Blest Be the Tie That Binds
Author: John Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2,273 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.

Not all the blood of beasts
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 602 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 3:13 Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts,

On that dear head of thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.

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.

The wonders of redemption
Christ is alive! Let Christians sing
Author: Brian Arthur Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 3:11-14 Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring;
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
2 Christ is alive! No longer bound
to distant years in Palestine,
but saving, healing, here and now,
and touching every place and time.
3 In every insult, rift and war,
where colour, scorn or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hope has died.
4 Women and men, in age and youth,
can feel the Spirit, hear the call,
and find the way, the life, the truth,
revealed in Jesus, freed for all.
5 Christ is alive, and comes to bring
good news to this and every age,
till earth and sky and ocean ring
with joy, with justice, love, and praise. Topics: Assurance; Atonement; Celebration of Faith; Cross; Evil; Jesus Christ Humanity; Jesus Christ Kingship; Jesus Christ Priesthood and Intercession; Jesus Christ Resurrection; Justice; Resurrection Used With Tune: DUNEDIN

Baptized into Your Name Most Holy
Author: Johann Jacob Rambach, 1693-1735; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 3:26-27 Lyrics: 1 Baptized into Your name most holy,
O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
I claim a place, though weak and lowly,
Among Your saints, Your chosen host.
Buried with Christ and dead to sin,
Your Spirit now shall live within.
2 My loving Father, here You take me
To be henceforth Your child and heir.
My faithful Savior, here You make me
The fruit of all Your sorrows share.
O Holy Spirit, comfort me
When threat'ning clouds around I see.
3 My faithful God, You fail me never;
Your promise surely will endure.
O cast me not away forever
If words and deeds become impure.
Have mercy when I come defiled;
Forgive, lift up, restore Your child.
4 All that I am and love most dearly--
Receive it all, O Lord, from me.
Let me confess my faith sincerely;
Help me Your faithful child to be!
Let nothing that I am or own
Serve any will but Yours alone.

Hymn 43 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 3:13 First Line: Adam, our father and our head Lyrics:
Adam, our father and our head,
Transgressed, and justice doomed us dead;
The fiery law speaks all despair:
There's no reprieve nor pardon there.
But, O unutterable grace
The Son of God takes Adam's place;
Down to our world the Savior flies,
Stretches his arms, and bleeds, and dies.
Justice was pleased to bruise the God,
And pay its wrongs with heav'nly blood:
What unknown racks and pangs he bore!
Then rose; the law could ask no more.
Amazing work! look down, ye skies,
Wonder and gaze with all your eyes;
Ye heav'nly thrones, stoop from above,
And bow to this mysterious love.
Lo! they adore th' incarnate Son,
And sing the glories he hath won;
Sing how he broke our iron chains,
How deep he suiik, how high he reigns!
Triumph and reign, victorious Lord,
By all the flaming hosts adored;
And say, dear Couqueror, say how long
Ere we shall rise to join their song.
Send down a chariot from above,
With fiery wheels, and paved with love
Raise us beyond th' ethereal blue,
To sing and love as angels do.
Hymn 43 Part 1
As Jacob with Travel Was Weary One Day
Meter: 11.11.11.11 with refrain Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 3:13 Refrain First Line: Alleluia to Jesus, who died on the tree Lyrics: 1 As Jacob with travel was weary one day,
at night on a stone for a pillow he lay;
he saw in a vision a ladder so high,
that its foot was on earth and its top in the sky:
Refrain:
Alleluia to Jesus, who died on the tree,
and hath raised up a ladder of mercy for me,
and hath raised up a ladder of mercy for me.
2 This ladder is long, it is strong and well-made,
has stood hundreds of years and is not yet decayed;
many millions have climbed it and reached Sion's hill,
and thousands by faith are climbing it still. [Refrain]
3 Come, let us ascend! All may climb it who will;
for the angels of Jacob are guarding it still;
and remember, each step that by faith we pass o'er,
many prophets and martyrs have trod it before. [Refrain]
4 And when we arrive at the haven of rest,
we shall hear the glad words, "Come up hither, ye blest,
here are regions of light, here are mansions of bliss."
Oh, who would not climb such a ladder as this? [Refrain]

reigning omnipotent in every place:
so come, O King, and our whole being sway;
shine on us with the light of thy pure day.

and all our substance and our strength receive;
comfort us by thy faith and by thy power,
and give us strength in every trying hour.

no harshness hast thou, and no bitterness:
oh, grant to us the grace we find in thee,
that we may dwell in perfect unity.

our faith is built upon thy promise free;
Lord, give us peace, and make us calm and sure,
that in thy strength we evermore endure. Topics: Christ Risen Reign and Priesthood; Assurance; Nurture Used With Tune: TAKE UP THE SONG
