Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 23 hymnals Used With Tune: ST. MARY

Author: I. Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,306 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creatures' sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness! And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away: 'Tis all that I can do.

O God of truth, whose living word

Author: Thomas Hughes, 1822-1896 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of truth, whose living word upholds whate’er hath breath, look down on thy creation, Lord, enslaved by sin and death. 2 Set up thy standard, Lord, that we, who claim a heavenly birth, may march with thee to smite the lies that vex thy groaning earth. 3 Ah, would we join that blest array, and follow in the might of him, the Faithful and the True, in raiment clean and white? 4 We fight for truth? We fight for God? Poor slaves of lies and sin! He who would fight for thee on earth must first be true within. 5 Then, God of truth, for whom we long, thou who wilt hear our prayer, do thine own battle in our hearts, and slay the falsehood there. 6 Yea, come! Then, tried as in the fire, from every lie set free, thy perfect truth shall dwell in us, and we shall live in thee. Topics: General Hymns Christian Warfare Used With Tune: ST MARY

How few receive with cordial faith

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How few receive with cordial faith the tidings which we bring? How few have seen the arm reveal'd of heav’n’s eternal King? 2 The Saviour comes! no outward pomp bespeaks his presence nigh; no earthly beauty shines in him to draw the carnal eye. 3 Fair as a beauteous tender flow’r amidst the desert grows, so slighted by a rebel race the heav’nly Saviour rose. 4 Rejected and despis'd of men, behold a man of woe! Grief was his close companion still through all his life below. 5 Yet all the griefs he felt were ours, ours were the woes he bore: pangs, not his own, his spotless soul with bitter anguish tore. 6 We held him as condemn'd by Heav’n, an outcast from his God, while for our sins he groan'd, he bled, beneath his Father’s rod. 7 His sacred blood hath wash'd our souls from sin’s polluted stain; his stripes es have heal'd us, and his death reviv'd our souls again. 8 We all, like sheep, had gone astray in ruin’s fatal road: on him were our transgressions laid; he bore the mighty load. 9 Wrong'd and oppress'd how meekly he in patient silence stood! Mute, as the peaceful harmless lamb, when brought to shed its blood. 10 Who can his generation tell? from prison see him led! With impious show of law condemn'd, and number'd with the dead. 11 ’Midst sinners low in dust he lay; the rich a grave supply'd: unspotted was his blameless life; unstain'd by sin he dy'd.

Behold the Saviour of mankind

Author: S. Wesley, Sr., 1662-1735 Appears in 387 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the Saviour of mankind Nailed to the shameful tree! How vast the love that Him inclined To bleed and die for thee! 2 Hark, how He groans! while nature shakes, And earth's strong pillars bend; The temple's veil in sunder breaks, The solid marbles rend. 3 'Tis done! the precious ransom's paid; "Receive my soul," He cries! See where He bows His sacred head; He bows His head, and dies. 4 But soon He'll break death's envious chain, And in full glory shine; O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love, like Thine?

My God, my God, wherefore is it

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 My God, my God, wherefore is it thou hast forsaken me? Why from my help so far, and from my cry of agony? 2 All day, my God to thee I cry, yet am not heard by thee; and in the season of the night I cannot silent be. 3 But thou art holy, thou that dost inhabit Israel's praise. 4 Our Fathers hoped in thee, they hoped, and thou didst them release. 5 When unto thee they sent their cry, to them deliverance came: because they put their trust in thee, they were not put to shame. 6 But as for me, a worm I am, and as no man am prized; reproach of men I am, and by the people am despised. 7 All that me see laugh me to scorn; shoot out the lip do they; they nod and shake their heads at me, and, mocking, thus do say. 8 He trusted in the Lord, that he would free him by his might; let him deliver him, since he had in him such delight. 9 But thou art he out of the womb that didst me safely take, when I was on my mother's breasts, thou me to trust didst make. 10 And I was cast upon thy care, even from my birth till now; and from my mother's womb my God and my support art thou. 11 Be not far off, for trouble's near, and none to help is found. 12 Bulls many compass me, strong bulls or Bashan me surround. 13 Their mouths they opened wide on me, upon me gape did they, like to a lion ravening and roaring for his prey. 14 Like water I'm poured out, my bones all out of joint do part: amidst my bowels, as the saw, so melting is my heart. 15 My strength is like a potsherd dried; my tongue it cleaveth fast unto my jaws; and to the dust of death thou brought me hast. 16 For dogs have compassed me about the wicked, that did meet in their assembly, me enclosed; they pierced my hands and feet. 17 I all my bones may tell; they do upon my look and stare. 18 Upon my vesture lots they cast, my clothes among them share. 19 But be not far, O Lord, my strength; haste to give help to me. 20 From sword my soul, from power of dogs my darling, set thou free. 21 From the devouring lion's mouth my life do thou defend; to save from horns of unicorns thou dost me answer send.
