, he moved his residence several times bur subsequently returned to Northampton, where he died. His first hymns were published in the Gospel Magazine in 1776. One hymn ascribed to "S. P. R." in Service of Song but written by Adams begins: Jesus is our great salvation, Worthy of our best esteem! This hymn appearing also in Rippon's Selection of 1813 concerns salvation by election as does one other hymn: Sons we are through God's election. Many of Adams' hymns remain in manuscript. -Deborah Carlton Loftis, DNAH Archives
