Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness

Author: J. Wesley, 1703-1791; Count N. L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760 Appears in 507 hymnals Topics: Christ Died for me Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress; 'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed, With joy shall I lift up my head. 2 Bold shall I stand in Thy great day, For who aught to my charge shall lay? Fully absolved through these I am, From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 3 The holy, meek, unspotted Lamb, Who from the Father's bosom came, Who died for me, even me, to atone, Now for my Lord and God I own. 4 Lord, I believe Thy precious blood, Which, at the mercy-seat of God, For ever doth for sinners plead, For me, even for my soul, was shed. 5 Lord, I believe, were sinners more Than sands upon the ocean shore, Thou hast for all a ransom paid, For all a full atonement made. 6 When from the dust of death I rise To claim my mansion in the skies, Even then, this shall be all my plea, Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 84 hymnals Topics: Watchman, Tell Me Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell me, does the morning Of fair Zion's glory dawn? Have the signs that mark its coming, Yet upon thy pathway shone? Pilgrim, yes! arise, look round thee; Light is breaking in the skies; Gird thy bridal robes around thee; Morning dawns, arise, arise! 2 Watchman, see, the light is beaming Brighter still upon the way; Signs through all the earth are gleaming, Omens of the coming day, When the jubal trumpet sounding, Shall awake from earth and sea, And the saints of God now sleeping, Clad in immortality. 3 Watchman, hail the light ascending Of the grand Sabbatic year; All with voices loud proclaiming That the kingdom's very near; Pilgrim, yes, I see just yonder Canaan's glorious heights arise, Salem too appears in grandeur, Towering 'neath its sunlit skies. 4 Watchman, in the golden city, Seated on his jasper throne, Zion's King, enthoned in beauty, Reigns in peace from zone to zone; There on sunlit hills and mountains, Golden beams serenely glow; Purling streams and crystal fountains, On whose banks sweet flow'rets blow. 5 Watchman, see, the land is nearing, With its vernal fruits and flowers, On just yonder, oh, how cheering, Bloom for ever Eden's bowers! Hark! the choral strains are ringing, Wafted on the balmy air; See the millions, hear them singing, Soon the pilgrim will be there.

Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Thro' cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me! Scripture: Luke 24:29 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Alas! and did my Savior bleed?

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 2,434 hymnals Topics: Christ Died for me Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such an one as I? 2 Was it for sins that I have done, He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do. Amen. Used With Tune: REMEMBER ME

Author: Mrs. Dane Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 263 hymnals Topics: Oh, Sing to Me of Heaven Lyrics: 1 Oh, sing to me of heaven, When I am called to die! Sing songs of holy ecstasy, To waft my soul on high! 2 When cold and sluggish drops Roll off my marble brow, Burst forth in strains of joyfulness, Let heaven begin below! 3 When the last moment comes, Oh, watch my dying face, And catch the bright, seraphic gleam Which o'er each feature plays. 4 Then, to my ravished ears, Let one sweet song be given-- Let music charm me last on earth, And greet me first in heaven. 5 Then close my sightless eyes, And lay me down to rest, And clasp my pale and icy hands Upon my lifeless breast. 6 Then round my senseless clay Assemble those I love, And sing of heaven, delightful heaven, My glorious home above.
