How Blest Are They Whose Guilt Is Gone
Author: Joseph Hart Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How blest are they whose guilt is gone,
Whose sins are washed away with blood,
Whose hope is fixed on Christ alone,
Whom Christ has reconciled to God.
2. Blest are the ones to whom the Lord
Iniquity will not impute,
Who, leaning on the Savior's word,
Of faith enjoy the peaceful fruit.
3. Though trav’ling through this vale of tears,
They many sore temptations meet;
The Holy Ghost this witness bears:
They stand in Jesus still complete.
4. This pearl of price no works can claim;
They find how rich this is indeed;
This pure, white stone contains a name
Which none but who receives can read.
5. This precious gift, this bond of love
The Lord oft gives his people here,
But what we all shall be above
Does not, my dear friends, yet appear.
6. Yet this we safely may may believe,
’Tis what no words will e’er express,
What saints themselves cannot conceive,
And brightest angels only guess. Topics: Lent Penitential Psalms Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 Used With Tune: PARTRIDGE
How Blest Are They Whose Guilt Is Gone
Unbounded Spirit, Breath of God
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Unbounded Spirit, breath of God,
refreshing water, cleansing flame,
we give allegiance, through your call,
to Christ, and to no other name.
2 Receive and open for review
the work we do, the word we preach,
and school us, as we teach and learn,
in careful thought and truthful speech.
3 Uncover all the hopeless ways
we run, resist, rebel, or hide.
Unwrap with love and bathe in light
our pain, our sadness, and our pride.
4 Assemble, leaven, mix, and knead
our clashing norms, opposing views
and bake a loaf of joy and peace
that hungry hearts will not refuse.
5 Inscribe on every growing skill,
on every action, every vow,
the living name of Jesus Christ,
beginning here, beginning now. Topics: Response; Holy Spirit; Light; Teaching Scripture: Psalm 139:7 Used With Tune: PARTRIDGE
Unbounded Spirit, Breath of God
