Lord, didst thou die, but not for me?

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 Lord, didst thou die, but not for me? Am I forbid to trust thy blood? Hast thou not pardons, rich and free? And grace, an overwhelming flood? 2 Presumptuous thought! to fix the bound-- To limit mercy's sovereign reign: What other happy souls have found, I'll seek; nor shall I seek in vain. 3 I own my guilt; my sins confess; Can men or devils make them more? Of crimes, already numberless, Vain the attempt to swell the score. 4 Were the black list before my sight, While I remember thou hast died, 'Twould only urge my speedier flight To seek salvation at thy side. 5 Low at thy feet I'll cast me down, To thee reveal my guilt and fear; And--if thou spurn me from thy throne-- I'll be the first who perish'd there.

How sad our state by nature is!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 290 hymnals Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ The sinner trusting in Christ for salvation Lyrics: 1 How sad our state by nature is! Our sin how deep it stains! And satan binds our captive minds Fast in his slavish chains. 2 But there's a voice of sovereign grace Sounds from the sacred word, "Ho, ye despairing sinners, come, And trust upon the Lord." 3 My soul obeys th'almighty call, And runs to this relief; I would believe thy promise, Lord, Oh! help my unbelief. 4 To the dear fountain of thy blood, Incarnate God, I fly, Here let me wash my spotted soul, From crimes of deepest dye. 5 Stretch out thine arm, victorious King, My reigning sins subdue, Drive the old dragon from his seat, With all his hellish crew. 6 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm, On thy kind arms I fall: Be thou my strength and righteousness, My Jesus and my all.

He sav'd me from my low estate, His loving kindness, O how great! 3 Though num'rous hosts of mighty foes, Though earth and hell my way oppose, He safely leads my soul along, His loving kindness, O how strong! 4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gather'd thick and thunder'd loud, He near my soul has always stood, His loving kindness, O how good! 5 Often I feel my sinful heart Prone from my Jesus to depart; But though I have him oft forgot, His loving kindness changes not. 6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, Soon all my mortal powers must fail; O! may my last expiring breath, His loving kindness sing in death. 7 Then let me mount and soar away To the bright world of endless day; And sing, with rapture and surprise, His loving kindness in the skies.

Where all divine perfections meet To reconcile rebellious man! 4 There wisdom shines in fullest blaze, And justice all her rights maintains! Astonish'd angels stoop to gaze, While mercy o'er the guilty reigns. 5 Yes, mercy reigns, and justice too-- In Christ harmoniously they meet: He paid to justice all her due, And now he fills the mercy-seat. 6 Such are the wonders of our God, And such th'amazing depths of grace, To save from wrath's vindictive rod, The sons of Adam's fallen race. 7 With grateful songs, then let our souls Surround our gracious Father's throne; And all between the distant poles His truth and mercy ever own.

He ran to our relief. 3 Down from the shining seats above With joyful haste he fled, Enter'd the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead. 4 He spoil'd the powers of darkness thus, And brake our iron chains; Jesus hath freed our captive souls From everlasting pains. 5 In vain the baffled prince of hell His cursed projects tries, We that were doom'd his endless slaves Are raised above the skies. 6 O for this love, let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Savior’s praises speak. 7 Angels, assist our mighty joys, Strike all your harps of gold; But when you raise your highest notes His love can ne’er be told.

In the cross of Christ I glory

Author: John Bowring Appears in 1,520 hymnals Topics: Salvation Through Christ Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me. Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the cross the radiance streaming, Adds more lustre to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide. 5 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime.

Or who has grace so rich and free? 2 Crimes of such horror to forgive, Such guilty daring worms to spare; This is thy grand prerogative, And none shall in the honour share: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 3 Angels and men resign their claim To pity, mercy, love, and grace, These glories crown Jehovah's name With an incomparable blaze: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 4 In wonder lost, with trembling joy, We take the pardon of our God, Pardon for crimes of deepest dye; A pardon seal'd with Jesus' blood: Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 5 O may this strange, this matchless grace, This godlike miracle of love, Teach mortal tongues, like those above, Fill the wide earth with grateful praise, Who is a pardoning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? Scripture: Micah 7:18

Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done, he groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut its glories in, when God, the mighty Maker, died for his own creature's 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 tears can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do.

When shall I find my longing heart All taken up by Thee!

Be this my happy choice, My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heaven on earth be this, To hear the Bridegroom’s voice. 4 O that I could with favour'd John Recline my weary head upon The dear Redeemer's breast!

Mine eyes with joy And wonder see, What forms of love He bears for me. 3 Array'd in mortal flesh, He like an angel stands, And holds the promises And pardons in his hands; Commmission'd from His Father's throne, To make his grace To mortals known. 4 Great Prophet of my God! My tongue would bless thy name: By thee the joyful news Of our salvation came; The joyful news Of sin forgiv'n, Of hell subdu'd, And peace with heav'n.

In songs of sublime adoration and praise

Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: Salvation Through Christ Lyrics: 1 In songs of sublime adoration and praise, Ye pilgrims for Zion who press, Break forth and extol the great Ancient of Days, His rich and unmerited grace. 2 His love, from eternity, burn'd for our race, Broke forth and discover'd its flame; And now with the cords of His kindness He draws, And brings us to love His great name. 3 Oh, had He not pitied the state we were in, Our bosoms His love had ne'er felt: We all would have lived, would have died too in sin, And sunk with the load of our guilt. 4 What was there in man that could merit esteem, Or give the Creator delight? 'Twas "Even so, Father," we ever must sing, Because it seem'd good in Thy sight. 5 Urged on by His grace, did the Saviour appear, The bearer of help from above: Now all who are thirsting may freely draw near And drink in the streams of His love. 6 Then give all the glory to His holy name, To Him all the glory belongs; Be ours the high joys still to sound forth His fame, And crown Him in each of our songs.
