Blest Be the Tie That Binds
Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,286 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 3:28 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the fellowship of kindred minds
is like to that above.
2 Before our Father's throne
we pour our ardent prayers;
our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes,
our mutual burdens bear,
and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear.
4 When we are called to part,
it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
our courage by the way;
while each in expectation lives
and waits to see the day.
6 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
and sin, we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign
through all eternity.

What Wondrous Love Is This
Meter: 12.9.12.12.9 Appears in 252 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 3:13 Lyrics: 1 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,

and when from death I'm free, I'll sing and joyful be,
and through eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on,
and through eternity I'll sing on.

Who the same Lord obey.

Not all the blood of beasts
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 604 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 3:13 Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts,
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain.
2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away--
A sacrifice of nobler name,
And richer blood than they.
3 My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.
4 Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
And sing his bleeding love. Topics: The Christian System Atonement; The Sacrifice

Salvation unto Us Has Come
Author: Paul Speratus, 1484-1551 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 3:1-25 Lyrics: 1 Salvation unto us has come
By God's free grace and favor;
Good works cannot avert our doom,
They help and save us never.
Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone,
Who did for all the world atone;
He is our one Redeemer.
2 What God did in His Law demand
And none to Him could render
Caused wrath and woe on ev'ry hand
For man, the vile offender.
Our flesh has not those pure desires
The spirit of the Law requires,
And lost is our condition.
3 It was a false, misleading dream
That God His Law had given
That sinners could themselves redeem
And by their works gain heaven.
The Law is but a mirror bright
To bring the inbred sin to light
That lurks within our nature.
4 From sin our flesh could not abstain,
Sin held its sway unceasing;
The task was useless and in vain,
Our guilt was e'er increasing.
None can remove sin's poisoned dart
Or purify our guileful heart--
So deep is our corruption.
5 Yet as the law must be fulfilled
Or we must die despairing,
Christ came and has God's anger stilled,
Our human nature sharing.
He has for us the Law obeyed
And thus the Father's vengeance stayed
Which over us impended.
6 Since Christ has full atonement made
And brought to us salvation,
Each Christian therefore may be glad
And build on this foundation.
Your grace alone, dear Lord, I plead,
Your death is now my life indeed,
For You have paid my ransom.
7 Let me not doubt, but truly see
Your Word cannot be broken:
Your call rings out, "Come unto Me!"
No falsehood have You spoken.
Baptized into Your precious name,
My faith cannot be put to shame,
And I shall never perish.
8 The Law reveals the guilt of sin
And makes us conscience-stricken;
But then the Gospel enters in
The sinful soul to quicken.
Come to the cross, trust Christ, and live;
The Law no peace can ever give,
No comfort and no blessing.
9 Faith clings to Jesus' cross alone
And rests in Him unceasing;
And by its fruits true faith is known,
With love and hope increasing.
For faith alone can justify;
Works serve our neighbor and supply
The proof that faith is living.
10 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise
To Father, Son, and Spirit,
The God who saved us by His grace;
All glory to His merit.
O triune God in heav'n above,
You have revealed Your saving love;
Your blessed name we hallow.

in him no pride of birth;
the chosen family God has blessed
now spans the whole wide earth.
2 For God in Christ has made us one
from every land and race;
has reconciled us through his Son
and met us all with grace.
3 It is by grace we are assured
that we belong to him:
the love we share in Christ our Lord,
the Spirit's works within.
4 So brothers, sisters, praise his name
who died to set us free
from sin, division, hate and shame,
from spite and enmity!
5 In Christ there is no east or west--
he breaks all barriers down;
by Christ redeemed, by Christ possessed,
in Christ we live as one.

'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.

For who aught to my charge shall lay
Fully absolved through these I am--
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.

Who from the Father's bosom came,--
Who died for me, e'en me t' atone,--
Now for my Lord and God I own.

Which, at the mercy-seat of God,
For ever doth for sinners plead,
For me, e'en for my soul, was shed.
5 Lord, I believe were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
Thou hadst for all a ransom paid,
For all a full atonement made. Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings; Fullness and Sufficiency of the Atonement
