My dear Redeemer and my Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 574 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:21-22 Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer and my Lord, I read my duty in thy Word; But in thy life the law appears Drawn out in living characters. 2 Such was thy truth, and such thy zeal, Such def'rence to thy Father's will, Such love, and meekness so divine, I would transcribe and make them mine. 3 Cold mountains and the midnight air Witnessed the fervor of thy prayer; The desert thy temptations knew, Thy conflict and thy vict'ry too. 4 Be thou my pattern; make me bear More of thy gracious image here: Then God the Judge shall own my name Amongst the foll'wers of the Lamb.

Mark how the Lamb of God, self-offering

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9 Lyrics: 1 Mark how the Lamb of God, self-offering, our human sinfulness takes on there in the waters of the Jordan, as Jesus is baptized by John. Hear how the voice from heaven is saying, 'Lo, this is my belovèd Son.' See how in dovelike form the Spirit descends on God's Anointed One. 2 From this assurance of God's favour Christ goes into the wilderness, there to endure a time of testing, preparing him to teach and bless. So we, by water and the Spirit baptized into Christ's ministry, are often led to paths of service through mazes of adversity. 3 Grant us, O God, the strength and courage to live the faith our lips declare; bless us in our baptismal calling; Christ's royal priesthood help us share. Turn us from every false allegiance, that we may trust in Christ alone: make of us now a chosen people transformed by love to be your own.

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned upon the Savior's brow

Author: Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 903 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:6-7 Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Saviour's brow; His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o'erflow. 2 No mortal can with him compare, Among the sons of men; Fairer is he than all the fair That fill the heavenly train. 3 He saw me plunged in deep distress, He flew to my relief; For me he bore the shameful cross, And carried all my grief. 4 To him I owe my life and breath, And all the joys I have; He makes me triumph over death, He saves me from the grave. 5 To heaven, the place of his abode, He brings my weary feet; Shows me the glories of my God, And makes my joy complete. 6 Since from his bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be thine.
