Lord, didst Thou die, but not for me?

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #138 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, didst thou die, but not for me? Am I forbid to trust thy blood? Hast Thou not pardon, rich and free? And grace, an overwhelming flood? 2 Presumptuous thought! to fix the bound-- To limit mercy's sovereign reign: What other happy souls have found, I'll seek; nor shall I seek in vain. 3 I own my guilt; my sins confess; Can men or devils make them more? Of crimes, already numberless, Vain the attempt to swell the score. 4 Were the black list before my sight, While I remember Thou hast died, 'Twould only urge my speedier flight To seek salvation at Thy side. 5 Low at Thy feet I'll cast me down, To Thee reveal my guilt and fear; And, if Thou spurn me from Thy throne-- I'll be the first who perished there.

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #303 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, didst thou die, but not for me? Am I forbid to trust thy blood? Hast thou not pardons, rich and free?

Robert Cruttenden

1691 - 1764 Person Name: Cruttenden Author of "Lord, didst thou die, but not for me?" in A New Selection of Seven Hundred Evangelical Hymns ... intended as a Supplement to Dr. Watts's Psalms and Tunes Cruttenden, Robert, born cir. 1691, died cir. 1764. He was educated for the ministry among the Dissenters, and when a young man frequently preached for his uncle, the Rev. Mr. Bragg. But finding that he did not really believe in the Evangelical doctrines, he gave up the ministry, and betook himself to trade, in which for a number of years he was successful. In his 52nd year, having retired from business, he was living near to Whitefield's Tabernacle, when, his attention being excited by what he heard concerning the preaching there, a strong impulse seized him to go and hear for himself. The result was his conversion through the ministry of John Cennick. Twelve months later he joined a Congregational Church, of which he continued a member until his death, about 20 years subsequently. The narrative of his Experience, as read to this Church on his application for membership, was published in 1744, with a preface by Whitefield, and republished in 1790, with the addition of a letter from Mr. Cruttenden to Mr. Cennick. To this narrative his Psalms & Hymns, 17 in all, were appended. The full title of the Experience is too quaint to be omitted. It is:— "Sovereign Efficacious Grace displayed in the awakening and converting a Rational, Learned, Aged sinner, exemplified in the Experience of Robert Cruttenden, Esq., as delivered by himself to the Congregational Church, then meeting in Lime Street, near Leadenhall Market, 1743, in order to be admitted into their society. Published, prefaced and recommended by the late Rev. George Whitefield, 1744, as an extraordinary effect of the Divine Spirit. To which is prefixed a Letter from Mr. Cruttenden to Mr. Cennick, 1742. Also several Psalms, Hymns, &c., composed by him. Now particularly addressed to all rational Christians for their perusal. Lon¬don, printed and sold by T. Wilkins, Aldermanbury, MDCCXC." From his Psalms & Hymns in the Experience the following are still in common use:— 1. And is it yet, dear Lord, a doubt? Desiring to love God. 2. Did Jesus die, but not for me? Pardon through Jesus. 3. I own my guilt, my sins confess. Lent. 4. Let others boast their ancient line. Adoption. 5. Rise, Sun of glory, shine reveal'd. Happiness desired. 6. 'Tis false, thou vile accuser, go. Divine Mercy. 7. What adverse powers we feel within. Sin and Holiness. 8. What jarring natures dwell within. Sin and Holiness. This is part of No. 7. Cruttenden's hymns are full of Christian experience: some, as "Let others boast their ancient line," have a good deal of spirit, and the versification is usually smooth and flowing. [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
