The Incarnation and Sacrifice of Christ

Appears in 40 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 40:6-9 First Line: Thus saith the Lord your work is vain Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the Lord "your work is vain "Give your burnt off'rings o'er; "In dying goats, and bullocks slain "My soul delights no more." 1 Then spake the Saviour, "Lo, I'm here, "My God to do thy will; "Whate'er thy sacred books declare, "Thy servant shall fulfil. 3 "Thy law is ever in my sight, "I keep it near my heart; "Mine ears are open'd with delight "To what thy lips impart." 4 And see the blest Redeemer comes! Th' eternal son appears! And at th' appointed time assumes, The body God prepares. 5 Much he reveal'd his father's grace, And much his truth he shew'd, And preach'd the way of righteousness, Where great assemblies stood. 6 His father's honor touch'd his heart, He pitied sinners cries, And, to fulfil a Saviour's part, Was made a sacrifice. Pause. 7 No blood of beasts on altars shed Could wash the conscience clean, But the rich sacrifice he paid, Atones for all our sin. 8 Then was the great salvation spread, And satan's kingdom shook; Thus by the woman's promis'd seed The serpent's head was broke.

Thy Tender Mercies, O My Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 40 Lyrics: 1. Thy tender mercies, O my Lord, Withhold not, I implore; But let Thy kindness and Thy truth Preserve me evermore. For countless ills have compassed me, My sinful deeds arise; Yea, they have overtaken me; I dare not raise my eyes. 2. My sins are more than I can count, My heart has failed for grief; Be pleased, O Lord, to rescue me, O haste to my relief. Be those who seek to hurt my soul Dismayed and put to flight, And they themselves be put to shame Who in my woe delight. 3. Let all who seek Thee now rejoice, Yea, glad in Thee abide, And, loving Thy salvation, say, The Lord be magnified. My lowly state and bitter need The Lord has not forgot; Thou art my Savior and my help, Come, Lord, and tarry not.
