And Must Thou Perish In Thy Blood?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: And must thou perish in thy blood Lyrics: 1 And must thou perish in thy blood, A wretched soul that knows not God, A child of Satan thou! Thy foes, and fears, and sins prevail; Arrested by the pains of hell, Where is thy refuge now? 2 Caught in the coils of death thou art, All unrenewed and foul thy heart, And filled with guilty fear: See there! the king of fears is come! Prepare to meet thine instant doom, Before thy God appear. 3 Vain are thy tears and late remorse; The tyrant sits on his pale horse, Devourer of mankind; Attended by a ghastly train, Sorrow, astonishment, and pain, And Hell comes close behind. 4 Ready to pierce thy trembling heart, The grisly terror shakes his dart, And Hell expects its prey! Ready a troop of devils stands To take thee from the monster’s hands, And hurry thee away. 5 What hope, or help remains for thee? Poor desperate soul, and can it be That thou shouldst mercy find? Ask Him, who spilt His precious blood, To buy, and bring thee back to God, To ransom all mankind. 6 Call, on the name of Jesus call, Ask if He did not die for all, That all might turn and live? Call on Him in this latest hour; Hell is not readier to devour, Than Jesus to forgive. 7 Sufficient is His grace for thee; Straitened for time He cannot be; Thy dying groan He hears; Jesus is mighty to redeem; A day, a moment’s space with Him Is as a thousand years. 8 Call on Him, and He yet shall save: “Redeem my spirit from the grave, The gulf that yawns beneath; Jesu, reverse my fearful doom, O snatch me from the wrath to come, The everlasting death. 9 “Sprinkle Thy blood upon my heart; One drop, if Thou the grace impart, Removes my guilty load, From every spot of sin set free; Speak all-atoning blood for me, Cry in the ears of God! 10 Father, if now Thou hear’st it cry, Now let it in my heart reply, And show my sins forgiv’n; Thou canst—Thou dost—this moment save: ’Tis finished! I my passport have— Lead on, lead on to Heav’n! Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems (Bristol, England, Felix Farley, 1749)

O God, Mine Inmost Soul Convert

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 88 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, mine inmost soul convert, And deeply on my thoughtful heart Eternal things impress; Give me to feel their solemn weight, And save me ere it be too late; Wake me to righteousness. 2. Before me place in dread array The pomp of that tremendous day, When Thou with clouds shalt come To judge the nations at Thy bar; And tell me, Lord, shall I be there To meet a joyful doom? 3. Be this my one great business here, With serious industry and fear Eternal bliss to ensure; Thine utmost counsel to fulfill, And suffer all Thy righteous will, And to the end endure. 4. Then, Savior, then my soul receive, Transported from the vale, to live And reign with Thee above, Where faith is sweetly lost in sight, And hope in full, supreme delight, And everlasting love.

O could I speak the matchless worth

Author: Samuel Medley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 743 hymnals Lyrics: O could I speak the matchless worth, O could I sound the glories forth Which in my Savior shine, I'd soar, and touch the heavenly strings, And vie with Gabriel while he sings In notes almost divine. I'd sing the characters he bears, And all the forms of love he wears, Exalted on his throne: In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all his glories known. O the delightful day will come When my dear Lord will bring me home, And I shall see his face; Then with my Savior, Brother, Friend, A blest eternity I'll spend, Triumphant in his grace.

Poor Weary heart, Why Sad and Lone?

Author: Emmeline G. Thiselton Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Poor weary heart, why sad and lone Lyrics: 1 Poor weary heart, why sad and lone When there is waiting for thee One Who would be All to thee? He knows thy cares, thy doubts and fears, He listens to thy sighs, and hears In deepest sympathy. 2 Oh! Restless, thirsty, hungering one, When God’s own well-belovèd Son Came down to Calvary, He died to save thee from all sin, That thou might’st joy and rest in Him, For constant victory. 3 Wilt thou not yield Him all thy heart? The holding back of any part Will leave thee weary still. He sacrificed His All for thee Thine All it is His wish to be: Is He to have His Will? 4 Oh! Crown Him King this very day, Let this great Saviour have His Way And be thine All in All. Then strong in Him, go forth to prove God’s own unutterable Love Is thine, wahate’er befall.

O Deus De Santidade E Amor

Author: Daniel Borges Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Deus de santidade e amor, Fidelidade me ensinou. Eu era um pecador, Mas Deus veio me consolar, Ao Seu lado vou caminhar… Até ao céu chegar. 2 Oh Abençoou me Jesus! Com Sua Graça e Sua Luz; Sua vida Ele doou, Um pecador Ele salvou, Não só livre para louvar, Mas como herdeiro andar. 3 Sim meu Jesus morreu na cruz, E ao Senhor obedeceu, Nossa grandiosa Luz, Pra resgatar o barro Seu. Grande sinal do Seu amor; Vir pelo pecador. 4 Os meus irmãos eu vou rever, No celestial e lindo Lar, Coroado vou ser, Há tempo estou a almejar, Jesus vem me recompensar… É necessário crer!

Jehovah from His Throne on High

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jehovah from His throne on high Looks down with clear and searching eye On all that dwell below; And He that fashioned heart and mind Looks ever down on all mankind, The works of men to know. 2. Not human strength nor mighty hosts, Not charging steeds or warlike boasts Can save from overthrow; But God will save from death and shame All those who fear and trust His name, And they no want shall know. 3. Our hope is on Jehovah stayed, In Him our hearts are joyful made, Our help and shield is He; Our trust is in His holy name, Thy mercy, Lord, in faith we claim, As we have hoped in Thee.
