Jesus, the word of mercy give
Lord, didst thou die, but not for me?
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Lord, didst thou die, but not for me?
Am I forbid to trust thy blood?
Hast thou not pardons, 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 perish'd there.
Lord, didst thou die, but not for me?
How sad our state by nature is!
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 290 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 How sad our state by nature is!
Our sin how deep it stains!
And satan binds our captive minds
Fast in his slavish chains.
2 But there's a voice of sovereign grace
Sounds from the sacred word,
"Ho, ye despairing sinners, come,
And trust upon the Lord."
3 My soul obeys th'almighty call,
And runs to this relief;
I would believe thy promise, Lord,
Oh! help my unbelief.
4 To the dear fountain of thy blood,
Incarnate God, I fly,
Here let me wash my spotted soul,
From crimes of deepest dye.
5 Stretch out thine arm, victorious King,
My reigning sins subdue,
Drive the old dragon from his seat,
With all his hellish crew.
6 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm,
On thy kind arms I fall:
Be thou my strength and righteousness,
My Jesus and my all.
How sad our state by nature is!
Transcendent love

There is Salvation in none other than Jesus
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him First Line: In vain would boasting reason find Lyrics: 1 In vain would boating reason find
The path to happiness and God;
Her weak directions leave the mind
Bewildered in a doubtful road.
2 Jesus, thy words alone impart
Eternal life; on these I live;
Diviner comforts cheer my heart
Than all the pow'rs of nature give.
3 Here let my constant feet abide;
Thou art the true, the living way:
Let thy good Spirit be my guide
To the bright realms of endless day.
4 The various forms that men devise
To shake my faith with treach'rous art,
I scorn as vanity and lies,
And bind thy gospel to my heart.
There is Salvation in none other than Jesus
By Grace we are saved
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him First Line: Self rightous souls on works rely Lyrics: 1 Self righteous souls on works rely,
And boast their mortal dignity;
But if I lisp a song of praise,
Grace is the note my soul shall raise.
2 'Twas grace that quicken'd me when dead,
And grace my soul to Jesus led;
Grace brings me pardon for my sin--
'Tis grace subdues my lusts within.
3 'Tis grace that sweetens ev'ry cross,
'Tis grace supports in ev'ry loss;
In Jesus' grace my soul is strong:--
Grace is my hope and Christ my song.
4 'Tis grace defends when danger's near;
And 'tis by grace I persevere;
'Tis grace constrains my soul to love--
Free grace is all they sing above.
5 Thus 'tis alone of grace I boast,
And 'tis in grace alone I trust;
For all that's past, grace is my theme,
For what's to come, 'tis still the same.
6 Thro' endless years, of grace I'll sing,
Adore and bless my heavenly King;
I'll cast my crown before his throne,
And shout free grace to him alone.
By Grace we are saved
The loving Kindness of the Lord
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,055 hymnals Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him First Line: Awake, my soul, in joyful lays Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,
And sing thy great Redeemer's praise;
He justly claims a song from me,
His loving kindness, O how free!
2 He saw me ruin'd in the fall,
Yet lov'd me notwithstanding all.
He sav'd me from my low estate,
His loving kindness, O how great!
3 Though num'rous hosts of mighty foes,
Though earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along,
His loving kindness, O how strong!
4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gather'd thick and thunder'd loud,
He near my soul has always stood,
His loving kindness, O how good!
5 Often I feel my sinful heart
Prone from my Jesus to depart;
But though I have him oft forgot,
His loving kindness changes not.
6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale,
Soon all my mortal powers must fail;
O! may my last expiring breath,
His loving kindness sing in death.
7 Then let me mount and soar away
To the bright world of endless day;
And sing, with rapture and surprise,
His loving kindness in the skies. Scripture: Psalm 63:7
The loving Kindness of the Lord
My hope, my all, my Savior thou
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 137 hymnals Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him Lyrics: 1 My hope, my all, my Savior thou,
To thee, lo! now my soul I bow.
I feel the bliss thy wounds impart,
I find thee, Savior, in my heart.
2 Be thou my strength, be thou my way,
Protect me through my life's short day;
In all my acts may wisdom guide,
And keep me, Savior, near thy side.
3 Correct, reprove, and comfort me;
As I have need my Savior be:
And if I would from thee depart,
Then clasp me, Savior, to thy heart.
4 In fierce temptations darkest hour,
Save me from sin and Satan's power;
Tear every idol from thy throne,
And reign, my Savior--reign alone.
5 My suffering time shall soon be o'er,
Then shall I sigh and weep no more;
My ransom'd soul shall soar away,
To sing thy praise in endless day.
My hope, my all, my Savior thou
Holiness, Justice and Mercy united
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Christ Salvation Through Him First Line: Infinite grace! and can it be Lyrics: 1 Infinite grace! and can it be
That heaven's Supreme should stoop so low!
To visit one so vile as I,
One who has been his bitt'rest foe!
2 Can holiness and wisdom join,
With truth, with justice, and with grace,
To make eternal blessings mine,
And sin, with all its guilt erase?
3 O love! beyond conception great,
That form'd the vast, stupendous plan!
Where all divine perfections meet
To reconcile rebellious man!
4 There wisdom shines in fullest blaze,
And justice all her rights maintains!
Astonish'd angels stoop to gaze,
While mercy o'er the guilty reigns.
5 Yes, mercy reigns, and justice too--
In Christ harmoniously they meet:
He paid to justice all her due,
And now he fills the mercy-seat.
6 Such are the wonders of our God,
And such th'amazing depths of grace,
To save from wrath's vindictive rod,
The sons of Adam's fallen race.
7 With grateful songs, then let our souls
Surround our gracious Father's throne;
And all between the distant poles
His truth and mercy ever own. Scripture: Psalm 85:10
Holiness, Justice and Mercy united
