Hymn 14

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 133 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:33 First Line: Who shall the Lord's elect condemn? Lyrics: Who shall the Lord's elect condemn? 'Tis God that justifies their souls; And mercy, like a mighty stream, O'er all their sins divinely rolls. Who shall adjudge the saints to hell? 'Tis Christ that suffered in their stead; And, the salvation to fulfil, Behold him rising from the dead! He lives! he lives and sits above, For ever interceding there: Who shall divide us from his love? Or what should tempt us to despair? Shall persecution, or distress, Famine, or sword, or nakedness? He that hath loved us bears us through, And makes us more than conquerors too. Faith hath an overcoming power; It triumphs in the dying hour: Christ is our life, our joy, our hope, Nor can we sink with such a prop. Not all that men on earth can do, Nor powers on high, nor powers below, Shall cause his mercy to remove, Or wean our hearts from Christ our love.

Romans 8:31-39: Let Christian faith and hope dispel

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:31-39 First Line: Let Christian faith and hope dispel Lyrics: Let Christian faith and hope dispel the fears of guilt and woe; The Lord Almighty is our friend, and who can prove a foe? He who his Son, most dear and loved, gave up for us to die. Shall he not all things freely give that goodness can supply? Behold the best, the greatest gift, of everlasting love! Behold the pledge of peace below, and perfect bliss above! Where is the judge who can condemn, since God hath justified? Who shall charge those with guilt or crime for whom the Saviour died? 142 The Saviour died, but rose again triumphant from the grave; And pleads our cause at God’s right hand, omnipotent to save. Who then can e’er divide us more from Jesus and his love, Or break the sacred chain that binds the earth to heav’n above? Let troubles rise, and terrors frown, and days of darkness fall; Through him all dangers we’ll defy, and more than conquer all. Nor death nor life, nor earth nor hell, nor time’s destroying sway, Can e’er efface us from his heart, or make his love decay. Each future period that will bless, as it has bless’d the past; He loved us from the first of time, he loves us to the last.

Clowney Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 92 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:38-39 Lyrics: 1 Loved with everlasting love, drawn by grace that love to know, Spirit went from Christ above, thou dost witness it is so. O this full and precious peace from his presence all divine; in a love that cannot cease, I am his and he is mine; in a love that cannot cease, I am his and he is mine. 2 Heav'n above is deeper blue, earth around is sweeter green, that which glows in every hue Christ-less eyes have never seen. Birds in song his glories show, flow'rs with richer beauties shine since I know, as now I know, I am his and he is mine; since I know, as now I know, I am his and he is mine. 3 Taste the goodness of the Lord: welcomed home to his embrace, all his love as blood out-poured seals the pardon of his grace. Can I doubt his love for me, when I trace that love's design? By the cross of Calvary I am his and he is mine. By the cross of Calvary I am his and he is mine. 4 His forever, only his - who the Lord and me shall part? Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart. Heav'n and earth may fade and flee, first-born light in gloom decline, but while God and I shall be, I am his and he is mine; but while God and I shall be, I am his and he is mine.
